Love/Hate Relationship

To my dearest gall bladder,

Our relationship together is coming to an end Monday. It has been a roller coaster of a ride and will always remember the Good:

The 55 pounds you helped me loose.
That I actually like salads without dressing
My new love for jello
My new found respect for child labor, because in the end you get a beautiful baby.

With the good comes the bad:
My dependency on pain killers.
The pain I pushed through all hours through the night while your baby gall stones blocked ducts.
The many sleepless nights while my baby slept through the night!
The Thanksgiving dinner I had to do without!
SURGERY!

As you can see the bad outweighs the good, so at 9:30 am December 8th you will be removed from my life. I am sorry to see you go, but you knew this time had to come!

Sincerely,
Your former home!

Taking a Sick Day!

Getting over something on this end and trying to stay well until my gall bladder surgery, so blogging is going to lag this week. All my energy is going to the princesses so there isn't much left while the hubby is at work.

To those who have given me awards... I haven't forgotten about you at all! I just want to thank you for the awards! I am not sure if I will be able to blog and pass them on, but I will proudly show them off when I can!

Growing up is hard on Me!

Princess In Training is officially one month old today! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone! If only my pregnancy had gone that fast! In one month "P-I-T"'s personality has gone from very laid back to my challenging colicky baby. Sleep is the furthest from her mind. I was telling my hubby... Children will fight sleep and as adults we say BRING IT ON!! Princess In Training is growing so fast and I swear she is smiling more each day... or it could be gas.

On top of "P-I-T" being colicky Sassy was sick with a fever all day yesterday. I knew this would be coming with getting back to school. She is home today, so I know she doesn't push too hard and make herself worse than she was. I just hope no one else gets the bug as well.

Oh and on top of that my 8 year old as officially hit puberty... you don't need to clean out your ears because you have heard right! We were at her school ice cream social and noticed a funky body odor smell while she was on my lap. Of course I thought it was me, so I do the inconspicuous pit check. I sigh with relief knowing I have that nice flowery smell. At that moment Sassy raises her arm, so I sneak in there to take a whiff and WHOA! So, this weekend I taught Sassy that she needs to make sure to scrub her underarms and put deodorant on everyday! Of course during this milestone I am screaming inside knowing that she won't be my little girl that much longer! Is it abuse if I lock her in her room and throw away the key till she is 18, or maybe 50?

So, right now I have 2, yes 2 sleeping children!! On top of blogging I will be using this time to eat, because lately I rarely find that time! I never understood how people could forget to eat, but I do now! Sleep takes priority as well.

Hope you are all having a Marvelous Monday!
