Happy Birthday, Sister!! (DaisyGeorge!! :) ) I can't believe you're so old!! LOL :)

Have a great Sunday, everyone :)

WOW, it's been a couple weeks, eh? Or, maybe it just feels like a couple of weeks, I guess it's not quite been 2 weeks...

Anyways, just been busy...doing this, going there, feeling crappy... I took that Provera stuff, and it stopped things...saw Dr. H last Tues. & she did a pelvic exam (yipee), and said that she wasn't 100% sure what it was, but she *thinks* she knows what's going on, but would talk to me more about it after I got some bloodwork done. SO, since it was a fasting one, I went on Wed. morning to get that done, then, came home & after Princess's nap, met Mom & Daisy to get our eyebrows done. That's when I found out that Daisy had had a pretty bad car accident on her way to work that late morning (about the same time I got my bloodwork done, so I wasn't home when Mom tried to call me). Daisy's OK...VERY sore, but ok. Her knees are BADLY bruised, and she's got bruises from her seatbelt, and she said her hips are bruised, too, but other than that, she's fine. Her car is totalled, though, so they're in the market for another one.

Anyways, oh, I didn't mention, on Tuesday, when I saw Dr. H TOM started, too, so double that yipee up there. It's been weird like last time, but I can tell it's almost over **keeping fingers crossed** Oh, and Dr. H also asked if King & I were still trying to get pg again, and I said, "Well, uh, not really right now..." And she says, "But you're not trying to prevent it, either, right?" And I say, "Yeah." So, she said that at my next apt. (this coming Wed...it will be a "fun" one, too...) we'll go over my blood work, and talk about getting me "regular" again to leave the window open for another pg. SO, that's what's going on in that department.

I've had a hard time thinking about getting pg again this time. I don't know why, maybe it's just hormones, or fear amplified because there's always "that chance." It's been weird to think that if I got pg again, it would be my 4th pregnancy. I don't know why that's such a big deal to me, but it keeps going over & over in my head...I just have to mull it over & keep praying about it. I do pray about it all the time. My prayers have changed from "I don't know what I want, Lord," to "Whatever YOU want, Lord," though, so that's a step in the right direction, huh? :)

Didn't mean to get all heavy on you guys!! LOL I'm gone for 2 weeks, and lay this deep stuff on ya...seems like I should've led up to that, huh? :) LOL

I haven't really had time to get online & check out journals, so I'll make a quick runthrough, but I can't promise comments...it's late, even if it is daylight saving time!! :)

Have a great Sunday!! :) Love you guys :)

No, I'm not going crazy...it's time to start thinking about Christmas!! I've got to make up my Christmas list (shopping), and I'm the "head" of the Christmas play at church this year...YIKES!! I'm pretty excited about it, though. I think we're gonna do a "dinner show" (at least, that's what we're thinking right now...it could totally change between now & then!! LOL), and I'm really not feeling overwhelmed right now :) LOL I'm going to have a "brief" showing of the play after church on Sunday (it's the play my dad wrote, that might make sense to some of you out there), and we have it on tape somewhere (at Mom & Dad's, I think), so we're going to watch that on Sunday to give everyone an idea of what it's supposed to look like. I'm not really looking forward to this, because I'm in it (the lead), and WOW do I look bad in it!! LOL I look like a total dork!! LOL It was towards the end of my "awkward-looking" childhood, though, so at least I don't look as dorky as I could...

Anyways, there's lots to do, lots to think about & plan...I've already got an preview/informational email out to the praise team, at least, since they'll have to start thinking about music NOW, and I really need to pray & prod for our 3 & 1/2 speaking parts. I'm not worried about the nativity cast, it's the "speaking" cast that I'm worried about. Not worried, really, just wanting to fill ASAP!! :) The date for this thing is December 10th!! We did set that tonight, so we've got a date to go with, a deadline/timeline, which is good for me...I need a deadline/timeline to work with :)

So, within the next couple of weeks, I need to get a hold of the script (I think I have a copy somewhere around here), and I need to write up a set list. The only thing I'm semi-worried about right now is construction of the tableau stage. At the church that Dad originally wrote this for, there was a baptistry that was behind the pulpit (think Bethany's, too), that was kinda set into the wall. This made a perfect little stage for the tableaus (pronounce tab-low) with just a big sheet of plywood (with wooden 2x4 braces underneath for support so it wouldn't bow in the middle) that was placed over the tub. Then, we hung curtains from either side of the opening into the baptistry. Well, our church (COTC) isn't constructed like that, and we'll need to actually build a mini stage. I know it can be done, but it's something that's really out of my control. We'll need to think about all sides of it, too. Trust me, we'll have to put a "top" on it, too...At the last church I did this play at, we had the curtains/plywood all ready, but the baptistry was open, not enclosed (like Bethany's), and when the lights went on inside the tableau, there was this AWFUL shadow on the wall above it!! It was a logistic I hadn't thought about...duh...It was my first play, give me a break!! LOL

SO!! There's a lot going on in my head right now :) My brain's just swimming with ideas, with "blue prints" with people to cast in this thing, you name it, my mind's racing with it!! :) I'm looking forward to having a cast set & a set built. At least there won't be any scenery painting or anything like that. Oh, and there's always my Dad to help as a "consultant."

Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on. I need to find that script, though...now that's buggin' me...I'm sure it's around here somewhere...

Tomorrow is lunch at McD's with ladies from church (and our kiddos can run wild at the playplace). That's been a lot of fun, and gives me something to look forward to on Fridays :)

Oh, I wanted to share with you an update on my "female problems." I called the nurse on Monday, and she called back & said she had no idea what was going on with me/cause of it/whatever, and said she'd schedule me an apt. for Friday with the dr. Then, on Tues. morning, she called me back again, and said that Dr. H said to cancel my apt. on Friday & gave me a prescription for Provera (or a generic version of it). I've taken this stuff before, and it just jumpstarted things back to normal. I already FEEL better & can tell it's making a difference just in the way I feel. I'm not nearly as tired & the bleeding has pretty much stopped. I hope it makes things "normal" again. Getting me back on a schedule really helps with TTC (trying to conceive), even though I'd rather lose about 20-30lbs before we get pg again...

Anyways...

Better go... it's getting late, and I'd like to go to bed (even though my mind's racing right now with Christmas stuff)...

Love you guys!! :)
