Last blog protected....time for me to get some more work done.  I need to return some phone calls.  Hope all is well with you all!

Another tough day regarding pain.  I saw the chiropractor this morning.  I had addidtional x-rays done and an adjustment.   My headache is worse today.  I am trying to work from home today and I doubt I will be able to attend church tonight.   I called my attorney under the advice of my chiropractor.  My Chiro said I should be paid lost wages right now due to not being able to work full time.  My chiro said that I will not be able to work full time for quite a while.  He said my recovery will be very slow follwoing such a serious accident.

I just wish I didn't have to go through this.  I am very lucky in that my hubby's family has been wonderful about coming by and helping me.   I don't know what I would do with out them.  If my SIL knows that I am home alone at bedtime she will come over and put Tommy to bed for me.  I pray that I will be able to see some improvement soon.  I also pray that our stress will be lessened soon and our family will begin to go back to normal. 

I really keep trying to make sense out of this.   I actually have had two close calls to my life.  At this time last year I was in the ICU following a asthma attack with tac acardia (heart problems).   I live about 6 hours from my family.   They have not been able to be here for either of these traumatic incidents in my life.   Sometimes i wonder what God is trying to tell me by these incidents.  I am thankful for my life....do I need to appreciate it more....what is being asked of me?  

I am so happy to report that 20-year old college student, Audrey Seiler has been found alive!  I am so grateful to hear this.  She is from Rockford, Minnesota a town I used to work in.  I lived in a group home on the weekends there with my oldest son.   She was attending college in Madison Wisconsin and went missing Saturday morning around 2:00am. 

She was found with someone and they are looking for an armed suspect.      I am always so worried about my children.  I feel like I have more chances of keeping them safe when they are at home.  What about when they leave and go to college.  I worry.   I was attending St Cloud State University when Jacob Wetterling was abducted.   Most of the abductions in MN of late have been young women.  Audrey is the first one to be found alive.   I am very happy for her family.  Please keep them all in your prayers.

I have some protected blogs brewing. 

ARGH....my insurance co is denying all my medical claims at this time.   I called my attorney this morning.  He will take care of this.   My hospital, ambulance and chiropractor bills are already over $3,000.00 in the two weeks since the accident and growing.  This is stressing me out.

UPDATE:  Spoke with the Lawyer's office and the Insurance co. said they paid the hospital bill yesterday.  I informed the lawyer who else I have seen regarding the accident and they are forwarding that info to the claim's adjuster for my injuries.  I am to continue my treatment as planned.  I have a chiro appointment at 8:15 tomorrow.  Should be intersting to try to work after that.  ARGH!

I have a few minutes to blog before I head to work.  I am icing my back.  I have to ice for a little over an hour to make sure I make it through a fair portion of my work day.  I try to make it about 5 hours at work.  I seem to do ok with that. 

Not much new with me.   I am planning on taking Tommy to the Circus on Saturday I hope my back cooperates.  I bought the tickets before the accident.  

We founda great new indoor water park/hotel to stay with the boys for our end of the summer party.  I am going to call to make reservations today.  It is a bit later than I normally make reservations. 

I went to the Chiropracter yesterday.  It was painful to have the adjustment again, but I iced right away so I think that helped. 

I am working on de-cluttering my house room by room before summer.   I think I will have the Vets come for a pick up one more time before summer.  I am not doing a garage sale since that just takes too much time and I have to store the stuff too.  I just want it out!!  Last week I worked on our bedroom.   I do have a few more things to do in there yet.  I want to wash the curtains and need to clean the closet! 

This week I am working on my living room.   I am really enjoying the group started by Midwestblahs.  There are some great members and they really are motivating me.  I am also going to work on planning some outings for this summer.   It will once again be up to me to do the things with the kids since hubby is working on Saturday all summer.   I am going to start getting a list of activities scheduled now.   I want to be more busy this weekend.  We probably won't be able to take any long vacations due to hubby's work schedule and our budget.  I hope to budget in some small outings.  This could be difficult since we have such an increase in daycare cost over the summer with Erik's needs.  I will have to sit down with our budget and figure it out.  Last summer I changed my deductions to have more money over the summer, but my hubby doesn't want me to do that this summer.  ARGH!!!

TO DO TODAY:

Call to schedule end of summer vacation
Call for Josh's last driving lesson
Call vets to schedule next pick up
Call attorney about denied hospital bill from accident
Mail Child Support
Make shopping list and grocery list
Living Room Missions
Laundry
Evening Routine

I am trying very hard to get back on the Flylady train!!!     SO I am in bed by 10:00.  My sink is clean, my washer and dryer are running.   I know what we are having for supper tomorrow night, Chicken Rolls.   I didn't complete all of my bedtime routine, but most of it.  I picked up the toys in the living room it is a good start!   I worked for 15 minutes in my zone.  I cleaned off and polished our coffee table. 

Pretty quiet evening here...we made cookie afater supper and watched a bit of TV.  Hubby is now working on some church flyers for EASTER.   I am icing my back in bed while I type away. 

I start a good book last night.  It is very interesting.  It is called Finding Alice by Melody Carlson.   It is the story of Alice Laxton a college senior who slips into the world of Schizophrenia.   It is so interesting how she talks about her thought and feeling of what is going on with her.  She has some very lucid moments and then is paranoid again.  What a tortured world of suffering for her.   I have an aunt with Schizophrenia so I find this very interesting.  This book as well as the one I read a while back, I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb the main characters have delusions that they are chosen by God for a higher purpose and that is why others are trying to kill them, etc.  I do recall many of my aunts delusions we would hear about and I don't recall many of the biblical nature.  I wonder if it is common for persons with Schizophrenia to have religious based hallucinations?   

I am off to send a few more emails and then I will read for a while.  Good Night!!!

Dishes are done...with Tommy's help of course

After dishes I tried out those Sink Fizzes from Pampered Chef.  They are in the sinkright now so I will see how they work. 

Then after Tommy was done helping with dishes, we put together his trainset.  See I told you my living room is over taken by toys!!!!! 

I just woke from my nap, it is about 4:30.   Tommy is still napping, Josh is doing his homework and Hubby and Erik went to try to fly his kite.   I think I will make my bed back up after my nap and go wash the dishes.   I can smell supper cooking.   I love using my crockpot on Sunday's.
