I'm Such An Idiot

There, you now have it in writing.

Mom has gotten me addicted to the show House. When she was here in April we watched it constantly. I watch it every chance I get. Mom was going to let me borrow hers since I've never seen season 1 or most of season 2, but it hasn't happened yet. I've looked longingly at the previous season when I shop at Wal-Mart, but seasons 1 and 2 are still $46 each.

I don't spend money on myself if I can help it. Even when we have extra (like, when does that ever happen), I'll spend it on the kids or James.

This is not why I'm an idiot.

Black Friday. The biggest shopping day of the year. Yep, you guessed it. Circuit City has Season 1 & 2 for $12.99 each. OMG, my heart started racing. Luckily this wasn't one of those 5 hour sales. Who is going to rush out and buy up House first thing Friday morning?

EVERYONE!!!!!!

Circuit City and Best Buy were both out. Sob! Target was out but they had a rain check for $14.98 each. Not my $12.99, but close enough.

I can only blame my sleep deprived mind. I had a 3 hour nap yesterday but only 2 hours sleep before I went to work. That could cause it, right?

I just went online to circuitcity.com and they have both of them in-stock for $12.99 each. With free shipping since it's over $24. I should receive them between 12/4 and 12/11.

I'm such an idiot.

It's About Time

Kyra's sister Tanya finally signed a release for us to get Madison's medical test results. Children's Hospital called last Thursday to say they had received the signed form so they were going to request the records.

Now they have to wait for the results to come and check to see if the gene actually causes the disease. If it is only a variant they won't test Kyra.

If it is then we have to get permission from the insurance company to do the testing. God only knows how long that will take. Luckily it will only cost $350 if they don't approve it, but they should. Then we have to schedule the testing, which we should be able to do as a walk in. We'll have to make an appointment for the results to be read. It will probably take 6 to 8 weeks for them to do the test. Hopefully it will be sooner since they'll know what they're looking for.

Usually, I'm an optimist, but not with insurance companies. Her 5th birthday is in April. She'll probably have her screenings protocol complete (blood test for prolactin and CAT scan) before we get her insurance approved and the gene testing back.

Life Has Been Crazy

It seems I haven't had time to do anything lately. Especially go online. Right now I'm working from 2 am until 10:30 am. Believe me, I know what you're thinking. It's actually harder than you think. Actually it's mostly not that bad. I get to work all by myself except for like two hours of my day. The problem is that I'm addicted to a couple of shows that come on at 9 pm Pacific time. That doesn't give me a lot of sleep before I wake up at 1 am.

The reason I'm doing this is because James is killing himself working overtime at Wal-Mart. Last week he had 20 hours of overtime. This week he'll get his 8 hours of holiday, plus 10 hours of overtime. This is basically going to be our Christmas fund. He also gets a quarterly bonus that we should get in December.

I feel bad that I can't work extra also, but for one, there aren't enough hours in the day. We don't have a babysitter and the kids aren't in daycare. Two, I'm not allowed to have overtime. I usually take a nap while Brandon is sleeping and he's to active for me to be online while he's running around. I'll have to try harder to post more ofter.
