Walking...it's a good thing.

Well Dr. A add Seroquel to my regimin and it actually seems to be helping already. With my sleep anyway. I took the girls out 3 days in a row and walked at least 3 miles each times pushing a triple stroller. I'm sure I burned a billion calories. Friday we went to the mall to play and I got a few things from the uber sale at Bath and Body works. Then Saturday I got a body butter and lip butters from Body Shop. Today we went on a walk to Joann fabrics to get a project for the girls to make for their daddy for fathers day.

I've been hard at work on my new hobby and Joann's made me very happy by having fat quarters for 99 cents. Things are going decently but MAN hormonal stuff does not make this bipolar thing any easier.

Take two steps forward, get pushed back three, then get a nice kick in the teeth

So the husband is going back to school. Good for you say the people at his work. His boss is all excited about it and they say they're going to work with him on a schedule. Unfortunately Spring quarter we kind of mis-timed it and he didn't get in. We told them. He's definitely going to summer quater. The told us okay just let us know and we'll work with you....

So we get him admitted, registered, GI bill bennies started. He goes to his bosses and tells them that he's all ready to go. Their response? "Well since it's such short notice we're going to have to put you on night shift..." Now night shift at this plant is 12 hour night shifts, 2 days on 2 days off, 3 days on 2 days off 2 days on 3 days off. Then you start again. It's complete and utter BS. TOTAL bs.

They lied. Or it feels like they did. This is going to be hard on him AND on me.

It means almost zero time together. It means LOTS of cranky husband. Lot's of kids acting up because they aren't seeing enough of daddy and it means me with my kids alone for almost 24 hours a day every day because he's going to need extra sleep time.

Is it worth the extra 1500 a month? I guess we'll have to see. What a bunch of douche canoes he works with.

So I've Totally Slacked on This

Yeah I know. But hey it's been chaos in the extreme.

I'm up to 300 mg of Lamictal. I'm now forgetting things like, words, how to turn on my washing machine, how to fasten a diaper etc. The dr said this isn't a good sign SO tomorrow at our appointment we'll be discussing new medication options.

My hair has fallen out quite a bit. I finally cut it to about an inch short, slowly going from mid-back to shoulder length, to a choppy bob to just getting rid of the damn stuff. We were sick of pulling long hairs out of everything. I've got bald spots but I think when I quit the Lamictal those will grow back in the loss will stop and my hair will grow.

The youngest and I had a hospital stay each. Both infinantly complicated and ridiculous.

I've finally gotten motivated to start crafting. I think I'm getting pretty good at what I've decided to do and may even try to sell it. Maybe it will make me feel more useful.

My husband asked the other day what I've been thinking about and what's been going on with me...I realized that I really had nothing to say. I mean my days are filled with dealing with stuff for him, making meals, doing chores, taking care of the kids and maybe screwing around on Facebook for a while.

Oh the doctor decided to switch me from Ativan which wasn't working for crap and gave me Xanax....OMG it's the wonder drug. I'm on 1mg 2 times a day. My sister informed me that it's quite a high dosage. I didn't realize that lol.

I'll have to post up some pictures of my craftiness pretty soon. We'll see how they turn out.

My only disappointment is that I'm running out of fabric scraps.
