ouch... what a day!

so today i went to get some blood taken and man they took a lot! they are checking for everything under the sun on me which is good. every year i go for my yearly physical but not my blood. i am such a wimp (bad experiences with needles - had to be hypnotized/relaxation therapy for them). last time i had a needle was when i had my daughter 5 years ago. anyways, went today and the lady was awesome! didn't really feel it. i should have my results next week. one thing they are really checking is my thyroid and they are extensively looking for diabetes. they are looking at everything but my syptoms seemed to send off trigger signs to the doctor i went to. i have been telling my g.p. the problems over the last year and they shrug it off. my regular g.p. is on holidays, so i saw her replacement while she is away and thank goodness i did or i don't think i would have went for tests. i am not totally worried yet. i m trying not to think about it actually. i will deal with it when i find out. i just want to know why i have been feeling the way i have been. okay...on to a gripe i had today.....nice post hey? i went with my friend lisa to get our passports renewed all the way down to canada place (which is real fun...nice long wait...2 hours). i have not been able to find mine or the kids' birth certificates since we moved in december. well, i had our passports already and you would think that would be okay as we had to have birth certificates for those ones and it clearly states we were all born in alberta....but "no". so, after waiting for 2 hours, i had to go to the registry office and order new birth certificates. another $91 later. i find out the kids' birth certificates will be to me in 3-5 days but they are not the little ones but the big ones because they need those for passports (didn't before), now they won't fit in my wallet. oh....... i find out mine won't be to me for a while as back in 1978 when my mom (7 years late i might add), requested my birth certificate, vital statistics spelled my middle name wrong. they left an "n" off one of my middle names. i don't know how that happened as every certificate or license i have ever got spelled my name correctly. so now, once i get the form back, i have to take it to a commissioner of oaths and have them sign that it is really how i spell my name and then mail it back so i can then go back to canada place and apply for passports again! it is starting to make me not want to travel! on a happy note! it is my son's 8th birthday this weekend and i need some ideas for halloween crafts or games. anything good you can come up with besides boobbing for apples would be great! thanks and have a great weekend!
