Wow. Things are really about to go wild around here.
Turns out my yearly girly exam didn’t go that well. I’ll be having my internal lady bits removed the day after tomorrow. I’ll be in the hospital a day or two and then home recovering for a couple of weeks.
Hubby will be having surgery on his shoulder May 24th. Old football injury come back to haunt him. Which of course sounds WAY more self-important than it really is. He’ll be in a sling for 4 weeks.
5 children, 2 of them special needs, 3 cats, 1 dog (sorta), and a house with a garden that still needs planted.. vs. … 1 armed Dad, and half a Mom. Game on, folks. Game on.
Anywho, If anyone should be so inclined to keep me alive for the next week to week and a half, please email me at cgillajs_5@yahoo.com. I’ll owe you one. Not that you want me to post on your blog. God knows, I make no sense.
Now for the Mad-Hatter silliness. At OT, he was to “color” a picture. All Mad wanted to do was to play with the Potato Heads his OT had brought in for later. He was really REALLY insistent. Finally, she decided to put a couple on the table in front of where he sat with the crayons. She told him to “Draw the Potato Heads on the table.” She then turned around to put away the mess from the Tunnel Crawl he had just completed. You guys, I knew he was literal, but not like this! He actually threw the paper on the floor and started drawing a picture of the potato heads on the table itself. OT turned around, saw what he was doing and cracked up. I think he followed directions pretty well! Touche, Mad. Touche.
So, I am still getting over the flu, and really distracted with the surgery business. If I post infrequently, or even really small absurd posts. You’ll know why. I really hope to hear from some of you, I could totally use your help.

Oh my gosh, to say you have your hands full would be a ridiculous understatement!! If I can think of anything witty to write, I will send it your way. No promises though, the well has been dry for a couple of weeks. I hope everything goes well with your surgery, and you all maintain your sanity!

Thanks! BTW, I think Flat Flannery is an awesome concept. I can’t get my printer to work or she’d be at my house, helping clean up 🙂

With all that going on you still manage to maintain a lighthearted attitude. I love that. :o)
I hope all goes well with your surgery and recovery, and with hubby’s as well.

Lord, and I thought I had it rough…I’ll shut up now. I’ll see what I can come up with….now you got me thinking. That could be dangerous!
Good luck with the surgery–there is nothing worse than a downned man….
