Roughing It

Really, this is the only pic that facebook would let me grab? Sigh. I am having SUCH a better day than yesterday. I even got showered and cute and everything! AND wanted to take pics of myself. Yeah, that's an indicator of how good I'm feeling, you know...

Oh wait, I figured it out! I just had to restart facebook, and it's working now- hehe.

Anyway, got ready, got kids on the bus, and Captain America and I headed to the hospital for his appointment. About his bloody belly button. I dropped him off at the door, and drove around for what felt like FOREVER looking for a parking spot. It was insane. My Ft. Bliss peeps can testify that it's NOT easy to find a parking spot. Unless you're Hilary, then apparently you find them real easy. See, I knew there was a good reason I'm always your passenger....

Anyway, I finally found some dude walking to his car, followed him, and waited for him to leave. JUST so I could find a spot. It wasn't even close. I didn't care. Any spot would do :)

Me on the way to his appointment. See, I look better :)
So the appointment was on the 2nd floor, in the basement, and there was NO cell/internet signal. Whaaaat? That's SO uncool. So I took pictures of us instead. See, I can entertain myself!

Here's me smiling. And apparently the muscles that control my smile also control my forehead. See, smile, and raise eyebrows. Just works that way...

So I tried to smile and NOT raise my eyebrows. Did it work?

This one is kinda normal

And Captain America

So the doc came in and took a much closer look at the xrays and such, and determined that it wasn't anything serious. They COULD do a surgery to poke around, but it probably wouldn't find anything. Captain America was SO relieved. His belly button was getting infected. That's it. Thank goodness. He wasn't so happy about going on the Non Deployable list. Not cool.

Anyway, we headed back out, and stopped at Circle K on the way home. Here's me and my tiny drink. Only 32 oz.I LOVE my white sunglasses. hehe

Jimmy wanted his pic taken with me before the bus.

So I got Jimmy on the bus, and had to return a few things to Laurie. Some fancy dresses I'd borrowed. Cause I'm a bad friend, and keep things FOREVER before returning them. hehe.

I stayed and chatted with her for about an hour. And then I noticed this. Nice. hehe.
Hilary texted about 12:45 and wanted us to go to Sam's with her to get Ice for the campout. So she picked us up, and she and I and Laurie and Rowan headed out. Here's Laurie

And Rowan

And me

Um, where's the picture of my driver???

We stopped at Walmart first to get personal hygene wipes, cause we ARE camping primitive, with no running water OR showers. So that was a necesity!

Here's Rowan getting ran over by Hilary. Funny, huh? He sure thought so. Pinned between the conveyer belt and Ms Hilarys shopping cart...

She's enjoying it EVEN more than he is...

Then on to Sam's. Yeah, I LOVED this coat. But NOT the price...

On the way out, I grabbed a Sam's soda cup, and filled it up with Coke Zero. And it really tasted funny. See, nasty!
I gave it away to my kids. Not nasty as in, gross, but nasty as in maybe not sugar free. Anyway, total bust.... dang...

We loaded back up, and headed home, ice and all. We picked up Jimmy from the bus stop, and Hilary dropped me off at Lauries house, where my truck was. I grabbed 3 -20lb bags of ice, and headed home. Jake helped me unload thm to the freezer, and I headed in to blog. It's now 4pm, and I'm all pre-blogged for 4 days. No internet reception where we're going. I'm SERIOUSLY gonna go thru withdrawls... hehe.

So now I need to go and pack. Jake's packed. But no one else. Wish me luck. We're wanting to leave as soon as Captain America gets home, which means that I need to get a move on...
