My sister is heading for high ground

My sister is running from the hurricane and I hope her home is safe. She's spent so much time working on it and it would be bad if it got hit.
My neighbors had a major water leak and are dealing with the after effects. They are really nice people who are taking the troubles in stride.
The football opener for University of Hawaii was not pretty. Florida pretty much blew it out. We had to get up super early to prepare for the game. It started at 6:30 am our time.

Weird Panic Attack

I had a panic attack while driving.  I have had them before while driving but this one was different.  Afterwards I was past the turn that I had needed to take and was all confused about how I got to where I was.  I still can't figure out how I got to the place that I was.  So basically I was driving without a clue.  Luckily I was OK and not too far off course so I just turned around and came home which was my destination anyway. 

I can tell anybody what causes the attacks because I don't know.  Sometimes it's just a feeling or pattern that happens like a deja-vu thing or just the feeling of the pattern or shape.  It's not like I'm terrified of something and it happens.  Too much xanax causes me to be tired.  I'm afraid that if I don't have a panic attack that everything will explode into a major depression like before.  I feel like it's a release valve to keep my emotions in check somewhat.  So as much as I hate them, I'm also afraid of not having any ever again.   I couldn't stand the downward pull of a major depression again.  I've had too many of those to want to live that way.  It's not fair to the people around me.

Feeling the loss

I am finding myself thinking of my old friend Rhonda who sadly passed away recently after being very ill. She was paralyzed in an accident several years ago and the resulting health problems took their toll. She always showed her faith in the positive and would've said at least she had more time with her kids. She was truly a special person with a heart as big as the world. She will be missed in places across the country because she touched many people's lives.

trying to brave it out

I told Matthew that I was throwing away all of his bottles and he can only have cups now. He had a fit for about 15 minutes and then moved on. He won't drink from one of his sippy cups yet but I hope perseverance will prevail. He had to drink out of a cup with a straw to drink milk the other day and once he realized it wasn't so bad he downed it all. Have to do this because all he wants to do is drink milk all day and not eat. He'll drink juice out of a sippy just fine. He hangs on to a blanket too. He is interested in learning his abc's and has memorized some of them. He's fussing now for more bottle. I hope he gives up easy. LOL

coolest thing

I have this program on my BB that can get updates from blogs.  You can add your faves.  I'm getting my sisters and my own just for kicks.  Still playing around and adding free programs and learning how to delete straight from the phone.  Using shortcuts to do stuff.  Love the camera part...my razor one was junk.  I love being able to text my hubby for stuff instead of calling him at work.  One night I went to sleep.  And I had my phone by me.  When it beeped with a new email it woke me up. Couldn't sleep then for 2 or 3 hours.  Won't do that again.  LOL.

Rear ended yet again

We were coming home from WalMart and got rear-ended at a dead stop. It was just a jolt and I didn't get out to see the damage. It appears that I have more scratches on my car now than I had before. The last time it happened was at about the same place and the person just took off. This time he got out and fixed his licensce plate and said my car was fine. Ha Ha. Matthew was sleeping when this happened and stayed asleep.

He'll be 2 and 1/2 tomorrow

Swap Meet cont'd

don't you hate when you push the wrong button and send before you're ready.

The swap meet was boring because there were 2 events going on at the stadium and it was hard to get in there and three times as hard to get out of there.

I was looking for cell phone stuff but didn't find anything that would work for what I want. I got away kind of cheap meaning I didn't spend much at all. Nothing there I couldn't live without.

I decided to add texting programs onto our phones because Syd is enjoying texting. He brought up some good points about it. I can text him that I need something so he'll get it before he leaves work. Doesn't mean he won't forget but there's always hope. I started out kind of basic and if we use a lot of text messages then we'll upgrade to unlimited.

tomorrow is a golf day for him ....boo hoo.

I found this really cool free program to make your own ringtones. I just did a web search and used it. It was real easy.

first game for Blackberry

I got a game today and thought something was wrong because I couldn't get it to install.  I think I unzipped the wrong part of the file because when I did it again I was able to install it.  It's Bookworm which is one of my favorite games.

 

I woke up with a real sore hand.  I either slept wrong or got Blackberryitis.  LOL.  Syd used his this morning to IM to get coffee.  It's good for when you got a 3 level house like we do. 

 

No school today due to state holiday.  I hung around the house all day because my FIL hasn't been feeling the greatest.  Better then worrying about him.  Plus I have the munchies today.  Too much stuff that isn't good for me.  I'm craving carrot cake but don't want to go get it. 

 

I took a survey and made $3.00 on PayPal.  So I'll have to check out some stuff on EBay.

Blackberry crumbs

I got most of my ringtones back without having to repay. I called TMobile to let them know what happened and they sent me all of them but one. I don't know if they forgot that one or what. I'm trying to find out what micro card would work because I have an extra one. I just don't want to screw it up again. It's a pain in the ass to redo everything. I need a Dummies book to learn what I can do.

Blackberry Problem

I had to take it back cause I broke the back cover. Not too good. I'm not super strong or anything.
Plus I missed my doctor's appointment cause Syd was late coming home from golf. It's not the first time he came home really late and messed up something I needed to do. Some how I always get pushed to the side. Sucks but it's minor compared to how bad some people have it. Guess I worried about the appointment for nothing.

New Learning curve

Well we got Blackberry Curves and I gotta learn how to use them.  Hence the new learning curve or learning a new Curve.  I still love my IPod Touch but couldn't see getting one of the IPhones too.  Can't have everything. 

Jake is super jealous and I'm going to get him Soul Caliber IV to make him happier.  I was going to wait until the end of the month but he's been doing really good at reading for 1 hour every night. So off to the mall I go.

Probably will stop at Old Navy and the bookstore too.

Still dreading that appointment tomorrow.

Upcoming Dr's appt

I have my psychiatrist appointment in 2 days and I dread it. Every time I have an appointment I stress about it for days. I hate spending an hour in there talking about how things are. I still feel like no one believes that I have problems. It is paralyzing for me to do things or try new things. I worry constantly and am anxious most of the time. Little things can set off my depression and stress. I am functioning in life but only barely. I suffer from the shoulda's but you can't go back and change things. My meds make me sleepy and my baby has to beat on me to try to get my attention when I'm nodding off. If things were different I'd spend more time with him developing his learning. If I weren't so tired.....that's all I say and feel.

New Friends

We met the nicest people last night.  Syd invited the doctor from work over and his wife.  They are originally from Washington state and are super nice and down-to-earth.  We watched the Olympics and ate grilled steak.  The Dr. -Ron- even drank Coors Light.  I guess being from WA he would.  Sometimes I'm so surrounded by Heineken drinkers that it's not funny. 

 

Matt is still getting over being sick and went to sleep early which cut out my entertaining at an early hour.  I tried to leave him asleep by himself but he woke up when he realized he was alone. 

Our neighbors from across the street came over too but I didn't get to spend much time with them. 

We want to have them over again and hope to do so. 

 

I can't believe that Bernie Mac passed away.  He was only 50.  I got a wicked reminder of my upcoming birthday at Savers.  They put all their Halloween stuff out already.  I'll be 46 when this one rolls around.  that's about the same age my mom was when I came to see my sister graduate.  Somehow she seemed older.  I guess 4 kids would do that.  She was only 16 when she had me.  Watch out to Britney Spears sister.  My kids are 11 and 2 1/2 so maybe that's why I don't feel old.  I can't believe that when you go to buy alcohol it says they ID under 40 years old.  I haven't touched up my hair lately so I haven't been carded...lol.

Blackberry Curve

I was talking to the guy at T-Mobile/Costco  about phones.  He was trying to get me to get the Blackberry and the internet/e-mail pkg as an add-on to our phones now.  It would mean that I could be considered a new customer and not an upgrade so I'd save $200 on the phone.  I'd pay activation but get $50 back as a rebate.  Syd could get a slider phone for a 1 penny as an upgrade.  We'd downgrade our plan since we don't call a lot.  I'd have to give out my new cell number and then cancel the old phone when I'm ready in about 6 weeks. 

 

This was making my head hurt or it was just Costco.  Plus I have to get Syd's ok anyway.

Been checking out phones

Our contract is up soon for T-mobile and we can get phone upgrades.  I'm considering a Blackberry now. 

I don't think I'll do the I-phone thing because the plan would cost too much plus I already have an I-Touch.

Syd and Jake hardly use their phones so it'll probably be just me upgrading unless Syd decides he needs a cool new gadget too.  I want more internet on my phone.  I believe everything should be wi-fi and wi-fi should be free everywhere.  Maybe in the future.

Everyone's sick

Syd started it all by coming down with bronchitis.  He missed 2 days of work and coughed most of the night.  Now Matthew has a fever too and is coughing.  I haven't slept much because of the 2 of them.  Jake is ok now and hopefully won't get sick.  I'd hate for him to miss school since it just started. 

Yesterday we helped chop up coconut tree parts.  The tree had been cut down and the green waste trash pickup wouldn't take it because it wasn't cut up.  It wasn't our tree but good neighbors do good things.  So I'm sore in funny places today and even got a little bit of sun too.  Our neighbors bought Chinese food to thank us and it sure filled me up. 

I keep expecting Jake to bring home choke homework but so far it's been not so bad.  No reading for 50 minutes a night yet.  They have a reading program that rewards them with a movie but I think they read in a study hall type of setting.  The good news is that he likes Middle School.

My sister sent me a pic of gas below $4.00 a gallon.  It's $4.40 here so no long drives or just idling in the car with the a/c on.  We're usually in the top 10 highest gas prices in the nation here.

Panic attacks continue

yesterday was horrible for panic attacks and they continue...imagine feeling your worst fear and dread over nothing for no reason...then a lingering feeling of dread...sure prescriptions help but make me drowsy...I can't be nodding off when I'm watching my toddler...caffeine helps and hurts at the same time...picks me up but wires me too which is not a good thing when you already have problems

Wow I feel so hi-tech

I have a hit counter now...how hi-tech is that...my sister is giving me suggestions on how to do this...today is just a lazy Sunday...gotta do laundry so my boy has uniform shirts for middle school...we usually go out for lunch on Sundays too but we'll see if that happens or not...last night was a nice night of a combined cookout with our neighbors and watching Keiki Hula on tv...it was even in hi-def...amazing for a local program...you could really see the hand movements, colors, and all the beautiful flowers...

hanging by a thread

we had a gift of a 12 pack of free beer...shared with the neighbors last night...drank 1 or 2 too many...pizza is the cure-all for hangovers....even if it's frozen
