Anything But Gray

To be super busy!!!

This weekend was fantastic. We got the tree up and decorations up. Zachary went and played poker on Friday night and my friend Kim came over with two bottles of wine and we had a very, very nice visit. Her husband dropped her off and picked her up, so she could drink with no worries, which was nice. Zak was supposed to be the one to drive her home, but she just had her husband come get her. Which is good because you want to know what time Zak decided to mosey on home? 4am!!! ha! He had fun and came home very, very slightly ahead. He hardly ever gets a night out like that so I was glad he went and I don't care how late he stays…I'm sleeping anyway.

Then on Saturday Kim and I went out shopping for a little bit. Me and the kids made a wreath for the front door and it inspired her, so we went to the craft store and she got a bunch of stuff so she could make a few wreaths. We had a really, really nice time and I've been missing her a lot lately, so it was really good to spend some time with her. Although I enjoy her company so much, it makes me want to get together with her again, soon. 🙂

Disclaimer: Maybe TMI ahead..

The kids are supposed to go back to school and daycare today, but my poor daughter is staying home today. We had to take her to urgent care this weekend. She's got a really bad bladder infection. Poor thing! That is such a horrible feeling to watch her struggle to go to the bathroom and I can't help her. She started the medication Sunday morning and it's still hurting her to pee and there's still a slight bit of blood in her pee. <sigh> For some reason I just think the minute she takes one dose she should automatically be better. Very hard for a mom to watch her kid in pain, so completely sucks. But she's in great spirits, so that's a good thing. It makes dealing with it a bit easier anyway. Hopefully, by later today, going to the bathroom won't hurt anymore. Fingers crossed!

Ann (my brother's girlfriend (who is his ex-wife and mother of his kids…long story!) is having minor surgery today and so I'm a teeny bit worried about that. It's an outpatient procedure and nothing major, but it's her birthday! Nice way to spend your birthday, huh? lol. My mom is there to help out and I think they are planning on doing a small birthday thing for her, if she feels up to it. Hope it goes well…
