Thanks to everyone for their support for my own personal hell earlier this week.  As I have had time to reflect, I realize how much worse it could have been.  A friend posted a link on the board how popping of the gears with Chrylsers and that happens to be the mini van we have.  Also, many of the stories in that article did not end so happy, so I am very, very lucky.  I am a little manic about where the kids are at all times, but hey, that is reasonable.  I am just so grateful that we are all ok.

This van has no damage that keeps us from driving it.  Body wise, it needs some work.  Normally a couple of thousand, but we found a friend of a friend who will do the work for about $550.  And he can't do it for about 6 weeks, so that buys us time to save and find the dollars.

I am not feeling so well.  Aside from normal pains of stunt womaning into the moving minivan, I think I may have pulled something from my surgery.  As soon as I came out of surgery, I had the most AWFUL pain on my right side, not by my incision, but higher, next to my belly button.  I could wake up out of a sleep crying cause it hurt so badly.  The doctors could not even touch it with out me yelping.  Since Weds., I have been having awful pain in the same spot.  It is not like at the hospital when I need Tylenol 3 and percocet rotated every 2 hours, but it is about the same as when I first got home.   Everything hurts, even raising my arm hurts my belly.  And I have this burning pain there as well as the constant.  My 4 week PP check is Tues, so I will tell my doc then.  I am sure I just aggravated it.  I am sure stunts are not part of a c-section and tubal recovery.

BIG NEWS:  Kit has pretty much potty trained himself as long as he is not in a diaper.  He even has been doing poops on the potty.  YEAY KIT!  I put him in a pair of Sam's panties today when we went outside to play and told him not to pee in them.  He started to pee cause he forgot, but then came to me so I could take him inside to the potty.  Tomorrow we will go and get him big boy underpants.  *Sigh*   They get big so fast!  Altho the thought  of no more diapers with him is great!

Other news:  My MIL is coming for a visit this June.  She  and Ben are pretty direct when dealing with each other and it seems to work for them.  Last time I worked like a dog, but never said anything until after she left.  This time, I am saying my expectations of Ben to Ben before she gets here.  Not in a mean way, just in a direct way.  Also, he will taking the whole time off, which I think will help.  Last time everything pretty much fell to me and it was too much.  And now I will have a 3 month old on top of everything else.  (Miss Susanna will be 3 months by then....)  I think it can be a nice visit.

SHOCKING NEWS:  Susanna turns 1 month tomorrow!  When the heck did that happen?????  Am I going to turn around and blink and suddenly she will be potty trained too????????
