Vacation starts today.

 

Child #1 and 2, up far too early on a day when there is no school. 

Well, its the day before my Mom arrives and there is much to do.  I have to plan and shop a 7 day menu, buy last minute gifts, and of course CLEAN.  My kids are just thrilled about that last one, hehe.

The ground was frozen and frosty this am.  It will only be in the 40-50's this next week so I doubt we'll be having any X-Mas snow. (Secretly I'm glad, I hate snow.)

Anyway, I have to get going. Tata.

7:07 pm

It was a friggin long day.  My feet hurt. I visited with my PCP, the amazing Doctor Khalid.....she's an Indian princess, hehe. She hadnt seen me since before the surgery so she just went on and on about how she couldnt believe it was me.  I blushed but boy is it nice to hear. So, she puts some referrals in the computer for me so that I can go see my GBS doc and my Urologist.  I ask her to run a panel on me since it will be a month or so till I can get in to see the GBS guy.  I'm worrying about my vitamin/iron/etc levels so this is basically just to calm my nerves. She says sure and I go to the lab.  They will fax a copy of the results to the GBS guy as well so they dont stick me again.  After that I went to the PX since I was on base and without kids (ahhhhhhhh).  Wandered around, picked up a couple of things, it was very relaxing. But then the guilt started seeping in of leaving Joe alone with Child 1&2.  Dammit.  I drive home only to find that they are pulling out and he takes them with him anyway. Yay. I sit and watch the Borne Ultimatum while I eat my soup and salad.  Then laundry, cleaning, cooking and basic house maintenance. I just finished the Menu and was told by Joe I need to spend HALF as much as I usually do on groceries. Back to the Menu, cutting items and wondering how many days in a row I can serve Hamb. Helper.  And as I sit here I can smell........shit. Yep. Guess who has dropped a load.......time to go change a diaper. Yay for me.
