Saturday

in Wal-Mart I'd rather put a stick in my eye! Sing the title and that first line to the tune of Chicago's Saturday in the Park and you got musical comedy!

The boy needs a new pair of tennies and we need stuff for scouts and birthday presents for two of their friends and a new furnace air filter, et, etc. THIS is the stuff of my shopping trips. Pathetic, eh? Not exactly the stuff of which blogs are written! Then next week the rest of our tax refund is going to the dentist. I know, I know. I'm causing envy amongst you all!

Due to recent events I was considering seeing if I could cancel my flight to Kansas and get a refund on my plane ticket. It must have been weighing on my mind more than I realized because last night I had a dream that I just didn't go to the airport and it was an hour after my flight left before anyone realized I was supposed to be there. Then they were trying to hurry me to the airport and I didn't have anything packed. I saw people throwing scrapping supplies I don't even own into a bag in my dream. I was telling Mark about it this morning. He told me I was going and to not worry about money. I asked him....Mary knows the question!....."Are you new?" He's cute when he's trying to tell me what to do! lol

Looks like the rest of the family is almost ready to go. Off to face the teeming masses at a Saturday morning Walmart! (shudder!)

questions of the day

1. Why is it in a house with 2 1/2 baths and 4 people I found myself putting new toilet paper on the roll in all bathrooms this morning? The odds say I should have only had to maybe change one. 3 toilet paper rolls--4 people--only ONE person should have been spared that chore not THREE!

2. How is it I did three loads of laundry yesterday and the hamper is already full today?

3. Why is my husband is the one who skipped the last dental cleaning appointment before we moved while I went to mine but I'M the one who was told she has a new cavity today? It's becoming apparent to me that I should never go to Vegas because the odds are definitely NOT in my favor!

4. How can I be on antibiotics for 3 1/2 days and still feel like crapola? I guess it's upgraded crapola but still not where I'd like to be at this point.

These are the questions weighing on my mind this afternoon. Jack Handy and his Deep Thoughts don't have anything on me!

I gave in

After almost two weeks of feeling cruddy and waking up this morning in pain and feeling like trying to think was like pulling cotton balls out of my head I gave in and called the doctor. What started out as a viral infection as now become a sinus infection so now I have an antibiotic and some cough syrup with codeine in it so I can sleep once again! I miss sleep! I've had a non-stop headache for several days that the doctor said is probably from a culmination of little sleep, coughing and packed sinuses. Hopefully soon this will all be just an ugly painful memory!

It was a scouting activity filled week-end. Saturday afternoon was Robbie's Blue and Gold Banquet and right after that was Katie's Father/Daughter Dance. Yesterday Robbie's den went bowling while Katie was hawking Girl Scout cookies at a local grocery store with other girls from her troop. Busy, busy, busy!

Robbie and Mark with Robbie's patch that I can't remember the name of!

Mark and Katie before the dance. The dress had skinny straps and Katie wouldn't let me take a picture of her without the wrap that we bought separately on! Let's hope she keeps that modesty as she moves into the teen years! I don't think the picture does her or the dress justice. She was very cute that night!

This is the life

Aren't there days you'd like to have a life like this?!

I took this last week (we haven't seen much sun this week). Daisy and Belle worshipping the sun. It's their "downward dog" pose! heehee

Test update

I got a copy of the results of the boy's blood tests in the mail today. Everything is within normal limits except for a "very mild low creatinine level". Which according to the doctor means his muscle mass is less than it should be but she said that's due to the weight loss. So maybe not a definitive answer as to why he's losing weight but we were thankfully able to rule out some possible reasons! Hallelujah!

Here comes the snow again

You have to sing the title like Annie Lennox singing "Here comes the rain again"! We had a couple of days in the 40s but a cold front is coming through this afternoon. It's a rainy gloomy day and that's supposed to turn into snow. Thankfully it's not supposed to amount to much.

I still have the crud. I've talked to some people including the pharmacist assistant at CVS and apparently this garbage can last up to two weeks and it's not uncommon to feel better and then relapse. All I know is it better be gone by the time I head to Wichita for my cropping week-end! Oh my, I leave three weeks from tomorrow!? I need to get some sleep so I can see and think well enough to pack my scrapping supplies! Clothes are easy, it's the scrapping stuff I'll have trouble deciding upon!

I can't think of anything worth blogging about. Maybe tomorrow?

Happy Anniversary to us!

Mark and I have been married 17 years today! Yay us!

I'm still sick so I'm not sure what, if anything, we may do today to celebrate. But we'll be together...enjoying it one moment and driving one another crazy the next...and I don't think either of us would have it any other way!
