Lonely

Austin has been testing people lately. He has developed somewhat of an attitude and speaks to people as if they are stupid or otherwise impeding on his precious time. So, because of this, I was looking forward to some quiet time while he is with David this week. However, here it is Wednesday, and I MISS my boy. It's actually pretty lonely and while Hannah Montana and China are not interesting topics of conversation for me (as they are for Austin) I even miss hearing him talk about those things. Two more days.

I was thinking about Austin earlier today and it popped into my head all of the things he has wanted to be when he grows up (since he turned 8). His list follows: Scientist, Meteorologist, police officer, a worker at McDonalds, a magician, and a store owner.

My mom and new my new doctor

My mom had surgery two days ago to repair a hernia. More details can be found on my sister's blog. The day of the surgery she seemed to be in a lot of pain and was sleeping during most of my visit. Last night she was released to go home. Today, she seemed quite mobile and feeling better. I'm sure she is sore even with the pain meds but she is handling it like a trooper. She can't drive until she is off the meds so she gets a chauffer for a while.

Today I had my annual women's doctor appointment with a new doctor. She came highly recommended, but she and her staff were all really unfriendly and did not ask some important questions (in my opinion). I guess I will be on the search again next year.

the regionals

Due to the misfortune of one other boy, Austin will now get to race his derby car at the regionals. He is very excited. It really is too bad for the other kid. Unfortunately this event is on my weekend. I think I may try to trade David so I don't have to go. Waiting an hour for your son to have a two second turn and then waiting another hour before his next turn, is a bit like watching paint dry ;(
