Sleep is for the birds!!!

Well, I guess I'm only saying that because it's 215am and I'm at work waiting for my surgeon to show up so we can do an appendectomy.... They called me from the hospital at 120 and said he was on his way.... Liars... He lives closer than I do and here I am waiting after driving for 25 minutes, clocking in, and pulling all of my supplies and opening them all on my table.... Guess that's the way it goes.....

Hopefully everyone had a great weekend.... and a great Halloween.... I did!!!!

On Friday, Noah had a minimum day, so I left work after half day and picked him up.... What a nice treat!!!! I never get to pick him up from school and certainly don't ever get to go out to lunch with him.... We went to one of our favorite places, Portillo's.... We got our usual cheeseburgers and cheese fries... Noah got his chocolate shake and we sat on the open balcony and enjoyed!!!! It was so much fun... He told me all about his Halloween party that he had at school, and was expressing his excitement about going trick or treating that night.... After lunch, we went home and relaxed till it was time to go to my moms... It's our little tradition to head over to my moms for pizza and dessert and then go out trick or treating in her neighborhood..... Terri and another couple have been coming with us for years now!!!! Noah and Brayden looked so cute.... Noah was the joker and Brayden was Scooby-Doo.... After we trick-or-treated there, we were off to a party at our friends Frankie and Wills house. We ate, drank and were merry!!!!! Noah was the first one to pass out!!! He was so tired from such a busy day that he pooped out right on Frankie's couch! We hung out there till 2am or so... and then headed home.... It was time for bed!

Saturday, we slept in and then did some cleaning and relaaaaaxed most of the day... I went to Costco with my sis and found 2 new cookie magazines!!!! So I tried a recipe from one of them for apple pie bars..... AWESOME!!!!! I made 3 pans of them, and they were amazing!!!!! After my baking spree, we three headed over to my moms for a little surprise 19th birthday party for my younger sister Mellyza..... We had a great time just hanging out and cracking jokes like we always do..... It was a really fun time..

Sunday, we did absolutely nothing!!!!! How awesome is that???? Pretty cool I would say! I caught up on loading my pics onto my ex. drive, played a little GHWT, and even watched a little football with Mark.... The only bad thing about the day is the fact that I broke a tooth!!!! AARRGGHHH!!!! This tooth has been nothing but trouble.... It started years ago as an emergency root canal that unfortunately was botched when the dentist drilled all the way into my sinus.... Ouchie!!!! So after that guy screwed it up, I switched to another dentist, who had to re-drill... That was bad news because the tooth became very thin around the edges. The new dentist told me that there was a chance the tooth could break because the re-drilling made it so thin, but they would do what they could to save it. Well, after all their effort, the tooth broke anyway.... BOO!!!! So Monday after wearing a mask ALL DAY at work, I went to my dentist and they did a temporary patch and made it look decent until I can get the porcelain crown. Should be next month. Oh well....

In other news, I am so excited that this Wednesday we will be doing our first hip arthroscopy at the surgery center!!!! YAY!!!! I've been re-reading all my guides, information, surgical techniques and even just my basic anatomy on the hip so that I can be as knowledgeable as possible when we do our case. I will have two docs during the case, Dr. G and his partner Dr. D.... I'm really excited.

Well, here we are 245 and still no doc.... I am going to lay down on a gurney and get some sleep while we wait for my dear Dr. Chin. My sunshine! Till next time, have a great Election Day. Get out there and do your duty!!!!!!
