On Friday, the Things made Hubby open some of his Father’s Day gifts b/c they just couldn’t wait.  Just as well b/c today Thing One’s sick (would it really be a special day around here if we were all healthy?).  We thought she had “iwantowatchtvitis”, but when I took her temperature to placate her, it was over 100.  Gosh, I would have felt bad if I’d made her go to church today when she really was sick!  Swell guy that he is, Hubby let me stay home with her this morning instead of staying home himself b/c I was working on a migraine.

On the way home from church, Hubby & Thing Two stopped at the store to buy milk, creamer, Cheetos, and some $1 frozen things for lunches for the Things/snacks for Hubby.  He even called me a couple of times to see if there was anything I wanted him to pick up, but I didn’t hear the phone ring.  After he got home, he fed the girls, then went out again to get me some migraine medicine.  Since we had to cancel on going to Poppa & Nana’s house, Hubby got to go hit the golf course this afternoon.  No idea when he’ll be home b/c he had to do a walk-on as a single at whatever time he could get, but that’s OK; it’s his day.

Click for the pictures from Friday.  (He did open the rest of his presents this morning — slippers from Grandma and quick-drying underwear for our trip from me, plus a naughty card from me — understandably, no pictures.)

Biopsy results came in earlier than expected.  Good news is that it’s not cancer or hyperplasia.  Sooooo, now we schedule the hysterectomy.  Looks like we’ll be going for the Monday after school starts so that I can do all the pre-beginning-of-school stuff and be there for Thing Two’s first day of school.  Hubby doesn’t have to be back at work till the 11th, and I’ll be somewhat up on my feet by then.  Nana will be available to help some, Sandy will probably help out some, and Michelle says not to worry about meals b/c people from church will help out.

Hubby was really concerned about my needing a lot of help, wanting to rest, the Things going stir-crazy, and his getting caught in the middle (not to mention the disappointment anyone would feel about having to spend part of sabbatical playing nursemaid).  Sounds like it won’t be so bad, though — more like recuperating from a c-section than like when I was on strict bed rest.  I’ll keep ya’ll posted. 

Today was Baby Sedona’s “Coming-Out Party”, aka a fancy baby shower at the restaurant at Harding Park Golf Course.  It was so special to be there for Mark & Gabi.  When I get a copy of the picture of Gabi, Sedona, Heather, Mansour, Suzanne & me, I’ll post it. 

As you can see, the Things enjoyed the fabulous spread (and this was after a lot of it had been eaten).

If this were the only kind of baked goods I kept in my house, I’d be a size 8 (well, maybe)….
