i think im ripping off a movie when I say "this is my life, and its happening one minute at a time"
Here we are, trying to prepare for "the big surgery" ...it Christmas too- in case you didnt notice...did I mention the dryer poo'ed the bed - so off to write a check for a new washer and dryer - because why the heck not? After all, to repair the old inefficient one we might as well get a new one- and a washer that uses 30 less gallons of water than our old one - the old one is PROBABLY the reason our septic tank pouts everytime it rains..take it from me - you can only let pee marinate sooooo long before it stinks in the toliet. Ridiculous. Gross. Life.
Mira had a dental appointment, no biggie - she's covered under my new dental insurance and Roberts- 3 sealants, xrays and a cleaning later we get a bill and discover that she never quite made it to Rob's insurance. Weeee here's another check for a coupla hundred bucks. Did I mention Christmas is coming??
Eye doctor visit, because of course, the teacher says Mira is squinting at overhead projector at school. I knew where this was going...ya cant fool me. Christmas is coming. OF COURSE she needs glasses. She looks so cute in them though - and she's so excited because all of her bff's have glasses...
Mira needs a dress for her Winter Ball at school. I cant have her going in a Wally World special. This is my marathon running girls' first semi formal. I have cancer. Everything needs to be pretty and Im desperate to make it picture perfect, for her. Even if she doesnt know about me. It is, after all Christmas- its a magikal time of year you know.
I can stress about money, feel guilty about everyone else throwing out money for things I consider luxuries and somehow be thankful that it is me who has this dreadful thing- because somewhere in this beautiful mess, Im quite positive Im still one of the luckiest people I know.
