Ramblings

I paid off my student loan!! It feels great to have it gone. One less bill to worry about. Now to get the mortgage paid off...
************************************************
We got a flea market booth. It's at the same place we had one way back when. We quit doing it after Paxton was born. I am on a mission to declutter the house. Jody has stuff stacked everywhere, the kids have too many toys, and baby clothes have been piling up. This is a great way to get rid out it. The booth is 10' by 13' and rent is $100 a month. It so fun going to stock the booth so we can see what has sold. I only wish it was closer. It's in Cabot which is a 30ish minute drive from here.

It won't stop raining.

Now that I've weaned Sawyer and I'm feeling more like myself, I'm trying to wean off zoloft. I've done a lot of reading and apparently zoloft is near impossible to quit taking. The withdrawals are horrible and long-lasting. But I want to be able to think again. I feel like my head is in a fog all the time and my memory is horrible. I've already decreased my dose from 75 mg to 50 mg. I feel my anxiety creeping up especially in the evenings. The zoloft has never really helped my anxiety. In fact, I wonder if it has contributed to it. I'm hoping to search out some more natural ways to deal with these feelings. I just pray I can make it through the withdrawals first.
************************************************
I cleaned the kids' room today and took out most the toys and a lot of the books. I'm tired of it looking like a disaster area in there. I told them they can get some back when they take care of what they have. We'll see how that goes.
************************************************
Why did I have to discover Chain Rxn on facebook. Because I need another game to waste time on.
************************************************
Friday I have an appt with Paxton's case worker to go over his evaluations and make a plan of action. She asked if he was going to preschool in the fall and I told her no. She asked why and I told her because I homeschool Olivia and plan to homeschool him. She was amazed. I think it's funny that someone would be amazed that I want to be responsible for my child's education. I feel like that's what I signed up for when I became a parent.
************************************************
We are going to Missouri this weekend. My cousin is having a fish fry and invited the whole family to come. Sendai and I have been talking about going on a trip up there anyway to visit Poppa so this couldn't come at a better time. Jody is excited about going too. He already has all his junking plans lined out.
************************************************
My dad is in the hospital. He has a bad cold and couldn't get his asthma under control. It's times like these that I hate being so far away. I hope he gets better quickly. They are suppose to come the fish fry this weekend.
************************************************
I've been working on learning how to solve a Rubik cube. Sometimes it makes my brain hurt. I've just being using a little keychain cube that my sister has. I asked for a full size one for mother's day but someone didn't get the message.
************************************************
I have to get up early tomorrow to take FIL to the doctor. He is seeing a sleep specialist. Hopefully between all the doctors he is seeing and the tests they are running, they will figure out what is causing his migraines.
