I am very ashamed of what I am about to say, for it verifies that I am a sham, a hypocrite, but this morning is the first morning that both of my children got up on their own accord (that I can recollect – though it may have happened the morning after I gave them their alarm clocks a few years ago).  I was hitting the snooze button on the alarm ,again, and again.  When I’m not 100%, I don’t mind being a snooze-button person.

I dropped the kids off and headed straight to the doctor’s office – where I noticed an empty lot.  Hunh.  It says “Open at 8” …maybe I’ll check the website.  Yup, open at 8.  I’ll head to the other office.  I found a beautiful parking space in front, got out of my car and walked right in…to an office meeting they were having.  Every.Time.  I was told to be back at 10, so I headed home and got back into this soul mate I call a bed.

At 10, I was back, and it seems that my infection just isn’t healing up very quickly.  I was given 2 more days and minimal walking…which could end up kicking me in the ass, because I can’t go back to school until I’m at 100%.  I’m going to need to get back in touch with the doctor and a more specific diagnosis.

As Ethan and I sat and worked on his homework, I reached a high point, and then quickly plummeted to the earth.  Ecstasy was reached as I made and ate a small plate of nachos.  My tasted buds were so excited that I made another.  OHMYGAWD, it was so good.  I have said goodbye to La Bodega nachos (most unfortunately) and I think I have found that sometimes, second (or fifth) place isn’t so bad.  I plummeted when I tried to install Google Chrome on my new Dell and got a virus, instead.  I couldn’t do a damn thing - black screen.  But this, too, lead to another highlight.

I had texted my computer friend, who got back to me and we joked around as we always do.  At one point, I offered him my child, to which he responded that he had too many kids since he got married and had inherited another one.  He wasn’t kidding.  HE GOT MARRIED!!!!  I am so very happy for him and this proves to me that love is still around.  He got my computer up and running, Ethan was absolutely amazed in watching him repair my computer from his house 30 miles away.  So, a good ending to the day, after all:  my new Dell is AWESOME and love still exists.
