Things are looking up!

So on Friday I had my mom wash my hair which was pretty fun!  Caley & I went to Sports night at the middle school. I spent the time talking with Beth who I haven't talked to in a minute!!! After that we went to drop off our cookie order form at the cookie moms house, she wasn't there.  Gina was there to drop hers off as well so we chatted a bit.  With the car running and the fuel level very low light blinking at us, we drove to the lanes to meet up with mom & dad & Coll.  Becki was there so I told her the whole Steve saga & then we left & it was snowing!!!  We went back to the cookie moms house to drop off the cookie order form & chatted for about an hour.  I had a nice time chatting with her.  Caley & I then came home & I watched a little tv then off to bed.  Caley had her first basketball game on Saturday & they played pretty good! The score was 8-6 and they lost.  The poor little girl on our team shot the ball as the timer sounded and it went in but they did not count it.  After that we started our day of running around, which then would turn into a terrible day for me!!  We went to lanes for breakfast & my sister decided she woke up on the wrong side of the bed and she didn't care, she was going to be mean Colleen for the day!!  LOOK OUT!!!!  She was done being mean by the time breakfast was over!  Then mom, Caley & i went to pick up my child support & then to the music store to rent Caley a violin.  Yeah if I didn't mention Caley was playing the clarinet & decided to switch to the violin.  So we had to go rent one.  Then we took mom home & then back out to Claires to shop for a birthday present for her friend.  I told Caley I did not want to spend much money & that I could not afford to buy her anything.  I really hate this, you know going into a store with your child & not being able to get them even a $3 bottle of nailpolish.  But I did, I caved and bought her that nail polish along with spending more then I wanted to.  SO now we are on our way back home and I tell Caley that since we only get $50 and we just spent $35 we do not have money left to go any where else.  She was sad and sorry that she asked me to spend so much, I was sorry too!  Colleen texted & wanted us to come over and hang out, we had time to kill so why not!  At Coll's I watched her do her workout, because it was way too difficult for me!!  She is doing awesome & working so hard! I left to bring Caley to her party & I figured I would hang out & chat with some of the other moms.  I sat around for a bit just watching the kids play and chatting with some of the moms.  Our cookie mom was there & grabbed me and said I have to give you back the checks you gave me for cookies.  While I was talking with her and another mom I see Caley come out of the gym to get a drink.  The party was at the gym & the girls were divided into four teams & given t-shirts to designate there team color.  I saw some girls also had markers and were writing words on other girls shirts.  This is when I noticed Caley who was now on her way back to the gym, the back of her t-shirt said "KICK ME"!!  I asked Caley who did it & she told me, she didn't seem bothered by it.  I was glad for that but really starting to get angry about it.  One thing that have to mention has to come back to ITP.  I was on Prednisone, steroids, from December 16,2010 to July 28,2011.  Then again from October 19,2011 to January 4,2012.  The steroids do a lot of bad things to you, one thing that most people don't think about is the mood swings.  I didn't experience I sat this mostly until when I was off of the steroids.  I have a real hard time lately controlling my moods.  I tend to go from happy to sobbing in a matter of minutes.  Laughing to screaming in a flash!  It is not fun!  I went home & talked about both things with my parents & really got more worked up by doing that.  I went back to pick up Caley & I asked the birthday girls mom if she saw what happened & she said yes and that the girl did it to several other girls.  She was just joking & trying to be funny.  I am glad that I did not say anything to her parents because I was still real upset about it.  I asked CaleyCaley was not.  I just wanted her to know, I am sure the girl was just trying to be funny & not mean, it was just misinterpreted by me, who is a crazy person because of Steroids!!!  Also I was thinking about the whole check thing & I thought how could I tell these people that my troop does not want there checks because they are afraid they will bounce.  SO I sent an email to the cookie mom saying that I did not feel comfortable asking these people to take there checks back because they think there bad checks.  This started a snowball effect that finally was resolver yesterday!!  Let the emailing begin!!!  Sunday I got up & sent Caley to CCD with Val & I went to 1st Church.  I signed Caley & I up for a mother daughter devotional based on purity.  It is called the princess & the kiss.  SO far it is real nice & I love the time that Caley & I are spending together talking.  I was at church until 2 and then I was headed home.  I talked to Val who had taken Caley & Eve to go door to door in our neighborhood to sell cookies.  It did not go well.  I got home & found an email from the cookie mom to call her, I did and got no answer. Colleen & I went to Dominicks to get a few things & that is when she called me back.  I know this is the internet & it is open for all to see so I will try not to say much more about this other then I felt like this problem was with me and only me because of who I am.  After talking to a friend on Monday night I did realize that I was over the top with taking it personal so I tried to let it go. Later that night I had an argument with my mom & decided I need to get out of here!  That is what I am working on now! Earlier on Monday I received an email from our troop leader citing the policy from the cookie handbook, saying not to take checks from customers.She also said that they will take the checks and to bring them back to the cookie mom.  I did & she was waiting for me with a copy of the policy in her hand.  I had decided at this point that I wanted to call someone from the girl scout office to clarify this policy.  I called & left a message for one lady & then called back & decided I needed to make sure I was getting to the correct person, so I ended up leaving a message for another lady.  She called me back within an hour.  She told me that it was fine to take checks that are written to Girl Scouts just not the troop.  Ok so all cleared up now, the problem wasn't that they couldn't take the checks, it is just that they did not know what to do with them.  On Tuesday I decided to send an email to the lady that my leader spoke with.  I told her how I felt that this was a personal issue & that they deal with me different then everyone else. I also spent the day cleaning my room, it felt great to get some things done! On Wednesday the lady I left a message with on Monday finally called me back.  She had received a copy of my email and was tyring to explain everything to me.  You see I understand the need for a safeguard to ensure that the troop won't have to pay bank fees, it was just never explained.  No one ever said do not take checks for cookies or make sure they are written to Girl Scouts & not the troop.  With that said I told the lady that the situation had been taken care of and that they were going to take my checks and deposit them with the troops cookie money.  She said they can't do that if they are written to Girl Scouts, and I was like I don't know but they are, have a nice day, bye!  So I was on my way to Dr.M for my monthly blood draw & check up.  I hadn't eaten anything yet because I was in a hurry out the door.  I had my blood drawn & I felt very dizzy & my legs felt like jello.  I sat for a bit & the girl got me some water until I felt I could walk again.  Dr.M had a student who came in first and asked me just about everything.  Then I waited & waited & waited!  Dr.M came in with the student & asked the student to tell her about me.  It was interesting because at first she presented it all wrong & Dr.M stopped her & made her start all over.  Anyway my count is UP 103K!!!!!  So awesome!!  Dr.M asked me what has been going on any problems.  So I told her my arms have been getting tired real fast lately.  I have had to stop & break twice already while typing this.  She is sending me to a neurologist to see if there is another reason for the arm weakness.  Today was an ok day just getting a few things done for dad.  I got a crib from down the street for Lori! Now I have to go!  Til next time!
