overwhelmed

Why is it when there is so much to do, nothing gets done? i have lists stretching miles it feels like, and i would rather watch youtube videos (hm, not so great), work on PAF (much better), or sleep (the best)... unfortunately, youtube is winning on time spent category. so everyone can skip this post. (better yet, go watch youtube for me, so that i know it is in good hands). this is my way or trying to organize my life right now. jo has finished most of his testing. late last night tho I realized he has an appointment tomorrow, for which we were supposed to give him an enema (ew.... johns job) tonight. i do not know how i have dropped the ball on that one. we will be heading to kroger tonight. so he goes in at 130 tomorrow, and we are hoping that when they finish testing, they will be able to give us a more specific medication for him. the one he is on now is a general "catch all" for the wetting problems. it causes blurred vision and dry mouth. he always is kinda "crusty" around the mouth, i am def. ready to be done w/ the one he is on. there is no diabetes, no liver/kidney problems, but we are STILL waiting on the sonogram. it has been frustrating to me how slowly everything has been moving with this. i do like his doctor though why ANYONE would ever choose to become a urologist is totally beyond me. (John, not a choice, k??) the urologist believes that everything we have been struggling with is because he was premature (11 months younger then brother, 2-3 weeks early) he is tiny, and struggles with almost everything (except humor and rocking. he understands that better than ANYONE!)

overall tho, that is the best diagnosis we could have possibly asked for. we feel very blessed that if that is the case, then these are things he will grow out of.

ok, this week:

1 urologist appt. (in christiansburg)

1 dentist appt (me)

2 eye appts. (jo and M) (in Roanoke) ----- GUESS WHAT JODID ON TUESDAY... (grrr.) he was mad at his glasses because he was pushing on them while he was watching tv (the day i had my boys, + extras 2 that i usually have + 4 extras while mom went on photo shoot...) so i tried to adjust them so they wouldn't dig into his face, he was unhappy with what i did and came in a sec. later to tell me the lens fell out. when i took the glasses from him to fix them, i realized he had literally balled them up and snapped them in half on the part that holds the lens. they are luckily still covered under insurance....)
