Oh, what shall a parent do without their kid for a week?? My mom took Isabella home on Saturday and my dad has been keeping her all week while my mom is at school. The original plan was for them to take her for the week so I could get some things done around the house, have a CT scan done on my head, take my grandmother to the pain doctor, beauty shop and to sign some legal work.
So lucky for us, Alan and I got a night to ourselves and we took advantage of that by heading into town to see Star Trek! Not my pick, but I wasn't completely bored out of my mind. There are plenty of chick flicks coming out that I will recapture the time lost while watching it. However, unfortunately I started feeling sick on the way home with a sore throat...that progressed into Sunday and by Monday I WAS SICK!!! Miserably sick, so that I moved from the bed to the couch and didn't move till I went back to bed Monday night!! So there goes 2 full days, kidless, LOST!! Oh, I forgot to mention, besides going to church and the tad bit of yard work done, Sunday, wasted away at a church pot luck, swimming, soaking up the sun, nairing, Cujo's & delicious bar food (that we paid for eating later).
Day 3, finally I was able to make some progress!! Yes, I know we have sprung into summer but I started the spring cleaning process...all the curtains came down and were washed, got on my hands and knees and cleaned the baseboards, all that fun stuff. Day 4 I took my grandmother to the pain Dr for a shot and when I returned home it was more of the same from the day before, however; laugh if you may, our Christmas tree finally came down and is put away for the remaining 6 months till Alan will have the dreaded day of going to storage and dragging all of the Christmas stuff out so I can put it up again. So some of you who aren't that close may be lost....YES MY CHRISTMAS TREE WAS STILL SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM until MAY 20th!!! You may ask why...well I can give you several reasons, I've needed time without Isabella, I've needed help and I've needed a clean house (or living room at least) AND the big kicker, a place to store all of the valuables on the tree and the tree itself after it came down, and it just so happened that those events all fell into place on May 20th! So now my once crowded living room/Isabella's playroom has now become a little less cluttered more spread out Isabella's playroom!!

The ornaments
It's almost all the way out!!
Day 5 & 6 entailed a trip to the beauty shop and lawyers office and a quick trip to Lubbock. I did manage to get the dishes washed, pick up the bathroom and some of Isabella's room....and saved the final projects of tackling our room and the storage to organize stuff for a garage sale for a later date (maybe when my mom gets out of school). After 6 days of being kidless I really am missing my little booger! She won't talk to me on the phone, Barney, outside, the trampoline or just her Grammie or Papa are too much excitement and she doesn't have the time to say Hi Mama or I love you (but I know she does)!! Boy will I be glad to see her when we get to Monahans tonight!! I thought I was ready to let her spend a couple of weeks with her Grammie & Papa at a time...but I just don't think her daddy nor I are ready for that!! After about 4 days of a quiet uncluttered with toys house and 3 good nights of uninterrupted sleep, we start to miss the little stink and don't quite know what to do with ourselves!! We LOVE YOU ISABELLA and can't wait to see you!! So after a busy semi-eventful week, all was accomplished except for my CAT scan that will take place at 8:30 Tuesday morning!! Please keep me in your prayers that they find out what is causing the neck pain and headaches and that it is nothing serious.
