I've been a busy bee..........

I know that I haven't posted in a while....I've been busy! (I know...like always) Ok....deep breath....I don't even know where to start. Ok, what's been happening lately...Munchkin (my youngest one) had a staph infection on her tush on Nov. 9. It was a boil and it popped by itself (it was awful!!!). I (IT was out of town on a hunting trip) took her to the ER and they gave her an antibiotic. The culture came back and showed that it would work. She went for her 1 wk check up and everything appeared fine. Then, on Fri night, it came back. It oozed a little, but didn't pop. We (IT's back) took her back to the ER and they had to put her under and lance it. She was in my arms when they put her out. It broke my arms bc she wouldn't let go of my neck, even though she was completely out of it! The doctor had to pry her arm from around my neck! I refused to leave the room and the doctor agreed to let me stay. I was fine until she started moaning like they were hurting her...I knew that she wasn't really feeling it, but I couldn't take the thought of my baby laying there hurting. I fainted! Literally....yes, I know......go ahead and laugh! Get it all out of your system! I hit the concrete floor really hard! The doctor actually tried to get me to go next door to the adult ER and get checked bc he thought I probably had a concussion. I refused....I told them I wasn't leaving her bc I wanted to be there when she woke up. I probably should have gone, but they can't do anything for a concussion anyway....just tell you to come back if you start throwing up or being dizzy.... So far, I've only been nauseous....not actually thrown up. And...really sore....my whole body is bruised! But, I feel worse for Munchkin! She went back to the doc on Mon and they took her wick out (a long piece of gauze string that was packed in it....about 4-5 inches....it was really deep!! Now, she has a hole in her tush! Literally, a hole! We are hoping that it doesn't come back. They dont' know what they will do if it comes back! She is so tiny! She is a little over 3 ft tall and weighs about 33 lbs. She doesn't just have a staph infection.....she has a Methicillin-Resistant Staph Infection (better known as MRSA)! She had an antibiotic in her IV at the hospital, she is on an oral antibiotic, she has an antibiotic cream to go in her nostils, and a body spray to use once a week for 4 weeks to help prevent her from getting the infection back again! I'm praying that it works!

Ok, to back up a little..... A few weeks ago, I found out that I was losing my job. They gave me one weeks notice that they were shutting the company down. Then, I found out that it was just changing management.....I was still out of a job! It took me a couple of weeks to find a job. I'm still not making what I need to. I need to make a minimum of $325.00 a week to pay my bills....and that doesn't leave anything for any extras...even gas. That only includes the bare minimum...rent, lights, water......you get the point. Oh, by the way, my momma moved in last month. She is paying $550.00 a month....the bills are about $2,000.00.....maybe a little more since she's here using water and electricity. He's still not looking for a job....he just sits around and tells me how much he needs money for tires on his damn truck....money to fix his thunderbird.....which has been at his momma's for months....money for cigarettes.....he wants me to give his damn daddy $3-4.00 or $5.00 every other flippin day so that he can have gas to go to his momma's (ITs mawmaw)......I am working as a waitress at a buffet place. I haven't gotten a regular schedule yet. We have a ton of bills to pay and are behind from when I was laid off and he takes some out of my tips every day.....today he is gone with his damn daddy riding around looking for junk to sell or yards to clean up on construction sites....which translates to he is riding around wasting gas with his daddy....and probably taking his daddy to his mawmaws bc I won't give his daddy gas money to get there.

I have more to say...but I will save it for next time. I have a ton of things to do....1st and foremost, I have to give Munchkin a bath....she can't sit in the water. Then, I have to finish a paper that was supposed to have been turned in by midnight last night....oops! Then, I have to cram for a quiz in my other class.....it opens today and will stay open until tomorrow at midnight....it's all online, so I have to take it whenever I have time. The problem is that I haven't studied at all....literally, I haven't even read my notes, much less opened my book! I will be sooo glad when this semester is over!!!

More later....I would like to say that I will start posting more regularly but....we all know that probably won't happen! We'll see.
