Tuesday was another eventful, literally. I took 1/2 day off for Tuesday morning. Kelli had a tube down the throat scheduled. I had to be the designated driver. Been a long time since I was a designated driver (smile). She continues to have a very nauseated upset stomach if she doesn't take prevacid. The test came out clean, so it's back to taking more meds for her. Everyone continues to ask if she could be pregnant. Sigh. No. I had taken care of that about 6 years ago. Yes, I know it sometimes happens where it's possible, but a P.T. (pregnancy test) in ER answered that question.

Basically yesterday morning run-down went like this. I woke up 5 a.m. (couldn't sleep), and got up and about. Get the kids up (they are off this week for spring break) and around. We drop the kids off at a friend’s house on the way to the Clinic. The kids were able to play with their friends while we would be in the clinic. We run to the clinic and prepare for Kell's 8:30 a.m. procedure. We expect maybe one hour tops (so they say). They wanted us there 7:30 a.m. for preparation, shot in her butt, ect. By 8:45 a.m. I am pacing. By 9:10 I am really aggravated. Seems the Doc's didn't even arrive till after 8:30 a.m., where as they normally are there by 7:30 a.m. I grow so tired of people, regardless of the symbols behind their names, thinks the world revolves around them. Sigh. It blew my time-line. We were not done till 11 a.m. But at least it came out good. The Doc. kept referring to Gallbladder Ultrasound and how he cannot believe they didn't do a GB US before this procedure. Yeah Doc, it's called milking the insurance for all it's worth.

While she was in the back for that hour, I ran up to 5th floor for a mother-in-law errand. I then ran across the street to a Hastings. I picked up "The Incredibles” and the 3rd Matrix (used). I watched the first 2 last week at Corp. and didn't have the 3rd one. Once I arrived back and sat down in the waiting room to be called, I was immediately called. Talk about timing it right. That was a first.

Kelli had a friend she hadn't seen in a long time and wanted to really see her and allow our kids to play with her during their catch-up time. She was in town this week, but of course the only time available was Tuesday around 1 p.m. She was able to go and I think they enjoyed the time together. I was personally amazed Kell could do it. She normally wants to go to sleep for 10 hours after a couple of drinks. Having narcotics shot in your IV and she was up 1 hour later. I was shocked.

I dropped her and the kids off at a nearby McDonalds for them to meet and converse. I went back to work my remaining 1/2 day and then picked them back up in a couple of hours.

Once we arrived back at the house from McDonalds, Kell's dad was waiting for them. The kids spent the night with her parents Tuesday night, due to Kelli, the kids and her mom driving to Muskogee Wednesday for a therapy appointment for our son. Muskogee is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away, taking the Muskogee turnpike. Her mom wanted to go with them Wednesday. So the kids were out of the house all night. What is a couple to do? Not much, because she is getting sleepy again. LOL

We actually ended up going out eating Mexican. I really wasn't expecting to go out and about. We had one errand that took less than an hour. We ended up going eating and walked in Books a Million. I found a book in the discount bin, "The hacker diaries, confession of Teenage Hackers". It looked good. We grabbed a hot chocolate on the way out and back home. We finished up some stuff for work, getting ready for the next day, ect. She went on to bed and I watched the 3rd Matrix. It turned out to be a really nice evening.
