Funny how life works...

To make a long story short, went to see the Doc today and well I'm having surgery in the next couple of weeks.  Initially I was going to try to hold off till December but things took a turn in a different direction and well...unless I want a drainage tube stuck in my back I have to get surgery done soon. I'm praying all goes well! Aside from that, haven't had a whole lot of time to list but may work on that the next few days. I'm not sure how much surgery costs will be so I need to make some money fast. I hope to update my totals soon but things keep popping up. I'm hoping to make time this weekend. Have a great week!

Day Surgery, listing and dinner fail

Had day surgery Thursday...procedure was not successful and so major surgery will be a little more difficult. I was so bummed but at this point I can't cry or complain. This is what it is and hopefully soon I'll feel close to normal again.  In the meantime, I'm going to list away on Ebay. With the added medical expenses, our budget is tight! So every bit helps :) Last night, I decided to make chicken and rice. I'm not a great cook and so I take the  "lets add this and this" approach. Well, I wanted to simmer the chicken a bit and decided to add a little chicken stock. Never bothered to check the best use by date. After pouring a bit, I gave it a sniff and it was not good! Dinner went into the trash and we ate pb and j sandwiches. Lol.  Today, I plan on going to watch Mr. Man and the kids fish. Weather is going to be nice so I'm looking forward to it :) Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Having Day Surgery today :/

I'm a big ball of anxious right now. Having day surgery in a few hours. If y'all could send a good vibe/prayer my way I'd appreciate it. If all goes well, it will make my big surgery much easier. Our finances are taking a backseat again. I'm hoping we can somewhat keep it together. It's hard because my health directly affects our spending. If I cant cook, clip coupons or shop for the best deal then that makes a dent in our budgets bottom line. God willing, Ill post an update later :)

Hiding under a rock and talking finances with Mr. Man

I never seem to have enough time lately. Between the kids, Dad, Mr. Man and doctor appointments, everything has been turned upside down. This past weekend we had a three day slumber party due to the big Anime convention in town.  Mr. Man sacrificed himself and camped out at the convention each day to keep tabs on the girls.  They loved it and we loved seeing how happy it made our kiddo and friends. I was a bit under the weather and had an ER visit the night before the convention was to start.  Turns out I had a kidney infection in addition to my current ailments. Oh what fun.  Went to the specialist and after two days of CT scans, I got a diagnosis.  I will have to have two surgeries. The first is a day surgery this coming week. Is a quick surgery that will involve some prep for my big surgery in the next few weeks.  I'm scared, anxious and weirdly relieved that hopefully I will feel better soon. Aside from that I have been helping Dad at the fleamarket every weekend.  I enjoy
