Results and a reflection...

Okay so I'll start with the results...I broke down and went to the doc today. I have what is called Vertigo. I go through spells of dizzyness, some worse than others. I'm feeling a bit better after taking the meds she gave me the only problem is that I can't drive on them and they make me sleepy. On the other note...she said that I need to refrain from making sudden movements. YEAH RIGHT!!! I live with two toddlers and work at a fast food restaurant. She gave me a pass for today and if I'm not feeling great I'll have to get another for tomorrow. My speech is still slurred and when I try to move or refocus on something my eyes will bounce and try to stop and focus. I did make it to the meeting tonight, about half way through I started to feel a bit better but standing and walking to the car was well...tough. It's crazy, it takes me two or three times as long to do simple tasks because I have to concentrate so hard on trying to stay focused and not fall. I hope that the medicine works, I really don't like feeling like this. On a side note I've gotten a month's worth of sleep in the past three days. I'm so tired of being so tired.

I read another's blog today and though it was a good idea to give a reflection over the past decade...let me see if I can remember that far back.

2000 - Moved out of my apartment after I bought my first house, stopped using drugs, fell in love with my furture husband. Oh and best of all I made the step to reunite with my father.

2001 - Very boring year, I left fastfood for a desk job which I loved and then at the end of the year we had 9/11.

2002 - In feb I was dian. with a heart condition, actually 3. I turned 21, other than that..noting significant.

2003 - Went through heart surgery in April, got married in June, buried Duck's Dad in August, found out we were pregnant the day we buried him, buried his uncle in Sept, buried Samantha and Amanda on the same day in Dec. Overall it was a life and death year. Then I was laid off in Dec.

2004 - Duck made 9,000 in Jan selling cars :). I found a job that I didn't care for a great deal in Feb. Sunshine was born in April, diagn. with Asthma in Oct. He took up most of our year.

2005 - Was called back to R&K, bought new house in Sept, Duck moved in and we followed in Oct. Had a rough start, but we were making it.

2006 - Started working at the pallet company, Sunshine was hospitalized for a week after a long stint of being sick and I was pregnant again for the second time a month later, and was delivered in November.

2007 - I had to quit working and become a stay at home mom due to finances and Sunshine being diagnoised with Autism and needing special education services. We started to think about becoming more self sufficient and frugal. Grew as a family.

2008 - I started studying the bible, I never realized how much was in there nor the depth of it. Smiley was hospitalized for asthma at a month old. Duck got laid off from his job and I went back to work part time. I was able to run a business for 7 months successfully until the economy dropped. We also put in a windmill.

2009 - A rocky year, Duck is in school, Sunshine is home in school. I'm still working....grrr. It's been a long year but it is over. Nothing significant.

Well it took me two hours to get to 2009 last night, so I'll post this and start a new one.
