Awake?!

I know, I am a huge slacker lately...but I am going on wwek 10 now of working all 3 shifts in a single week! This working 8am-4pm one day, 4pm-12am another, and 12am-8am another...my body is HATING me right now. Which, in order to stay awake right now, I decided that posting a blog with random happenings would be nice! Or, I could sit here and think about getting off of work at 8am and dragging myself home for a couple hours of sleep before having to return to work at 4pm! Ahh...the joys of being the manager and being short 2 people...
Emily is doing amazing. We went to her follow up appt and the doctor said that he will not be doing surgery because the health insurance we have will more than likely deny the surgery due to the fact that she has never had tonsillitis (sp?) and the insurance company wouldn't see a reason to remove them. I am overjoyed that she doesn't have to have surgery, however, I am worried that she will just keep having chronic sinus infections. So far, she has been off of the antibiotics for 2 weeks, and fingers crossed, we haven't had any issues. Lets hope that luck is still on our side.
She is loving school. She hated spring break! She wanted to go back to school so badly. Luckily, one day at Walmart, we ran into her teacher and that made her day! I am not sure if I said this in one of my last posts, but she is starting to teach herself how to count backwards, she is learning our address, which she almost has down, learning how to spell more and more words, and is overall just doing great. She is quite the inquisitive one...she has to know everything. She is like a little sponge...she wants to absorb so much knowledge.
As for me...well, working crazy hours and still trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. The week after spring break, I went to visit my good friend in Hillsboro overnight one night. This is the very first time I have left Emily overnight...other than when I was in the hospital for a few days back in 2007. I missed her so much, but it was so nice to be able to have some time for me. We didn't do anything special, just went out to dinner at McMinnamins (Sp?), which their food is AMAZING! It was exactly what I needed though...a night to just get away.
Oh, and I am officially down 45 lbs since I started dieting in February. Now if I could just get onto a regular workout schedule, I would be doing amazing I am sure.
