Wanted... pizza cutter.

My pizza cutter is missing. I think someone broke in and stole it... so alas I had to cut my pizza with a steak knife.. not an easy thing to do... WAH.

we like bubble wrap and other fun things!

something about Bubble wrap that just amazes people! Especially in my house! Here are the kids playing dress up with it! And a video of them Ravin' out while dancing on Bubble wrap about a month ago... yup, like I said before, we like bubble wrap. ;) I also have Angelo wearing some BCG's at my good friend Jamie's graduation and the kids in a fort I made on Saturday when it was crappy weather outside. Nothing like a good fort to make the rainy days go by!

Scouts Outs!

10 years ago my wonderful husband joined the United States Army! WOW! 10 YEARS??? We've been through some crazy times! 4 Deployments, 2 combat tours, to many field problems & schools to count. But here we are! I am so proud of him! Here's to my husband Sergeant First Class Wayne aka DRILL SERGEANT!

Regrets..

there are not many things in life I regret... this I do. My very good friend Jamie joined the Army in January and I have not seen her in 9 weeks, her husband won an award today and I had the opportunity to go, but I did not... well guess who got to show up for a bit? JAMIE!!! Of course my other 2 friends made the trek out to the site and totally rubbed it in! It's ok though, I deserve it!!! It just might take a little bit for me to be totally over it. BLEH. Anyways, here is PFC Washburn in all her glory! GO JAMIE GO! See you tomorrow, woohoooooo!!!!!

Critters love my house

Last year we had Squirrels living in the walls, this year I found a Raccoon making it's way into my roof!?! So the Game Warden was called and they came to set traps, and viola after only one night the little bugger was caught! Bye Bye Raccoon!

Having a little fun

I like to play pranks on my friends, it's something I do. Well today I got my good friend Shannon, we "broke" into her house and turned her chairs around and opened all her kitchen cupboards, it was fantastic. I also took something important, we'll see if she notices, ha!

Kidney Doc Update

went to my doctors today for another kidney apt. Things are going well. I did get some sad news that they are counting my right kidney as "dead" before it was just kinda functioning, ahh well. A big problem I've been having is the large amounts of protein in my urine, a normal adult should have less that 250mg I was producing over 2000mg. That was back in May, they since put me on 2 new meds, one in april and after 6 months of that my protein is down to 900mg so I got some more blood work etc done today to see if the 2nd new med is doing its job too. I will get results later on. We also talked about my diagnosis. with all the Nephrologists I've seen no one has diagnosised me. This one finally did! I have Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a type of Glomerular Disease, one of many diseases that affect kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) describes the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney.
with that being said these new meds I'm on seem to be helping! We did talk more about a kidney bipsy but he stressed he didn't feel it nessesary and it was really my choice, I opted for no biopsy. Too many risks involved in that and with just having one good kidney I'm staying away from the operating table, thank you very much! ha ha. I feel great and my blood pressure read was fabulous! 120/80!!!! So that is my update! Hooray!

Today is Kidney Doc Day! Hooray!

I'm headed to my Kidney doc in a few, to have a follow up apt to see if the new meds are doing their trick... I'm sure I won't find out today, because I"ll need to be poked and prodded. So look for an update coming soon!

I *think* I'm still 20

So.... I've joined another softball team, why don't I learn? I'm not as spry as I once was, haha. I've injured my knee, yuck. Ah well I will survive, but for now I'm doing the "it looks like i've got something fabulous stuck up my butt walk"

On a happier note I got a make over today. The time had come to chop my hair and get a new color...! woohoo!! I love it.

One of my favorite Videos via youtube
