just passin' through.....

Hey all! How is everyone doing? All is well here other than being crazy busy all the time. I am having trouble sleeping tonight so I thought I would get online for a bit. I finally made my way through my blog roll and commented everyone.

As far as getting things done, this week has been good. I have a clean house, finally new curtains for my bedroom. After church tonight I couldn't sit still so I took my van out to the car wash and washed it ,vacuumed the inside and cleaned all the windows , I haven't had time to really give that mini-van a good scrubbing in some time now so I was really excited about that. Yesterday we got my daughters curtains hung after having them for almost seven months. The curtains that I bought for my room aren't the color that I wanted but they match everything so I will be happy with them for now. I wanted a darker country pink to match the bathroom since I have accented the bathroom with the light green in my bedroom but I couldn't the right color pink unless I had them custom made and since my surgery is only a week and a day away I didn't have time to have them custom made so I went with a darker green which is also in my comforter and it will keep the light out while I am trying to rest after surgery. Right now we just have blinds up and as soon as the sun starts rising my bedroom is lit up brightly so you can't sleep in there much if light bothers you and it does me. I don't sleep good on nights when the moon is full either because it brightens the room.

I am not so nervous about my surgery anymore, I had an appointment with my Dr. Wednesday that was a pre-surgery consult. She answered a lot of questions for me and that made me feel much better about the entire thing. She explained everything they are going to do to me during surgery in detail and that is what helped me out the most, I am a detail person so I want to know. Some people can't watch their blood being drawn but I am the opposite, if you think you are sticking a needle in my arm then be prepared for my eyes to be on that needle at all times, if I turn my head I will pass out. I still have some worries and concerns that make me a bit nervous but it isn't about the actual surgery, it is about the recovery time. For two weeks I have to take it easy and do pretty much nothing but walk a little each day, I am not one that is use to lying around all day so I am not looking forward to it but in another way I am looking forward to some good rest for a couple of days. One good thing about it is that I am booked solid up until the day of surgery so my mind won't have time to dwell on it much this week.

My hormones have been going absolutely crazy the past couple of weeks which has made me want to cry all the time. Ladies you know what I am talking about , the feeling or need to cry or finding yourself crying when you know there is really no reason to be doing so. On my way to and from work I cry at least once both ways and afterwards I do feel better, it seems to make my shoulders feel a couple of tons lighter. There are some things going on around here that has me all bothered, upset, and a nervous wreck half the time but I know I shouldn't be letting those things bother me, I think maybe right now I am just a little to sensitive to everything around me and I don't really know why.

Well it is getting late and I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning so I need to give sleep another shot. I am going to try to make it back by here before Thanksgiving but if not I hope that all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving with your families!

I miss y'all!

Before I go, here is a little something I received in an email from my sister-in-law. I laughed til I had tears rolling down my face because it is so true. Click HERE to watch!
