Finally me and Rob registered to vote, on the very last day, yup, that's us, procrastinators!! *LOL* So now I'm on the fence, Rob know's who he is voting for, however I am still on the fence. This is why I am closely watching the debates. I have only voted 1 time in my life and it was to keep Bush OUT!! Apparently my vote didn't work!! I never cared until I had children, now I care. Any opinions out there??
So it's tuesday the 7th of October, for those of you who don't know, I have been trying to figure out and solve a horrible back pain I have been having upwards of a year. It's very frustrating to me because it took 8 years for dr's to come to a conclusion as to why I was having dizzy spells (vertigo) which I am still having by the way. So I am going to a wonderful Dr., his name is Todd Cevene, he owns a care clinic that deals mainly with pain management. He is putting so much time and thought into finding out where this pain is coming from, he is actually writing off my copayments thru insurance because I have to see him 3 to 4 times per week and he is concerned. God love him, so I go to physical therapy 3 times per week, I do workouts and stretches to try and manipulate my spine, I have nerve pulse therapy 3 times a week which is basically stickers and wires stuck all over my back that vibrate and pulse for about a half hour. Then I am attached to what the girls there call "The Torture Table", this lovely device is velcrowed around my waist and hips with a strap running between my legs hooked to a spindle of sorts, this device pulls my spine straight one inch at a time for about 20 minutes, NOT FUN!!!! I am literally in tears by the end of this one. Then I go over to the other side of the room for a massage, I know what your thinking, how lovely, a massage, NO! This is a DEEP tissue massage on my lower back and the back of my thighs, YOUCH!!
Well this morning, which was not one of my therapy days, I went to the office to see the neurologist who only comes on tuesdays to do nerve testing, if you haven't had this done before and someone says they would like you to have it done, run the other way!! I was laying on a table in a gown for an hour which in itself hurts my back enough, then this little phillipino Dr. , Dr. Parks, lovely little old man, hurt the hell outta me!! He basically gave me charley horses with some wires taped to my legs and took ultrasounds to measure the length of my nerves, did the same to my back, then proceeded to stick needle in my muscles and take ultrasounds of them to make sure my muscles and nerves are working properly, which he gave me an A+ but sent me home with about 8 charley horses and 20 new holes in my legs and back. This was my day....
On a happy note, I lost 6 more pounds!!!! YIPPY!!!!
Nothing really to note about the girls, Jocelyn is in the middle of reading "The Hobbitt", I went to parent conferances yesterday and she's a perfect student, and Delia still refuses to use the potty, I will keep you all posted.

P.s..... there's a very small possibility we will be adding another furball to our clan, I inquired about a 1 year old female purebread Alaskan Malimute this morning, she's beautiful!!!! Of course this is the dog of Rob's dreams.... keep your fingers crossed:)
