I had to go to the hospital today for pre-admission work. The nurse that did all the work was very helpful. She had the same surgery last November. So, that was really nice to talk to someone who so recently had the same procedure. Especially since I am in "meltdown" mode. Last night I thought Steve was going to take me to the hospital and leave me. I am so worried that they won't be able to do it the easy way. I am so worried that I won't wake up. I am so worried that they will find cancer when they get in there. I am so worried...... As my husband says - they won't find cancer when they get in there - they will just find that dead animal he has been smelling lately..... funny isn't he...... I am also worried because with the labs they take they do a pregnancy test. Well, as I told the nurse - it better be negative. Not that I think we have anything to worry about but I have to take this little pill every morning and some days I don't do so well with the remembering thing. I am trying to talk Steve in to the big V - but all he says is " Why you have a hit on my nuts" I don't have a hit on his nuts. I just want to make sure we don't have another kid!!!!

Piper was so funny tonight. She is trying to pronounce words. It is the greatest. You can tell she wants to talk so bad. Hey - she is half Haneline - like this chick won't be a talker - yeah right! But I feel so bad for her. Her bottom is raw. I hate when they are teething and it makes them have bad diaper rash. She was screaming at a diaper change tonight. She took a big ol' dump in her diaper and within a minute she wanted changed and then she screamed! I took the baby wipes and rinsed them with water to get the stuff out of them so it wouldn't burn. I buy the natural care ones anyway but they do have some scent. She seemed ok with that. I then put straight vitamin E pill on her bottom and that seemed to help some too. She is turning into quite the monkey. Tonight she stood up on her beauty parlor chair and was dancing. Her daddy was so proud. He tells her she just might be the kid (trouble maker) he has been waiting to have. See he tells the big kids all the time to get in trouble (which he doesn't mean) and they won't do it. So he has picked Piper to be his trouble maker..... I don't think so. See the above picture to see the monkey~

You know I am the queen of list. Don't all people make list?? I have a list of random things I think of that I know I won't remember again. I have a list of movies I want to see. I have a list of to do things. I have a list for shopping at each different store. I have a list of passwords for a bunch of different website I logon to. I have a list of authors and books I want to read. I have a list of projects I would like to do "sometime" I just have a list for a list..... I think I have all these because I can't remember shit anymore. Before my darling daughter I could do pretty good. But now.... they delivered my brain in with the afterbirth I always say.

Ashley had her show choir clinic on Saturday and she loved it. She did a very good job. She was right on with her moves and lyrics. She got a t-shirt (the highlight), her picture taken with a frame and a goody bag and a chance to perform on stage. She was in heaven. It was well worth the money!

Riley was just Riley this weekend. If he could sit and watch TV and leave EVERYTHING he owns just lay around life would be grand! He did though learn how to detail cars this weekend with Steve. Riley would like to start his own business detailing cars so he is in his apprentice program right now.
