After his visit to the doctor, my son came home with the news that the doctor thinks he has a sliding hernia. She has referred him to a surgeon who he will see on Monday. We will know more after that. If it is something as simple as that (evidently pretty common in very active men, especially hockey players - which he is), I will be very thankful. In the exact words of my son, "I just want the junk to be right." Got to love a kid that uses that kind of lingo. Will post updates as we get them. Evidently he doesn't want me or hubby to go with him, but it is perfectly fine for his girlfriend to go. Jeez. When he does have surgery, you better believe his mom will be there whether he likes it or not. I am really getting a little tired of the "I am a man" speeches. Looks like he might be out of work for awhile since while he goes to school he is working for a moving company. Hernia much?
Must be back to school time.
How can I tell?
This was our yard yesterday morning. One last hurrah I guess. Silly kids.
Today was my daughter's first day of high school. She started school at a VERY large high school. And when I say large, I mean crazy large. I think I was more nervous than she was. I thought about her all day while I listened to my co-worker crying off and on throughout the day. Seems the jerk she married two weeks ago is already filing for a divorce. I would like to say I was surprised, but all of us saw it coming and can't believe she didn't. The worst part is that she is a single mother and she already turned in her notice and now wants to change her mind. Not sure how this will play out since after she called in that her child was sick and then ran off to marry this jerk (while her child was sick...umm...right) and then proceed to not come to work and do several other stupid things (because I guess she thought she had nothing to lose since she was going to quit work)...I think people were getting tired of it all and was glad that she was leaving. She is a sweet person, but not sure about her reliability or her sanity sometimes. It did take my mind off worrying about my daughter. I am such a terrific co-worker that when I went to Target at lunch I bought her some lovely tissue in a very decorative box for her desk.
After work I went over to the school to pick Tallulah up and the traffic was horrible! I was trying to get over to the side of the school where she was and totally got land locked by kids trying to get out so I sort of just gave up. Actually I was pretty scared one of them would hit my BMW so I just sort of sat there and tried to wait it out. Next thing I know daughter is calling me and telling me to stay where I am and she will walk the loooong walk to where I am. As she walked across the parking lot boys kept yelling, "whoohooo!" and "hey cutie!" Something tells me she is going to like high school just fine. Ha! She had boys offering her jackets (because it was cold in class) and boys letting her borrow pencils (she only took a pen) and boys letting her borrow money (because evidently, her lunch was $8.20 - WHAT?) Shame on me for thinking she could eat a school lunch for under 5 bucks! Wow!
Tomorrow it's band pictures at the stadium and I have a strong feeling we will get rained out once again. Saturday I will spend my entire day at the stadium cleaning the concession stand. I am so looking forward to that! Not!
Well....I gotta go grab Tallulah and head to the store. I think we will skip the $8.00 lunch tomorrow and just let her take her own lunch.
Adios!
