Hunting Season

Hunting season is once again upon us. It doesn't suck like it used to. In fact, this year I was ready for it to come. . . ready for a break. I think Kory needed it too. After camping and summer and being so danged tired of being tired and busy, it was time. Kory hasn't been feeling the best for about a month now, and the house is a mess, and I am cranky-ish, so it is a good thing. I got to spend time with my sister and her family last night--what fun. No Kory around wanting to go home--it was just us--and we got to visit and just be. That is a luxury I think. Although I didn't sleep well last night. . . I was a little bit nervous--didn't even turn my fan on so I could hear if the girls were scared or sad or if some crazy intruder might bust into the house during the night (sucks to get home after dark with no lights on in the house!). Zoe laid at the top of the stairs for about 2 hours waiting for Kory to come home. She didn't like it. It was kinda sweet.

So I had all these plans for today--mainly clean out the girls' closet. Do you think I got it done? Heck no!! We went shopping and picked up a new toy for each of the girls and then picked up lunch and came home. Then I proceeded to sit on my hind end until about 6:00 when I decided we needed to go to the store to get cream for our new ice cream maker. Our friends got one and take it camping with us--it's soooo yummy! So, we bought one today, and I am sitting here listening to it (it's really loud!) and typing away. Actually it's drowning out the sound of the tv which would make my ADHD kick into high gear and then I wouldn't be able to type anything that made any sense (oh yeah--I do really think I am telling a better story right now-ha!).

It's been raining off and on today. In fact, at one point Zoe was still outside and it was really coming down. She had to come to the window downstairs and give me the most pathetic look and shake the water off of her so I would let her in. Whoops!

Mom is now half-way through her treatment. 16 more to go. She's doing fine, but really tired. I can tell it's wearing on her. The stitch on her one incision that was bothering her so bad finally disappeared, so that's good. She asked the nurse about it again, and the nurse looked and it was gone. She is a little burned, but the doctor said that's typical. She's been putting on the special lotion and aloe vera everyday, so she's very careful to follow everything she's been told.

Time to log on to the camping forums and chat it up with my online friends. They rock. They make me laugh and help me keep my sanity sometimes when I need it.

Maybe I'll do the closet tomorrow. . .
