The GOOD:- For once I got the garbage can out to the curb BEFORE the garbage truck came by this morning...and I wasn't running...or barefoot...or bra-less.
- Someone returned my garbage can back to it's spot before I did. I think it was Bro. Zobell. Thanks, man.
- I paid less than 2 bucks a gallon for gas today for the first time in ages. Hooray!!
- The sun was shining and it was warm - not Arizona-in-November-warm, but warm nonetheless.
- Cade's having a great time in Ireland - other than the fact that his lovely wife is not there to accompany him, of course. He sent us an e-mail with lots of cool pictures which we poured over for Family Home Evening (Thanks babe, for getting me out of planning a lesson!)
- I got a good chuckle out of Adam and Jason's keyboarding "practice" earlier tonight. I felt compelled to copy and paste what they typed: JASON POOPOLAST NIGHT I POOPED IN MY PANTS. Aren't boys the best!
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. Mmmm.
The BAD:- I have this tooth that is seriously KILLING me. It's been bothering me off and one for a while but today the pain is definitely "on". It's been incessant and throbbing all day except for the 2 or so hours of relief that my 3 Tylenol/2 Motrin cocktail provided. I need to have another root canal done on this poor bugger, but I'm trying to wait until January so insurance will cover it. Think I'll make it?
- My hair. I hate it. Today especially.
- Cade's in Ireland. The ratio of adults to children here is 5:1. I'm the lucky "1".
- I'm out of whole milk for Rachel. Sorry squirt...today it's 1% or bust!
- Have I mentioned that my tooth hurts?
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. Oh dear....
The UGLY:- Rachel has "blown out" of every diaper I have put her in today. That's a less-gross way of saying "diarrhea." I can dress her up, but I can definitely NOT take her out.
- Tyler has "refunded" every meal he's eaten today. That's a less-gross way of saying "barf". At one point this was only classified as "bad". It got "ugly" when I came downstairs and discovered Tyler's puddles-O'-vomit (that's for you in Ireland, Cade) trailing from the family room to the bathroom (he never actually made it INTO the bathroom), one of which I stepped in. Jessica, we could've used your Barf Training Video at Family Home Evening tonight. Maybe Tyler would have made it to the bathroom sooner and I wouldn't have cursed. On the bright side, after using a gallon of Pine-Sol, my kitchen tile is cleaner than it's ever been!
- I feel like Tom Hanks on Castaway, tortured by tooth pain so severe he takes matters into his own hands. If I run out of Tylenol/Motrin, so help me...
- I ate about 15 pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today. YIKES!!
Tomorrow's Forecast? More good, less bad and
hopefully NO more ugly...at least until Cade gets back.
