23rd – Lights or decorations (can be Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, any)

Doing this tonight since Im sure I wont get the chance tomorrow, besides, on the east coast it’s a half hour into the 23rd and here in central time Ive only got a half hour left till the 23rd.

I’m not sure if it can be any type of lights, or if they have to be decorative.  So, I’m going to post 2 pictures….

First one is Memphis from our plane window on our flight back home from NY in November

The second, which is a decoration, is our family ornament for this year….

So, now a recap of Stephen’s dental appointment.  He was really funny when the sedation kicked in.  Brooke mellowed out, crawled into my lap and nearly went to sleep.  Lil Stephen went into full on silly mode, he couldnt stand up, was yelling trying to talk, couldnt pick up toys because he said they were too heavy, and really started to slow down.  At one point he fell and hit his head on a table, I got it on video.  I tried to catch him before he fell so you cant see the actual impact but you hear it then you hear him laughing and repeating "I hit my head"….normally he would have been crying hysterically, instead he was laughing about it.    Anyways, it was finally time and I carried him tot he room, laid him down and walked out.  He eventually started to scream and screamed for the next 15-20 minutes, it made me cry.  I feel like such a terrible mother!!  In the long run they pulled the front left tooth and capped a back molar.  We have to go back for them to put sealant on his other 2 front teeth but they wont have to sedate him for that.  I asked him as soon as we left if they hurt him and he quickly answered no, so I followed up with if they scared him and he said yes.  I have asked several times since then, even waiting until the next few days and still he says no. So Im going to trust him and that brings me some comfort.  I still feel bad, like Im to blame.  I know I partly am, but I did my best.

What else is going on……..lets see…….well my sister is apparently having issues with her husband, I really hope she sticks to her guns this time and gets rid of his sorry ass.  Her and those boys would be so much better off.  I dont feel like getting into all that mess though.

Another small little complaint……..why cant people just listen to me when I tell them what to get the kids or what not to get, especially if I have told them someone else is already getting them that.  2 different people bought the exact same thing my mom bought and this is not the first time this has happened, specifically one of these people have done it before.  Now, Im not saying they did it intentionally, but still, it annoys me.  I made it a point to give different people different ideas……..so no ones feelings get hurt……..but apparently that doesnt matter.

Anywho, moving on……..today was my not so baby brothers 24th birthday…….we went out to dinner.  It was nice.  I cant believe we are getting this old already, I cant believe Im so close to 30 already.

Ok, I guess I dont have much else to say, Im tired, need to go put some clean sheets on my bed and call it a night.
