The Wheeler Family

I thought this day would never come and then :wow: BAM, here they were! I was so excited, I practically :faint:, but I perked back up quickly and now I’m :cool:!!!

So last night our best friends were here, and in our little group it is a GIVEN that once all the kiddies give it up to the sleep monkeys, that we adults get out our ROOK! The first time we played this Josh and Becca were a team and Chris and I were a team and that went… well, awful! You see, when Josh messes up and they lose it’s pretty easy for Becca to get angry at him and the same goes for Chris and I, however, you put Josh and Chris on a team and Becca and I on a team and things go much smoother because sadly, we are more forgiving of each other than we are our own spouses {note to self… check into marriage counseling}.

The truth is, for awhile we had been really, really into another card game (I’ll keep the name out so Josh doesn’t have to be embarrassed… could be considered playing with face cards!), but then one weekend we went to the Thraps and Becca pulled out Rook. I’ll be honest, at first I did not want to learn anything new (I do that all week, on the weekends I want to use as little brain power as possible) and I was not excited, but as the game progressed and I realized it was very similar to another game I knew very well (thus little brain power was needed), I really had fun except for wanting to smack Chris everytime he messed up (and vice versa for him I’m sure lol). The next time we got together with the Thraps, we played again, but switched it up and Becca and I were a team. WELL, let me tell you… we were DRIVEN. We had a catch phrase and everything (it’s a family site so I won’t repeat said phrase… let’s just say it involves two pieces of the male body that women do NOT have being thrown to the wall…. sure, it sounds bad, but you know…. yeah, I have no good excuse, our chair in outer darkness hopefully has cushions)! The first few games, Becca and I were ROCKING (or shall I say… ROOKING), but then someone (who shall remain nameless to protect his idendity, his initials are J.osh T.hrap! ) discovered that we were not playing by the correct rules and things got all switched up. Becca and I started to just… well, STINK and it was BAD!!! Then, we decided, we aren’t having fun! Let’s just have fun! Since then, the guys have not been able to TOUCH us!!! Case in point, final score last night in rook was something like 745 to 495 (although I will say, they put up a good fight, since at one point they were like -350 or something lol). We went to bed at 4:30 A.M. I think, maybe later, that part I don’t remember as well!

It’s hard to come here and post and know that come Tuesday, I’m not going to see Chris Daughtry singing at American Idol… but, ok… yeah… I’ve gotten over it. Anyhoo, my husband is taking his last final today and we will have TWO WHOLE DAYS before we head back to school and do it all over again! ROCK ON! But… I’m excited, we’re taking a class together and it’s a fun class called Human Quest for Destiny. It’s taught by a Professor who is very charasmatic and fun to listen to (even when he’s spouting some of the craziest doctrine I’ve ever heard lol) plus, we get to watch movies! I’m hoping it works out well.

Also, got the grade back for my abnormal psych final and mIRaCLe…. 36/50 for 70%! Look at THAT, I finally did not flunk ONE TEST! This was my first of the semester lol (lucky for me there is a VERY lenient curve)! If only I could have cracked that professors code earlier in the semester, I might be doing substantially better, as it is I was ONE point away from a C+! Oh well! By the end of this summer I should be WELL versed in Abnormal Psychology!!!

PLUS… BONUS for me is I get to see Josh and Becca tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m washing ROOK cards boys, so be ready for some butt kickin!!!!

So today I went to a new doctor. I had a good doctor before, he was perfectly fine, but for some reason I just felt anxious every time I had to actually go back to the dr, so I decided that perhaps I should try a female doctor and see if that is less anxiety producing and if I can get myself healthy. It was a slap in the face when they weighed me and I saw how much worse things had gotten there, but I kind of expected that because I knew I felt different.

The nurse takes me in the room and she has this stuff out for someone getting a pap smear, which I was NOT scheduled for lol… so I quickly tell her that my appointment says physical, but I am just there to establish with a new doctor. She apologizes and puts the stuff away and says, so you havn’t seen this doctor before? And I say, no, that I called the scheduling clerk and explained that I wanted a female doctor and asked for a recommendation and they put me with this particular doctor. The nurse frowns and then says… well, that’s stupid since she is leaving in a month! So, I’m thinking, great! I make all this effort to push through the anxiety and this is what I get lol. So I sit in the office a little while longer and the nurse comes back in and asks if I just want to reschedule since I won’t be able to see this doctor again, and I say, sure, but I need a refill for my prescription…. well, in that case, I need to see the doctor, so back I go into the office. The doctor finally comes in and she is just the picture of sweetness and kindness, so immediately I’m so bummed she’s leaving! But…. she goes over my chart and after a bit of an emotional puking (you know, where you don’t actually vomit, you just tell your whole life story, most of which is not medically neccessary information lol) and crying jag on my part, she kindly got me my new prescription and set up a follow up for before she is scheduled to leave, at which time she will have another doctor picked out for me that she thinks will be a perfect fit.

Ugh. So, I have my medicine! I’ve been ellipticalling and my last final is tomorrow. I’m hoping that everything will start to change for the better now and I can see some real improvement!
