More Crazy...

I was thinking yesterday of 'crazy' things and then my computer when into hibernation and some of the pictures on the slide show started.  I was struck with the realization that I might not be the only 'crazy' one.  Looking at the pictures of the kids it is easy to see that the apples don't fall from the trees (of their parents... not me... oh no... not me..). They start so young - the twins in their laying on the floor can't really move stage (how we miss that!!!) Trying to take a picture of the 3 of us - guess who the nutbar is here? It doesn't get better than trying to stuff a chocolate covered marshmallow in your mouth Looking with great anticipation as the ball goes down the lane.  They were like pros - funny stances and all I'd like to have big ears in this picture Aunti Jen The proof of weirdness is in the pudding This is how they are at home - Anthony is a laughing maniac and Blake, well, Blake always has his mouth op...

I'm not crazy...   At least... well... not that I'm aware of.  The strangest thing has happened over the last 2 weeks or so.  I can't get enough lemon.     The other night I even made the filling for lemon pie - just to eat it (not waiting till it had cooled and burned my tongue) and FORCED myself to make it last 3 nights. We looked it up on line and some people think that it is a definciency in Vitamin C or maybe even Magnesium (both of which I take regularly).   I just can't seem to get enough.  I'm drinking lemonade, eating lemon filled donuts, short of sitting and sucking on lemons I just can't get enough!!!   I'm really hoping that it is just because I'm too sweet and need to 'sour up' a bit.

The other day I realized that today is 1 year ago that my tremors started.  Christmas morning I was getting ready for church and my right hand was shaking.  I thought that maybe I was going to have a migraine, as sometimes my right arm would shake when a really bad one was coming, but nothing came of it.  I went to see the chiropractor, thinking that maybe I had pinched a nerve in my shoulder that was causing the tremor.  Even after a few visits it didn`t seem to be going away. As the days went by it started getting worse till it was going all the time.  I went to see my family doctor to get some prescriptions renewed (they had gotten wet in the flood) and she went into `high alert`mode and she had the student working with her that day do a full nuerological accessment and then did her own.  Two days later, with dear Betty Ann as my second set of ears and questions, I was in the nuerologist`s office (apparently my family doc had called in a fa...
