Busy, Busy, Busy!

I always crack up over that phrase because we say it like the magician in Frosty the Snowman. *L* Mean little fella…he turned out ok tho’. Have to watch that this year with Logan, that one and Rudolph and Charley Brown-say-I’ve missed those!

Logan had to get shots last Friday. Dangstupidthings. He got 4 and had 2 teeny bandages on each leg. It didn’t help that they were cute little cartoon character bandages either.

Brie did NOT want to go in with him while he got the shots, said Carl would. (yep, that was Carls “in” again-that and the accident. Sigh.) I told her she had to. Period. You’re the mommy and you have to go. She did and it was fine. Not fun of course, but fine. But it’s scary enough for those little ones, they need mommy. She was afraid he’d hate her for the shots!

He was cranky and feverish for the next day and 1/2. Which I’m SURE had nothing to do with the shots as every doctor in the world says “Oh no, they won’t be bothered one bit by the shots.” Why the doc does not get struck dead by lightening for lying is beyond me…

My poor little man. It was odd having him cranky. None of us knew what to make of it! *L* But he’s all better now. He weighs 10 lbs and is 23 1/2 ” long. Every ounce is precious.

Yes. Carl is back. That’s all I want to say about that.

Dec. 2nd is my mom’s 70th b-day, however, my aunt and cousins are taking her out for a birthday lunch tomorrow and asked if I could “run” up there for a surprise for mom.

A 3 hr. trip -one way- does not in my mind constitute “running” anywhere. Sigh. They do this to me every time. They go NOWHERE, but since I live in the cities and therefore am a gadabout gal or something (in their minds) they ask this stuff all the damn time. The girls or I have appts every day this week and we are keeping Logan overnight Fri. night. (I asked) Plus we are going to mom and dads next thurs. for Thanksgiving. Hubs is gone tonight (dinner w/ the boss) and tomorrow night (band practise), Chels is sick w/ a cold. And I don’t feel that great either.

Be that as it may, I was of course going to go, still might-except now the weather is turning nasty and we are supposed to get rain/snow mix tonight,late,so Thurs. morning “may be a tricky commute.” Well hell. Super. Now I’m really getting cranky. To be there for lunch I’ll have to leave early. If it’s icy, even earlier and I loathe driving on ice.

So here I sit, not knowing ’til morning if I’ll go. I hate guilt. I feel guilted into going. I LOVE the idea, that would be a great surprise and perhaps if I hadn’t been and are so dang busy, I’d feel some excitement for it. I’m really NOT a terrible daughter. So why can’t I just say no?! According to Nancy Reagan it’s easy. *L* But I simply cannot dredge up excitement to drive up 3 hrs., in bad weather, and eat and then drive back 3 hrs. Even for my beloved mamma.

Am I just bad and selfish thru’ and thru’?

Oy.

Last week was like this too, very busy. Mike and Bonnie came up Sat. night. The guys wanted to practise and Bonnie wanted to see Logan. 🙂 We had such a great time. We always do with them and I was so glad to have Bonn see Logan before he got too grown up! She fell in love. It was funny. Funny/weird sort of, seeing her hold Logan, 13 years ago she was holding Katie and I was holding Chels,just teeny babies. Seemed like yesterday, yet it was my grandson and Auntie Chels was 13. *s*

Speaking of Chels, I just glanced over and she has her Christmas list typed up, it’s in 2 parts started with Badly Wanted (underlined) and next, Wanted. Then she has it totaled up. I think we should get her everything on it just for being so dang cute. *L*

I have been trying to get my Christmas decorations up for 2 weeks now. It’s early for me, but I knew I’d be extra busy so, and I have about 7-8 boxes of decorations. Needless to say I haven’t had time to haul it out and put them out. I’m starting to feel pissy about it. I Love Christmas (obviously) but every year, I feel more rushed. I have GOT to get more organized. I’ve not bought ONE present yet. Oh, I just realized, Logan will LOVE the train I put around the tree!! He loves bright colors and movement-the other day I got to Bries and she laughing, said: “He’s watching cartoons!” And he was! Little bugger, I couldn’t even get him to look at Grandma,so I laid on the other side of him and he tried to look around me to see the TV! *L* Grandma had to talk sternly to him. *snort*

My neck is all swollen, well my lymph nodes are-from sinus. I quit taking my ClaritonD, it just jazzed me up and my anxiety was high enough-but it’s my own fault I’m sick now. Could have cut out coffee, er, wait, no I couldn’t. Teehee. So actually I am hoping for snow! That takes care of my allergies. NOT freezing rain/snow mix tho’ thankyouverymuch. (yes of course I’m still feeling like I should go and mad at myself cuz I don’t want to!) Ain’t nobody can give me grief like I can give me grief.

Hubs and I are hunky dory again. I swear I don’t know what got into me. I decided if I’m going to be so insecure that I’d hang onto something and go on about it so, then I can just do something about it,so I’m going to try Yoga. Know why? Besides it being such a relaxing and etc. thing, Madonna said it’s all she ever did to stay in shape. *snort* Why I’d believe her is beyond me, or where I read it, I do not know, but it stuck in my head. Whatever she is, she is in good shape! Whatever works right? I’m actually looking forward to it. Since I’ve lost most of the weight, I mayaswell be in shape too. Besides I miss the energy I had when I was in shape.

Got to run. I need to get some stuff done here in case I go tomorrow, and check the weather.

Oh wait.

No. I’m not going. I am going to email my cousin and tell her no. This is ridiculous. Mom would think it was ridiculous for me to do this for heavens sake.

That’s it. I’ve made my decision.

I’m pretty sure.

*rolls eyes*

At one point in my life I was a very decisive woman. I wonder what the hell happened there?!
