A Case of the Nerves

Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous or how I am holding up these days. I can officially say I am nervous. This morning I woke up with the nervous stomach this morning which leads to the nervous shits....I know too much information. The thing is it is the truth. Hopefully if this keeps up I won't have to do the deed in my wedding dress. Josh is nervous too, it is really tense in the house right now. We are both nervous and a little snappy. But, we decided when we begin to get snappy to stop, go to the other person hug them and tell them that you love them. That way we remember why we are going through all this stress. Like I always said if you can make it through planning a wedding and stay together it was meant to be...... I am sure the same holds true for children, but one step at a time here people!!!

I will try to keep you posted today, tomorrow and Friday. I will be gone from Sunday 10/24-Saturday 10/30. After that I will have hundreds of stories to tell I am sure.

Back Update

My back is feeling better thank the good Lord for the ThermaCare Heatwraps. You have no idea how much those helped. I was able to get out of bed this morning and no screaming on the toilet in the middle of the night. I am in some pain today, but a HUGE improvement!!!

This is my cartoon of the week:

I would have rather tossed and turned

As you know from my previous post, my back hurst. Last night I took a pain killer at 10:30ish, woke up at 1:49, I thought the clock only said 11:49 because I couldn't roll over to see what the clock actually said, I had to pee. It took me a good ten minutes to get out of bed. I got out and couldn't walk to the bathroom so that took another ten minutes. I am lucky that I didn't leave a puddle or a river on the floor. I struggled onto the toilet, did my business, then the worst thing happened: I got stuck. Yes I got stuck on the pot!! No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get up without help. I tried pushing off the tub like I had done all day, nothing worked. I had to cry and scream for Josh to come and help me.

By the time I got up I was ready to go to the hospital and have them just put me out of my misery. But I decided to take another tylenol with codeine. That was my only chance. I sat on the couch as if it were a chaise lounge. I started to fall asleep and somehow in the night moved into a lying position. Next thing I know it was 5am and Jackson was whining to go out. So I struggled off the couch and miraculously was able to hitch him to his tie-out. I fell back to sleep and next thing I know Josh woke me up saying "honey it's 7 o'clock, it's time to get up." The first thing that I did when I got up was to fill up on ibproufen. That is the only thing that is going to keep me alive today and the rest of the week.

Wedding Forcast

This is not only a wedding day weather forcast but a mental forecast as well.....

The day is forecasted to be a high of 60 and sunny. Thank you weather Gods!!!! I will keep giving you bribes to keep this forecast.

Many ppl cannot believe that I am doing ok. I am, I really am. Except for the fact that I somehow got an AWFUL back ache yesterday I am fine. I was fine when I woke up and it was almost as if something "snapped" all of a sudden I couldn't do ANYTHING! I spent most of yesterday confined to the couch. I know that I should try moving but moving HURTS! It causes screaming and crying and whining on my part. Which isn't pleasant for any of he involved parties. I raided my parents narcotics stash yesterday, I love tylenol with Codine. I think I may have to move up to some Percocet. My family has been in the hospital so much this past year that there are several half empty bottles of stuf for me to chose from.

Other than that I think we are ready. My mother is finishing the pew bows, which are pretty much the last thing on the list besides paying ppl and calling and confirming a few things. Trust me you will hear about when I start to lose sleep. Right now I am just having wedding nightmares.

I cannot belive in 5 days I will be Mrs Joshua Honer.....
