A new blog.

I just couldn't keep up with my "Daily Haley" blog. It really didn't seem like it would be so hard, taking one picture every day, and posting it. But it was. Being a new mom (not so new anymore), working full time, having to do the house work, and everything once Haley was mobile, got increasingly harder. Finally I got so far behind on posting the photos, I gave up. Now I decided to start a new blog. I feel like I have a lot to say, about nothing lately and my lack of creativity lead to the dumb blog name. I guess this will pretty much be about whats on my mind, and what Haley is up to.

So, I will start with how much Haley is walking and talking lately. She is really starting to mimic everything we say. Which means I will need to watch my potty mouth in front of her. She's already said a few things that we though sounded like foul language. Which of course made us laugh, cause well she didn't know what she said. But back to the walking, she is so cute when she walks. She is walking so much. Its a little more like waddling. Either way it is cute. She get soo excited about it too. The first few steps she is totally concentrating on what she is doing/ where she is going, then she gets this huge smile on her face and a few steps later, either she is at her destination, or plops down on her butt.

Some of you might know that I have been dealing with some nasty skin issues, and it is driving me insane. I won't get into the gruesome details, but I've been dealing with this since before Christmas, and it has recently gotten worse... and has spread to my face. Which makes me feel extra icky. I saw a dermatologist about 2 weeks ago, he said it was just dermatitis, gave me a strong steroid ointment and said to come back in 4-6 weeks. One week later I called and said it was getting worse, and spreading to my face. The doc said he wanted me to come in for a biopsy. Which I was immediately skeptical about, because I had only seen the dr once, couldn't they try some other cream or ointment before going to the extreme of making a permanent scar on my body?! Or what I was more worried about, the cost. Anyway... I made an appointment to be seen that day (Last Thursday) for 4:20 in WBL. I figured that would give me plenty of time to see the doc, and get to daycare by 5:30. Well I got there, checked in and sat and waited. A family that got there after I did was called in before me (there is only one doc at this clinic btw) which kind of struck me as weird, ticked me off for a minute, but then I was called back (10 minutes after my appointment time). The nurse went over my symptoms, and informed me the dr was running a little behind but she should be in soon. I waited 20 minutes. by this time it was 30 minutes past my appointment, still no doc. So I walked out of my exam room, and asked the first person I saw... "Um... how much longer is it going to be?" and went on about how I needed to leave soon so I could pick up my daughter from daycare. The nurse that I spoke to earlier came and told me it was still going to be a while, but (i don't really remember what they called her, but i think it is like the dermatologists nurse practitioner) this other lady could come in and see me if I was ok with that, I said sure. So said person (don't even remember her name) came in, and I told her what was going on, and she said ok, well lets do this biopsy and see what we come up with. I told her i didn't really want to do that yet, and she said well there isn't much more we can do if we don't know what it is. So I reluctantly agreed to go along with it. They took a tiny chunk of skin after numbing me up, then stitched me up and sent me on my way. The biopsy was supposed to take 2 weeks. Well I called the office yesterday because my face is really getting bad and I was hoping that maybe they could give me another idea for the itching (they gave me some sort of oil that was supposed to help with the itching, and told me to stop the steroid the 1st dr gave me). The triage nurse that called back informed me that she had called the lab that my biopsy was sent into, and they said the results would be ready tomorrow (which is today). She said she wouldn't be in tomorrow but she would leave a note on someones desk to make sure to call me. I asked if it was ok if I called in if i hadn't heard anything by the afternoon, she said that was fine. So I called around 1:30 the person I talked to really ticked me off. Listen here lady... I ITCH REALLY BAD, WHICH IS MAKING ME VERY IRRITABLE AND I AM NOT ABLE TO SLEEP BECAUSE OF IT. So anyway, she said to me "I don't know where this person you talked to yesterday got their information, but biopsies don't come back for 12-14 days" How rude. I was expect something more like "Hmmm... let me check into that, they don't usually come back that quickly." All she did was look at my chart and see that the results were not back yet. Nice. Anyway, she assured me that THEY would call ME "as soon as the results are in." So here it is 4:40pm, still no call. Still extremely uncomfortable.

Sorry, that story doesn't take to long to explain when talking, but it sure took quite a bit to type!

Not sure what I will do tonight... I should do the dishes and some laundry, but this weather has got me feeling quite lazy and sleepy. I am fairly certain Brandon will be working late as usual, but I don't really know cause I haven't talked to him all day.
