With Flying Colors

Well friends, I survived surgery. Not that I didn't think I would but you never know. So I am one less...gall bladder that is. I am in recovery and getting stronger everyday. The nurse told me the first 24 hours would be the worst, and they were. But hopefully no more spasms and I can still eat most things. We'll take that one day at a time. Now I just need a complete recovery and I can enjoy this holiday season. I love this time of year.

We're Famous

Okay maybe not so much. But check me and Little Man out on the library homepage:

So They Say...

...this isn't a big deal. But whenever you have to have surgery, I think it's a big deal. I am having my gall bladder removed Dec. 4th. Lovely, I know. The whole thing is stressing me out. What about Little Man? What about recovery? With Little Man? Fortunately we have wonderful family and they are stepping up. My in-laws will be here for the day of and the weekend. My mom is flying in for the following week. It's just a very inconvienent time with Christmas coming and all. I am trying to get some shopping done pre-Turkey day. Since we will be in Ohio for a week.
Christmas is my favorite holiday and it's quite annoying.
I know, I know. Wah wah wah boo hoo

Little Monkey gone Bananas

Little Man had a fun Halloween night. It was the best part of his day actually. Here's a video and some pictures.

Book Review

I finished Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffeneggar. She wrote The Time Traveler's Wife that they just made into a movie. Which by the way is a great book and movie. How often does that happen.

Any way the book HFS is good. A little slow in the middle but lots of twisties at the end. I enjoyed it. But the end left me wanting, just a tad. Read it and you'll see why.

It's So HARD!

I dropped my little man off at the sitter again this morning. He kicked and screamed and cried. I cried. It's just so hard to walk out with him doing that. I told him all morning that Mommy's going to work and N. is playing at Miss N.'s. He didn't get it until we were in the house and he clung to me.
I seriously wonder if I am damaging his phsyche for later in life. I told my hubby he is going to have abandonment issues.
Tell me I am crazy. Tell me that he will be fine.
And piece of advise to mothers of young childen, leave them early and as often as you can so this doesn't happen to you.
I.T. I.S. H.A.R.D!

Let it snow?

Last time I checked my calendar it was October. So this was the scene out my patio door on October 15th.
