so much to do

I never seem to have time to get anything done.  I have needed to go to the grocery store for days and a trip to Sam's club wouldn't be a bad thing.  I need to get the girls pictures ordered, do homework for confirmation, get Halloween costumes figured out and buy clothes for a wedding.  Where do people find the time?

Last weekend I had great intentions.  Saturday Jim and I were going to get up early and tackle the house and the yard.  Well, we got the yard part somewhat done.  Then I was racked with abdominal cramps and locked in the bathroom for a few hours and yes, in hindsight, I should have gone to the ER.  By the time I could get out of the bathroom I was dehydrated, had lost quite a bit of blood and was in shock.  Took till Mon afternoon for me to feel somewhat normal again. Now I am patiently waiting for the clinic to call and tell me when they are scheduling my colonoscopy.  As is I have time for that!!  That will require an entire day off of work and me to be near a bathroom the day/night before to do the prep. 

Pros and cons of this whole ordeal:
pro-I have a day off      con-can't afford a day off
pro-maybe the stomach issues I have had for 15 years will clear up    con-whatever they find
con-bothering someone for a ride there and back     pro-Erin drives and might be able to help
con-timing -my coworker leaves for vacation and I am covering for her
pro-dropped 7 lbs overnight--hopefully I can keep some of it off

This weekend Erin dances and hopefully I can get some errands run.  Rylee needs clothes for the wedding, so do I and Jim needs shoes.  I will have to run food down to Erin and Paul at some point--possibly twice.  Is it so much to want a clean house, a hot, healthy supper and time to unwind? 

I am really trying to remember to do this:
Today I am grateful for:
modern medicine
my daughters
how much I have--I am really a wealthy person (checkbooks empty-not that kind of wealthy)
