Do tonsils make you grumpy?

So today is day 5, post-tonsilectomy. By all reports it's the day that the pain increases due to the healing process (scabs are being shed - yuck) - and I can confirm that. Egads, it hurts today! Hurts to swallow, to talk and yet strangely enough it hurts less to swallow soft bread. Go figure. I'm still off of the pain killers except for some ibuprophen, which is only helping a tad. I'm just hoping the pain passes soon so I can move on.

Zander came to me this morning with his usual barrage of questions that I thought I'd share. Funny boy. "Where's your tonsils mama? in your 'froat? are they in your 'froat mama? did the doctor take em out? what did the doctor do with them? did he 'frow em in the trash? what do tonsils do? do they make you grumpy?"

There's no answers in between questions because this is how most of our conversations go. He asks a stream of questions, almost without a gasp of air in between and then we try to catch up. My answers were quick and to the point today, it was just too painful to even talk. "yep, yep they're gone and won't make me grumpy anymore. I'll be better soon."

What else...ah yes, I placed an order with Crazy 8 today. Not normally one of my favorite stores but they had a couple of boys shirts that caught my eye - and no ugly rough edges! Here's what I ordered for Zander:
First is this cute Halloween shirt. One bat says "I love the nightlife" and the other says "I like to boogie" - it just makes me giggle and want to break into the hustle lol!
This very boden-ish "Lone Wolf" shirt - cute for $5:
And this green funky dog shirt that just makes me smile:
Can't wait to see it all IRL!
