So I have nothing to say really. Things in the Chaos household are swimming along in a relatively normal manner. Well, if you can call this household normal. Finn's birthday is today. He got a Wii Nerf gun from all of us and our fantabulous neighbors got him a ball and bat, and a couple of other kinds of balls. Totally a 7yo boy birthday gift. They rock! I'm guessing he has money and/or gift cards coming from everyone else, or maybe just a phone call, which is awesome :o).
The decision to bring the kids back home next year still feels solidly good. I have brief moments of "aw man" but for the most part, I feel really excited and ready for yet another new chapter in our lives together as a family.
The windows are wide open and Oak is napping. We have rain moving in, too close for me to hang out the laundry, but with the washer installed I am still doing laundry. I'll make Neall load it into the van when he gets home tonight so I can take it up to the laundromat.
Neall is coming home early this evening so he and his brother and father can work on installing my dryer. I wish they'd have done the vent drilling last night since it'll be raining for them tonight, but maybe they'll do other stuff instead.
I'm still on frequent nebulizer treatments and an inhaled steroid. I know this sounds crazy but inhaled steroids have worse side effects for me than oral meds do. I was hesitant when Doc H prescribed it to me, but it had been so long since I've taken it that I couldn't remember WHY I was hesitant. The oral stuff isn't fun, but it's kitten-like compared to the inhaled steroid. I'm debating whether to call the emergency number and talk to Doc H about it now, or whether I should just stop taking it and call the office on Monday. I think the Monday plan is more solid.
Finn has his second dental appointment on Wednesday. A planned crown turned into an extraction last time. Finn was totally back to normal and pain free by that evening so I'm not worried about a repeat of the extraction on the other side, but a crown works for me too. Crowns are much more expensive so I'm sort of hoping for an extraction, but I really just want Finn to be tooth-pain free.
Speaking of dentist, I have yet to get in to see one myself. I've been trying for 3 months. Something just keeps getting in the way. The first appt was canceled due to heavy snow. The second one I canceled due to Bronchitis (hard to do dental work with frequent coughing fits). Now I'm nervous to make another appt because I'm still not breathing like a normal adult should. I'm not even breathing normal for ME, lol. So I put it off and suffer. I'm vowing right here and now to call on Monday.
The Soulard Soiree is fast approaching. Anyone wanting to attend is invited to purchase tickets from me :oP. Honestly, the ticket price is the best bargain in Saint Louis. It's 3.5 hours of free open bar, fantastic food and elegant conversation. It takes place at McGurks in Soulard on their "top 10" patio. The Soulard School knows how to party, and this one is sure to be in keeping with their previous standards. In addition to all of that there will be a silent auction for anything/everything under the sun. From spa gift certificates to yoga classes to baseball tickets to baskets of coffee, there is something for everyone. I'm actually fairly excited to attend. I'm on the hook to sell 4 tickets. Since Neall and I will attend, I only need to sell 2. Anyone interested should contact me as soon as possible. Tickets are $40 each ($80 for the pair) and I believe (I am awaiting confirmation) that any donation is tax deductible. Sponsorships are also available if you have $500 or more you wish to donate :oP. Anyone want to go out on April 18th?
