Crazy busy week

What a crazy insane week! It seems like it's been the longest week of my life, yet also gone super fast. Monday we went to the pumpkin patch, it was the last thing I wanted to do with my daughters medical issues but I did it because my kids deserve to go to the pumpkin patch. If daddy was here we would have gone and just because he's gone my kids aren't going to suffer. It's not their fault their daddy had to leave, It's not their fault I'm tired and stressed so they deserved to have fun. I refuse to short change my kids bc I'm tired, busy, or stressed.
Lillias medical issues starting popping up again so I knocked down some doors and got her an appt w/ her specialist on Tuesday, which in and of itself is a Miracle. It's super hard to get into Specialists here because it's mostly military, all military has fabulous health care, which means if you need a specialist, you go, no questions asked. But, I got her an appt and her dr said it's time to start looking into some other options, like getting her a consult with a Pedi GI Surgen. Tuesday was a trip to her PCM *primary Dr* to get that referral. I LOVE Her dr. He's a wonderful, knowledgable Dr. Now, His office staff is about 2 tacos short of a combo plate and test my patience and sanity about everytime I need to get an appt but the -only- reason I put up with it is so I can see this particular Dr. He's just that awesome. So he gave me a consult for a couple surgens and also no questions asked wrote me a RX for Lillias preschool stating she can't have dairy. Nothing drives a mother more insane than needing answers for her child and not being able to get them 'fast enough'
Wednesday was my catch up day and wasn't any less stressful, piles of laundry, dirty house, cranky kids.
Thursday was our Brigades Fall fest which I used as our "halloween" as I'm not about to take 2 small kids out alone on Halloween. For-get That. It was crazy busy there and I was near frazzled but I did it and I pulled off my mommy duty and they looked super cute in their costumes. I almost had to smack the kid with the stupid pumpkin 'face' on going around scaring little kids, it was so mean. These poor kids were so scared. That kids very lucky he didn't try to scare my babies. I'd smack him on his punkin head and then take him to his mother to explain to her how her son is scaring poor little kids. Don't mess with me.
So yes, it's now Friday and I'm really hoping for some relaxation this weekend. On a scale from 1-10 my stress level is about a 20. Next week looks to be crazy busy as well. Also gotta stay on Tricare to get that referral taken care of. If I don't hear anything by middle of next week I'm gonna have to start knockin down doors again. :-D

I'll blog a bit later some pics of the pumpkin patch and the kids costumes but for now it's time for me to get ready to go on a run. The other day on my run I found a dollar..maybe today I'll find $10. Now if that isnt an incintive to run I don't know what is!

Peace!
