I went to the doc last week with seriously high blood pressure. I was given an EKG because I was having some heart palpitations. The sticky things don't stick well to hairy legs, just for future reference. Then I had to go get an echo (ultrasound) to rule out any heart abnormalities or blockages. The echo itself was uncomfortable but the man who did it was quite interesting. I think my favorite part about him what that he was wearing a bolo tie. I havn't seen those since Royal Rangers. In fact, I think I used to wear one. Ha. Anyway, I digress. I'm now 50 years old probably because I'm taking medication to stabilize my blood pressure. The day after I started taking the meds I felt like a different person. I can do normal tasks again without feeling like I'm going to faint. The doctor said that all my anxiety was probably a result of the high blood pressure and not the other way around. The mystery is where exactly the high blood pressure has come from. I'm healthy and I've endured much more stress and never had a spike in my blood pressure before. I'll keep you posted on what's going on.
In other news, it's red ribbon week at school and the kids have been dressing funny all week. Kayley got in the top ten for the craziest hair on Tuesday and yesterday she won for all of first, second and third grade for having the best backwards and inside out clothes! Naturally my child would win, she's a weirdo.
Last weekend we had all the Battens together in one place. I met baby Ryan and he's the spitting image of Noah as a baby. The Batten kids are now 7, 7, 5, 2, 3 months and 2 months. There was some serious madness in our house that day. My dog did not appreciate Zoey pouring scoops of formula on her head. I also forgot how much that stuff stinks.
I'm very thankful that it's Friday. The tax extension deadline is Monday so it's like a mini tax season at work. So it's time to catch up on all the important things in life like Words With Friends, Hanging With Friends and spending some time with my family. Ahh, life is good!

Oh jeez. Will you be on the mess forever or is it supposed to resolve itself overtime? Im glad you're feeling better!
Good for, kayley!! Formula does stink. It's nasty.
We're hoping there are other options. For now, it's the meds.
Ha mess=meds. Way to decode.
I'm sorry you felt terrible but I am glad you felt immediate relief once you started taking the meds!
Pictures of Kayley's winning outfit and hair???
