Early Early Morning Grumpies

Well my husband had to be at the doctors at 5:15 a.m for his surgery.  Those pesky kidney stones were threatning to cause him pain again last night so we were glad the surgery was scheduled.  We set our alarm clocks for 3:45 a.m., thinking about how long it would take us to get ready and get there.  Oh boy!

We watched some television for a bit and I drank some red wine and got sleepy quick.  My mother in law who was staying over to watch the kids joined me by having a glass too.  My husband just drank water since he was instructed not to drink anything else, poor fella.  Well we all finally got sleepy about 10:00 p.m.  and went to bed.  Notice I said to bed and not to sleep, because my eyes would not close for goodness sake.  I tried my sleepy time app on my iphone to try to relax and nothing, I was wide awake.  I finally got to sleep and my husband, bless his soul scared the living day lights out of me with a big snore.  He hasn’t snored like he did last night in a long while.I

Well 3:45 am came very fast and we snoozed till 4:15 a.m.  I wish I could have taken a rock to the alarm but that wouldn’t have had a good ending, darn.   The worse of it was I couldn’t eat since my hubby couldn’t.  I didn’t want to make him feel bad since he couldn’t drink or eat anything.  I drove and got us there like 5 minutes late, which wasn’t too bad considering we got up late.

After we got there all went pretty fast and a big blur.   I read my google reader while waiting and drank horrible tasting coffee yuk.  About 11 a.m I was called to the recovery room and had a happy but spacey husband who was glad the stone was gone.  Now it’s 4:30 pm and I am tired, spleepy, and on my way to a 30 minute nap at least or this mommy is going to get very grumpy.

All We are Saying... (Thought for a New Year)

My husband is going in to have a kidney stone removed tomorrow.  We have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m.  and I am not going to be a happy camper.  When I get up that early I am usually a royal grouch sigh.

My dear mother in law is coming over to sleep so she can stay and watch the kids for us.  I am in the process of washing bedsheets and pillow cases so that they are fresh.  Ah also the kids bathroom needs to be freshened up a bit, it is after all a kids bathroom. We are making dinner for her tonight as a thank you for coming over.  She lives about 1 hr away and even though she is retired I am sure she could think of other things she would rather be doing.

On top of it all I have the holidays on my mind because I didn’t get started when I wanted to this year in my preparations.  It is driving me batty to not have things the way I want them sigh. (whine)

Well our family felt the need to take our pick of treats that we are giving our friends for a test run.  You know we had  to make sure of the quality and how acceptable the gift would be right.

This year we chose this as our gift to make, easy and quick since time is running short for me this year. (whine)
