13 days post op

Its so hard to watch people eat normal food, even if its food they shouldn't be eating. I should stay quiet, but I can't help pointing out the salt, calories, fat, carbs, etc... in what they are eating. I should learn that when people are eating around me, to remove myself from the situation. If I dont know they are eating one of my favorite snacks pre-op, then it won't bother me so to sit there and watch them and then ask for just one taste.

So far things are going OK. I was dog tired today. We were hit by bad storms last night and Bailey has a phobia so she drove me nuts. Shelby slept till 9 AM - so unlike her but I was thankful. Still, all day I was dragging and was dog tired. I even fell asleep on the couch while she was playing in her kitchen. I kept waking up because I was afraid she would "escape" and get hurt. Thankfully DJ came home a few minutes later and I had to straighten up house so we could meet the first sitter in person.

Rebecca came by tonight. 21 years old, on the waitlist for the radiology program in Madison. She says its about 2 years out. We like her, but aren't sure because she wont be staying. Course, none of our others have stayed long, have they?

Tomorrow Shelby and I go to a friend of mines I met on mamasource.com. She has twins, a boy and a girl, 19 months old. Shelby will have a playdate and I will chat with Carine. I am looking forward to getting out of the house other than errands and talking to someone who understands what I am going through with the child care situation. She is having the same issues for her twins.

Shelby's invitations should be out in the mail tomorrow at the end of the day. Thank goodness that will be done. One more To Do off my ever growing list. Elmo Party, here we come.

People at work have been emailing me. Its amazing how incoming mail brightens your day. Their words of encouragement are wonderful. Its nice to work somewhere that you feel part of a family. People sincerely care about each other.

Early day tomorrow, so I best be off to bed.
