Battle Hymns of a Hot Mess Mom

My wonderful neighbor brought over some lasagna so that we would have dinner tonight without much thought. So very kind of her. Kids and I went riding this morning and then COH called. My picc line will be inserted at 7:00am on Monday. Good f*cking grief. I’ll be admitted to the hospital afterwards but nothing will actually happen until much later in the afternoon. So I just get to stay there the whole day. I did however see an upside to this; the Pokémon Go game at COH is strong. There are three gyms and at least a dozen Pokémon stops to collect from! This is what being on disability is like…you go from back to back meetings where you barely have time to pee to absolutely nothing except for Pokémon Go. I see how the pendulum has swung to the other side. But then again…I could have gone to become a hoarder. So let’s count the blessings here.

In laws are here tomorrow afternoon. Need to hang up new wall decals still and her ribbons. I felt like garbage today so besides riding in the morning my tank was empty. I have three things that I absolutely want to do before I head to the hospital on Monday. I made an update post to the meal train that was setup for our family when the cancer first came into our lives – it gives me the ability to thank my wonderful community and friends. Though no one enjoys bad news – see celebrate the good news together and send inappropriate memes when the bad news comes. The last great one I got was a seal slapping their tummy with the caption “Move over hot girl summer; it’s seal summer now!” It was perfect for the mood and made me laugh. There have been other really great ones. The best one today was a runner with caption “Please be a fart!” Dogs, Cats, Otters…farts…all welcomed in my DMs haha. Laughing is way better than crying.

Looking at L tonight sitting on the couch made me tear. My little baby is now a big kid. The time flew by. This will be the last year these siblings will be in the same school until high school. That breaks my heart a little. Speaking of – I need to get the first day of school frame done. That’s our tradition. I should be home before first day of school but just in case – I want it to be ready. I need to head off to bed so that I can get all this stuff done in the morning. I’m just about packed just missing a charging cord and a battery pack for J. The rest should any all squared away.
