news about life

So today I went to get all my bloodwork done and to get my heart monitor. I didn't really tell a lot of people about it cuz I don't want people to think it's all in my head. But for the last couple weeks, I've been having heart palpitations that have been scaring the you know what outta me. They feel like a panic attack but much shorter...I've had panic attacks in the past and they last for quite a while (like 20 or 30 minutes). These just last for about 4-5 seconds, then I get the shakes. Problem is they will come about every 10 minutes in the evening until I go to bed. Heart disease runs on both sides of my family so I just got worried and said something to the doctor. Dr. asked if I had any new stress in my life and I told her that I started working full time and that I have been watching the neighbor girls after school for about 3 1/2 hours. She just chuckled and said "oh just a little bit of stress". So they did all my bloodwork to check my thyroid (that could be the cause) my cholesterol, my potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron... all that good stuff. And she put me on this heart monitor for the next 30 days. If all of that comes back ok then she says it is panic attacks and we can go from there.
But anyway, Jade started basketball this week and let me tell you it is actually quite comical to watch fourth grade girls try to complete plays, bless her heart she tries so hard. Caleb says she's not cut out for bball though cuz when she bumped into an opponent the other night, she said sorry! He just was amazed, but not me, she cares like that. Sassy has a UTI and we are dealing with that, but she handled it like a trooper. She has gotten into the habit of going garage saling though and loves to buy other people's junk...but she uses her own money, so we let her. Zoey is finally getting rid of her rash, Dr. decided it was flea bites, so we sprayed and haven't seen any new bumps come up since. She is so stinking cute with her curls and all but her middle teeth in. But man is she onery! Well I think that's about all, I just wanted to update everyone, since I hadn't blogged in a while.
