Busy weekend

We made it through possibly the most trying weekend of my whole life! Me dealing with gallstones (Call to surgeon will happen later today) and a HUGE amount of laundry caused by all 3 kids getting head lice, Cat deciding to pee on the carpet in the living room, not one but TWO birthday parties to host, and then pulling the silverware drawer completely out, dumping the ENTIRE contents onto a floor that had not been washed in a week.

*sigh*.

I've never looked forward to Monday more in my entire life! Today will be a good day, no matter what the surgeon says!!

The boy and his costume.

Last year he wanted to be an "Elephant Speed Racer bad guy". We negotiated down to just "elephant"

This year was MUCH easier. He just wants to be a bat. A Scary Bat, NOT a baseball bat!

Can't wait to see what next year brings!

Very deep, I know.

My newest train of thought on becoming a Trophy wife!

I know that I do not post nearly as much as I"d like to, but probably more than you want me too, but I have to share this with everyone. (And I use that term loosely since I think I only have 2 people that actually read this thing!)

I have discovered yet another training tool to help me become that Trophy wife I know I am!

This one deals with my attitude. I know it happens around here, so it must happen other places, too. I tell my wonderful, Dear Husband something important to me and he tends to "forget" about it or black out on certain points, or deny the conversation ever took place in the first place.

Well, I used to get aggravated at him, but I've come to realize, like most things in life, it is NOT his fault!!!

He was just distracted by my overall awesomeness to fully comprehend what I am telling him. So next time he gets mad at me for not reminding him about DInner at his Parents, I no longer sigh or get mad. I just take pity and remind myself what he has to deal with in living with awesomeness of this magnitude and help him work through it. He is a terrific judge of character, he just underestimated my awesomeness!!
