A days work.........

I left work, went home, hubby jumped in van, dropped him off at work, shopped for a bit, went home, had hot tea, cleaned a little, went to bank, back home to clean more, went to library, took hubby some lunch, back home to take a nap, up to finish cleaning, put leftover food in oven to heat, took Seth to work, grocery shopped, went to Walgreens, picked hubby up, back to bank, home to eat, foot massage from hubby, back to get Seth. Home again, showered and off to bed I go, where I slept for 7 straight hours! YES!!!
I forgot to mention that I am very thankful that the antibiotic didn't give me a black, hairy tongue like it said it could. That would of just been too gross! I guess my days of struggling with this wisdom tooth and having it go away are over. I had the antibiotic and RX pain relief and it is better but it still hurts. Looks like it is time to get it taken out. DREADFUL thought. I am hoping to put it off until after Christmas but most definitely will not let myself get to where I was on the infection/pain level. I told hubby if I could only get rid of the right side of my body I would be ok! Tooth, knee, leg and foot all hurt on that side! I thought my knee pain was better..........until I went off the high dose pain meds! No such luck! Getting old isn't fun at all! Better than the alternative but still...........

YAY!

Thanksgiving was GREAT! We waited until evening to eat so Jake could be there. I got home and was done with all the prep work by 12:00 then I went to pick up my hubby from work. After I ate some lunch we were trying to decide what to do next and he figured he better take a nap because he had to get up at 2 A.M. to go to work. I can't believe I took a 2 hour nap and still got everything done! I mean, seriously I can't let him nap alone can I? This morning I woke up when he was getting ready to go to work but dozed off while he was eating. Lucky for him........he let me know he was leaving then I fell back to sleep. I am not used to being woke up by an alarm so I found it annoying. My "alarm" rubs my back and tells me it is time to get up! I also missed my hubby when I had to drive to work alone. I am used to having that time to talk or be in companionable silence!!!

HAPPY PEOPLE!

I was just in the business of making people happy Sunday. I was still feeling really awful so I stayed home from church. Seth forgot I was there and was wondering what they would have for dinner..........he didn't know quite what to think when he came in and smelled "good food." He turned around and saw me and the look on his face was priceless!! Later, hubby wanted a chocolate covered cherry minus the cherry so I took it out and ate it. He told Seth it was a special lady that would eat the cherry so you could have the yummy stuff without eating the nasty cherry. I personally like the cherry and will eat them out of the jar! Yep, I was sure making people happy that day!!!

WHEW!

I had to come back to work to rest!!! I got yesterday and left to shop. Got back home and rested for awhile...went to the laundry mat then it was interview time for my girl. Dropped her off, went back to laundry mat. She told me she was done so back to get her and she got the job......orientation Friday, she needed a work permit, photo ID, and a Dr's ok! UH, really? Everything is closed Thursday. SOOOO, run to the school to get WP app. Run home to take Jake to work. Let hubby know what is up and get advice on how to proceed. He said he could take her Friday to get photo ID so take her to Dr. Stopped at KFC to get WP filled out, rush to Dr. Run home and start some clothes, run to get hubby, found out that he meant 4 A.M. Friday not 4 P.M. UH-OH! so he decided he would take a long lunch to take her to get ID today. I am tired............I didn't even have time to fix dinner so I ate cereal and fed my guys fried eggs! I did get up in time to fix my hubby some oatmeal this morning.

RELIEF!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH.............antibiotic and perscription pain meds, how I love thee!!! I was told that University Hospital would take care of my wisdom tooth but it is a longer process if you don't have a referral but if you go through the E.R. they would see you quicker. My first thought was there was no way I was going to go downtown to the E.R. Weeeeeeeeeeel, ya get to hurting bad enough you will do whatever you have to do. Yesterday found me going to hubby's work and telling him the scoop and ended with me downtown in the E.R. I was so impressed by the speed and treatment. NOONE acted like I was dumb for coming in and I might very well be able to get this tooth cut out in about a month. It was rather funny that one of the first question they asked me was whether I was a danger to myself or others. Then they asked if I wanted to hurt myself. "Nope." "Did I want to hurt others???" "No, I wasn't there........yet but I wasn't sure what could happen." Hubby just about croaked!!! He said, "DEAR!, they need you to be serious." The lady started laughing and asked, "but for right now you are not wanting to hurt anyone??" "Nah, not at this moment." I had not been in the mood to crack jokes before but I think knowing that the end of my misery was in sight helped ALOT! I am so grateful that hubby dropped everything and took me because I don't have good directional sense and I needed his support. He was also a great son-in-law to my mom. He drove her to the hospital on Thursday. SIGH..........alot going on right now.

Seth's early dinner

Seth with his cake..........


Me pestering my hubby and Seth and I both pestering him...

WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT?

My youngest son will soon be 18. I can;t believe it! When I mentioned that to my mother-in-law she asked me how I thought she felt??? Her youngest will be 49! Sometimes I look at Seth and wonder what he is thinking. There are times I wish I knew and other times when I know I am glad I don't. That is mainly because I remember my 18th year and it was probably the worst year ever!!! I am looking forward to Seth's birthday. We are having cake ahead of time so Jake can be there. The only thing missing will be Jonathon. By the way, after he gets Seth the gift he is planning to get him he will most definitely be "brother of the year." He is going to have Seth come over to visit and take him to Greenwood and get him a guitar!!! How awesome is that??? I love my sweet, generous kids!

Who's crying now????

It certainly isn't me! I believe my tear ducts are sealed up! I have been through some crazy stuff lately..........mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally and still there are no tears. I am not sure if that is good or bad because I am not sure if that makes me strong or cold. I do know I have been so preoccupied I almost got hit by someone that nearly run a red light the other day and I absent-mindedly dipped my hand into a pan of water I had just taken off the stove. I told Daniel that with my zoned out thoughts I was afraid to shave my legs for fear I would somehow nick a major artery!!! LOL! He asked if that were even possible and I had to admit maybe not except for the the way I have been doing things!!! Oh, well. It will get better, right??? Even listening to sappy old songs doesn't bring tears. Jake was playing, "Oh, Sherrie" for me yesterday..........even though it brought back memories they only made me smile, no tears!!!
