Drama, thy name is EMILY

Okay, so I was all excited about this week. Could not be happier. I had a news resolution going on with supportive people (thanks Mindy for inviting me!) I was getting all my work outs in for my goal this month. I actually called a friend and had a great talk wit her (thanks Bri! because if you know me, you will know that I usually never call anyone..nope, not even family. It's a rarity. I don't know why...I just never call anyone!) and I had amazing comments posted on my blog..(thanks to you gals who read this little bit of me!) Things were looking, up, up, Up...and then yesterday happened. Let's see, shall I run through my day?

*woke up to the little man poking me in the and saying "ba, ba" a lot.
*got the boys ready headed out the door..forgot that L had a play date..again.
*while doing the Thursday errands, I noticed that my left side of my chest was feeling tight..shrug.
*started thinking more about my chest because it was not getting any better..started thinking immediately about what would happen if this chest thing was more than just a breathing problem..
*got to good old Wally-world (read the sarcasm..hate that place sometimes) get to the check out, super busy, was told to go to aisle 5, it was free. Not so, old Lady was there, demanding that they give her cash back from her check and stood there arguing over 5 cents. YEP, five cents! E tried to climb out of the cart..crying loudly that everything is "scary" and saying "DOWN" a lot. L trying to push buttons on the credit card scanner..
*come home, put away groceries, turn around E has dumped sugar all over the floor, and was sticking his hand in the shortening..
*chest still hurting, call the DR and made an appointment after scaring myself silly with all the articles online about chest pains..that was fun.
*Call my Dad in tears, freaking out, because it dawns on me that I have three grandparents who all had heart problems, two of which had surgery...really did not need the freak out..
*woke up this morning, noticed that the kids had managed to mess up the entire house while I was sleeping in, in fifteen minutes!
*turn around E is on top of my counter trying to get a piece of "dandy"
*go to make cupcakes, forgot to buy cocoa, run to dreaded Wally again..
*E has found his way back on to the counter...AGAIN
*E playing outside thinks it would be great to go down the slide while his brother is trying to climb up the slide..
*Me worried about my heart, again.
*go to the Docs, late as usual. Takes an EKG, takes an x-ray, waiting around for two hours.
*given Asthma meds to see if I just have a bronchiolitis thing..not helping me one micro second..
*told to schedule a echo cardiogram for next week, just in case it is not asthma..
oh yes, and the kicker, finding out that the good old kicker has enlarged about 50 % than where it should be. But everything else about the heart seems to be oookkaayy. Possibly.
*worried, and stressed.

See, lovely two days to end my week. So, I don't know if I'll accomplish my work out goals this month, at least not until I find out what is going on...
