Where should I begin???

I always have wonderful intentions of blogging...about many things...and when it comes right down to it I just never get around to it. Last week however...is one of those week's that is blog worthy. Let me just share a few of the major highlights....

Sunday Night:

I was pretty excited because Monday my friend Darla was going to take nate & tyson to the jumper place in surprise for the afternoon. That meant...total freedom for getting things done in the house that I have been neglecting for some time now. Home schooling Nate is kicking my butt...in a million different ways so a few hours off was much needed....little did I know what Monday morning would bring.

Monday:

AM: I'm still in bed and Nate comes in..."Mom, I just threw up." Thoughts are racing a million miles a minute. "crap...now I have to do laundry, clean, disinfect, cancel our play date for today (there goes all my free time & plans for getting anything done), etc. etc.

Side Note: Now, I'm going to be brutally honest here..since this is my blog...LOL...I am NOT a very good mother or wife when my children or husband have the flu. I am not sure exactly where myobsessive compulsive germaphobic behavior came from (thanks dad) but I am deathly afraid of the flu and throwing up specifically. Some people...will make themselves throw up to feel better. I am the complete opposite. I would rather feel sick for 2 days than make myself throw up. It's just one of those many quirks I have I guess. So when it comes to taking care of those that are inflicted with the flu...I am not one to hug & cuddle. No...not one bit. I pull out the gloves & the Lysol and go to town.

So...back to my original thoughts the day was not starting off too well & I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet. I finally talk myself into getting out of bed & starting the lovely day I have ahead of me. As I'm getting out of bed...I feel that wonderful "gush"...you know the "gush" us women just love to feel (especially when you're hoping to be pregnant...that's a nice added extra bonus). My "gush" is of course followed by intense cramping because that's what endometriosis does of course. Yes...we were off to a good start.

My poor husband did not know what hit him that day. You know when you just have those days that 1 little thing sets you over the edge? Well...Monday was my poor husband's day to get it apparently. The poor guy couldn't do much right. He was pretty understanding to my sudden moodswing and hopefully disregarded whatever odd things I was upset about that day. I feel bad for men sometimes....some days they just don't stand a chance. :-)

So my day consisted of cleaning, bringing out the trash bags (full of throw up) and let's not forget the 10 loads of laundry...and dinner...oh yeah forget it. I did manage to muster up a cake for my brother in law's birthday. I won't bore you with the rest of the germophobic things I do when my house is hit with the flu. I'm certain I've already shared way too much information at this point.

Tuesday: Yet...another day of several loads of laundry, cleaning, preschool for Tyson, dr.'s appointment, scouts (with the help of Mandie Vanhook...thank you thank you...since Jason had to stay home with Nate). Having scouts to top off my day, should say enough about Tuesday.

Wednesday: I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled. Need I write anymore? I am certain I don't remember much about that day but I do remember the delicious soup Randi brought over (thank you Rand...you made my week!). Being on pain medication does a number for me that's for sure! I am the type of person that can't sit still. Even though i dream of laying on a white sandy beach reading a book in peace and quiet...I just can't seem to sit still for a moment. So do you think surgery would stop that? Well...surgery...maybe...but getting my teeth pulled out..no. My theory is my body can still move right? So...off I went to finish my laundry & tidy up the house. I finished up the night by watching American Idol. Although I think I must have been out of it through most of the show. Vicodin makes me as out of it as you can be without actually falling asleep. I'm known to be a bit honest and goofy on the medication as well so I have to be careful who I talk to! :-)

Thursday: Does the word Chipmunk ring a bell? I'm certain those of you who have had your wisdom teeth pulled out know exactly what I'm talking about. Oh yes. I grew gunny sacks over night. Totally hot. A new look I'm not sure I would want to sport for too long. So I decided to go through my e-mail that day. Probably not the best idea when you're on pain meds. I am a little scared to look back at the e-mails. On second thought...maybe I won't.

The rest of the weekend was filled with more dr. appointments, sleepovers, pulling weeds, trying to gracefully get off the pain meds (I was tired of being in the groggy state and not having a clue what was going on) and finally...yes I did even go on date night with my hubby. Which brings me to one of the highlights of my week. We finally saw Twilight. I know....I'm such a looser seriously. Let me explain that I have not read any of the books. I will start off by saying the I love reading. It's one of my favorite things to do. But I don't read fiction. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I know if I pick up a good fiction book I'll never put it down & I won't get anything done. So I have refused to read the Twilight books because I know my weaknesses...and I would get nothing done for however long it took me to finish them. So...at this point I was not even remotely close to being interested in seeing the movie. I thought it would be corney and stupid. After all who wants to see a movie about vampires right? But...Jason has been bugging me to see it (seriously...i know) so I was feeling nice by Saturday and told him since I always get to pick the movies he could pick this time. Can I just say that I absolutely loved it! I am a fan....oh yes. That movie was probably one of the hottest movies I have seen in a while. No...it most definitely was. That was awesome. I am definitely a hopeless romantic so I am now a Twilight fan & am looking forward to reading the books....hopefully sometime soon.

I think that pretty much sums up the week. I've had more eventful weeks but this one has it's place that's for sure. This week...is starting off a bit better. I woke up this morning to find that my face, chest and back having broken out. I thought it could perhaps be a reaction to one of the medications they have me on but to my amazement...it was not. I am wondering...is this a curse for turning 30 this year? Seriously. I am well past the puberty point. Let's not even go there again.
