I woke this morning way before the alarm went off. I had my running clothes ready. I wasn't too excited to put them on. But I did.
I started jogging at 7:00 am and didn't get halfway down my street before I had to turn around and come back home. Defeated. I have felt crummy ever since Saturday night and haven't been able to run since that morning. Bummer.
Instead I took a long hot bath and got ready to take E to her Dr. appt. She had to see an ENT. Before I left the house, I made an appt. for myself with our regular doctor. It's weird, I rarely take my kids to the doctor and I rarely go myself. However, we've been in his office 3 times in the past 2 weeks.
The ENT confirmed what we suspected. E's tonsils have to come out - not because of strep, but because they stay so swollen, she has a hard time swallowing food. Suddenly, our summer plans are majorly altered. In these last few weeks of summer, we were going to take a trip with Eric, go to the beach and go to church camp. She can have the surgery next Thursday and still make it to church camp and have no restrictions when school starts - but, Eric won't be here for her surgery. Or, she can wait a few weeks and miss camp.
Guess what? She's choosing next week. Eric was a little deflated.
While in the ENT's office, Eric got a call that his uncle passed away. Now, we're heading to Virginia over the weekend. E will miss part of the play she's been working on. She's really being a big girl about it.
I head to my doctor appointment and instead of focusing on what I was there for, he was more concerned with my headaches. So, I got a prescription for a daily medication that I am NOT crazy about taking.
And just so O wasn't left out, he went over her allergy results with me. She is slightly allergic to tree nuts (not to be confused with a peanut allergy - did you know peanuts are beans?) and we made sure we are now armed with Epipens.
So, that's our day. I'll be slightly glad to see it end.

I'm sure somewhere in the midst of all this, O has gotta be saying some things that make you smile ;)
Bless your heart, I hate those days that seem to have one thing after another, all to combine and leave you feeling defeated.
Praying God lifts your spirits in th emidst of everything, and you have a safe trip.
