LIFE! It is what it is.

Well my daughter got her tonsils out on Thursday, she's a trooper. I asked her "how bad does it hurt?" and she said, because at that point she still had a voice, quiet as it was "not any worse than my worst sore throat." She had some bad sore throats. Yesterday was her worst day, more painful than the "bad sore throat" we are hoping that was her "bad day" they told us about. But today is 3rd day post op and she is still sleeping so we will see how today is. Yesterday she ate mashed potatoes and some scrambled eggs. Not at the same time. I hope she heals quickly she has 4 widsom teeth to be removed before she goes back to school. I don't think we can fit in a hand surgery, maybe Christmas break. Oh she just woke up and wants cream of wheat, yahoo. Today is better.

My son was animal sitting and I didn't see him for a week. He kept in touch with his dad and by the time he got home he looked so grown up. He always comes home wanting a dog. His birthday is 5 days and he will be 17. I am trying to wrap my brain around that. Somedays he seems much older and some days I think he's just tall for the average 8 year old. He starts his new charter school the end of August. I have confidence that this will be a good year for him. Hopefully by June we will be having a graduation party.

I finally feel like I have some control over my life. I'm not freaking out about anything. I think because for the first time I have a plan. Wow, I have a plan for my life, and it only took 51 years. It doesn't matter when you start I guess, but it helps with looking forward to the future. I know that in 6 months when my year is up at work I want to work in the medical concierge dept., the more I talk to the people that work there and see what they do the more I know that I belong there. I will need good walking shoes though, but thats ok I need the exercise. oh and its more money. So that is plan two. Plan one is the Dave Ramsey total money makeover, we do have to take the class however, my husband has an aversion to reading. I refuse to tell him step by step, he needs to particupate fully. He is cooperating!! Along with losing weight I'm off to a great start.
