Well, I kept myself busy cleaning the house and doing 8 loads of laundry. I did sit down between each chore and rest, but I think my left pinky is the only thing that doesn't hurt.
But, I didn't obsess on it cause I was too busy. After I showered, I did my eyebrows (they really needed it). I didn't do makeup because it's just so humid and I still needed to go out and water. It would have just slid right off. I was going to wear a skirt, but decided to wear a cute pair of capris that I got from QVC and a new top that is kind of flouncy. easy child doesn't like it cause he says it comes down too low. LOL It doesn't. It's perfectly respectable. He's just being funny about his mom. But, flouncy doesn't lay against the tummy and looks better. Feels better, too. And is very feminine.
easy child worked until 9:30. At 9:45 his dad calls to find out if easy child is home yet. Then he said that he thought easy child was going to meet him at the hotel. The only problem is that he's not staying at the hotel he thought he was. So, I told him, drive over to the hotel you told him and look for him. Duh. Are all men really this helpless??? easy child ended up coming straight home from work like his dad told him to earlier when easy child talked to him. Have to wonder how the man gets dressed by himself.
His dad finally made it hear around 10:00pm and I was too tired and sore to give a darn what he thinks. And as I was sitting there looking at him, I realized that he's really aging. He's only 36. I'd put him closer to 40. Ok. I know that's not old. Don't start throwing tomatoes at me. But, when I remember him, I remember him as early 20's. He's mostly grey and his face is looking haggard. At least my hair is still red - even if it does come out of a bottle.
easy child is staying with him at the hotel tonight. He didn't want to, but his dad was getting mad. I was getting ready to have to tell him to leave if he didn't chill. (I don't do men yelling in my house. I was never safe in my home before and I WILL be safe in my home now.) I can understand his dad wanting him there, but easy child is a homebody and his dad really hasn't done much to foster a good relationship. easy child was still thinking about staying home, but as it's now 1:42AM, it looks like he's staying at the hotel.
difficult child is at a friends and I have the house all to myself. It's soooo quiet. easy child will stop by in the morning to say goodbye.
Abbey, when I wore a size 6 I weighed around 120. Add 70 to that (ok...73) and.... I can't make myself say it.
But, you ladies really helped me keep this in perspective. I'm so grateful for all of you.
