Meanest mommy

The famed birthday party which I was dreading wasn't too awful. I allowed Russell to come because they were expecting our whole family and I figured if I showed up with only half the family (G & me) that the neighbors would be hurt, so I told Russell he was going to the party because we didn't want to hurt the neighbor's feelings.

That wasn't all of it though. I hate to see him suffer and he's totally bummed out right now about school and getting grounded for it and all that. I didn't want to give him Carte Blanche to go have fun, but I wanted him to have some. I have no idea if that makes sense. He did have to forego the Cub Scout meeting at the State Museum, but that was pretty reasonable to both of us, I think.

But at any rate, someone at the party was coming down with the flu. As a result, we are all sort of fighting off some semblance of the cold from hell. It may just be an early version of the flu, but, so far, I've had the Evil Agonizing Temples, accompanied by the Odd Sinus Tickling, threesome-ing with their close and intimate friend, Parching Thirst.

The problem with Parching Thirst is that I end up drinking about a gallon of water before bedtime which means I am going to be up and down half the night peeing it out of me. Sucks to be my bladder tonight, ladies and germs.

However, the good news is that passing water, gives the bad germs a one-way trip out of my body.

Oh, and I was starting to totally freak out for a bit. I kept getting these really super high sugars. So this morning, I was peeing and poking my finger and it occured to me that the expiration date on the blood strips was last month, so no wonder I woke up to a fasting on there of 167. My sugars are always under 125 fasting and I was trying to remember what I ate that was so bad and then realized nothing. Then I found some current strips and tried those and my sugars were 115.

And I'm in size 20's again. hubba hubba ding dong
