Just Another Day

I had a rheumatology appointment yesterday & a flu shot, yippee-skippy. It is funny when someone has chronic pain & the doctor pushing on "trigger points" gently feels like he's trying to kill me & yet, the nurse apologizing for giving me the shot, doesn't hurt me at all. It's been a couple days now & I've not dislocated my wrist so there's more good news. Oh & the doctor increased one of my medicines to be taken more often since it seems to help me the most. Now on to slightly less boring news.
A newer phrase from my almost 4 year old who is in speech therapy which we have no clue where he picked it up is: " You just freakin' me out guys". He also seems to insist daily on me watching a movie with him. I don't mind but this excuse is wearing thin with the family for me not getting stuff done. He also described his oldest brother's new girlfriend as the one with the pretty dress & hair & tiny brown nose (she is very tan & beautiful, not a brown-nose, just tan all over). She was wearing a beautiful dress for church after a family breakfast adventure at a restaurant. Bless her heart, she held up well dealing with all of us plus the grand-parents!
I actually, for once, made dinner for my family last night! I know, my apologies, I should have warned you to sit down before reading that shocking news. I use to love to cook meals for my family & bake too, but lately, for the longest time it's all I can do to pop a take n bake pizza in the oven! I suppose having back spasms & being in pain whether on a heating pad, lying down or in the kitchen cooking had its upside!
Tonight will be the 2nd night of Kids' Wrestling Club for our tiny lil Boog. He missed the first week due to conflicts in our family's schedule & then made only 1 of the 2 practices the 2nd week due to dental work & being numb still. He loves it & it is truly fun to watch.
Our Gumby went to a birthday party at a laser-tag place & had the time of his life. Dolly drove him there & picked him up too. She said it's so cool inside she'd like to have a birthday party there! That's cute because she's almost 17!
I've learned that when the African Gray won't stop impersonating a telephone ringing if I tell her, "Wrong number!" she actually stops. This is an invaluable bit of knowledge & I'm thankful the handy lil trick works! I'm now going to try to see if I can psychically get the laundry to move itself from washer to dryer then levitate upstairs for me & fold itself. I won't try to make it sort & put away in the correct person's drawer, that would just be asking too much! Wish me luck, I figure with all the stupid psychic commercials I've been seeing, if I can learn by osmosis then I have a fighting chance! Yeah, right, but I can dream I guess.
Well, I've got boys to cart to school despite declarations of stomach aches & such. I told them they've played opossum too many times & from now on are going to school & the school can call me to come pick them up if they are still sick when there. They aren't too happy about this. Good thing I'm not deploying "Major Pain" tactics as in the funny movie "let me show you a little trick take your mind off that pain" ha ha.
I'm in desperate need of scotch tape so will also spend the day looking for that. We have just slightly less than a million Halloween pictures that Gumby has drawn to put up all over the place.
Whoops, I'm still in my jammies & need to skedaddle so bye for now Dear Readers, Be Blessed!
