AAAAUGGGGGH!!! Just lost a post b/c I wasn't thinking! Trying to close out the s hutterfly window, closed this one instead.
I'm kinda depressing today anyway, so y'all may want to just read J&C and pray for me.
The sun must have been there somewhere today, but it has been cloudy and raining all day. That was okay with me, b/c I wanted to nap all afternoon anyway. We made it to church and back between showers but it was messy taking the garbage to the road and getting in and out of Wmart.
And there have been good things for the day --
DGS completely dressed himself * except for socks and shoes * for the first time here at our house (I know, he should have been doing this for a long while, but you know how I am, I want to "help" b/c I'm in a rush on Sundays and it takes him a lot longer.) I had to do the socks and shoes b/c (he said) "I don't actually like to
touch socks." (And dh thinks ddil shouldn't accept the autism label???)
No upsetting remarks from sermon today
Dishwasher is empty, kitchen is clean, groceries are put away
Got photos uploaded to S hutterfly and ordered, so I'm not letting that get away from me like it has in the past
No one in my family is in the hospital tonight
On the other hand...
dmom is not feeling well, I may have to accompany her back to the doctor tomorrow, and I'm just really anxious about her condition right now
DH has not felt well since his ballgame trip Wednesday, and he's beginning to feel a little depressed and concerned that his heart ISN'T doing as well as he thought (but the ablation is still working -- no racing heartbeat, just tired and weak)
both dgrands will be here overnight Wed. and probably all day and into the evening Thurs... (and dgd does NOT sleep well away from her home!)
we are expecting * hoping * the new SUV will be in this week and that will be an all day thing, with insurance, tags, getting old SUV to dfriend...
and I need to make an appt with the allergist b/c now they will not mail new vials of serum but insist you take your first shot in office.
For once, I am REALLY looking forward to college town this weekend.
Tomorrow, I have to make at least two, maybe three phone calls re: dmom's rehab plans. And I have to call allergy doctor for myself, although I think I will put that appt off till next week.
Then I have to go to two different drug stores, then to dmom's house, and possibly to doctor with her & get her supper for her.
Tuesday we have to go to another funeral visitation, wife of one of dh's friends. Neither of us knew her very well, but the husband is a golfing buddy of dh's and we really need to pay our respects.
Wednesday/Thursday -- as above. I should have most of the day free, though, unless dmom needs me or the SUV has to be picked up that day.
AND as noted below -- Thursday is dmom's birthday.
Friday/Saturday -- College Town.
And I have totally ignored all cards/routines the past week, so those things need attention as well. Plus, I need to color my hair. AND I really have to get back into exercise routine. I'm losing ground (and gaining pounds, I fear) and all I want to do is eat.
Y'all, I'm sorry. I am contributing very little to this thread lately -- seems like I just come here to complain and whine -- but I am sooo thankful y'all are here. I know it won't be like this for long. We all go through ups and downs, and dmom will feel better another day and we'll get through this surgery and eventually get her back on her feet (without pain). I hope. I type that and then I think... and then it will be something else... and then something else. It's just so frustrating. I guess I should go watch something on TV and exercise. If I can't do 15 minutes, maybe I can do 10. Or 5. I will do SOMETHING and try to get my head together better before I post again.

EEEEEEK!!!! I just remembered! Thursday is dmom's birthday!!! I have to find some time to go shopping, and will probably have to go to Next Town, to get her gift! And what will she want to do Thursday, feeling like she has lately? That is all up in the air too... Oh. My. Goodness. Editing above to put that in too...
