Witchcraft?

Not just yet. Doc said I had a deteriorating disc in my lower back. It doesn't seem to be interfering with the nerves but he wants to run a discography to see if it is causing my pain. He said it could be leaking fluid or it could be messing with a nerve and causing the pain. I go on the 18th for the test. He made me a little nervous, he said it was a painful test, and for me not to get mad at him for it. He also urged me to go back to "his good neurologist". So I guess I am not a nut. He said that in so many words. He said there were a bunch of goofy diseases that cause symptoms that don't seem to go together, MS included. But the pain in my back, in his opinion, was not related to the other. So there is the Doc update.

I am still slowly but surely getting caught up on my reading. I finally just started at the top of my bloglines list and went down. I have read a lot of post apologizing for griping or whining. And I will say quite a few of the blogs I read are wrote by women who are at various stages of pregnancy. These women have a reason to gripe and whine. The hormones alone are a good enough reason to whine and gripe, that doesn't even include: morning sickness, weight gain, sore backs and feet, peeing constantly, and being kicked by a baby at various internal organs. And the cost of it all, whether its the first or third, it is still expensive to welcome a bundle of joy into your life. Others are just caught in a money crunch. Most of it going out to pay bills and not much left for everyday use. And tax time being just around the corner, doesn't help the moods either. And some are just ready for winter to be over. Winter Blues, I know them well. I guess I am not the only one with the *I must gripe* mood lately.

I am keeping Little Miss home today, she has a headache and upset stomach. And I just don't want to get out this morning. It is raining and it has been raining most of the night and water is standing all over the place and my back is hurting and I am tired. *What a sentence.* I have the I don't wannas today. I need to pick up around the house, I don't know if I will but it needs to be done.

Bella and Daisy are at each others throats this morning. All they do is fight and aggravate each other now a days. It is SO getting on my nerves. Both are playing then somebody gets pissed and the teeth come out. I am trying to discourage this behavior, and I stress TRYING. Daisy has learned the fly swatter is a bad thing. I can just show it to her and she stops for a minute or two. If I swat her with it, she goes under the desk to pout for about five minutes. She is growing and getting older, she is no longer the sweet, sleeping baby she was a week ago. Now she is a rowdy, running, nonsleeping puppy.

Ain't she a cutey? And yes she is sleeping in the picture. Sleeping, snoring and farting. Bella on the other hand was not farting, or at least I hope not, Daisy didn't notice it if she was. She is getting so big. It won't be long before I have a 100 pound "baby" trying to sleep behind my head on the couch. She has a habit of waiting until I get somewhat comfortable then she jumps on to the couch and moves me until she is comfortable. Which as you might have figured out means I am no longer comfortable. On another puppy topic, any suggestions on housebreaking? I have been at this and she just keeps on using the floor, not as bad as before, but I am tired of cleaning up pee and poo. And she uses her crate. And of course you know who has to get on her hands and knees and clean it out. Like I am in any condition to do it. She does go to the door and whine some now, but most of it is because she wants to go out and play. She is SO easily distracted. She can be bowed up and fixing to go and the cat can walk by and she "forgets" what she is doing and runs after the cat. And if a dog barks, Little Miss bad ass, runs to the house wanting in! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just heard the word snow mentioned on the weather report. Possibly an inch or two here. I will believe it when I see it. They always say snow and we never get it. I guess that's life in Alabama.

I guess I should go, the baby has uttered those dreaded words....I'm hungry! She wants eggs in a shot glass. Soft boiled eggs with strips of toast to dip into it. She always wants that and she knows I do not do very well with them. The whites are supposed to be done and the yolk is supposed to be runny. I end up with the yolk hard or the whites runny. And runny whites are nasty.

Another request for advice. Hubby smashed his thumb with a hammer, I can only assume it was an accident. Anyway.... he did it this past Sunday. Last night he whinedsaid it was hurting further down into his hand and he has something red bumped up next to his nail. Looks like meat. He has, or at least he says he has, boiled it with peroxide and it doesn't bubble up. He can't stand weenie that he is for you to touch it. There is no swelling, so I assume there is no broken bone. Question is, what can I do to stop his whining help him to feel better?

OK, I guess I should quit stalling and go fix Little Miss her eggs. As Always.....

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!
