Yesterday was very busy as it was also laundry day. So I did all the laundry, baked cookies (they were in a package but I cut them in half and added my own frosting to make “Oreos”) baked pumpkin seeds and got the children ready for the holiday. Lara went to school as usual and Greg worked at home. I picked Lara up for lunch, fed her and got her back to school for a costume parade. My parents came down to see it and to spend time with us. My dad was edgy to get back to his leaf raking though. Anyway after the parade Lara had her party at school and we went home. After school we spent time all together before my parents left to go home for dinner and leaf raking. Anthony was a bumble bee, Lara and I were lady bugs and Greg was “Father Guido” from “Saturday Night Live”. We were an interesting group. We went Trick or Treating at about six. We only went to about half our block and finished at seven. The last house was Greg’s dads house were we spent a lot of time. I left to check on the candy left at our door and there was a huge group that hadn’t seen the bowl so I am glad I go there when I did. I gave out the candy and they all said they liked my decorations. I have a lot of lights up. A car even stopped in the street and said nice decorations! After that I stayed at home and gave out candy and we had a lot of Trick or Treaters this year so it was fun.
Today I have the lunch with the ladies in the big city. I am excited and nervous at the same time as I rarely go to New York City. I feel like such a country bumpkin there, and am still affected by 9/11 so I just usually dint go there. Greg’s sister and dad will watch the children while we are out. His sister has games planned and lunch all set up so they should have a good time as well.

Hallows Eve...
We carved a pumpkin finally yesterday. I wanted to go to a street that gets all decked out for Halloween but was out voted. Today I am going to just hang with Anthony and maybe get another pumpkin as his favorite design was nixed by Lara and Greg. They wanted a scary face and Anthony wanted a ghost. I also liked the ghost so if I find an inexpensive pumpkin I will carve that while the other two are away from home. I am so underhanded sometimes! Tomorrow I will be a matching ladybug with Lara. This will be the first time in a long time I am something cute for Halloween. Usually I am Goth, but as many who know me have pointed out I can get the “costume” out of my wardrobe as I like black and corsets, etc. So in reality me in a pretty ladybug outfit is a scary thing.

Moving on I hope...
Well we are done trying this month as I think I have ovulated so that is good. Greg takes so long to fell that darn cup that I am exhausted in the morning and he doesn’t get up on time so the mornings are really bad. Who know maybe the steroids will make me fertile? It would be nice if there was a positive side effect of these things, as I seem to only get the nasty ones like nausea and vomiting.
We are all set for Halloween. We have all the candy for the Trick Or Treater's. I bought some pumpkin bubbles for Lara to take in to the school party on Friday as a treat to give out there. Lara is going to be a lady bug and Anthony is going to be a bee. They already wore their costumes this past weekend twice. I will look for pictures later on as I think Greg took some. There was a costume parade at the local fire house and an event at the county zoo and we took them to both events and they had fun. We also picked out our pumpkin and will carve tonight.
Yesterday Greg’s dad said he was going to toss away all of Greg’s old clothes that were at his house. Well Greg didn’t know they were there so he went to go look at them first. His dad wanted to toss them out that day but had to wait one day and made a big deal out of that. Anyway so he goes to look at them and they are perfectly fine! They were in his old room until his sister made a big closet out of it and put his clothes in the basement. So now they are all musty and I am hoping we can get the smell out of them. I just think it was nasty for her to do that. She could have put them in the attic to avoid the must after all that is where she would have put her clothes. But in her world of “only I matter and to heel with everyone else” I guess the musty basement made sense to her. She was also probably mad because he didn’t drop everything to help her with her project. She picked the perfect time to do it and all. A week before Christmas! Go figure we were busy then! She said it could be her Christmas gift though and so whom else do we have to shop for anyway? Our children? Nope only Debbie! Anyway I am double washing them today. There are designer shirts in there that cost s a lot of money that we simply do not have to buy new ones. His family really tics me off with their wastefulness. They just toss everything out and buy new.
Any who my blinkies are not selling very well as of late. I am making a huge one for a group and I am hoping they give me something, as it is a lot of work. So far I have nine pages with 33 babies on them. All cropped to fit so it takes time to do. Hopefully business will pick up. I am thinking of applying at Target for holiday help but haven’t mentioned that to Greg as I am sure he won’t like that idea at all.

Financially bad...
Things are bad with us money wise. My medical bills are just putting a strain on us and we are not keeping up with them. We lost our savings account because the monthly fee was more than was in the account so they just closed it on us. I just went to the bank to talk to them and they offered us nothing. They said we will get the notification in our next statement. I am so mad at them for that.

Still ill...
I am still feeling ill, and scared to leave the house alone. Last night I went to the playhouse for Player’s Night. The play was OK, and it was nice to see people. I just felt awkward and am sure I didn’t say anything right at all. I just can’t talk anymore without sounding like an idiot. On the way home I almost got into an accident so I think night driving should be out for a while. I didn’t see the car until the last minute and we barely missed each other. It shook me up. Of coarse there was someone on a cell phone nearby that was overreacting. That is just my bad luck to have that bonus.
Hopefully we can do something fun today as Greg is finally not working this weekend. We need the money so that is why he works so much. Financially we are bad off. Apparently our bank charged us a monthly fee of $2 on our savings account and sometime this past month took the last of it so they closed our account. We were never notified of this and so didn’t even know it was closed. Greg told me yesterday after he got home from work. Yesterday I was in NY doing the soda can recycling. We are evil and take our cans up to NY when they have the nickel deposit on them. After there was a shoe store that is closing and I saw sandals for 80% off. I got a pair for $8 and felt great until Greg told me our account was closed. Now I feel guilty but can’t return them, as the closeout said “no refunds”. I wish I hadn’t bought them. I need to get a job ASAP.

Trying...
I am just not feeling well because of these darn steroids. They make me moody and crazy at the same time. I am driving myself and my family crazy. Greg is having a hard time with all of this. We have decided to move on with TTCing and am actively trying again. If not now than when? We are also going to try to reclaim our relationship by putting the children to bed at a bed time and then having alone time. Up to now they have just fallen asleep on the couch and we put them to bed. Sad but true.
I also feel very lonely but also afraid to go out. I fear I will get confused and lost. I tried to call some friends but it failed as I wasn’t speaking very coherently and no doubt they probably thought I was under the influence of something. I trued calling two friends and both ended awkward. So I just can’t even reach out other than in the cyber world. I just wish this was over already and I can move on and live. Sarcoidosis sucks big time.

Trying...
I was in a bad mood all day Friday because of that accident. This has really just hit me hard and I am very upset about it still. It was just such a stupid thing to do. Why on earth did the owner think he could do that? What could he have done had he actually caught the guy? Just all in all a stupid thing to do.
On Saturday I had a busy day as Greg was working again this weakened. He got the call at the last minute. We really need the money with all the medical appointments I have been having so we had to do it. I started off my day with a blood test for blood sugar and hemoglobin CBC. Later I took the children solo to “Family Fun day” at Lara’s school. We had promised to take them for weeks now and so they were looking forward to it. They had a great time. There were a few inflatables there a big slide, a maze and a spider thing that had Velcro. The children wore a suit made of the stiff side and a worker tossed them on a wall of the soft stuff and they stuck there. Lara hated that but Anthony loved it. All in all they both had a great time. After we just stayed at home at had some family time.
Sunday I took Lara to church solo. After she went to CCD class and I took a short walk. I ended up back at the church and so went to a second mass by myself. I need that and felt slightly better for it. Rockland County as the stores here are closed on Sunday. After that we visited with my parents and then home for dinner. I went from 40 mg. to 30 mg. of Prednisone today so that is good. Hopefully I will feel less ill and not throw up every day. Some days I get sick several times so this is not good at all.
Monday was our seventh anniversary. Greg stayed at home so no time for the computer really. I had wash to do and I made a special dinner. I also made a chocolate pie for desert. So I was busy most of the day. For dinner I made the chicken stuffed breast that I had bought from Omaha streaks. For most it is simple thing to do but not being a cook it took me more time than most. I did manage to make mashed potatoes from scratch though. I gave Greg an anniversary clock I won on e-bay and he gave me a pair of fashion earrings. I ended up getting sick after dinner again due to the darn meds I am on.
Tuesday I had to alter Lara’s PJ’s as today is “Wear Your Favorite PJ’s To School” day. They were too long for her so I hemmed the legs and arms. Again not being a seamstress it took me a long time to do. Later on I saw my Pulmonologist about the blood test and what to do. He does not want me on long term Prednisone and wants me to take other meds should I need further treatment in a month. He said that the 40 mg. was a lot for me to take and that my symptoms should decrease now that I am on 30 mg. All my symptoms are from the steroids according to him as they just have so many bad side effects. My sugar levels are normal, but once again the hemoglobin is low. So I have to get a bone marrow biopsy and some other tests. I also have to see a hematologist to set all that up. He recommended one but the one he recommended was dealing with my MIL when she was sick. The last time he saw her he sent her home saying she was OK. Well she felt so bad she went to the hospital instead and ten days later she died. So I haven’t faith in this doctor at all. I have to find another one. After I just couldn’t eat dinner and just stayed in bed and mended some more clothes. I ended up doing two pants and a shirt.
I am just so tired of being sick and am just going to try to move on. We are starting up again tonight TTCing as it is driving me crazy that we haven’t done anything in such a long time. I just have to try at least. The progesterone is still making me nauseas and sick. Still keeping me up at night. It is hard to go to sleep and once I am it is not a deep sleep and so everything wakes me up. Once up it is hard to go to sleep again. Today I was up at 5 AM and so did some graphics to ease my nerves.
