10 on Tuesday...AGAIN??

Dang, Tuesdays come fast!! here is another 10 randsom thoughts for a Tuesday afternoon.

1.Today I am a little down in the dumps and in a work funk- NOT good! Could it be because on Sunday I drug Kurt kicking and screaming to the hospital because I KNEW he had shingles, NOT spider bites! As if there are unfrozen spiders in this country right now--pfff! He told the Dr. that I made him come and that he didn't think it was shingles. Regan(Son of Dr Clayne, Whitney's brother in law and Rhonda's husband and my new favorite Dr.) took one look at it, laughed and said to Kurt, "well what do YOU think it is?" HAHAHAH! yup I was right and I won the bet. Mothers are smart that way.

2. Also on Sunday Stewart had a horrible stiff neck. I didn't think much of it until he came home from a border run and was talking to me. Half of his face wasn't moving- very strange. I told him to get his hind quarters up to the Dr. (I have to admit I was thinking stroke and I even made him do the tongue exercises) He called me from the Dr.s office with a diagnosis of Bell's Palsy. I wasn't right on the stroke thing but I did pick up that something was wrong so I am 2 for 2!!! Wives are smart that way. I find it very strange that Shingles and Bells Palsy are both caused by the herpes virus. Both of these walking wounded are on the same exact medication. (I am nervous to see what ailment I'll come down with) and wondering how they could be related even though the Dr's say they aren't.

3. So ya, I am in a funk today- Worried about my boys- There isn't bupkis I can do about either situation but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kick something. I can't seem to get into creating. I just finished 2 months of work for the big Las Vegas show and I am simply out of ideas. After 22 years of this- I think I hit the wall. Not to worry- eventually I just find my way around the wall, but after 2 days of coming up short in the artistic department, I am a tad viclempt. Well that word just came up on my spell checker and the only solution was receptacle. You know- that just about describes my feelings today. Empty receptacle. BWAHAAH- just tried another spelling- This time I got clavicle. Collarbone? Well that's a bone...so that's kind of the same as boneheads...see random thought #4.


4. I am officially going to quit looking at the facebook pages of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. My head officially exploded. The gullible stupidity of the electorate astounds me. Can I just say (my blog my rules) that America better get this one right this time because if we have to have 4 more years of Barack Obama, there will not be a "WE" and "WE" will be a bankrupt, socialistic freaking mess! Might I just add that if the GOP candidate can't bring in the independent vote- The GOP is toast. SO you might not want to put all your eggs in the guys basket who can get some cheers from the choir- if you get my drift. America, you are too easily swayed. Think this one through, K! sheeeeeesh!

5. On a happier NOTE (Pun Intended)- I am beginning to learn my Latin music for Sound of Music. Problem is I know when I get to practice it's all going to be useless gibberish and I will have to re- learn it but what ya gonna do?

6.HMMM our water heater busted and got water all over the basement. No hot water for 2 days and Bells Palsy boy is down there in all his pain and glory trying to fix it. Aint life grand.

7. wow- this is kind of a downer day- well shoot- some days are just like that. On top of this glorious weekend, I attended not 1 but 2 funerals. I am on such a roll, I amaze myself!

8. ok kid- get a grip and say something pithy and positive. I get to play hockey tonight. Highlight of the week, says I! After the last few days, folks better watch out because I may take my frustrations out on one and all tonight!

9. I think I deserve pancakes for dinner- but they aren't nearly as good without Whitney's coconut syrup- so maybe butternut squash and pear soup. yum. After no hot water, that might be the ticket.

10. After the Book of Mormon bashing on the political web sites, I was indeed happy to read that inspired book this morning and know that it is true scripture and that it supports the bible. I have the feeling things are going to get a bit messy from here on out. No fence sitting. Just hope I am up to what may come. I speak softly ( ahem, sputter, cough) but I carry a big hockey stick.......and today I feel very much like using it.
