Is that Chocolate Milk Mama?

What can I say, you've found me involved in sort of a blog-fest. I had my tonsils taken out Wednesday and let's just say that supreme boredom has set in. ;) So I decided to take care of all of those "online things" that I've been meaning to do for ages.

So let me fill you in on life this week and well....you'll see the reason for the blog name as well. ;) As I mentioned, Wedensday was tonsilectomy day - did I mention I'm 40? Yes, a tad old for this sort of thing, but hey, the tonsils were driving me insane and the doctors and I decided it was time for them to go! Wednesday post-surgery was great, I even had a little playdate here for the kids - ok really it was for me, in case I needed help, but I was fine (ok heavily drugged but fine) so it was just a fun playdate. The doctors office called on Friday to check on me and I tell them that I'm itching like crazy and nauseated. The doctor prescribed darvoset for pain once I'm able to move off of the liquid hydrocodone and phenergan for the nausea. I've had some experience with the phenergan and thought, wow, that's kind of overkill huh? I realized later, that this should have been taken as a warning and not a judgement on my part! LOL! My son (Zander, 4yrs) woke up from his nap later than day and started with his normal round of questions 'hi mama, whatcha doin'? what's that? etc..' and for whatever reason I answered with puking in the trash can, right out of the blue. Of course he's standing next to me watching and the whole time, saying 'Whatcha doing mama? You frowing up mama? Mama, are you frowing up? Are you sick mama? What's that mama? Mama, is that chocolate milk? Is that chocolate milk mama? Can I HAVE some chocolate milk mama?" Sigh, what is it with 4 year old boys that upon seeing someone throw up chocolate milk, would make them actually WANT some?? By Saturday morning, nothing, including medicine was staying down so I went cold turkey off of all the medications. MUCH better! Yes my throat hurts but certainly not worse than the strep I just got over and no nausea! Yay!

So now it's Sunday, I've been laying around bored to tears for days and I'm soooooooo ready to get something done. Enter blogger and 1 more thing I can check off of my endless to-do list!

Oh so the blog name - well you've seen what I went with and why..my other option was 'Why am I watching Noggin alone?' Both were good options, as I'm left with both questions buzzing in my head throughout each day. But then I wouldn't have had a great reason to tell the 'frow up' story, which I thought was entertaining, at least to other parents. ;)

Hugs!
