Got me a "Plan"

I'm getting my shite together. I am sure Mom will be happy. Jamey and I came up with a daily plan that should keep me on track with my household chores. This weekend I am also going to be tossing some stuff on the curb for the semi annual bulk pick up. It's going to be hard, because, ya know, I might need it some day.

I know I have to get anal about cleaning and sticking to my schedule. I needed the routine--but my hippy carefree side was dragging its feet. Hoever, by sticking my schedule--I may have a weebit of time to blog in the motning, but really won't be seeing lot's of new stuff till after 7. Oh and I have a new bedtime: 11pm. No more staying up past midnight or longer. Poot. BUT, the kids have a bedtime too--finally--we did have a bedtimefor Mic but after Lorelei was born we fell out of that routine. WHen Mic overheard us talking about nap time, his head spun around, "What? A nap? ME?"

Today we spent the day out and about. First was Jamey's follow up appointment from his knee surgery. All looks fine--he's still in the immobliser, BUT he can drive now. So it's back to work for him Monday morning! Thank god--having him under foot this week was "trying" at times. Then it was off to get the oil change and a fun filled few hours at Peter Pipers Pizza.

Craig leaves tomorrow morning--the kids had tons of fun with him when he was here and we are going to miss him SO MUCH.

Playing Nursemaid

I've been busy taking care of Jamey since his knee surgery on Friday.

This is the cyst he had removed. He's had it for years and years but fairly recently it's really started to bother him.

A side view: isn't huge?

Although now with a 3 inch incision on his knee and an immoblizer coupled with mind searing pain, he isn't so sure he should have had the surgery after all. On day four though, the pain isn't so bad and he's beginning to ease off the vicodin. I'll have to take a picture of the the incision after I change his bandages tonight.

Having one's knee immoblized sure makes you appreciate having bendy knees. Simply going to the bathroom presented issues and pain and contortions. Luckily he could pee standing up. And NO ONE told us the side effects of GA--massive amounts of gas! Goodness.
