Another week

The Watson family has had another busy week. There was school and all the normal stuff. Then there was Thursday. We knew it was coming but you never really think about it until the day comes.
My wife had to go for exploratory surgery. She was there about 6 hours. She is still in the recuperating mode now. She was told that she will have to have a hysterectomy in the near future. She is kind of relieved that now she knows what has to be done but does not know what to expect. I will be researching this for her as the doctors only tell you what you need to know. Any help on info would be greatly appreciated.
Then there is me. I have an appointment on Monday to talk to the surgeon about removing my gall bladder and fixing my acid reflux disease. I really would like to get this over with so that I can have surgery on my hands. I never really paid any attention to my hands until my elbows started to hurt. It is amazing that I am so young yet so much can be falling apart.
On a better note, we were able to go see Mr. Steve. He is a great performer for children and my kids had a blast. He makes balloon animals sings songs and brings kids on stage. This was a very fun time. My kids got an autographed picture of him with his name. This is the first autograph they received with their names on it. We also received a lot of tootsie rolls and a Frisbee.
Ray has an awesome booth at the home show. It has every detail in mind. He builds log homes and his booth looked just like the front of a house. He even took the time to put animals on the outside. I was very impressed. It is hard to find someone who takes as as much pride in his work as he does. Great job Ray, my kids loved it.

My weekend

I am tired. I have a big weekend ahead and I should be excited. I am going to take my girls to "Monster Jam". Tonight I am taking my wife out. Tomorrow is truck races. Sunday we have church and I am going to try to go to Du Quoin for midget races. I have a lot of school work to do. I have a history test on Monday, English assignment due today, and a test in Speech on Wednesday. This is a lot to do. How will I get it all done? Just watch. I will because this is something I want to do.I also have now added a Dr. appointment at 11:00. I will stop by my aunt's to wire up her printer.
I have drywalled my room downstairs and I am one sheet short. I figured I was going to be 2 short. Even better. Now I only have to buy one sheet instead of two. My friend Greg helped last night. He is very helpful and said he was going to help me mud the seams. It is nice to have good friends like him. We call him the swiss army Buddha. It does not matter what we are doing he always has the tools we need.(usually in his pocket)
In closing I am going to do my English homework and go to the Dr. Have a great day.

I finally did it

I finally finished building the walls in my new bedroom. I have been trying to get this done for over a year and now the walls are there. This is a good accomplishment for me. I have been so busy with school and doing other things I did not ever think I was going to get done.
I asked my daughter if she wants to have my room or the new room. She says she wants the new room. I am not sure if she is going to get it or not. The new room is in the basement and I do not know if she will stay there or not. She is always willing to do something new but I do not think she really understands that she will be the only one down there.
I still have to put up drywall and ceiling but the framing is all done. I am very happy with the way it turned out. It was kind of chore to do. My basement has all kinds of beams in it that I had to work around. I still cannot figure out how to frame around the one window. It is going to be challenging to make it look right. I have confidence that once I start hanging the drywall I will see how to make it look right.
Just a little information for you. If you are going to be wiring anything, Lowes has 250 feet of 12-2 wire for around $60. You have to be careful. They also have 100 feet of 12-2 wire for $60. This information is for your own reference. I do not understand how you can pay the same price for 100 feet or 250 feet. I just wanted to let you know. Have a great day.

Why do we worry

I went this morning and had some tests done. I had to have an endoscopy of my stomach. I know there is a term for it, but I do not know what it is. I have known for a couple days that I had to have it done. I did not really worry about it until last night. I read the brochure. Not really a big deal. Then I started to really just think about it. They want to do WHAT? I do not like to go to the dentist let alone have a big camera ran down my throat. In the brochure it says you are sedated , but you also have to swallow the tube. All I could do was think about how can I be awake enough to swallow something I do not want to and also be sedated. I could not sleep all night.

This morning I got up to go have the test. I was so nauseas that I did not want to go. I went early so I could get it over with. The problem with going so early is the Dr. was not even there yet. Now I have to lay in the bed feeling like crap. The nurses were very polite and understanding of my fear. They kept telling me that there was nothing to it. This does help a little. Before I knew it the Dr. is asking me questions. The nurse comes in and started talking about signing some forms. I knew it was almost time to get started.

The nurse says here put this in your mouth and role on your side. Just about the time I start to say hang on....... I am waking up. The nurse says how are you feeling. I tell her I feel fine. She says here is your jacket you can go home now. I was just wondering why we get so worked up even though we know there is nothing to it. Am I the only one that does this or is this normal? If there are so many of us out here with this, why cant we find a way to overcome it.
