NOTHING!! It is the MINIMUM part that was bugging me!!! (ESPECIALLY combined with not being able to fall asleep until 3 am!!!)

I was getting the kids to school and then going back to bed...hard to get anything done that way!!!!

Geez, Squeak, must be nice to be single. Enjoy it while you've got it, hon.

Or even married w/o kids... I don't know how you guys with kids have energy to do anything! I guess DH and I will figure that one out when we do have children. haha

Yes, I strongly advise against them, Monika.

Basically you run around crazed, and DON'T get everything done!!!

Hmmm I don't have kids and I still run around crazed and don't get anything done

Mauva, yeah me too - that's what I mean, what in the WORLD happens WITH kids? haha Scary thought...

Hi Girls...

I am going to be pretty scarce the next week coming up until after Feb. 3rd.

Everything hit at once today...I took my daughter in for a routine dental appt. and I get called in to talk to the dentist...Well I found out my daughter has to have major facial/jaw surgery. Her top jaw isn't growing right and even though you cant see it physically, it's causing havoc in the back. **sigh** Her dad had the same problem and he was in surgery for 8 hours and in hospital for a week!! Anyhow, we go next Thursday to see the surgeon...They want to do this before she starts to develop cause it's harder once she's a teen so...We will see what the man says.

Now besides this, the truck was in the shop, they said it was "fixed", but they had the wrong mechanic work on it so it wasn't "fixed" after all...we drove it home and had to drive it right back! Then I had to put my oldest rat down...and I had to do it myself. Vet was closed. The only comfort I get in that is that I had control over the process and my pet is no longer suffering, and I made sure it was painless and quick.

So...I have decided to go home to see my friends and family for a few days. Nothing like a good dose of home to warm you up inside. You girls do too of course but I need to go pester my friends and drive them bananas for a bit.

The one thing I haven't done through all of this is eat eat eat!! Just don't want too this time..

Well, I have been up since 4 am Thursday, and it's 1:21 am now, so I am going to try to sleep.

Oh, Noodles... I'm so sorry, hon. What a rough time you're having. Stay strong... all will be well.
Prayers for your daughter...

Aw Noodles, So sorry for all your troubles just know that we will be thinking & praying for ya!

Sorry things aren't going so well Noodles. Enjoy your time away!

Sorry to hear about your troubles Noodles- getting away for a few days will probably do you some good. Take care of yourself and I hope things get better soon

Noodles-Sorry to hear about the hard times you are going through. I think it is good that you are getting away for a while. Coming back refreshed will give you more energy to deal with the stuff ahead of you. It will be good to get your daughter past the surgery when she is younger, but that won't make going through it any easier. Just know that we are all rooting for you and for your family (regular AND furry!!)
