RT 1- I am not a pretty woman. I am still all swelled up on the left side of my face-- which has resulted in a black eye.
RT 2- I did not get the temporary crown this time, so it's back to the Flipper (fake tooth.)
RT 3- My mouth is still really swollen and sore so I can't wear said Flipper, so I am workin' it all backwoods style with a big gaping hole in my teeth. (See RT 1... "I am not a pretty woman.")
RT4- The nausea is gone so it's back to counting on the ice cream "sticking" with me on the scale. (Crud.)
RT5- My mother-in-law is my hero. She came over yesterday to watch the kids, do my laundry, and make HOMEMADE chicken noodle soup. Yes, folks, even the NOODLES were homemade. It was a fun afternoon project for her and the kids-- using her pasta machine to make noodles for the soup. I swear she is Superwoman. She saved the day yesterday.
RT6- My father-in-law is my other hero. He came over the day before and wrangled all the kids while Nick took me to the surgery. My kids actually prefer their grandparents to their parents so it worked out well.
RT7- Nick is my other, other hero. Man, he takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I so married up. He has had to put up with so much drama from me lately it's not even funny. And really, his family is so great that even if he wasn't that great of a husband, it would STILL be worth it to have access to his parents. :)
RT8- I am like an elderly person with how many medications I am currently on-- this morning it was 2 Antibiotics, 2 Effexors (the anti-depressant I take), 3 ibuprofen (for swelling) and 1 Vicodin (for pain.) I actually had to get another glass of water because I couldn't swallow them all with one.
RT9- Since I am still not feeling well we decided we wouldn't do our usual Friday night pool date, which we knew was going to upset Nia so we told her she could pick one of her Barbie princess movies and we would watch it together as a family. I regretted that statement as soon as it was out of my mouth. I am going to probably need 2 Vicodin to get through that... And I will probably slip Nick one too if I am feeling generous.
RT 10- Mt. Dirty Laundry is almost scaled. One more load to go in. ThenI am left to scale Mt. Clean and Folded Laundry, which I hate almost as much.
RT 11- I have about a billion unread emails in my inbox as I haven't really been checking emails much in the past two days... I'll try to get back to you all this weekend...
