So, I'm sick. I've been sick since Wednesday. Hence, the lack of entries. I don't know what I have, so don't ask. At the beginning of the week I was told a possible kidney infection and put on drugs. Then, when those didn't work, my doctor was concerned I had appendicitis so on Friday I was sent for a "stat" CT scan and bloodwork. I'm writing this so you probably already came to the conclusion that I did not, in fact, have to go in for an emergency appendectomy yesterday. Now my doctor is at a loss as to what my ailment might be so that's always comforting. Anyway, my stomach hurts and my back is killing me, but I just ate a meal for the first time since Wednesday so I think I'm on the mend. And, I lost about 4 pounds and as my BFF reminded me "I'm only one stomach flu away from my perfect weight." (this is a quote from The Devil Wear's Prada, Jenner doesn't think I'm fat. At least, I don't think she does).
The exciting news is that in the midst of my suffering, Dan went to pick up our new car. Yep, you read that right, we got a new car. And, it's a 2008 MDX. I know you're all confused because the last time I wrote I said we were a) getting a Honda Pilot and b) waiting until Memorial Day to get said car, but my husband, the figurer and finagler, figured and finagled our way into a brand new fully loaded MDX. This car is seriously amazing. I can say "air conditioner 70" and a lady will come on, repeat my command and then the air conditioner magically turns to 70. It's so cool. Don't worry, we will have this car until Connor is 20 so you will have plenty of time to check it out. It's silver with black leather. Simply beautiful.
Some other highlights of the week:
-Tuesday I came home from work just in time to see my son turn to the side and puke up all the popcorn he had just eaten. Obviously Rachel was thrilled that he waited for me to come home to puke. Me, not so much.
-Dan finished his personal statement on Tuesday. It is just in rough draft form but put together enough for him to give to the people who are writing his letter of recs. He actually gave his first letter of rec packet to one of his prof's Wednesday. The application process for dental school officially opens May 15. He will apply at the end of May when his grades from CSUS for this semester are released. We're getting close!!
-My mom went to the grocery store for us two days in a row. Who else can you mention that graham crackers and sprite sound good and they get up and go to the store for you but mom?Thanks much mama.
-My Dad watched Connor all day Friday. One of the first things Connor said to me when he came home was "I had gum with grandpa" (see prior post re: my forbiddance of gum). Then he said "me not spposed to have gum." Nice try Dad, can't keep anything a secret with this kid.
That was about it. Hope your week was a little better than mine.
Loves to all.
