Good Morning all!!
We have entered crunch time at our house. Randy goes in for stomach surgery tomorrow morning. He will be off work approx 2 weeks.
Rueben started treatment at UNMC the end of last month. The treatment is very expensive and we had a scholarship for the first month....I hope I can find some funding somewhere to help.
Steven is coming home from Iraq for his dad's surgery. He should be here sometime very late tonight or the wee hours of tomorrow.
So I've been cleaning like a woman possessed getting everything ready for when Randy is off work. The problem is I'm on the phone or computer all morning digging up funding applications, then all afternoon I'm juggling getting Rueben to and from the treatment center, and then picking the other two kids up at their different dismissal times. Then dinner, bath for the kids and bed. It doesn't leave a lot of time to pretend I'm Martha Stewart or Sally B. Homemaker.
I'm still trying to see the humor in things.....here's an excerpt of what happened on Friday for little Mason's first field trip EVER! We went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch outside Gretna, NE. These people are only open 2 months a year and I'm sure that they make a KILLING! Just that morning we were there there were 1400 kids on field trips. It was crazy. I wrote this on Friday. Things have not improved in my poor calves yet.
Now that I am home to recuperate I have discovered something EXTREMELY important.
I am sooooooooooo out of shape. There are pedal carts, like pedal boats at this blasted pumpkin patch. It's an excrutiatingly long track somewhere around 100 yards or something. Simply horrible. I had 3 4-year old people who need to go on diets. Two of the little chubbers up front and my baby boy next to me. That blasted kid kept pulling the hand brake. I'm still limping. It took my whole body to get that thing going over a hill, I almost made the kids get out and push. I thought my life was over and I was looking forward to going towards the light....but alas, it was just the sun beating into my eye-balls. I am never going there again. I was thinking about taking the kids when Randy's off work, but no thank you. I'd sooner go through the Death by a Thousand Papercuts than go there again.
I need rest and sleep. It's only 4 oclock and I'm looking forward to bed time like some people look forward to days off.
As if the assault on my physical person with the pedal carts was not bad enough, I had to carry 30 pounds of pumpkin to my car which my children will make pumpkin carvings or whatever with. Mason got one for free with the field trip, so I had to buy two as I knew what would happen with 3 boys and 1 pumpkin. I think I will just curl up and die now.
I think that the Dad needs to start going on these field trips. He needs to get back in shape! I may have to formulate a plan for Tyler's field trip on the 23rd.
I am now going in search of frozen peas for my aching legs. I already have tater tots on my back....which isn't helping at all.
I think that I will avoid the insanity and body mutilation and just avoid Tyler's field trip the 23rd. At least he's not going to the same place, but I've been to his before and I'm not all enthused to go back. So...since Randy has to take 2 weeks off work, and he can start driving again the 5th day, I think he's going to be driving his rear end down to Bellevue.
Will try to check back in as often as possible after the surgery........once I get my head to stop spinning!
