Stupid machine

I bought this neat slushie maker a couple of months ago after seeing it featured on the Today show...well DON'T buy it! Maggie reminded me I had it after I kept going to the store to buy slushies for her as that is the only thing she is drinking at the moment. So, into the basement I went to get it out and use it for the first time today. The thing does not work....it turned the liquid a few times and then stopped. After going online and reading reviews this is a common problem with it and people do not like it. HOW ANNOYING!!!

Feeling Better and Dining Room.....

Maggie is feeling a bit better today. She still doesn't want to eat and I have to remind her to drink but otherwise she is MUCH better than she has been. Maggie says 'thank you' for the gifts that she has received.

Our new furniture for the dining room arrived today and of course I REALLY like it :-} It took a while to find some curtains that I liked to use as an accent in the room and finally found some last weekend. I spent the morning putting up the curtain rods ~ yes, I drilled pilot holes and used the wall anchors { Tim} so they are up properly. I did not want a traditional china hutch and the server I found just works perfectly. It has enough space to hold all of my stuff and I even have an empty drawer still. You can't really see much of it but it gives you a general idea.

NEW Personal BEST ~

Andrew had a meet today, which I did not attend as I was home with Maggie, and he had an AMAZING race. He ran a personal season best.....a 5K in 18 minutes flat! {23 seconds faster than his previous season best} He placed 14th out of 56 runners. He has really worked hard this year and it is paying off ~

Not SO Happy Camper...

Maggie is still have a rough time with her recovery. She did sleep throught the night which was a good thing. She was up briefly at 6am, had a drink and some medicine and was back to sleep until noon. She is resting on the sofa watching tv with the ice pack on her neck. She is doing great with having sips of liquid so that is a very good thing.

It is now 1:30 and she is asleep again....

So long tonsils....

**UPDATE: She is finally in a deep sleep. I picked up her new medicine this evening and it is working. Hopefully, she will have a restful night ~ me too! :-}**

Maggie had her tonsillectomy this morning. The procedure went well and was very quick. The doctor said that her tonsils and adenoids were worse than they had anticipated so removing them was definitely the best thing to do. Her recovery, on the other hand, is not as smooth. She is in a lot of pain and discomfort. We have called the doctor to get a different type of pain medicine as what she has doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully she will get a few good naps in today and she rest comfortably. I did not take my camera with me to document the pre and post surgery....

Why oh WHY am I doing this??

Yep, I am having a garage sale this weekend. I can honestly say this is the first time I REALLY am not looking forward to doing it. There is stuff from the remodel and a bunch of other stuff that needs a new home rather than the dump so hopefully my trash will be someone else's treasure. What ever is left at the end of the day Saturday is off to GW store...I am keeping NONE of it.

I am SO not ready~hopefully I will find some motivation in the next few hours otherwise I am stuck.

D@mn Geometry

Ok...having Tim away is REALLY hard on nights like this. I am SO not a math person and Andrew needed a bit of help with tonights homework. Once I got beyond the fact that I had NO idea what I was looking at....I was actually of some help. We figured out what he needed to do but the answer just didn't look right.

So we made a call to Uncle Scott ~ he has his PHD so surely he could help.....if he only was home to answer the phone! Then we made a call to grandpa and luckily he was of help and confirmed that yes what Andrew was doing was correct and so although he thought his answer was wrong he was correct. PHEW.....did I tell you I am NOT a math person??
