9/10/11

Hey ho!  Nothing really new to blog about today.  I just felt the need to blog on 9/10/11..  The numbers thing is kind of neat.  Anyway...  I've been really busy catching up on office work - there are a lot of new things happening at Church and we'll just say that the additional workload is "keeping me out of trouble."   Oh, and the computer was down as well - what fun.  I spent today with our GrandAngel which is always fun!  That kid is an eating machine.  I almost forgot what it was like having a hungry boy at home, he is exactly like my boys - the original eating machines.

Who'd a thunk that a half cc of fluid in my band would have made such a difference!  Mercy!  We went to a dear friend's home for dinner last night.  She served this amazing chicken, and sides to die for!  The woman can cook!   I had less than a third of this amazing and gloriously moist chicken breast before my little lady hiccups reared their ugly heads.  OK, I know hiccups don't technically have heads, but you get the picture.  I enjoy reading how folks with a band get that "nudge" - that sign - that they're reaching the limits of the pouch.  I've read that some get a pain in the shoulder, some sigh, get runny noses - I get these teeeny, quiet, little "lady hiccups"...   They're so quiet and dainty..   The weirdest thing....

Our Baby's team lost their football game today.  He hasn't been playing since camp though.  During camp he had some dehydration issues and actually had two visits to the emergency room (one in an ambulance..)  He doesn't have medical clearance to play yet.  It seems he's experiencing "metabolic" issues which have caused him to lose quite a bit of weight and prevents his body from utilizing liquids normally - causing the extreme dehydration when he's active.  The word "activity" doesn't begin to describe what really happens at college football camps in August.  Anyway, he is being tested for thyroid issues - Graves disease runs in our family - and may be out the first four games.  I'm OK with that.  I'd rather see him cheering on the sidelines than visiting him in the hospital - It's a mom thing...

I've given some thought about how I want to commemorate the tenth anniversary of  9/11.  We will be attending Mass tomorrow, a Mass of remembrance.  Then, I plan on doing what we always do on Sunday.  Call our parent and tell them we love them, and cook a delicious meal to enjoy with family and friends.  We will toast each other.  Toast our friendship and our love...

We will take a day to embrace the gift of simply being together.....

Until Next Time...
