First of all, I want to say i love the commercial for the Kia soul, with the dancing hampsters and robots. It just came on, and I think it's hilarious.
Now, if I'm too much of an emotional mess and you're tired of reading all my crap, then do me a favor, and stop reading :) I'm so up to here with people's negative comments, whether they be straight to me, or behind my back. I'm tired of it. I feel like I have done nothing wrong in life to deserve this crap I'm going through.
I have been having back problems since pretty much the beginning of my pregnancy. It was mostly dull, tense pain, in my lower back. But now, i have the lovely Sciatic nerve pain. If you don't know what that is, google it. It's very painful, and common during pregnancy (yippee). It's a nerve pain in my lower back, almost as low as my butt, and it goes all the way down to my feet. I have learned what my limits are, so if i'm doing stuff around the house, and it starts to hurt, i stop. And that usually prevents it. So i have just learned to deal with it. What other choice do I have? I know it's temporary, and in the end, i get an awesome reward :)
All weekend corey has wanted to go to the fair in Puyallup (pronounced PEW-ALL-UP). I'm not a big fan of fairs, and never have been. But he seemed very excited about it. Today was military appreciation day, so it was free for us to get in. So i decided why not? It's a perfect time to use my camera :) It was overcast, so it was pretty cool (thank goodness) and it wasn't too crowded because most people were at work. We ate some fried food, played games, and ami got to ride a few rides. We were only there for about 2 hours, but I could feel my back telling me to slow down much earlier. I tried to sit down wheneve I could, and we limited walking far after that. We stayed in a pretty close circle and just did a few things with ami. She was having a blast, but i was hurting. BAD. We decide to leave (ami was hungry and ready for a nap, you can imagine the kind of melt down we had!) Corey walked to the car and picked us up near the entrance of the place, as close as he could get with all the cones everywhere. As soon as i got in the car and stopped moving, my back said "Hi remember me! I hate you today!" It was the worst pain i have had this entire pregnancy. It was only my left side, with pain shooting all the way down to my foot. I layed on my right side to try and relieve some pain, and that made it worse. I started crying, (yes i know) and corey knew it was worse than usual. All i kept thinking was "Why? why can't i just enjoy one day with my family without having pain to ruin it?" He asked if i wanted to go to the emergency room, but ami was so crabby I just wanted to get home to bed. Ami actually fell asleep with a french fry in her hand, it was the funniest thing. So we get home, i go lay down with ami, and i can't get comfortable to make the pain go away. Ami decided she had a long enough nap in the car (15 minutes) so i asked corey to take me to the dr. They have a walk in area at the ob section of the hospital, so we went there. Luckily we only had to wait about 5 minutes to get seen. So the guy comes in, asks what's wrong, asks how bad the pain is, and guess what the verdict is? Pregnancy!!! Well i could have told myself that. Duh. I'm here for you to tell me what i can do to make it stop! And what's the answer to that? Stretch! Ok well thank you for that dude, really, I don't know what i would have done without your wonderful advice. Also, manage my weight, because that could make it worse. Look guy, I'm hungry as a whale, I'm gonna eat what I want, and as far as i can tell, I'm pretty much past the point of managing my weight. It's not like i can diet. Its not safe for the baby. So he gives me a pamphlet. A pamphlet. All about "Sciatica". Also, a brace that i have to go walk across the whole hospital to get. So we walk to the other side of hospital, and get pointed to 3 different places (all by rude people) only to be greeted by yet another rude worker who hates their job. Here's a tip lady, get a new job! It's not California, i'm sure you can find SOMETHING. She asks for my slip, looks at it, and says "can you bring this back tomorrow?" i was like uh sure? Corey was not having it lol. He said what time do you close? She says 3:30. He looks at his watch and guess what time it was? 3:31!!!!!! He said "you're really not gonna take her because of one minute and make us come back?" she mumbled something about being busy and ready to close. That just put me over the edge. How can someone be so inconsiderate? I understand people wanna get off work and go home. I get that i do. But honestly i like to think that if i was working there, and i saw a pregnant woman who looked like hell like i did today, i would help her out. Especially being a woman i thought she would understand. But no. I'm gonna have to go back tomorrow.
I'm so exhausated from crying so much, and i'm in pain, I just wish i could sleep (but of course, that's left the building too).
Well thanks for reading my rant, i'm sure there will be plenty more to come.
