26 Weeks - 27 Weeks

The last couple of weeks I have been a horrible girlfriend/mother.  I have felt completely void of energy and motivation.  I go to sleep before 10pm and hit the snooze until 6:45am and just cannot function during the day.  This zap of energy has left my house a MESS!  I have 3 tall laundry baskets FULL of clothes to wash (not to mention the 4 blankets that need to be washed, dried, and put away), a laundry basket full of clean kids clothes that need to be put away, most of my clothes need to be switched from one closet to the master closet, I haven't made an actual dinner in days, and there's an array of clutter all over the house that "needs a home" - my mother's famous saying.

I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up/lab work.  I've lost a pound, which the doctor says that it's probably because I've been eating better (shifty eyes, shifty eyes).  I had to do the long version of the glucose testing, antibodies screening (since I'm RH negative), and the test for anemia, which consisted of this:  Fasting for 8-9 hours prior to my appointment (my appointment wasn't until 9:30am), getting 3 vials of blood drawn when I get there, drinking the nasty orange drink (it taste like really sweet, flat, Sunkist) in 5 minutes, an hour later I get another vial of blood drawn, then another hour after that I got another 2 vials of blood drawn again!  I didn't leave the doctor's office until noon and I felt FUNKY all day yesterday.  I felt like a bobble headed doll.  Weird.  I finally feel better today and I'm going to try to eat more protein to see if that helps with my energy level. 

^I wrote all of that Friday and then forgot the post it.^

My dr's office called on Friday and I'm not diabetic and I'm not anemic.  So YAY for that!

Please keep us in your prayers because Curtis got laid off on Friday.
