I Ran Out of Sugar

1.  I ran out of sugar yesterday morning.  As in completely out.  I can't remember the last time I didn't have sugar in my house.  And yes, I'm kind of freaking out about it because I keep thinking of things I want to make and every, single thing has sugar in it.

2. Husband's wound is not nearly as big as The Surgeon said it was.  It's more like 2 inches long and 2 inches deep hollowed out and then maybe another 2 inches deep non-hollowed.

3.  Either way, it seems like he's having more pain with this one than the last one.  I asked The Surgeon for some good pain meds so at least Husband would be able to sleep and was denied.  Apparently The Surgeon has to assume that everyone who comes in for surgery is a drug seeker.

4.  And so, with no good pain meds, the wound packing sucks.  The first two times I had to hold my vomit.  Not because of the sight of the wound, but because of the pain I'm obviously causing when I pack it.

5.  Husband has been playing xBox College Football 2012 A LOT.  Sometimes the people he plays keep their speakers on without knowing that we can hear them.  Good grief, but most of them have the foulest mouths I've ever heard.  And today, Husband kept getting typed messages from some kid who apparently doesn't know any words beyond four letters.  That's a lie.  He knew at least one five letter word, which he used repeatedly.  So, to all of you people out there who play the xBox, I'd just like to remind you that this is just a video game. 

6.  I am counting down the days until Carolyn can go to nursery at church.  Today she was a bigger bully than usual.  She was stealing all of the other kids' snacks and toys and then carting them off.  I'm pretty sure there were at least two mothers in the room who'd had enough of my kid by the end of church.

7.  There was a canned food drive for church yesterday.  Everyone was supposed to bring what they'd collected to church today.  Guess whose kid thought the canned food was specifically for her?  Carolyn picked up two bottles of BBQ sauce and was carting them up and down the hallways during Sunday School.  And I'll tell you what, she wasn't about to give them up.

8.  At the end of all of the meetings, I crawled around on the floor picking up Carolyn's leftovers.  Then, as I was walking down the hall, I thought I heard someone calling my name.  Turns out my skirt in the back was folded up around the upper thigh/lower cheek area.  Awesome. 

9.  And speaking of skirts, you'd think I'd learn not to wear knee length skirts to church when I have to attempt to hold Carolyn still on my lap.  It's like a constant game trying to figure out who you're flashing and when.

10.  Husband is still planning on taking his last certification test this coming Wednesday.  I'm hoping his wound will have healed enough that it won't bleed through his pants.  And also well enough so that he can sit up long enough to get all the right answers.

11.  I wish there was a way to get away from all of this.  I just want to pack up my little family, drive away, and forget all of the medical bills and the worries they've caused.  If anything else comes along, I might just go plain crazy.
