Three steps behind

That's how I feel, three steps behind my brain. I keep thinking of all I need to do and I'm not getting much of it done.

In case you are one of...gosh...maybe the 2? people out there who don't read Braska's blog, here's a rundown of my last couple weeks.

12/22-To St. Louis for Christmas weekend. Home on 12/25.
12/26-Back to St. Louis to take Braska to GI for granulation. Home on 12/29.
1/2-Back to St. Louis to take Braska to GI for granulation...again. Home on 1/3.
That's 18 hours of driving right there.

That might have something to do with my being behind. Possible. And it looks like another trip is going to be in order in a few days unless something changes very quickly. Better get to the library to get some more books on CD.

Yesterday, I kicked my husband and daughter out of the house for several hours. That's the only way I can get real work done around here. They have to be gone. So they went and hung out with some friends and I got through 3 1/2 rooms. That even included sneaking away to meet the girls at Toro for a quick lunch. Even mopped the kitchen...and that NEVER happens anymore. So sad. I'm glad I made some headway though. It's a start.

Today, we had a bit of a late start, so we hit second service at church, then lunch with friends(Toro, of course), then home for a quick nap for the kiddo and the husband (and a peek at football for me) then to a movie with those same friends, then M went to Sunday Night Magic (yes, if you're counting, that's three nights a week now...but that's for another post), and I went to a friend's to do a bit of treasure hunting, you might say. Now we're home, it's 9 pm, Braska's asleep in her car seat, so I'm leaving her for the moment. She still needs to be fed once more, changed, etc. But I'm stealing a minute to sit and relax, check the email, and throw up a post.

I'm not usually a basic daily play-by-play kind of blogger, but for now, it will do. I didn't want you to think I've been slacking off or anything!

What did you do today?

  1. You are in luck! The new library opens on Wednesday. Plus did you know that you can reserve/request stuff on-line. It is really nice then you just pick it up. We do it with movies all the time. You probably know this:-)

  2. Busy, busy! Glad you could watch a bit of football! Don't want to seem picky, but you might say, "Upload a post" rather than "throw up a post." Just to protect the squeamish.

    Oh yeah, I set up an appt of one vehicle to be inspected, one van to get a new windshield (so it can be inspected), dealt with the car insurance folks, wrote bunches of thank you notes, & did a lot of email correspondence, commented on Braska's blog, etc. etc.

    Oh,you didn't MEAN you REALLY wanted to know what I'd done today? Sorry......

  4. Well, what did I do today? I spent eight-ish hours with fifteen fresh-faced new college graduates at corporate training for my brand-spanking new job. I'm trying to hide the facts that I went to school forever and am OLD. They are all 22, you know. But I did sneak home for lunch and watched part of "Top that Party" or something about extravagant parties. I also got a haircut that I'm still deciding if I like. And I fed the guinea pig several carrots and pieces of yellow bell pepper. Aren't you glad you asked:)

  5. Karen K--I do need to go by there to see the new place...it looks good from the outside.

    Dad--Didn't think about my verbage with the posting..sorry. And yeah, I was hoping I'd get the actual schedule of readers.

    Aunt V--Can't have too many funny grandpas I don't think.

    Mary--That's an interesting day... and if YOU are old...*sigh* I give up. Congrats on the new job!! I look forward to hearing more about it. Ah, the pigs...give them some lettuce for me too.

  6. Sometimes play by plays are needed when your getting overwhelmed if nothing else but to vent. I love reading Braska's blog, but I've been super busy too. I haven't been able to visit all my favorites. I'm hoping it all slows down soon.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
