nice.. relaxing…day… *yawn*
Today was nice.
Friends of ours (two college girls that babysit for us occasionally and worked with us a Darien Lake and now work for Dave at the Rockets) offered to take Maya and Paige to the zoo for the day. So of course, off they went. They had a really great time and came home exhausted and dirty. There is a playground at the zoo that they evidently spent alot of time on. Anyway, it was really nice to just be in the house by ourselves today.. very relaxing.
We cleaned up in the morning, and i got to set out some of my new stuff! And then when the girls left we had some alone time *wink*, and ordered a pizza and watched a few episodes of Weeds. We are on season 2 of the DVD’s. Mostly we just relaxed because David’s ankle is still really swollen.
I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but Dave’s ankle has been the size of …i don’t know.. a grapefruit, since Friday. Yesterday I took him into an Urgent Care center (basically a non-emergency clinic) to have it looked at. It’s not broken, but they believe it is Gout. I guess it’s when you’re body can’t metabolize uric acid well enough and it basically deposits in your joints.. Anyway they gave him a prescription for something or other, and told us to use heat, not ice as we had been using, and to elevate his ankle. We are doing all of those things, but really have yet to see a major improvement.
He better get well soon, because I need me a dance partner for Saturday.. which is my cousin, Jennifer’s wedding!!!!
Speaking of that… When I called my aunt’s house today I was greeted with a big.. THE BRIDE IS IN THE BUILDING!! It’s so fun! I’m really excited for the wedding.. I can tell that she and her fiance, Matt, are really happy together! My girls are also flower girls in the wedding and are really getting excited for it to come.
Anyway, my head is killing me.. nothing unusual…. but I really should get going and put the munchkins to bed. Monday morning is coming way too quickly..
My dad gets gout in his big toe. Have him lay off the salt too if he’s a big salt eater. My dad is too and when he binges himself, he flares up.
