December 2011

On the 1st I saw Dr. Egan and he said that I should start taking the Lorazapam again, I said I would think about it.  I told him that Steve & I made up but things were still unsteady.  On the 3rd I went with Caley to school to decorate Mrs.Oskrobas classroom door for her student council assignment.  We decided to make a tree out of the small trees with the kids pictures on them.  It was a lot of fun!  Sunday the 4th Caley and I got up a little late and headed out to St.John.  At 55th & Wolf I get pulled over and I was thinking what did I do?  I wasn't speeding I didn't do anything wrong.  The officer comes up and tells me that my right tail light is out oh and your drivers license is suspended!  I was like what?  Back in June Steve & I got stopped and I did not have insurance then so he got a SR22 thing and we bought insurance.  The officer said that it said financial reasons so I figured it must have had something to do with that.  He asked me if I had someone that could come pick us up and I said sure I would call my dad.  He said OK let me see what I can do for you.  SO I called my dad and told him and he said he would be there soon.  The officer came back and asked when he was going to be there and I said soon, I asked if he could just follow me up the road to church so I could drop Caley off and he said no I cant do that, I'm actually supposed to be arresting you and towing your car.  SO I said OK and thank you so much for not doing that.  He went back to his car and then another one pulled up behind him, he then came back and said we are going to go to the police station.  SO I followed him and his partner followed me.  We went to the police station and Dad came to get us.  The officer said Dad could take Caley to church but I could not leave yet.  I guess I'm arrested.  Dad, mom & Caley went to Dominicks and I was printed and had my mugshot taken.  Luckily for me this officer was so mice not to have done this in front of Caley, he also gave me an Ibond so I didn't have to pay bail.  He gave me my tickets and said my court date would be the 3rd of January.  I asked him if he thought Steve's would be suspended too and he said probably, I also asked if I could drive and he said no way!  SO dad came back and got me and we went home.  Caley & I had to go to her cousin Anthony's birthday party at the park which was good because I also volunteered to work the door at the winter wonderfest at the middle school at 2.  So mom dropped us off and we had a good time.  Its nice to see Bills family and for Caley to play with her other cousins.  The winter wonderfest was awesome and then we went home in enough time to see the bears lose.  On the 5th I went and had my blood taken at Burr Ridge it was 29K.  On December 7,2011, Pearl Harbor Day, I was supposed to have Rituxin but Dr. M had canceled it.  I had made Caley's 6 month dentist appointment for this day and I had to have mom drive us.  David was crabby that we couldn't pick him up and that made mom crabby and she was fighting with me.  Lately she had been fighting with me all the time because of the fact that I took Steve back.  I told her that I didn't care what anyone thought or what Steve did or didn't do because I knew that I did not want to be with out him.  The 8th was Davids 13th birthday!!  On the 10th he had his birthday party at the indoor water park hotel in Elmhurst.  I took Caley for a bit and then we went home.  I forgot to mention that mom & I went to the insurance guy and they told us to go to the DMV to find out what was up.  We took Steve with us as well to find out if his is suspended too.  They checked and said mine was for SR22 violation and Steve's was fine.  SO back to the insurance guy and they took care of the SR22 thing.  On the 12th I got a letter from the Secretary of State saying that I could drive again.  However I also got a letter saying that my court date was actually the 23rd of January.  Friday the 16th was my one year anniversary of ITP and that is when I started to put all of this together to put on paper.  On the 18th the bears played the seahawks and lost it was now evident that our season was over.  Also Dr. M said I didn't have to see her again until the 4th of January but to get a count checked on the 21st.  I decide to go on Monday instead of Wednesday and my count was 47K.  I got to go to down on the prednisone to 5 & 2.5 every other day.  Christmas came and went without any issues other then kids fighting again!!  LOL!!  The bears played the packers on Christmas night and we had hoped that we would be able to beat them by some miracle but we couldn't.  New years eve we had Carol & the Du and kids over and also Brian and Grace who have moved back to the neighborhood, since him and Jackie were splitting up.  We had a great time and I was so glad to be starting the new year with Steve!
