Wednesday was the big day. I was worried about the anesthesia, but everything went fine. He woke up and wanted the IV out of his hand. And he had wanted to ride in a wheelchair since we saw one Monday, so he got to do that. As soon as we got in the car, he asked if we were going to Toys R Us.
I kept him inside for the most part of 3 days, and he's acting like nothing ever happened. Went to a birthday party Saturday and visited all day at Duke and Duchesses Sunday.
Back to the real world today, school and work - playing catch up.
I got a couple of pics from surgery day, and will upload them soon.

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;)

They're mad
*UPDATE* I pulled up the snapdragons. They were turning black. But the begonias have come back to life, and my roses are growing likt crazy.
my flowers that is. It has been Hella hot down here.
Yesterday was the first rain we have gotten in almost a month.
and did I mention that it's been HELLA hot. Now I understand that other parts of the country have been hotter than normal, but I don't think that anything compares to Lousisana weather. It ain't the heat, it's the humidity. And a heat index of 110 degrees is never fun.
I am SO looking forward to August (NOT)

MJ
I know that everybody else is talking about this, but seriously, how can you not.
He was THE KING of our day. I am so sad by his loss. I think there is a Michael Jackson song for everytime in my life. I can remember dancing and singing with my little brother in our parents living room. and that was 15-20 years ago. And then, just a couple of months ago, me and a couple of girls put Thriller on the juke box and danced to it in the middle of the dance floor.
He was theabsolute GREATEST and I don't think the musicians of today would be where they are with out his influence on the world.
His music will live on forever................

Who knew
that I was a barber.
Not too shabby for a first time with the clippers.
I figured why not make a one time purchase that we could use over and over again. I mean, I spend $20 at the barber every month, and he has cried in the chair 4 out of the 5 times. So I decided to give it a go.
Set him up on a chair with his booster seat in te middle of the living room floor. Laid a big blanket on the floor underneath his chair and went to town. He did whine a little, but he let me put the cape on him which was a good sign, because he doesn't like hair on his neck at all. Now, one thing about the cape is that it's plastic, well he tried to cover his face with his hands (and the cape) and I was afraid he was gonna suffocate himself. So I gave him a washclosh to hold over his face and it worked out great.
Now keep in mind, I didn't go to Barber school, but I think I did a pretty good job. There are a few places that could be touched up, but not so bad that we can't save it for next time.
