24 Hours- A Quick Take

I went for my annual "woman's" appointment today. As much as I hate those appointments, I still preferred it to being at work. What does that say about me or my work?

In case you were wondering, My Doctor (We'll just call her Dr. Obvious) gave me the secret to weight loss today: she told me to exercise and eat smaller portions of healthier low calorie food. If only I had known this sooner! Thanks, Dr Obvious!

Jacob's teacher told me that she promised to stop dousing Jacob in gravy so his friends would stop biting him. (My response? Oh they are just getting him back from when he was a biter!)

Mr. Calamity: He's cute enough to bite.... figuratively, not literally, that is!

Bought a Twin Mattress for Drew today; learned that a piece of twine will hold a mattress and box spring from flying out of the back of my Ford Escape.

What did Drew like best about his new bed? It made him bounce higher than his old bed!

Love is going to 10 different stores at 9pm at night to get a Twin Spiderman comforter set for your 4 year old son...

...frustration is not finding that Spiderman comforter set anywhere!

I found the perfect garbage can with a lock at Bed Bath and Beyond. I went to buy it and the clerk asked me what kind of dog I had. I told him "er, it's for my son."

You know exhaustion is affecting your mind when you go to the store for diapers and walk out with a Spiderman pillowcase, light bulbs, a garbage can... and no diapers- eek!

On a more serious note:

Something about your parents going through surgery (as my Mom did today, to repair her torn rotator cuffs(?) or being ill really reminds you of how mortal you really are, and how much you truly depend on them. I love you Mom, feel better soon!


My Mom and a young Jacob, before he turned into Mr. Calamity. Doesn't he look like the picture of innocence here?
