Tuesday's Tidbits

Today I'm having my port-a-catheter and IP port put in so I'll be spending the day and night at the hospital, but here are a few tidbits I wrote down so I can keep my regular blog schedule. :)

I finally downloaded a book and started reading on my iPad. While there is something to be said about having an actual book in my hand, there is also something to be said about having multiple books at my fingertips in one little toy.

Over the weekend Rory got in trouble right before lunch and we decided an appropriate punishment was to take away her Easter cookie that I'd already laid out for her. She was sobbing, of course, and Camden turned to us and asked if he could take her punishment for her so that she could still have a cookie. Yes, I cried. And, no, we didn't let him do it. We told him how sweet it was and kind of him to offer, but that we thought Rory probably wouldn't learn anything if we let him take her punishment.

My staples are gone, the industrial strength tape they used after removing the staples is gone, and despite what the doctors keep saying, this scar is not pretty. Good thing there are no bikinis in my future anyway.

I have an appointment Friday to get my hair chopped off. Since I'm going to be shaving it off in a couple of weeks, I decided I needed to go a little shorter to make it easier. Anyone want to send me links to cute short haircuts? I won't be able to rock it for long, but maybe it will be cute for a couple of weeks.

Camden told me Thursday morning before school (the only day I took him to school since before my surgery) that he was really happy to have all four of us back to normal. Me too, buddy.

Pray for Camden and Rory today and tomorrow. Rory immediately started crying when she realized I was going to the hospital even though we assured her over and over that it was just one day this time. And Camden is old enough to be worried about me, but not really understand why he's worried. They're both also pretty freaked out about the fact that I'm going to lose my hair.

And my favorite quote in a long time from Camden, "Is it just me or are you getting shorter?" I seriously laughed long and hard. Several of you have mentioned how big he's looking, and it's true. The child has hit a serious growth spurt recently, and is just looking so much older. Someone, please stop time.
