Mud and Depression....

Don't you love it when you work so hard all day to get things done and to make the most of your Saturday.. And you feel like you are standing in place. I am going to be laid up next week(explanation below) and Russ worked all day today so I tried to get all of the laundry done, groceries etc.. Just as I had pulled the last load of laundry out of the dryer today I look outside to find Ivy in her brand new really cute spring capri's with mud all over them. The boys were covered also. (That's what I get for putting the boys in charge of Ivy outside) So in about 5 minutes I had another full load of laundry. Trying to get mud out of Ivy's pants was easy it is the shirt that has been the trick.. Any suggestions??













It was a beautiful day though and we are sad Russ wasn't able to enjoy it with us..
So, now the reason I am going to be laid up next week.. Last Monday I woke up having some pretty bad symptoms with my heart. I called my cardiologist and they told me to go right to the ER. Well, I felt like that was a little dramatic but went anyway because I didn't know what else to do; after briefing Eli on how to call 911 "if you can't wake mommy up" and draining the water out of Ivy's bath because I thought I might fall in and drowned and she would be left there in a cold bath with me.. (not a pretty thought but that is how my mind works in moments like that.) They did an EKG and found that I needed to go back in and have that EP study/ablation done AGAIN!! Really guys it was torture, I think my Doc specializes in torture on the side, and now he is saying that I have to go through it all again.... cry, sniff, sniff... I am beside myself a little. He actually wanted me to stay in the hospital for a week until they could do the study on Monday. His words were "but I know you have "several kids" so we can send you home with medicine and you have to promise to come back if you have any symptoms." Yes, he really said "several kids" ahh HELLO! hardly several. Anyway, here we go again. He had better fix me this time! Thanks for everyone taking my kids and taking good care of us.. Hopefully my drama queen days will be over soon!
