Only one more week of exile....

I saw my surgeon today for another follow-up.

The prognosis? Better! He says the fact that I'm having periods of time where I am pain free is a good sign. That I'm FINALLY getting better and healing. But he still wants me to take it easy for another week. He said that the last thing we needed to do was throw me to the wolves right after I started feeling better because it obviously didn't work so well last time. Hmmmm.

He may be right.


I've started to accept the fact that I'm NOT superwoman. I CAN'T do everything. And I'm starting to be okay with that.

Plus, this resting bit? Is growing on me. Locking myself in the bedroom is really working well. (No T.V. in there is a huge plus). I've already mentioned the beauty benefits (I may be able to delay the inevitable Botox in my future), but the healing part is amazingly actually working when I stay off my feet. Who'dve thunk it.

The even BETTER news is that after this week, I only have two days of work before we leave for HAWAII! Oh yeah, baby. I'm gonna rest on the BEACH. After some business gets taken care of first, of course. There will be NO sight-seeing, no schedules, and no work (for the most part). What there WILL be? Lots of rest and relaxation, preferably with my ass firmly planted in the sand or in a lounge chair, with some kind of drink with an umbrella in my hand. And my hot husband rubbing sunscreen on my back. I think I can deal with that.

Of course, I will be missing the babies like crazy. I've never been away from them for that long before!! It's going to be so hard for me. Megan and Shirley will just have to put up with millions of phone calls from me. :) And I'll be wanting hourly reports. And pictures.

I'm kidding. (kind of). But this trip is not only just what we need from a business standpoint, but a getaway for us on a personal level as well. It's important for us to be able to spend time together, just the two of us, as often as possible. And whenever we have the opportunity we'll take it. We've been lucky enough to have more dates in the past few months than we have the entire time we were in Japan because Megan has been here to help us. But I have exciting news! Meg is moving back and going back to school full time! I'm so excited for her, I think it's the best thing she could do for herself right now. We're going to miss her but we're so happy that she's taking this big step right now. She couldn't have made a better decision.

Glynn's flying in tomorrow morning so I'd better get to bed and rest. We (me and the babies) are going to the airport to pick him up around 7:00 tomorrow morning. We just got done having a picnic on the deck and we all took a big bubble bath in Mommy's jacuzzi tub. Maddie's asleep and Brady is almost there. They both brought home some really cute Mother's Day cards for me today that they had made at school. There's nothing better than that, really. I love them so much! I can never get enough artwork from them.

Okay, on that note, it's time for a cup of herbal tea and some jammies for Mommy. Good night, all.
