Our after school trip.
We made the round trip down by the river and home again. The road that we traveled yesterday is now totally covered.
My Son thinking I am a daredevil, which I am in some things but not when it comes to fast running water over the road. I told him all it takes is one swift movement and we lose everything. Some of the levees that were destroyed last year were still not repaired is now causing some people who lost their homes, to have to leave their new homes that they are building on higher ground of course. But one particular couple had all their lumber in their garage...well, the water came up so fast that they both were trying to get all that lumber out before it started floating away. We have already had one death but I don't think it was flood related. The road that this person was on, its a dangerous curve..one in which I travel when I take my Son to his Fathers. I don't think I will be taking that way for awhile.
Anyhow, we are watching Manhunters on A&E...love that show. But whats funny is, my Son is sitting on the loveseat drawing pictures. I simply cannot believe he picked up my passion which is ART. I am so excited over that. I bought him specific pens as well. I think tomorrow if Ashley doesn't bring the bed, which they said they would. I am going to start going thru all my junk upstairs. Its getting close to the time that I wanted to move out of this house, so I need to get focused on the upstairs. Its a mess folks. Did I mention, I am getting heartburn again like crazy. I went to the gastro doc and they put me back on Prevacid. I simply hate taking pills every day. I do with a passion, hate it..hate it...hate it.
A long time ago, I went thru a rough patch in my life. It happened around the time my friend has issues with my neighbors who babysat her child and abuse had happened. I couldn't handle the stress and needed some assistance. So I was put on Paxil ....little did I know what that was doing to my mind. It calmed me down, a little too much I think. I went from being all talkative to not so talkative. I remember my Mom telling me that. After awhile I decided to get off that crap. I also remember missing a dose and it totally made me sick. And that was the final straw to getting off it. I didn't want to have to live and worry if I missed a dosed how I would feel the next day. I felt so light headed and unstable. I couldn't drive. It scared the hell out of me. I took what pills I had, cut them in half...and continued til' it was nothing. I went against the doctors orders but I didn't care. I did NOT like that feeling. I like being in control of my mind and body at all times. So now, I try my hardest not to let things bother me as much except when it comes to financial then that does bother me. But at least I am trying you know?
Well its gonna be a early night for me....this daylight savings time stuff totally confused my sleeping times. Now I have been going to bed around 1am....why oh why?
