Almost a month!!

Goodness it's been almost a month since I posted anything here. Hmmmm - what to tell. First my knee I guess - still hurting. Had an MRI - nothing's wrong according to the ortho. Great. Pain = nothing wrong. Hmmmmm. He thinks I need to see a rheumatologist - whatever. I'm not convinced it's some kind of disease, but he doesn't know what else it could be. *sigh*

This week I was throwing up again - I don't know if I had food poisoning again or what. I don't remember the last time I threw up - maybe 8 or 9 years ago and now I've thrown up/been sick to my stomach twice quite severly in the last month. Maybe I do have some kind of disease.

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We took the kids to Palm Springs for a change of scenery. We went to the ariel tram, the mall, saw Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, went to the Air Museum, and the Living Desert. We ended up having a great, fun, relaxing weekend. And we all give Mr. Magorium's two thumbs up.

We're looking forward to Christmas - dh is off for 5 days in a row so that will be a nice break for all of us. I haven't had a chance to decorate yet though. :-( We just haven't been home, I was going to start on Tuesday and then I got sick and just couldn't do anything. It's suppose to start raining tonight and rain all day tomorrow so I should probably get off of here and at least try and get the outside lights up.

My sister and I are going to drive to San Diego tomorrow for an open casting call for the Amazing Race. I'd LOVE to be on that show more than anything in the world - unfortunately it's such a long shot that I should probably not hope too much. I don't even care about the $$ you win, earn, whatever. I just want to travel around the world - and it would be a lot of fun to do with my sister. I think we'd work well together and would make "good tv." ;-) DH thinks I'm crazy.

My other sister is pretending she had a baby - wow that sounds so crazy. It is crazy. She got extremely peeved because I called her on it. Whatever - I don't have time to deal with your drama, be straight up with me, and I'll be straight up with you. Of course, now she's peeved at the rest of the family too so they're not thrilled that I said something. Are we suppose to pretend that he's real when he isn't? Sometimes it would be easier to have no extended family!

I need to find babysitters for next weekend - we have two parties to go to and right now, no babysitters. I doubt anybody in my family will commit to doing it because the sister that really IS going to have a baby is due that weekend - so nobody is going to want to be stuck here with my kids when they'd rather be waiting at the hospital to see her kid. *sigh* I really should get on that though. I hate asking, because I hate being rejected.

OK, maybe I'll go look for some Christmas lights - we bought a ladder and the roses are trimmed so I should be able to get them up without too much difficulty.

Wish me luck!

19 Days until Christmas
