The other thing is, Sarah, that my husband has snoring issues. He's worse at the beginning of the night, so it's better for me to sneak into bed when he's in deep sleep and not so prone to snoring.
Manda: You guys may have already tried this, but I wanted to recommend nasal strips for snoring. Shane keeps me in stock and puts one on my nose every night before bed (What Love!). He says it has really help with my snoring.
Ruth: I'll be praying for Greg and you both.
NicoleAUS: I have no advice but wanted to let you know I would be praying for your wisdom.

Oh, I could not live without nasal strips! Seriously, they are so helpful.
There's no news as of yet, but Nathan is asleep, and I'm just sitting here. I suppose I could go fold laundry, eh?

Another question from Nicole. She is wondering if her husband has low self esteem. She is wondering if he pushes away to get attention from her again. Like, if he pushes away in hopes she will chase after him so that he knows she does love her and he then feels better about himself.
NicoleCA, it really would be better if NicoleAU were to start a thread in marriage or relationships with her questions. This thread is for stay at home support, not one to give such extensive marriage advice.

Okay, so, the doctor says that appendicitis is the most likely answer to Greg's pain. He has ordered a cat scan to confirm, which should take a few hours. Since Greg says he's ok, my parents are going to head home. My dad has to fly to Canada tomorrow, as he does every Monday, but my mom can clear her slate and drive over here first thing tomorrow.
Also, BIL is 10 minutes away and also willing to help. It's entirely possible that Greg's surgery will be taking place at 4am or something, but we can only take things one hour at a time. I'm tired, but I don't know if I can sleep.
Greg does not want me hanging around a hospital waiting room for hours on end, even if other people could stay with Nathan, because I'm pregnant, need my rest and don't need to be exposed to a building filled with sick people.
So... we wait, and try to get some sleep. Yeah right.

Sarah, flea bombs could work. Close up the room as much as possible and remove all bedding and soft toys and stuff like that. Take the hose on a vacuum cleaner and suck all the corners of the floor and ceiling really good, and then suck up bug spray like spider spray. She doesn't want those spiders to come out of her vacuum, so the bug spray being sucked into the vacuum really important. Or, she has the canister kind, she can dump it out OUTSIDE. But, the deader the better. After she has done all that, then do the flea bomb, maybe even two, and put a towel under the door and close the window so that stuff stays nice a trapped in there. If she can get an exterminator in there every month, that really is the best bet. She shouldn't have to pay more than $40 a month with a yearly contract. ONLY the monthly service will keep the spiders away, not quarterly or every other month.
Speaking of scary spider stories...my neighbor got bit by one in his house (this is neighbor we share a wall with) and was in the hospital for a week and half and had to have a chunk of his arm removed. As soon as Robert heard that, he made me and the kids leave and sprayed the heck outta our house. The poor guy doesn't have health insurance, so that is going to be a terrible bill. I brought him some casserole since his arm is all casted up. I feel bad for him.

I feel a little better. Greg's brother is stopping by here in a minute to fetch a bag I packed for Greg, then he's going to stay for a while with Greg at the hospital. Greg will enjoy having his brother there, even at this time of night.

Aw Ruth, I hope you can sleep some tonight and that all goes well with your husband.
We have quarterly pest control service and it does keep our spiders at bay. We pay $54/quarter and it's worth every penny!

Ruth, hope everything goes well with your hubby's appendix removal.
No kidding, Crystal. Hey would you mind asking your exterminator what they use on your place next time they come. Robert and his boss are always trying to use the best products to use, and if only quarterly service is keeping your spiders away, that's some good stuff.

Ruth, praying for you and Greg.
NicAus, praying for you sweetie.
And NicCan, how much of a star are you? Bless you for keeping us in the loop on NicAus. So good of you. 
Sarah, I hope you are feeling better today hon. It must be so hard to be ill when you've kiddies to attend to - I find it difficult teaching when I'm ill - as much as I love the kiddibuns, when I've got flu or similar I just want to hide in the reading corner.
Another week kicks off here - and I woke up before the alarm! Oh, and thank you to all of you who have agreed to help with my classes post project - can't wait to see their little faces when it starts arriving.
Last but not least....could I make a quick request, please? This time of year is a sad one for me. If you've room for a prayer, could you remember me, please. It's a little tough just now.

I'll certainly be praying for you, Claire.
How are you today Sarah and Nicole (AUS)?
Well, despite the doctor's initial hypothesis, the tests could find nothing wrong with Greg. Nada. Greg is resting at home now, he just got home 30 minutes ago. He's pulled a muscle before, and he said this didn't feel anything like that, and he did have nausea, which made everyone worried, too.
But he seemed relieved he got checked out, even if the pain remains. He said with a toddler and a baby on the way, he doesn't want to mess around with his own health, especially when the advise nurse told him to check into the ER.
They would like for him to follow up with a specialist I cannot spell, but he'll call Kaiser later and talk to them about the ER docs recommendation. I am very tired. I only got a few hours sleep. Between 4am phone calls and a fussy Nathan and pregnancy.... well, we're all going to take it easy today.

Manda, that is a great idea! I have never thought of that, but he would love it! I am sure I would have a flood of water to clean up afterward as he is a splasher, but it is just water. I will try that with him today and let you know how it goes. Guess I should go do the dishes so he can play later. Thanks again!
