Seriously???

Their are some things that happen in life that leave you dumbfounded, and the only thing you can mutter is REALLY??? SERIOUSLY???? I've had a few of those experiences lately.

On Saturday the kids were riding their bikes in my Dad's circle. A car had pulled into the driveway of a house that was for sale. The couple never got out of their car, and the kids continued to ride around. Well the realtor never showed up so the couple decided to leave. The problem with this was they never checked behind the car before they backed out. At the same time Kade lost momentum when pedaling his bike and just happened to stop RIGHT BEHIND THE CAR!!!! Their was yelling and screaming for the car to stop or for Kade to hurry and get out of the way. Neither of them noticed the screaming. A second later something happened and Kade fell off his bike and when he did he happened to roll out of the way. CRUNCH! The car had kept going and totally ran over the bike and not my little boy. In just a matter of seconds so much could have changed in our lives if he wouldn't have fallen off the bike. The only thing that was running through my mind was SERIOUSLY did that just happen??

For approximately the last 2 years I have been suffering from major headaches/migraines and also SEVERE stomach aches. I have gone from doctor to doctor trying to figure this out. I have been on multiple medications and none have worked. I have had ultrasounds, blood tests, a hyda scan, a MRI, a CAT scan, and also a colonoscopy. All came back normal. I was recently referred to a Neurologist over at Jordan Valley. When I called to make the appt. the receptionist told me the doctor had hurt his back and was out on leave but I could make an appt. with the doctor who was filling in for him. I went ahead and did this but I was a little apprehensive about going through another appt and not getting any results. The day came for my appt. when I got to meet with this "fill in" doctor. The whole appt. ended up being a total joke. The guy seriously didn't know what he was talking about. He was more concerned with the problems I was having with my stomach then with my head. I was watching the clock just waiting for this appt to get over with and I was just going to chalk it up to another failure. At the very end of the appt he happened to ask me if my neck was tense. I replied that I couldn't even move my neck to look up. He felt it a little and asked me if I wanted to try a muscle relaxer. I was apprehensive because I thought anything coming from this guy isn't going to work. Well I am happy to say that I filled the prescription and I havn't had a headache in about 2 weeks!!!! My quality of life has been horrible because I hurt so bad everyday and all I needed was a muscle relaxer??? SERIOUSLY??? Couldn't one of the other doctors I went to figure this out? Why did it have to be figured out by "Dr. I don't know what I'm doing?"

Now on to my stomach. After so many tests and appointments the doctor came to the conclusion that I have an intolerance for dairy products. SERIOUSLY is that all???? Why in the world did I need to go through all the above procedures for them to figure out I couldn't tolerate dairy? So in the end he told me cut out ALL dairy products and increase the fiber in my diet. This pretty much leaves me nothing available to eat. I have been cheating a little, I can't fully cut out cookies, donuts, cake, cheese, bread, and ice cream. I mean who can really do that?

SERIOUSLY what makes soccer so important that we NEED to play in severe storms? Every single Saturday has had miserable weather and yet nobody will cancel the stupid game. Saturday Brayden's team played in a HUGE rain storm. Last Saturday they played up in Park City where the temp was about 30 degrees and pouring rain. And they even played one Saturday during a snow storm. They were soaking wet after playing in a foot of snow. Maybe we are in the wrong sport. If I remember correctly they will cancel Baseball even if it's drizzling.

And on a happier note...Today was the first day that my kids have been off-track. They slept til 9:30 this morning. When they woke me up I thought, Did they SERIOUSLY sleep that long? They never sleep past 7:30 or 8. It has made for a very pleasant day. I'm happy and they are happy (I haven't even had to put out one fight today!!!!) I hope this is a good sign for their off track break.

I could go on and on about SERIOUSLY like:
Do I SERIOUSLY have this much laundry to do?
Are my kids SERIOUSLY playing so well together?
SERIOUSLY, I need a vacation!
Is it SERIOUSLY about time for SYTYCD to start?
Is it SERIOUSLY time for all the season finales?
I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to May (Mother's Day and my birthday.)
SERIOUSLY did I just eat 5 cookies when I'm not even supposed to have one?
SERIOUSLY how much weight have I gained in the last 3 weeks?
Did I SERIOUSLY just admit to that?

How many times in one day do you question, SERIOUSLY???
