rough day

Well started out this morning with a bang. Made the kids some leftover pancakes and scrambled eggs. They ate 4 pancakes and finished off 7 scrambled eggs and asked for more:/...I had to settle for corn flakes bc they ate what I was gonna eat! Oy!!

We busted thru school pretty quick bc E only had 2 papers and I didn't do crafts today, as we had Dr Seuss day at the library this afternoon. E is rocking it on the money .He had to "buy" 5 things today and pick out which coin to use and count out the $. He did it right every  time on his own! We're working on spacing out his letters now when he does his writing tablet now. I write the words on the board and he has to write them by himself. So he's been cramming all the letters together. Stole a trick from Mom and had him color a popsicle stick and now that's his spacing stick for after every word:) we'll see how that goes tomorrow.

All morning I felt some pain in the same area I've had off and on this whole time, and then in my kidney area and all across my low back. It got pretty rough by lunchtime so started drinking some cranberry like crazy and water too, and finally took some ibuprofen. Ugh. If it's not one thing, it's another. I don't know if this is all related or not. I had pizza last night, and think I may have crossed the line. So, we'll see. The GI called today and looks like it's only gonna be 90-some bucks outta pocket for the colonoscopy, so that is totally awesome. Loving our new BCBS health ins. We got an itemized bill from the hospital and it was almost 19k before our insurance. Out of pocket not quite $700 but we're holding our breath on that .There's prob'ly still more we hafta pay. OUCH. Just thankful it's not too bad.

Took the kids to the Dr. Seuss time at the library. It was pretty cute but not as organized and smooth-flowing as it shoulda been. A lot of moms had to jump in to help. It was fine, but w/ feeling like poo, just made me feel on edge more. E wouldn't shut his mouth...always asking ?'s about the book and "can I GO NEXT??!!" on everything. We are working on that. Then Miles started crying for no apparent reason. He's been quite the drama queen lately w/ the tears and screaming. He just cried, but it annoyed me. At one point I think I even said, "I don't even know why I bring ya'll anywhere"....had to say sorry for that one later. UGH. I can just really tell when  I don't feel well how much more irritated I get w/ the boys.

Well, gotta make a quick grocery list. Still having a hard time w/ that as I can't eat everything, and have been trying to switch to more vegan stuff but feel like I'm waiting around for Monday's results before I buy all this stuff and it goes bad. Got a cool vegan slowcooker cookbook at the library today. Really easy stuff, and cool stuff like enchiladas and such. I think I hafta do liquids all day Saturday too, so might hafta stock up on that. We juiced s'more Mercier fuji apples last night when cousin Robert came over. He loved it. Couldn't believe how much it tasted like the actual apple. Too cool:)

Well, off to make lists and menu's. Yee haw.
