Surgical Update
Just off the phone. Surgery is rescheduled for next week Wed, the 23rd. Same surgeon, different hospital. I'm very happy they could get me in before the new year, giving me time to get up and running before the spring semester starts.
LOL
Me. yelling up the stairs this morning: YaYa, are you almost ready?
YaYa: Debatable.
Me: Well, hurry up. Life ain't no box of chocolates. You KNOW what you're gonna get if you're late.

Surgery Eve
Tomorrow morning is my surgery. I've tried to get done what I could beforehand, knowing I'll be out of action awhile. I put air in all the tires, ran some errands, stocked up on household products, and made sure to walk the kids home from school, as it's the last time it'll probably happen until spring. Now all that's left is setting the alarm for the wee hours.
The School Holiday Show
Tonight was the Holiday show for the younger three. LuLu played trumpet in the band, Junie sang Mr. Santa (to the tune of Mr. Sandman), and Smiley's class sang The Christmas Song. All three did great. :)

Nuh Uh
TLC's new show where parents pick a spouse for their adult/loser children. It'd be a cold day in hell . . .#MarriedByMomAndDad.
A Nice Afternoon
After some housework Lisa and I toured Chrissy and Chris' new flat, which is quite cute. Then we dined at Maggianos free of charge, courtesy of a gift card JJ gave us for our anniversary. A nice afternoon :)
Goodbye dear toaster
After 19 years the 4 slice Proctor-Silex toaster Lisa and I got as a wedding present went kaput, ruining the last good thing to come out of that day. ;) So here's the new one, complete with fancy-dancy buttons and removable crumb trays. If you bought us the original toaster, thank you.

Finals = done
I've finished and submitted both of my take home finals for law school.They weren't due until the end of the week but with the surgery coming up I wanted them out of the way. My first semester as an L2 is now complete.
Happy Birthday TJ
Yesterday afternoon all of #TeamSlap headed to my Godson's birthday party. We bought him a Batman bank with a deposit inside, and Smiley helped him construct a Lego car.
Good Attendance Night
On Thursday Smiley and Junie earned a ticket to a Good Attendance award event after school. YaYa tagged along with me and got hugs from the kids she babysat over the summer and greetings from old classmates.
We decorated a Christmas cookie and would have made a construction paper gingerbread man and a Letter to Santa, but the former tables were full and the latter project was way too young for them.
Congrats on your great attendance kids!
Good Job Girls!
On Saturday morning Junie's Girl Scout troop spent time at the Rescue Mission helping prepare Christmas gifts for homeless families. Afterwards the troop retired to the leader's house to decorate gingerbread cookies and dine on pizza. Proud of you kid!

Junie's Ear Surgery
@ the surgery center in Franklin
VERY frustrated at the spotty cell reception here. Trying and failing to update Lisa on Junie's progress. Lisa, pop on messenger, there's WiFi here.
As I mentioned last week Junie needed one ear tube replaced because of "mechanical failure," and I'm glad we pursued it bc it turns out her ear tissue had grown through the tube, blocking it. Despite an early start to the day, she's fine if grumpy. Lisa was pulling Mom duty at the dentist with YaYa but texted throughout - even tho mine didn't seem to go through :)
Back in Business
Yay!!! After being without TV in the living room for 24 hours Junie found the remote in the upstairs hall!!
