Friday Night Leftovers - This CRAZY Week

* P was in Atlanta for three days.
* While he was gone we had another snowstorm! In mid-March! With bad driving, and driveway clearing!
* I had Benny home with a cough on Monday, called the MD, his left ear hadn't healed from the infection he had in California. He is now on a Z-pak and very crabby.
* Tuesday I because dizzy at work, I took a meclizine and became sicker. I came home with dizziness, dry heaves, nausea, and then the headache. It was a Vertigious Migraine. I get a few each year. P was gone and I had zero help so I realized I really, really had to get it together to pick up and take care of my kids.
* Benny sure had a large number of tantrums this week. Mostly about ELmo TV and goldfish crackers.
* My mom was hear to cover Benny while V had a sleep study on Thursday and I was in Atlanta. She stayed through the weekend (I"m tired) and then her car wouldn't start for the four hour drive home on Monday. I had to deal with calling assistance (no big deal), but it was a big deal dealing with her freaking out.
* So much laundry to but away.

My labwork.

Things are crazy and stressful and I won't even get into all of that. Because it would tire you out. Massively. So here is some great news and some lesser great news. I finally went and got my fasting lab work done. My cholesterol was aweseom - 179, my HDL (good cholesterol) was high, and my LDL (bad cholesterol) was low. My ratio was 2.4 which is well below the 4.5. My family has history of hyperlipidemia despite exercise and good diet, so I was thrilled!

My iron saturation was still really low. Still anemic. Also, my Vitamin D and Calcium were really low. Sigh. I haven't been on supplements since before Benny was born, so it looks like I will be starting back on them again. Ugh.

Everything else looked great! I'll take it.

10 Things Tuesday

1. We have more snow. This is the most snow I've ever seen living here for the past 11 years.
2. We need to get outside. It's been really, really cold or we would at least try and get outside.
3. I have always kept a neat desk at work. Well, it is awful. I had to pick it up this morning. I just couldn't concentrate anymore.
4. My hands really don't like hand sanitizer. They crack and dry out and bleed. I have to put Aquafor healing ointment on them several times a day.
5. We just came back from a week in California. It was bliss being in the sunshine!!! It makes me want to move there so badly, but I know the $$$ and traffic make it pretty crazy.
6. Have gotten into watching Breaking*Bad on Netflix. We just started season 3 and it is such a good show. Please no spoilers :)
7. Lent is starting. I am going to try not to complain. It's going to be tough, but I'm going to try. It's easy to get into that trap of complaining and being negative. I'll have to avoid certain people though.
8. Benny is really getting into watching Elmo. He will bring me the remote control for the TV and grunt and groan until I put it on. Only musical episodes only, please.
9. Next week I register V for kindergarten. What? Where did the time go? Sniff.
10. I am craving toast and biscuits. I try not to eat carbs. What does this signify?

Cheese!

The deli lady at Meijer gave me a piece of cheese.  Yay!
