Just another day.......

So the oral surgery went fine. He bounced back quick. He doesn't let himself stay down for anything. By today, his mouth is sore and the inside of his lips are a bit irritated from the bars.

He traded in his rubberbands for wires today. The doctor lied. It's not anymore comfortable than it was before! lol He's actually having a harder time eating now than he was before. He has to go back once a week from now until the time he's healed. Anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. It's too soon to tell.

I do know that I will be the blended soup queen by the end of this! Last night he had a very yummy, creamy asparagus and chicken soup. He's not big on any of the nutritional drinks so I'm having to be creative. Did you know that plain yogurt and peaches in heavy syrup make an awesome smoothie???

On a different note, tomorrow is my boy's 10th birthday. He is so excited.

Instead of doing birthday presents we always do something fun. This year he decided that he wants to go to the zoo. He's been planning his day for several weeks now. The weather is supposed to be good......but hot! So long as everybody remains healthy we'll have a fun day. We'll have to remember to pack up daddy's blended smoothies and soups so he'll have something to eat for the day.

Oral Surgery......

How fun! Bubba goes in tomorrow to have his jaw repaired.

Think of me please.

Do you realize I have to put up with another 2 months of man whining???

Man whining is not cute. Especially when your not allowed to whine back.

I think he'll get really grouchy not being able to eat real food. It's already getting to him.

Maybe I should have my jaw wired shut while I'm there?? ;-)

I'll update tomorrow.

My Poor Husband

So, I blogged Friday about my feelings on softball. Well, wouldn't you know it. That same night, the dreaded thing happened. Bubba got hurt. Ugh....

So now I have a husband with a concussion, a broken jaw, a broken tooth and split gums.

This man is the most accident prone person. I should have known it would happen sooner or later. I know it was an accident and I didn't give him a hard time. I would never bully him into not doing something he loves just because he might get hurt. Not something like softball especially. It's not supposed to be dangerous! lol

Anyway, I had words with my mother over this situation Saturday morning. She was more worried about wether or not he'd be able to go to work than if he was ok. She's of the mind that you rule your man with an iron fist. Make him sit in a recliner 24 hours a day (unless ya'll are getting stupid drunk somewhere) as to not be exposed to any kind of potential injury in case, God forbid, he can't go to work and pay YOUR bills!!!! ***GASP***

Even if Bubba couldn't go to work, I would not turn to her to pay my bills so this makes it her business how????

And for the record, he DID go to work. After we got back from the hospital we slept for about 3 hours and he got up and went did some work for a senior couple in town because he knew they'd be waiting on him. I begged him not to but he did anyway. I sent Kaleb with him just in case. He could at least call me or 911 or something if he needed to. He ended up coming home within a couple of hours and going back to bed but still. It takes alot to keep this man down. He keeps me on my toes that's for sure. I just don't know what I'm going to do with him. It's a good thing he's so cute and I love him so much. ;-)

Softball

Love it or hate it, it's one of those things I expect to be doing come Spring. Well, not doing it myself, but watching.

My husband and kids love softball. The sport itself doesn't bother me. It's actually pretty fun. However, there are 3 things about softball that I don't like.

1. Leaving my house
2.People
3.Heat

Anyone who knows me, knows that those are 3 things I dislike immensely. I know. I have issues.

I really hate leaving my house. There ARE times when I'm really looking forward to getting out and doing certain things but for the most part, if you ask me to go somewhere or come visit you, you have to practically drag me out of my house. It's not that I don't want to, I just have to talk myself into doing it. lol Mostly, I hate having to drive.

Next, I have an aversion to people. I don't like being around alot of them at one time. No matter how nice they are or how much I like them. It is what it is. I can't help it.

Next, I don't like to be hot and I don't like to sweat. Hot, wet air is no fun to sit in. It's like a sauna. I don't like those either.

Thankfully, we have a short softball season. It starts off pleasant with nice weather. You know, sunshine and cool breezes. It ends in stifling heat and sweat drenched clothes. It's starting to get that way now. We have a few weeks left and I can't wait till it's over.

So tonight I'll be sitting at the softball field. Chelsey and Bubba both play. I'll bring my book and read between batters. I'll smile and cheer and do all those things I'm supposed to do while occasionally checking the time and hoping it's all over soon.

A Great Cajun Blog

I found this blog a few months ago and it's becoming one of my favorite places. If you were ever wondering about all things Cajun this is an interesting read.

We can be a strange bunch but you gotta love us. Right??

Figuring out this blogging stuff

Ok, so I've thought about creating a blog for a really, really long time. A couple of years actually. I can really procrastinate when it comes to some things. lol

First of all, I rarely have anything to say. Well, that's not entirely true. Sometimes my big mouth opens and doesn't know when to stop, so look out. Second, it just seemed like a big pain to get it all set up. The second reason is proving to be true.

I have a problem with doing things halfway. If I can't make it perfect then I just don't do it at all (like waiting so long to start a blog). I'm having trouble making it look the way I want it to look and I'm still trying out all the stuff so it most probably will be changing often until I get it the way I want it.

So besides all that, ya'll stop by often. Give this place some life. I'll try to find something interesting to talk about.
