Uh, Hello...We Would Like A Refund.....

You have got to be freakin kidding me! AIG execs took a week long retreat to a very expensive spa in CA just days after the bail out and used $440,000.00 of our money to do it. We have people losing their homes, and they thought it would be a good idea to play golf, and go to the spa.....This is just jaw dropping. I think at the very least they need to be fired. I wish they could have criminal charges pressed against them, I feel like that's stealing money. It's kind of like the person who's on the PTA board at the local school taking out of the kid's fund. I know the economy is worrying everyone, but the silver lining here is that it will help us learn how to be more thrifty and simplify our lives. After all the most important thing in life is people, not things...

Back In The Saddle Again

We got back Saturday, late morning. Since that time it has been non stop medicine, groceries, laundry, floors, dishes, and kids. Did you notice I left out sleep? That's because there's been none. J is doing great. He was in quite a bit of pain when they wheeled him into recovery, they kept him on morphine for about the first twelve hours, and since then he has been taking hydracodone for the pain. Chandler and I have been so tired. He came home at night to take care of Meg and Annabelle (the weiner dog), and I stayed at the hospital w/ J. We were at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. As you already know, I was so nervous! I have to say-they were awesome! They really put my nerves to ease, walked me thru everything, and I knew they were taking care of my child as if he was there own. I can't say enough good about them.

Last night I actually got to sleep until 430 this morning, so I'm feeling pretty rested. It will be good to get back to normal, and get the house back in order. Plus, it's definitely Fall. I love Fall-it's my favorite season. That helps motivate me to cook, and get things done. Tonight is herb roasted chicken, sweet potato mash, and steamed broccoli-my kind of comfort food......
