Drugs, Sex and A Little Rock And Roll

Ok, there was only drugs and a little bit of rock.

I realized why I was such a waste of space this weekend. Drugs. Now normally I'm not a drug taker. Unless of course they are prescribed medications, and then watch out. I'm Pill Poppin' Pammy.

My back had been cooperating with me for a while and then went back to it's old tricks so I took some muscle relaxants in order to...well....relax. I was hoping this would ease my pain as well.

I was rendered unconscious for most of Sunday. I could not lift my head off the bed, I was that far gone. Groggy, groggy, groggy. So, I have decided not to take those little pills unless it is right before bedtime because taking one in the morning (on an empty tummy no less) has the effect of causing me to sleep the day through.

This morning I woke up at my usual five a.m and got Stephanie up. Then I crashed again and awoke to find hubby asleep beside me. Hmmm. Odd. Wasn't he supposed to be long gone at work? Why yes, he was. Seems he'd driven to work and back again with a migraine. He's not feeling well, so off to bed with him.

I took Allison (and Ashley for moral support) over to the doc's this morning with our cache of urine that we collected over a 24 hour period. When the doc saw it he said, "Is that all you got from her in twenty four hours?". I answered in the affirmative. He looked at me and shook his head and sent us over to the lab to have her blood drawn.

This was Allison's least favorite activity. I kept reassuring her that it would be quick and semi-painless. The lab tech there has drawn my blood and she's very good at what she does. None of this fishing around inside your arm for a vein.

Thankfully I was right and it was a one poke deal. Ally didn't even cry. I was so proud of her. For their reward we stopped at Fred Myers and got them each a lunchable (haute cuisine for the elementary crowd) for their lunch today.


I dropped them both off at school and then I went to the gym for my swim. I didn't have to take the two daycare boys as hubby was home and keeping an eye on them. That helped me out a lot as I have to pay to put them in the daycare there each time I go.

Now we wait for the results from the doc.

Tick tock, tick tock.

    mmmmmmmm, lunchable-y!

    I still remember the joys of one Lunchable option - ham, swiss and caraway seed crackers with a little squeeze packet of 'herb sauce' (more like special sauce with parsley flecks in it).

    You know your life is sad and unfulfilled when you debate the gastronomic qualities of pre-packaged crackers, cheese and meat.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

The Boy

Will Soon Be Graduating From High School This means, in some small measure, I have successfully managed to get him through 12 years of school and to the age of 18 alive. No small accomplishment, that. Today he called for a ride home after he rode the bus most of the way to our house. As it was about 90 degrees outside, I obliged. I'm a good mom, plus it got me out of a very hot house and into the sweet deliciousness of my air conditioned vehicle. My oldest and youngest daughters went along for the ride and they spotted The Boy before I did. "What's up with his pants?" Indeed. The operative word for his pants was up . He wears those extremely skinny jeans and he'd rolled them up to about knee level and he was walking towards us with a grimace on his face. He was in pain. You see, five hours earlier, in the throes of near heat exhaustion, he rolled the legs of his pants up and then his legs swelled up. He was unable to remove his own pants or roll down what he...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...
