A day full of ups and downs

The day didn't start out promising.

Down
| One of my incisions looks infected. (I'll spare you the picture)
Up | A quick call got me into the Dr.’s 3 days early.

Down | I had to drive all the way out to campus to pick up my books.
Up | Amazingly there wasn’t a line!

Down | I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn and couldn’t go back to sleep.
Up | I used my time wisely and got a lot of housework done early--hobbling all the way.

Down | I forgot to eat breakfast.
Up | I was treated to an Indian lunch… and dessert at a cupcake bar! (The Twisted Red Velvet cupcake is to die for... and a must to split with a friend)

Down | I seriously need to clean out my car and vacuum between the cushions of my couch. Guess where all that peeling skin went? *Ewwww*
Up | I'm heading out tomorrow to buy this nifty thingamajig to ease my cleaning woes.

Down | I'm constantly getting my butt whooped playing Mario Kart Wii against my kids.
Up | I can send them to bed for beating me.

In the end, it's good to be the mom.

I loved Mario Kart back in the day. I'd love to see what it's like on the Wii.

Hi Elizabeth,

I finished my latest post with this words today:

Life goes on with its ups and downs or ebbs and tides...

Glad you are okay. But the mom a little "veteran" nowadays, lol.

May you recover soon.

Love and hugs, Zeynep xx

Okay that wasn't even nice, now I should offer to send you some. Damn I hate my smart mouth. : ) Love ya, hope that incision is better.

Up: You're getting a cool vacuum.
Down: When did we get old enough for that kind of shit to be cool, or considered an 'up'???



[[[Surely you know that I am included in the dorkiness level, as I have blogged about my vacuum at least twice now]]]
