Random . . . .and not so random . . . thoughts

I sent my oldest child off to Space Camp today for the next 3 days. I'm a little worried. He's never been this far away from us for this long without a family member close by. I hope he remembers to shower, put on deodorant every morning, and brush his teeth. And I hope he comes home with everything I sent with him.

I'm a worry wort.

I saw the Dr. today to discuss my lab results. Everything looks pretty good. I don't have diabetes like I feared. I need to work on raising my good cholesterol levels and  lose weight(duh!). She did say my kidney function has been compromised a little which could be from when I had gestational diabetes with Lauren or from being sick. So to try to help and preserve my kidneys I have to drink plenty of fluids which DOES NOT include diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. It's not on my list. The only thing on my list is WATER. WATER, WATER, WATER. Well, that should help with losing weight. And I'll sure have to pee a lot.

Lauren pooped in the potty today all by herself. I'm so proud! It's the little things that make us moms happy, right?

The more bills, wants, needs, obligations I have, the more I realize money just doesn't go as far as I want or need it to.

I have a cool new Scentsy car freshener for my smelly van. The gal I ordered from sent it to me as a thank you gift for being her first customer. I love gifts! My van sure needed it with 4 smelly kids in and out of it all day.

My hubby treated me to lunch today and a mint chocolate chip Italian creme soda. Ok, so that's not on my list either, but it was yummy and I did have water with my lunch.

Baby chickens eat a lot. Or maybe it's the baby goose. But they're really cute.

One example of why I can't be on the computer: In the time it has taken me to type this little post, Lauren has opened four Capri Suns and emptied them into the trash can. These are part of her two older brothers' snacks for school. Grrrrrrrr!

On that note I will have to say hasta luego!
