Busy day....

Today is the big day....kidney testing! Betsy went into work with her dad this morning, as the testing facility is just down the road from John's office. He is going to take her....::gasp::..I'm a little nervous, as he has never done anything like this on his own before. Don't get me wrong, he is a great dad, but this is usually something that I, or both of us take care of. I'm sure he will do just fine....Betsy has been having intermittent pain, so it will be very interesting to see what they find. I just pray the testing goes quickly and easily! (He just called me and they only left 15 minutes ago....there are three different offices listed on the paper and he wasn't sure which one to go to....I TOLD him last night which one....dear Lord....)

While they are at the testing place, I will be at the vet with Percy. He is having a problem and I'm not sure what is going on. Let's just say it involves his bladder, my carpet, and lots of paper towels. Thank God for home steam cleaning machines. He is being confined to the porch until the matter is settled....

We are getting our couch and table today....yippee! I'm so excited. I moved the dining room around yesterday, and also steam cleaned the family room for a nice, clean palette to work with. The Salvation Army is coming on Thursday to pick up the dining room table and loveseat....I should throw in the two bags of toys I have had in the back of my car for months that I've been meaning to take to Goodwill. John reminds me every time he opens the back of the van. I keep forgetting....

My back hurts so bad that it is radiating down my legs....I must have injured a disk or something. I have taken some pain medication and I hope it kicks in before I have to drag the dog to the vet. He does not do good on tile floors, which means a lot of picking him up. Wouldn't that be a scene if both of us fell on the floor....we would both just lay there and whine, waiting for someone to pick us up....although hopefully I would retain my bladder control....

I have tons of sewing to do today between movers, doctors and vet appointments. Not to mention having to help wee one study for the big "polygon quiz" tomorrow. We spent last evening going over things. I think she will do fine if she can get over her nerves. I have never seen someone so tightly wound over tests. She is one of those kids that absolutely freeze when the test is put in front of them. I could ask her questions all night long and she will answer them, but the next day the same questions can be on a test and she will forget everything. If anyone has ANY suggestions on how I can help her to get over this.....please let me know. I hate to see her nervous all the time. She has been put on Zantac because her nerves have caused her to have acid reflux. I was amazed when the doc said that lots of kids her age are on it. The funny thing is that she is such a mellow, happy child. She is so laid back most of the time....it makes me feel terrible to know she suffers like this.

Okay, time to get another half hour of sleep before the day begins....later gators....
