Progress and Headaches

I have the worst sinus headache. Even worse than the last one that lasted 3-4 days. It started last night and my God, I couldn’t even walk around this morning. Every step made my head throb. I hope it’s not a sinus infection; a sinus headache is bad enough. I have a list of OTC medicines I can take and Tylenol Sinus is one of them. Of course, I don’t have Tylenol Sinus because I’ve never had sinus trouble to where I have to take medication. I hope the in-laws have some. I can’t stand this!

I thought having migraines while pregnant was bad–sinus headaches could be a little worse.

I got the invitations for Eenan’s party yesterday and also got some chips for the goody bags. I ordered the cake, too. Now all we need are the goody bags and the rest of the candy. Mary and I will be going to Mexico this weekend to get the rest of the candy (I can get a few that I’ve been craving myself :)). I’m just afraid of all the violence over there.

My dad-in-law started working on the taping and floating in the rooms yesterday. I helped a little (there’s something therapeutic about slopping squishy stuff on your walls then scraping the excess off) then went to run errands. I’m so happy with the progress in the room. I wish it were already done since I’m impatient like that, but for only working on it a few times a week they’re going pretty fast. Mario got out of work early yesterday and worked on a wall, but got mad once a huge piece of sheetrock almost squashed him.

OK, I can’t take it anymore. I was hoping sitting up would help with the headache but I’m feeling worse. Sorry I haven’t gotten back to anyone–I will as soon as I’m feeling better and have all of Eenan’s party things in order.

About to Go Loony

I’m waiting 10 more minutes and then I’m kicking everyone out. I’m so sick of this noise! Like my own two kids aren’t loud enough without help?

I can’t wait till those walls are up. Big Mario estimated that we’ll need from 22-24 sheets of sheetrock. He’s hoping Ricky’s uncle has some in stock; it’ll come out MUCH cheaper. If not, we’re looking at spending at least $150–that’s if the price hasn’t gone up drastically. The last time we bought sheetrock was 7 years ago when they added on our huge bedroom and they were about $6 a sheet. *screams*

Still…it will be bliss when my bedroom actually become MY bedroom. No more little kids (that aren’t mine) running in it!

I have my doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Fun, fun. I know the baby will still be too small to check her/his gender, but I’m going to ask Dr. C if he’ll at least try. I’m on pins and needles here!

Also, I’ve been scanning through journals of other moms on LJ and notice a lot of them talk about cloth diapering. Now, hopefully nobody will jump down my throat about this, but what is the infatuation with these things? I can see that they’d be cheaper maybe? But I guess my biggest question is:

How do you get poop out of those things? I have a hard enough time getting my boys’ skid marks off their undies!

Speaking of, I’m almost completely done with laundry. Only the towels to go–yes! I had tons of comforters piled up that needed washing and I finally got to them today. I feel guilty wasting so much water =\.

Mario’s cousin, Isaac, is in the hospital. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but his sugar was at super high levels. I didn’t even know he had Diabetes. I don’t think anyone knew. They put a tube/catheter into his heart just in case they needed to quickly medicate him and ended up puncturing his lung. What idiots! He hasn’t even been admitted to an ICU room–he’s still in ER Triage I think. I hope Mary calls soon with more details. I’ve been trying to get a hold of Mario at work, but nobody answers the darn phone!

Please everyone, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I hope he has a quick recovery.

I need to start on dinner and have no idea what to make (running low on groceries) so I should go.
