OCD-or whatever you want to call this blog?!?

Kiss my days and weekends goodbye until November. Football starts on Monday! This is my favorite time of year. I’m such an organization geek. I love to organize the teams, paperwork, concessions, coaches….just be involved. I may complain about it sometimes but when someone tries to help me out or when people make me delegate tasks it drives me crazy! I think I’m a bit OCD about controlling stuff like this.

Ok…who am I kidding I’m OCD about controlling everything. Dan tells me all the time “Just let it go, it’s not your problem”…(like some of the paperwork was not being done on time) and I was freaking out about it or heaven forbid I can’t have control over something that is beyond my control…like weather, other people being late, sickness, etc and because I have to be in control of everything, I’m usually early for everything so I can be the first to touch it, feel it, do it,….he also tells me I have to leave 10 minutes early to be 20 minutes early for an event.

This is a good thing and a bad thing…good because I am very organized, have control, get things done early…bad because I tend to have a “heart attack” about things that are not going smoothly.

Ok..that’s my ramble for the day.

(I just read this back and wow, am I jabbering or what?)

Number's not up

Ok..so my number isn't up..I'm not dying..I went and got my results from the 19 vials of blood they took and the good news is they found nothing..and the bad news is, they found nothing...the only thing abnormal was my levels for allergens were up.

No crap...really? I could have told you that and not drained a gallon of blood out of me.

Anyway she is calling it a transient allergy (comes and goes) no reason, no warning...so the medicine they gave me seems to help with the itching and that is all that matters to me...I was going crazy.

So, I guess I'm fine.

Get out of my head

Recently I got to thinking about “What ifs”…why, I don’t know…I don’t dwell on them but sometimes I tend to think bad “What ifs”…I guess that wouldn’t make me a mom if I didn’t, right?

Since Dan’s not working, what if I lost my job too?

What if one of my kids gets seriously sick?

What if one of my parents die, how will I help the other?

What if my house was on fire and I could only save one other person?

What if I became blind?

Ok…you get the idea right? Just rambling and not sure why all of a sudden these things are popping into my head.

I'm gonna suck your blood......

You would have thought I got attacked by a vampire today!!...I went to the allergist and she wants to rule out a million things before we go down another path for the itchies. I got a stronger pill...I haven't itched all day...yeah me!!! :-)

She did order every blood test in the book. Liver, Kidney, Thyroid, Immune, foods, panels, CBC's....and 19 vials later..yes, you read that right they drew 19 vials of blood from me today. They took 10 in my right arm before she lost it then switched to my left side for the other 9. Then made me sit there for 15 minutes to make sure I was ok. Gees, I didn't know a person had that much blood they could just give up. So hopefully by the end of next week I'll hear back from the doc and see what she says.
