I HATE that i've been ignoring this thing lately, I've just had so much to do! Stuff with doctors and appointments for the kids. It's only Tuesday and I am WIPED. My surgery is coming up SOON so i've been getting ready for that. I have to go on a two week liquid diet. Something about shrinking my liver. My entire stomach is going to be yanked DOWN and back into place. And then they reconstruct the bottom of my esophagus. Or something like that, lol. I do know that the whole area (diaphragm, bottom of esophagus and part that connects to my stomach) needs to be "re-done". Ouch. I think about them yanking my stomach down with pliers or something and it grosses me out. Glad I will be asleep for that. I still have a few pictures of the flooring we did to post on here, but really....i've been so pressed for time. I do all of my Facebook updating on my Blackberry these days. Classes are starting for me next week. And i've got Lily's ballet stuff, costumes and helping her practice for her first show in May. Not to mention her Preschool stuff! I've got to get 12 eggs and goodie bags ready for her classmates for Easter. And knowing all of the other parents, I'm going to have to come up with something good. I don't know what it is about private school. It's like every parent goes over the top when it comes to Holidays. Lily got SO many little treats, goodie bags and things for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day and i'm feeling like i'm the last mom in the classroom who hasn't come up with anything cute to do for the kids. So its my time to shine. I've got to turn in eggs for the kids Easter Egg hunt and i'm thinking I will do some kind of cutesy goodie bag to add to that as well. Blah. Any ideas? I absolutely love her school and she loves it as well, but I still feel so out of place there sometimes. It's insane to see these other mothers all decked out in their yoga or tennis outfits, with nannies and Lexus' and whatnot. CRAZY. Of course, not every mother is like that (happily, there a lot of regular ones like me) but you send your kid to private school wondering if those private school parent stereotypes really exist and I am here to tell you that THEY DO. They absolutely DO. Even at a Christian school. Go figure.
Well, i'm just a regular mom. And thank God for that. I'm too high strung for yoga and cant swing a tennis racket to save my life. I also could NEVER afford a nanny, which would be sad anyway because I really love spending time with my kids. So ohhh well. But this regular mom has definitely got to get some nice goodie bags together. I can't believe Easter is less than 4 weeks away. Where does the time go?
