I had to pick up Luke’s t-ball trophy, pick up a medication refill, make a doctor appointment, and get some groceries.

On the way to Florida we had to stop so I could get some Robitussin and Hall’s for my cough and congestion. The whole time it kept getting progressively worse. I called yesterday to schedule an appointment and the first thing was that I have a balance I needed to take care of. Mike was in training all day and was hard to contact.

I ran out of Zoloft while on the trip and yesterday was the 5th day without it. NOT Good. I know when my kids pray about me being grouchy, something’s gotta give or be tweaked. I NEEDED a refill.

While on our way back from Florida the van was jerking alot and not running smoothly. Yesterday, I dropped off the kids and the van was going very slowly. Right after I pick up my Zoloft I am headed toward Wal-mart and drive into the FamilyLife parking lot because van is REALLY acting up by this point.

I finally coasted into the parking space in neutral and call Mike on the cell through tears. He comes out to help me switch car seats and boys over to the car. Tells me to pay the balance at the doctor and call my friend to babysit so I don’t have to take all 4 with me. Thank God for Holly. He prays for me and our vehicles in the parking lot and I make it to Wal-mart before time to pick up Elizabeth and Luke.

I get to the doctor and am thinking, I will just go in, get an antibiotic and be on my way. ahhahahahaha… I am in the patient room and looking at the brochures on the wall. Not a good thing for someone to do who hasn’t had a quiet/prayer time in over a week and having 5 day Zoloft withdraws! By the time Dr.Felton got into the room I had diagnosed myself with heart disease, skin cancer, and menopause, yes, menopause. Anyway, back to the symptoms at hand….allergy symptoms began when I was taking care of extra pets for a friend (she has cats, which I am +4 allergic to)and progressively got worse. I came out with a steroid shot in the right hip, a prescription strength sudafed, and a script for an antibiotic if it gets worse. Worse? How can it get worse? I have been blowing green and yellow snot out for over a week, have had itchy, watery eyes along with headache and cough! Anyway, the steroid has been extremely helpful and am feeling better today.

As for the van…NOT GOOD….the transmission must be completely rebuilt……

We are suppose to leave a week from Thursday for Indiana. I am trusting the LORD for His provision. We have been looking forward to this trip about as much as we were the beach.

Know anyone who would like to donate a year 2000 or newer van or Suburban? If donated through church or Campus Crusade for a receipt it is tax deductible!
