Mother's Day 2016

 Hi Everyone,

 Well Mother's Day is almost here again. I did this page and entered it into a contest over at Daisy Trail. I am trying to decide if I want to make the trip home to see my family or not. A part of me wants to go, another part of me wants to bypass the long trip.
  Karyn is going back to pick up Joe from his mom's and can drop me off at my sisters's house. It would be lovely to see them all, but the trip is really a long one. I will probably go. I haven't seen my family in 2 years come July so maybe it is time to pack an over night bag and take the trip. Then again I am so hot nature'd and they keep their house really warm. I am spoiled to my air conditioner and they only have a window unit here and there.
 Plus it will be really late when we get back Sunday Night and I have a CT scan scheduled Monday and then again I have an endoscope scheduled on Tuesday so it might not be a great time for me to travel.

 Last night Jonathan and Karyn took me out to one of my favorite places to eat. We went to Apple-bee's for dinner. Jonathan and I had the bourbon steak, YUMMY and the Asian Taco's for an appetizer and I had 2 margarita's. Karyn accused me of being drunk.... yeah right... NOT.... it would take more than that and I told her that she was just jealous because she was the Designated Driver and had Water!

 Then we had to take Nathan over to Laurie's house and she she called me a few minutes before we pulled up to say that the baby was going crazy wanting to see me. Well that didn't last long. We brought Karyn's little dog Foxy with us and I was forgotten as soon as he saw the "Puppy"....  Then when he realized that I was leaving, Oh it broke my heart, as he just started crying and saying "No Go Na-Na, No Go" Jonathan is taking Laurie food shopping tonight so I am going to go over and stay with the kids so she doesn't have to worry about taking them so she can do her shopping and I can spend a little time with them.

 So I met with a new doctor yesterday. He is really nice. He is a Gastroenterology Specialist. He is going to do a scope on Tuesday morning and then I go and have another test done on Friday and after that I will go and see him again to see what plan he thinks might be right for me. I am always nausea's and my food sometimes feels like it is just sitting at the top of my stomach. It has been really awful with all the hiccups and belching and bloated feeling. We want to rule out that it is not my sphincter in my stomach closing again. He doesn't think so because usually the surgery that I had a few years ago is a permanent fix.
 I had to have a complete blood work panel done and it took them over an hour and 15 tries to find a good vein. They even called in the Super Tech and she couldn't get all the blood that was needed either. I was 3 vials short and she said that as bad as she hated to say, I might have to repeat the blood work as without those 3 vials the tests would be incomplete.
 Sunday I am supposed to drink at least a gallon of water and on Monday night the same amount of water, and after 4 p,m. nothing but clear liquids until midnight and then nothing after that for the scope. It is a good thing that Karyn and Jon took me out for dinner last night hee hee...

 Cisco and I have been playing hide and seek. It is one of his favorite games. He burrows up under the cover or pillows and I pretend that I can't find him and will call and call and call him. He will stick out a paw, or his head and burrow back in and I find him and then we start over again. Everyone agrees that I have him spoiled rotten. It is good for the both of us.

 I guess I had better get off line and do a few things that I have been putting off. Cisco needs a bath and I need to change and wash my sheets and clean my room and get things organized in case I do go back home so that it is done and I don't have to worry about it later on.
 Y'all have a great day, and have a great Mother's Day to those of you who live in the States... BB
