Dr. Monday....

Today is dr. appointment Monday. Betsy finally has her urologist appointment for the kidney stone she had over a month ago. I don't know what we are going to find out that we didn't already know. Betsy has been perfectly fine ever since the incident, so hopefully the scans will be clear and she will receive a clean bill of health. (And I will receive a bill as well....)

After the appointment I'll have to rush home, as my friend down the street needs a babysitter for her 3 1/2 year old daughter. She usually has her mil watch her, but she has a doctors appointment too. I don't mind though. It will be nice to have a little one around. She is so cute too....calls me "Miss Sherry". That is one of the hardest things to get used to down here in the south....being called either a.) M'am (I hate that one) or b.) Miss Sherry. I feel like and elderly woman who should be driven around....

Wee one didn't know that she was coming over this afternoon because she wasnt' at home when my friend called. I told her about it this morning and she said, "Oh. Well, what is she going to be playing with?" to which I replied, "Well, I thought she could play with some of your toys." to which she replied, "Oh, well she can play with some of my toys from when I was a toddler....you know mom, I am saving those for my child some day." I suppose that was her little warning that they had better not become damaged in some way....lol.

We took the girls to see The Incredibles yesterday afternoon. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed that movie from beginning to end. I thought it was cleverly written, moved at a quick pace, and was one of Pixar/Disney's best movies in a long time. The girls enjoyed it as well. I think it would be a hard movie for young kids (6 and under) to sit through, being that it is long and there are no "cutsie" characters. But for our family, it was perfect. The coming attractions for "Madagascar" and "Cars" looked teriffic too.

I have a canker sore on my gum and it's driving me nuts. I hate that. A good friend of mine recommended I put a solution of maalox and benadryl on it. At first I was like, wth? But guess what? In her infinate wisdom.....she was right! It works like a charm....and apparently, it's a well known remedy, according to a lot of web information. Well who knew!? Apparently she did, and let me just say, she is *quite the fountain of knowledge! (*enter sarcasm here) pmsl.

I had "fruit on the bottom" yogurt this morning. I was thinking it was the kind that you had to mix up because the yogurt on the top was plain, but it wasn't (I found this out as I opened the protective covering on the top and the yogurt splashed up into my face and onto my lips). So, I decided not to mix it up, but save the fruit for the end, because you know how stingy they are with the fruit....and it was a store brand. Well, apparently this particular store brand is not stingy on the fruit, and I had tons of it....so much in fact that it was too sugary....if that is even possible. However, I managed to force myself to eat it....

I couldn't sleep last night, and ended up playing 5 games of Slingo. I just love that game....it's addicting. And it's calming as well....almost zen like. I played two games this morning, but couldn't find my "groove". So, I quit. How's that for an interesting bit of JBCoupe knowledge? I have really taken liberties with using the italic button this morning. I love that button. Of course, some would say, "Could you use that button any more? It's really annoying." To which I would reply, "Well this is my journal. If you don't like it you could move on...."
