I hate yard sales

Actually, I love them when someone ELSE is having one.

We are in the midst of a 2 day sale. I just love the fun. People trying to bargain you down from that big ol' dollar you have something priced at. Hubby invariably getting an injury. The hauling in, the hauling out.

The fact that everything seems to multiply so that you have just as much left at the end...................

Acknowledging the elephant.

There seems to be one in my living room. I try not to talk about it with too many people. However, it has been 4 solid, non cheating days..................so the truth must out.

I am now a non-smoker. Sigh...............I said it. I will never go back, as these 4 days have been rather like a strange 60's experience...........................one I do not want to repeat.

Maybe in another day or so I can actually teach the kids something. Right now my IQ is still about 20.

The Good, the Bad and the Innie.

Great news! B Finally gets to go to hs group for a while tomorrow. She can only stay part time, but can begin playing a bit!

Bad news, we are going to the park with the creek that all the kids will want to jump into. B is not permitted into untreated water for another 5 weeks.

Pooey!

Happy weekend.........bluh.

Hubby on duty all 3 days of this lovely holiday weekend. I spent the time weeding the *wildflowers*, otherwise knows as the pestilance, out of one of the garden beds.

We are also enjoying our Stargate SG-1 marathon. B has a couple more days before she allowed to do anything remotely fun, such as stretch, jump, run, etc. I am having a heck of a time keeping her still, especially since it was so beautiful yesterday. She is awfully happy with her new innie though;)

J found the new glasses, so I guess I will let him live, although I need to send him back to the factory for an attitude adjustment. Just have to find the right packing materials.

The village idiot.

I think J is auditioning for the position.

He has lost his brand new glasses.............................he is also grounded for all of eternity.

The new innie.

B will officially have an innie in a week or so, after the swelling goes down. She was amazing. She was so brave and didn't care about the IV or anything. The nurses were very impressed.................or just brown nosing, I don't know.

She came through things with flying colors. She was very tired and sore yesterday, but seems to be bouncing back already. (The liquid Vicodin might be helping:)

I, on the other hand, am still exhausted. The worry of yesterday, combined with sleeping precariously with B on the couch last night have rendered me quite useless.

She is already mad at me cause I had to call her gym last night and pull her from her Tuesday class, as she is not permitted to do gymnastics for 4-5 weeks.

Is it Monday again?

B is having her hernia fixed Friday morning. Fortunately it is outpatient and (fingers crossed) all will go well.

J got to pick up the CORRECT glasses today, yay!

I am in a terribly grumbly mood, must be the yucky, rainy, chilly weather:(

And on it goes.....

Just got home from the ER. Little B has an umbilical hernia. The Dr wanted to wait until she was 6 before seeing if she required surgery. I guess that most kids born like this heal on their own.

This afternoon she was doubled over, screaming in pain. I took her in and they did a cat scan. Apparently the big ol' belly button hernia that usually sticks out like a cherry tomato has somehow slid back inside the muscle wall and was causing pain. They manipulated it around and eased the pain and it is partially back out, but she needs to have surgery very soon.

I will call the surgeon in the AM to schedule.......................
