The dungeon is freezing again! Just when I put away the long underwear -- the icicles are back! In two weeks we go on our Florida vacation. I can not wait. This is the first family vacation we have taken with my husband since 2001. The kids and I have gone to my dad's cottage during summer, but my hubby has always had to work. We are really looking forward to this!!!

Tomorrow I think I will learn the results of my biopsy. The stitches come out too so that will be nice. I may be drawing in part of that eyebrow for a while though!! :-) The battle of will with my kids is going well. We were closer to a reasonable bedtime last night and there was less sassing. The husband and I need to get back to brainwashing ourselves with Love and Logic still... but progress is being made.

The mother inlaw is going to be recovering in the hospital for a while yet -- she is lucky not to be in ICU. I'm glad for her that things have worked out pretty well. She is in a single person room so does not have to deal with a room mate. I frustrated with my father inlaw because he doesn't even call the nurse to check on her. I understand not turning on the phone (since your phone charges at this hospital can be more than your operation), but not calling to check on her? He works all day and heads to the hospital after work.

She is only a few days out of surgery and has been the queen of complications in the past. I'm trying hard not to but in, and this is difficult. I know patients get better care when their family shows interest. Her family sucks for this. She tells them to stay away so she can play the martyr. They are a crazy bunch. Passive aggressive stuff makes me crazy. I told my husband that if I'm in the hospital and he acts like his father I will be forced to kill him. He agrees his dad is an ass.
