Well, I got up this morning and did my hair, despite the forecasters warning that today would not be a good hair day.  Hey, at least I tried.  I am not sitting in my parent’s living room wearing a visor that I am pretty sure my nephew left here.  I arrived at my parent house in a deluge of some of the heaviest rain I have seen in a long time.  Well, the hair couldn’t be saved…..

My parents are driving to Massachusetts and I am sitting with my Grandmother.  It is really kind of sad.  It seems like she is just sitting around waiting to die.  She asked me earlier if these “were my kids?”  Ummm, yeah….These are my kids, Grandma…….I mean…she is 95 but seems to be fading faster and faster all the time.  I don’t ever want to get that old.

Meanwhile,  I am still trying to figure out how to get all the movies of the babies off of my harddrive on my video camera.  I want to burn them to DVD.  So far, I haven’t had much luck.

Tomorrow, I am having an electrician (friend) come in to install the ceiling fan.  The hubby took one look at it and it was “over his head” and he didn’t want to short out the rest of the house.  Electricity has never been his strong suit.  I remember one time when we were first dating and he was talking to me on the phone while trying to wire some lights in the basement.  Well, something went buzz and he flew halfway across the basement, while I was on the phone with him.

Yeah…..

We did go to Dorney Park and had a good time.  The kids enjoyed it.  The hubby, not so much.  He doesn’t like rides. so he spent most of the day holding the bags of stuff that we dragged around instead of paying $15 to rent a locker for 4 hours…….but I did manage to get some sun, and am sporting some tan lines for the first time this year.

Tuesday…and I’m up way too early

So, I knew last night that I wasn’t going to get much sleep.  The hubby had to get up and be at work extra early this morning since that cable news network is going to be at his plant filming today.  He never sleeps before a big to do at work.  So, I was listening for his alarm so he didn’t oversleep.  He left for work beofre 4 am.  Daniel was up a few times in the night again.   Still no sleep around here.  Then, Daniel was up at 5 and was soaked.  In the process of changing him, Melissa woke up, so we are all up now.

Had a good trip to the dentist.  They had originally thought that I had a cavity….(say it ain’t so) which I haven’t had since I was in 10th grade.  As it turns out….it was just a small perforation in the enamel and they were able to seal three of my molars with sealent.  I am just so glad I didn’t have to get numbed up.  I hate that.  And pretty much any time I see a needle, I think FERTILITY DRUGS….I don’t need to go back to those days.

Melissa has started to pull herself up in to a full stand.  Daniel, not so much.  I am sure it has something to do with the fact that Daniel is a little chunk monster.  Melissa is a climber.  The world is her jungle gym.  She is so inquisitive about everything….Daniel just goes with the flow.

We have a guy coming out tonight to give us an estimate on replacing our fifty year old furnace this afternoon.  This should be interestesting.  I have to move about a ton of clean clothes that I have been begging the hubby to bring upstairs…yuck.  I don’t mind laundry, but dragging the baskets up two flights of stairs sucks.

And my Phillies, sweet Phillies have to play the Dodgers.  The game doesn’t start until 8 pm Thursday night.  That means I will (most likely) be at work late.  I told the hubby about it and hopefully it won’t be an issue this week…..

We have also been talking about the possibility of me going back to school.  Once my parents have gotten settled, it wouldn’t be too hard for me to go back at night.  I did some checking and as it turns out…I will pretty much have to start from scratch!!!  Oh joy…just what I want- to sit in a class full of 18 year olds.

And, to top things off…it is 45 degrees out right now.  I am not ready for the summer to be over, let alone think about frost.

Birthdays, Basements and Surgical Procedures, Oh My!!!

So, yesterday was a good day. I woke up with a phone call from my Aunt who calls every year to sing Happy Birthday to me. She woke me up at 7:30 but I was just milking the sleeping since Dean was downstairs with the kids already.

He made me breakfast and then I went for a much needed pedicure. I do so love my pedicures.

When I got back, he informed me that my OB/Gyn’s office called. I am scheduled for 8/8 for an Endometrial Ablation (they cryofreeze the endometrium so it goes away….no endometrium=no bleeding every month). It might be TMI, but AF has been very strange. I had the normal post partum deal and then it just never went away. So, for the last 9 1/2 months, it is been pretty much nonstop. They tried me on 3 different kinds of Oral Contraceptives to try to regulate it, but even the “strongest” pill, did not work. The only relief was when they had me double up and take two pills a day. So, now, since we have decided that any more children are out of the question, I am having to EA done.

I had actually asked about a hysterectomy, but being in my mid thirties doesn’t make me an ideal candidate. So, we will have the in office procedure and then a couple weeks later, they are putting in a Mirena IUD to have a slow release of progesterone. Eventually AF will not exist at all. That is fine with me. My Mother didn’t hit menopause until she was 60 and the thought of AF until then is just INSANE!!!!!!!!

Anyway…..

We spend most of the rest of yesterday cleaning out our basement. Not exactly fun, but it needed to be done. A friend is moving this weekend and was nice enough to rid us of a couple air conditioners, a bed, a TV and TV stand. So, in order to get all that out, we really HAD to clean. We eventually want to turn the basement into a family room or at the minimum, a man cave for Dean…. Nothing but the History Channel, The Military Channel and a kegerator.

We are having a get together tonight. A lot of the same gang we went camping with last month. So I hope the predicted “spotty storms” stay away at least long enough to get a few games of Redneck Horseshoes in.
