Mom Tale

Hey Everyone,

How are you all feeling tonight? I'm ok. Ok, so I'm not so ok. My body is hurting so much with arthritis and I can't tell what the change has been exactly. If it's because I gave up my bed for my wonderful mother-in-law, or because I'm out of pain pills? Regardless, I hurt and I'm sooo tired.

I'm not thrilled about my courses this semester. They are ones I don't have "set" assignments necessarily. I have to do a bunch of papers and research by the end of the semester, and that, for me is difficult. I need to discipline myself better.

Speaking of discipline, this morning my 10yr old ran up to me before school and said, "Mom, I forgot, could you sign this?" It was his report card he's had for a while. Needless to say, I was distraught at him waiting until Monday morning to show me his poor grades. I had to make my 14yr old cough up his card as well, and was even more sickened by the grades I saw on that one. Hubby and I are going to have a long talk with the boys tonight and come up with some serious discipline and reprimands. I hate being a mom sometimes. These times. It's not fun or easy!

My mother-in-law made biscuits and sausage gravy tonight for dinner. Yum! She's so good to us! She bought me a set of whisks for my kitchen. Mine were getting old and decrepid.
My mother's birthday was this weekend and I wish I could have done more for her. BTW, I'm sure she would love for all of you to know she's 63 now! Hee hee, sorry Mom!

My husband has been having some "health issues" this week and went to urgent care tonight. It looks as though he's getting a colonoscopy next week. Poor dear! I hope and pray that it is nothing serious! Pray for us, will you?

On a positive note, my 14yr old had his hand looked at today and they said it looks like it's healing really well on its own so he won't require surgery! Yeah!!! That's one less surgery this month! Our 3yr old daughter is having surgery on Thursday to repair a rip in her palate. I hope this is the last in her series of surgeries. She's had more than her fair share of surgeries and procedures in her little lifetime!

Well, that's all for now, my friends!
