the big event is almost here.....

three more days until my hysterectomy....seems funny that i could consider this a big event. i truly can't wait until i have this surgery.

for a few reasons...

no more periods
no more anemia
no more dog tired days because of the anemia
6-8 weeks off of work
did i mention no more periods???
time to get caught up on some scrapbooking while i'm off
hopefully get some organization done in this house
purge and reorganize my scrapbook room
it will feel like being a stay at home mom again
quiet time when austen goes back to school
no more periods....

i was supposed to have this done last year..it was scheduled for the end of june and i looked forward to having most of the summer off with austen
then don got sick
and i canceled the surgery
and took care of him...

i will miss working out with my friends next door. i work out with the same group of girls three nights a week. i've worked hard and have lost about 15 lbs in the past 6 weeks. doctor says no working out for 6 weeks but i will be able to walk so maybe i can visit and walk on the treadmill while the other girls are doing the weight training.

it is a quiet sunday morning. scarlett and austen are sleeping. don is at church. he woke up a little late this morning and there wasn't enough time for us to get both kids up and ready. scarlett had a bad night and was up twice crying. i was so tired and just wanted to get back into bed. she finally fell asleep for the night at about 1:30am. she woke up at 7:45 this morning and came to bed with me and fell back asleep. no big plans for today, i think i will try to get some meals cooked and frozen so don won't have to come home from work and cook every night. he'll have enough to do to take care of me for a couple of weeks.
