TGIF

Happy Friday!!

Seems like there is just something different in the air on a Friday. Everyone is in a better mood.

No plans for this weekend YET, but I'm sure I'll be hangin with the BFF on the compound.

I'm kinda bummed though. I started this job in January and really enjoy it. I think I do a pretty good job, and get along great with the people I work with. It is a nationwide company, and we are just one of many offices around the country. Every year they hold an annual meeting at the home office in Milwaukee. I was really excited when I found out about it a few months ago. I was trying everything I could to get my bosses to send me. It would be beneficial to me just to give me a beter understanding of what I'm actually doing now. Not to mention the fact that the 3 girls in the office that I get along with are going, and there will be parties and good times had by all---------except me. Alas, my bosses are slackers and waited until the last minute to book the flight, so I didn't have the money to send myself (which I shouldn't have to do anyway, but that's besides the point).

So they are leaving tomorrow for 5 days, and I'll be stuck here, by my self. SUCKS.

But I do have something else going on next week, and I guess you could call it exciting.

Andre' is having his tonsils out next Wednesday. It all started about a month and a half ago. I noticed that he was clearing his throat more than normal and just so happened to look in his throat, and what do you know. His tonsils are freakin huge, like almost touching huge. I mean, how many times to you actually look in your kids throat, NOT VERY OFTEN.

I called the doctor and went in the next day. He checked for any sign of infection, but didn't find anything. He referred us to an ENT which I absolutly love. She diagnosed him with sinusitus and gave him a round of antibiotics and wanted to see him in a week and a half to see if any of the swelling had gone down. IT HADN'T.

Since he had no other symptoms that I could see, or that I thought had any relevance to his tonsils, I wasn't sure what the next step would be. She gave me an article to read, and explained some things that now made sence. She told me just to keep an eye on him and note any change. I left there thinking that we weren't going to do surgery.

The next day, her surgery coordinator called to set up the surgery...gulp.
I called her back the Monday, and bit the bullet. If he needs them out, it's better to do it now rather than later.

So here we are today. Yesterday I went to the ENT's office to sign the consent forms. Monday morning we'll do the Pre Op at the surgery center. And Wednesday is the big day.

I know he'll be fine, but it's a mother's job to worry.

Be strong my little T Rex. You get to eat ice cream all day;)
