Ended Well

Even though I was hurting I went to Rachel’s soccer game.  We dropped off my prescriptions and went to get drinks for the game first.  The game was two cities away so it was one long drive.  They redid the field though so we could sit in the van and watch the game.  I was able to have a cushy seat and be able to be out of the wind. 

Rachel did the best that she has in a long time.  She got more involved in the game and controlled the ball really well.  We were pretty proud of her.  I had french-braided her before the game and against her wishes.  I told her after the game that she did so well because she was working the braid.    I don’t think she was feeling it.

After the game we picked up my prescriptions and Kevin got a haircut.  He’s so hot when he has a fresh haircut.  Not that any of you wanted to know that!

When we got home Kevin and Rachel got their showers and we headed over to my parents for dinner.  I know, I know.  I said in my vent that I didn’t want to go but I decided it would be best to try to keep the peace.  And at least I would get to see my Grandma McSpirit and my dad. 

I was glad we went over.  We all had a very good visit.  We noticed that my Grandma McSpirit keeps my mom in line.  She is my mom’s aunt but she raised her.  Grandma M has no problem telling my mom to appreciate what she has and how good she has it.  And my momma listens and appreciates it.  It’s a side of my mom I had never seen before.  We loved it

When my mom makes us dinner she always cook something that I don’t routinely make.  And by routinely I mean ever.  Tonight we had meatloaf.  I’ve made meatloaf only once for my family.  I had to find a rockin’ recipe.  For one time.  For dessert we had cherry and apple turnovers.  I’ve never made them for my family.  It makes going to my ‘rents special for everyone.  At least it’s not just another meal!

Everyone is wiped out now and is chilling before bedtime.  Of course, the big dogs want to play now.  Oops…actually they want food.  That’s important!

Blah

It’s been a tough morning.  My stomach hurts sooo bad this morning.  It goes in waves.  I’ll have a strong dull throb on the right side.  Then a sharp searing pain that shoots down the center of my stomach.  That is followed with a raw sharp ache that settles in the upper left side of my tummy.  It had me in tears earlier.  Kevin got me an IB800 and I settled in with my heating pad.  I thought I was feeling better until I got up to use the restroom and almost fell over.  I hate this stupid cyst.  I go through all that crap to stop my abdominal pain with getting a hysterectomy.  Then a new pain develops.  I’m sooo angry.  I hate my body.  I feel like a horrible wife, a horrible mom, a horrible employee. 

On a happier note, Kevin had the girls and Matt laughing so hard this morning.  He was making voices.  It had them rolling.  Nothing like a morning of laughing to start the day out right!
