catching up:
...I got a new job. the video store closes on March 14th. I'm sad. I really liked the people that I work with. But I am now a "companion" to a mentally challenged woman. Well, I can't really say "mentally challenged"...she's just nuts! ;) and she's lonely, so I spend time with her...get her to do her chores...stuff like that. be her friend basically, I guess.
...but I'm not sure I can do it. It breaks my heart. she's only FOUR years older than me, but she looks like she could be my mother. and she makes me think of my mom...this could have BEEN my mom...all alone, with no one to care for her..living alone in a one room apartment. it depresses me beyond belief. and that aint good.
...While in Texas, I bought my first pair of size 8 jeans! woohoo!!!! do you know how long it's been since I've worn a size 8?!!!! a good 20 years at least. woo fucking hoo!!!!!
...I have eaten a whole avocado for breakfast 3 days in a row this week. with wheat toast. yum. Making stuffed shells tonight...another YUM!
...took Austin to his neurologist to get the results of the MRI.
Everything is "normal"..tho how they know what "normal" is for him, I'll never know. And he said he did worse on the the testing after the Ritalin. I think this neuro is more focused on ADD kids...and that is not what Austin needs. he put him on Adderall, to help him concentrate in school. His grades have dropped wayyyyyy down. so he's taken the adderall for 3 days this week..he said it makes him feel like everything is in slow motion. Not too sure about this.
...I think our next step will be a neuro at Cleveland clinic who specializes in sports concussions and post concussion syndrome.
...I ma just not feeling American Idol this time around. I don't think they have very many good singers...no one is really standing out to me. and I haven't watched ONE SINGLE EPISODE of Project Runway. WHAT??!!!! yup, it's true. is it still even on? ;) I'm just not feeling tv these days.
...Peter Faccinelli will be at our local mall this Saturday, signing autographs. meh...who cares. if it was Edward cullen, then I would probably force myself to go see him.
...and this Saturday, I take classes to get my CCW license! Watch out! Pistol packin mama!!!
...my dog threw up yesterday morning, and I almost threw up too. I don't know why...it was mostly all water, but it was slimy and looked like egg whites..and I have a hard enough time eating eggs as it is!!!
...Austin passed his permit test and will now begin driving. O.M.G!!!! clear the roads people!
...I got this new stuff....its a makeup primer that you put on before your makeup. it's the consistency of dried up glue, almost, but it goes on like silk and makes your skin feel amazing! and it hides pores and makes fine lines vanish!..not that I have any of those, of course...
...I also have some videos to put up from my trip with Bina...us singing in the car..playing pool...and discussing hiding dead bodies out in the middle of no where...normal stuff.

It's hard to have patience with medical issues - at least it is for me. Hang in there. Congrats on the tiny jeans.

If you can it would be interesting to hear about that. GB and his testing the neuro-psych asked a lot of the two concussions GB got his sophomore year in football.
Reading about your boy simply breaks my heart. I wouldn't wish that on anyone so young.
Small jeans, maybe. Judging from your profile in your header photo, you are packing SOMETHING into your jeans!!
Yeah I dont like Idol this year either..WTF...Im sad about that..Good for you on the size 8s You go girl..!!I love your new banner...ExCeLlEnT..!Great shot..you both look GoReOuS..! Your new job sounds challenging..who knows maybe it'll turn out to be more than you expected..!Hope so..Have Great Day..!
mark, what you tryin to say? baby got back?! ;)
The post-concussion neuro seems a really good way to go. If the meds are making him feel like the world is in slow motion, that is definitely not a long-term choice. Yeah, he's gotta pass school, but he's gotta live too.
Re: a post-concussion syndrome? Been there with son # 2. Do see a specialist if you can. The healing process takes a very, very long time - particularly if it is the second or third concussion. And my son was never put on any medication. Time & therapy - but no sports during that time! - brought him back...
You have one travelin' lady!
I need details about this primer stuff...
I'm with you on the AI, this year. Boring...not interested.
grats on loosing weight! You go girl.
Yeah for the 8's! You are looking like one hot mama~!
I too, need the scoop on the primer!
Is that makeup primer Smashbox? That's my absolute favorite! I feel the same way about dog vomit...yuck.
the primer is by Loreal..professional srudios or something like that. I love it!!!
TAHNKS FOR YOUR SHARING~~~VERY NICE ........................................
BETH I THINK IT IS SO CUTE THAT YOU AND BINA ARE WEARING THE SAME SHIRT IN YOUR HEADER PHOTO.
*SIGH* I REMEMBER THOSE HIGH SCHOOL WE ALL WEAR THE SAME THINGS DAYS...SWEET!
I'm sure their is a seat in hell for me, but when i read the first part of your post "Rain Woman" came to mind.
Maybe you could do a makeover?
Concussions are no joke Beth.
We delivered a truckload of Avocado from Mexico last week.
Idol and PR are over as far as I'm concerned.
When I go from El Paso to San Antonio on Interstate 10 every Wednesday I often think about how many dead bodies are probably buried out their in BFE. My dog sometimes pukes that same shit. odd.
I LOVE your new Header. I love what a great friend you are.
I think you may like your new job more than you think. I know think person could learn a lot from you and being lonely sucks. My sister had 3 different Aides before she died, and the good ones, just made her day. They made her laugh and really helped her a lot. They got her out a lot too, which was a really good thing. I know she touched their lives too, as they still keep in touch with me or really they want to know about Christie.
Having gone through 3 years of hell, of post concussion syndrome with Hannah, I beg you to go to a Specialist. The MRI show shit, except it there is a brain bleed, but they would have done that when it happened. We went to the Concussion Clinic for 3 years, and without their help, I really would have gone crazy. It causes so many behaviors, including the ones you mention, that regular doctors are not aware of. The ADHD medication would make it worse, according to our doctor at the Concussion Clinic. I could go on and on, but trust me, go to the ones that Specialize in Concussions. I learned that there is no such thing as a simple concussion.
I love how good you are feeling about yourself, inside and out. You are amazing.
