Fun! I recently had the 6 month follow-up on the one. I received a letter the other day that it's normal. Probably about the only part of me that is.

Well that is good news.

 

[bethbuchall]

Well that is good news.

Yes, it is. Thanks! I didn't really think about it for 6 months, and then I was nervous once I had the appointment scheduled.

Anne Marie - Good for you!

I am thoroughly irritated at DH.
I was really good about exercising the whole time I was off. I knew when I went back to work that getting ANY exercise would be a nightmare. I was RIGHT!

DS has to be at the bus stop for band camp at 7:30. We have to leave the house at 7:20. There is no way I can get a decent work out and shower before we have to leave. I am not comfortable leaving DS alone while I go to the fitness center, and it isn't fair to wake him up at 5:30 AM and drag him with me. I could do the Wii Fit, but I am still trying to determine if that is what is causing the pain in my left foot. It may be the Fit, but it may be my new Merrell sandals. (Which is a whole separate issue - I need to decide if I am going to try to return the sandals. I bought them last summer but I never wore them until 2 weeks ago. If those are the reason my foot hurts I hate to have wasted the money!)

Anyway, DH is off Fri & Sat now. Every week. So I was REALLY looking forward to having Friday morning to myself - HE was supposed to be in charge of DS. Nope. He volunteered to work. Now I am solely responsible for DS all 5 mornings. That makes me furious because he KNEW I planned on him taking DS to the bus. Of course he now claims to have NO memory of us talking about HIM taking DS on Friday.

I would try to get on the treadmill after work, but that will make DH mad. He wants me to eat dinner the exact minute he says dinner is ready. I HATE that. He will pout and make snarky comments if I start going to the treadmill after work. There simply are not enough hours in my day. I refuse to try to walk/jog 3.5 miles on a full stomach. DH claims he doesn't care when or if I eat, but any time I do not immediately drop what I am doing and come running for dinner he gets mad.

Oh, and then there is the issue of DS and DH not being able to get along. When I got home last night they were fighting and it took me 45 minutes to diffuse the fight. By then dinner was ready.

OK. Vent over. It is what it is.

It is pouring here. No sign of a break for the next 3 or 4 days I'm wondering if all the class trips will happen or not

Elizabeth, how far is the fitness center from your apartment? Since you and DS both have cell phones couldn't he call you if he needed something and you could be there quickly? Between phone contact and your security system I would think he'd be fine sleeping while you work out. I know that living in the big city puts a whole new spin on things though

It is close - you can see the fitness center from DS's bedroom window. I did think about going and leaving him asleep, but HE seemed freaked out by the notion.

I didn't sleep well last night so I was in bed when DS woke up this morning. He immediately checked to see if I was there, because he was worried that I might have gone to the fitness center.

I guess I need to talk to him about it tonight. He probably would be safe - it is just convincing him that he would be safe.

I'm trying to pack some things for our upcoming trip. We are all supposed to be home tonight so I thought it was a good time to get going. Of course my boss at the restaurant called to see if I "wanted" to work tonight, I really don't, but if he can't find someone else I'll end up going in. I guess it is wait and see at this point.

Tomorrow is Jackie's 8th grade graduation ceremony......apparently 51 8th grade students went home today "with flu-like symptoms" So tomorrow there will be no hand shaking and or hugging between teachers and students (according to the email received from the district) I hope we are sparred....not really wanting to get the plague!!

Deb - I hope the evening went as you hoped. If you went in, I hope you got $$$$

Kristine - How many 8th graders are there total?? That seems like an odd occurrence.

I hope it was a case of mass "hysteria" if you know what I mean. We don't want any of you sick either!

Yikes! Scary! We just found out that my SIL's siblings have 4 confirmed swine flu cases between 3 families. Needless to say, we are staying far away from SIL. Nothing like putting your kids in quarantine the first week of summer!

Uh-oh. That's alot! I hope Jackie doesn't get it.

I am SO glad today is over. Tomorrow Alyssa has her dress rehearsal for ballet. Friday is tap. Why they couldn't both be on the same evening is beyond me.

Nicholas came home with a note from school that he will be receiving an award on Monday. My parents will still be hear so they will get to come to the ceremony too. He asked me if I would be able to be there. I said "of course I will be there!" Then I hear Alyssa tell him "Mommy is always there". It made my heart flutter, and feel sad at the same time, that at her young age she can see what is going on.

Tell Nicholas I am proud of him! And also give Miss Alyssa a hug... she is wise beyond her years already. You are a good Mom.

Terry - I can't wait to hear where you and Hal decided to go to dinner!
