Off to Winter Bible Camp for Cassi!

Well, where do I start. I barely remember what I did yesterday, but it was a busy day. The night before that Cassi got herself an iguana after finding a much better home for her kitty Ash Cloud. I have to say Igasaurus Rex is very awesome, but we're going to have to get him a bigger tank soon and I'm not sure when that's going to work out, but it will. It will be more difficult when he really gets big!! But Cassi loves him and so do I! Cassi took him with us everywhere we went yesterday - AFTER the WIC appointment. That went well and she is now getting WIC. We stopped home briefly so I could get some of my fuel money and Cassi to get Iggy,  then we went to Walmart to see if they were WIC approved. Nope! Went to the Walmart Market and they didn't have their WIC approval yet. I guess that means at some point they will have it! I also had to pick up a couple things for burritos when I made last night. It hurt my back, but not as much as it has in the past. That's from losing weight though I don't know how much I've lost. After that was done I finally took the  car to Claudio, my mechanic, and FINALLY had the check engine soon light cheked - Spark Plug 5 and cylinder. What's great about my mechanic and why I won't go to anyone else is because he will let me pay him later when I have the money or will even accept payments. He is SUCH a great guy. But Cassi got so bored waiting for the car. Iggy fell asleep on her chest as she covered him with a sweater she was wearing! He looked so cute laying there! I just felt so tired that I did take a little break before making dinner.

Now to today! Cassi was supposed to have her first OB appointment this morning at 10:15am. We got there around 10:00am like we were supposed to for paperwork only to find after 30 to 40 minutes that her insurance hadn't switched her over to Molina Direct yet. She actually let me speak to the woman who was from Molina. Cassi had to have a primary doctor and she could have her other doctor because once you're pregnant you can't really see a pediatrician anymore. So I sent her to my clinic - that I'll have to get back to myself. Anyway, she told me it would take 24 hours for Cassi to be cleared. So Tuesday is her next OB appointment which will be her OFFICIAL first OB appointment.

After that we had just enough time for us to go back home long enough for her to grab a few more things for camp that she hadn't packed and then took off to where she was getting the ride up to the camp. I think she's going to have fun, but I also hope she's careful too!

By the time I got home, my mom wanted to go to lunch - yep! Great Grandma! We went to Wendy's. We both got the cod fillet sandwiches. I also got fries and a drink - which I had about 5 fries and that was it for me, but I ate most of the sandwich. I still have some of the drink left! LOL! My mom got chili cheese fries with hers because she had a coupon for them (along with my fries and drink) but she wasn't impressed with them. I just gave Jordan what I had left except the the drink. Then but 45 minutes after that, I had to take Jordan to the Town and Country convention center to watch his friend Amy graduate, but mostly so he could see if girlfriend Alicia. Then I picked up Jason, but he take to take me to WHERE to drop Jordan off. After that Jason and I went to one AT&T store to find out we had to go to another location to see what they could do with my Blackberry Curve. They gave me a new phone and were able to transfer a lot of pix. Even though it's the same type of phone this one seems WAY better!

Anyway, all that took a long time. By the time we were done, I was ready to leave. I took Jason home and hung out with him for awhile which was really nice to kick back and do nothing for awhile except eating pizza and petting cats! But eventually I had to leave. There was one last stop and that was for my meds from the pharmacy. I started a new medication tonight that's supposed to help me relax! I definitely need that! LOL!

So now I am home. I'm hungry again and am going to eat the PB&J I made earlier. Take the rest of my meds and go to sleep. I'm going to miss my Cassi while she's gone at camp, but she has to have a little more time to be a kid. God knows that's going to be gone very soon!

I hope Cassi has a way of charging her phone so  I can text her tomorrow. And I am so happy because tomorrow I don't have to drive ANYWHERE!! Grandma needs a break!

Mood Swings, Baby Bump and More!

Well, today I woke up tired like I have woke up for several days now. But right now I'm awake and ready to do the things I need to do and hopefully will get most done, thanks to some coffee I had, but I can't drink it all the time without suffering the consequences. 

Originally I was going to write some letters until I had to take Jordan to therapy, but Cassi had lost an ear plug and my idea was to go up to Walmart, buy some orange juice for Cassi for the vitamin C and folic acid. I also got her a single serving of Tru Moo for the Calcium. When I went to check out, I was hoping to pull off about $8 so I could take her to get plugs for her ears so the holes wouldn't close up, but they only let you pull money in increments of $20. I don't have that much on my cash card. I was upset about it, but there was nothing I could do. So I was going to go to Vons because I KNEW they would take off only what I needed, but we ran out of time because I have to get Jordan to therapy. We were both unhappy about it. I told her she should clean up her room and that maybe she would find it. Talk about snappy. I guess we both started snapping at each other. She did catch me in something I do. I check my phone messages while at stop lights and she got WAY upset over that! LOL! I guess I know I shouldn't be doing it, but at a stop light is it really that bad when I am always keeping an eye out for the light to change? Well, maybe I shouldn't do that, but I do. 

But we did talk about other things. I asked her if she was drinking enough water and stuff like that. How many prenatal vitamins she had left. Turns out only a few so it's a good thing she had her OB appointment on Friday! Then we also talked about the fact that she would start showing soon. She told me she had. Someone already saw a little bit of a baby bump. :-D That and I asked her what she wanted to do about clothes for her pregnancy and she said she wanted to wear dresses!! She thought they would be better and I have to agree since she's going to be pregnant during the summer. I haven't bought anything for the baby, but it's my weird, "I don't want to jinx it" thing. I know she worries about losing the baby. She has mentioned it before, but she prays about it, I think. She already loves her little baby so much!! And for me, it's a great thing to see. For the most part she is growing up and taking good care of herself and the baby. I just wish she'd clean up her room! LOL!
