The kids go back to school tomorrow. I have a million things to do today and I'm just... tired.

Tonight we went to pick up a few things from the Home Depot (or Home Peepo as Juli calls it) in preparation for putting in our new family room windows. This was a much needed project as the old picture window had a chunk missing. It looked like a rock or something was kicked up by a mower. It was double paned so the inside pane didn't have a hole, just the outer one, but it looked crappy.

Today I went fo my ENT appointment. It was crazy. He looked in my ears and found a hole in my eardrum. Then he numbed my nose and stuck a tube thing in it and down my throat -GROSS! He said my adenoids are big, as well as my tonsils. Yeah, I had my adenoids removed when I was about 5 or 6, those suckers grew back! So, he thinks they should come out. It's not a pressing issue. So I asked him if we can wait until February if possible - I have a full schedule from now until January. The doc said recovery would be "every bit of 16-18 days, maybe more" depending on how I heal.

After the nose tube, I went for a hearing test. I definitely have hearing loss. Apparently I also have a hole in BOTH eardrums. The one was so small the doctor didn't see it with the regular scope thing. They did a pressure test and found it that way. Then I went back to a different room where he looked into my ears with a HUGE microscope thing. Yep - 2 holes. One is so big that he thinks it is contributing to the hearing loss and I should have it repaired. He doesn't do that kind of surgery so he is referring me to his colleague. The colleague only works in the city, so I have to make an appointment to go see them there. Luckily that surgery is outpatient.

So yep, 2 surgeries for me. Fun, huh?

I got my Nifty Fifty lens today! Woo-hoo! I can't wait to try it out! It didn't come until pretty late tonight, so I didn't have time or good light to take pictures. I can't wait until tomorrow!

57/365: Grocery Shopping

Horrible picture, but it's the only one I took today. I ran to the grocery store before I picked the girls up from school. It's SO much easier that way. I snapped a picture because I was happy I remembered to take my reusable shopping bags in.

We got home and things got hectic. I did not get a chance to take another picture. So this is it.

Tonight instead of a bath Juli wanted to take a shower, "all by herself". So I let her. I kept opening the doors and checking on her, but she did a great job. She was really proud of herself!

We went to Katie's 3rd birthday party today. It was a Dora party. Dora herself showed up! Unfortunately most of the kids (including Katie) did not like the life-size Dora and ended up crying! Juli was happy to see her. Livi, not so much.

Today after being sick all afternoon from my newest round of antibiotics we decided to get out of the house for a bit. We were lucky enough to spy this double rainbow. It's kind of hard to see the second arch on top, but it is there. I only had my point and shoot in my purse so this was the best I could do.

It did make a bright spot in my otherwise dreary day. I think this was the first time I have ever seen an entire rainbow from one end to the other, and a double one at that! It was huge and I could not get it all in the picture. It was so bright and beautiful!

We went to a playground near our house that we hadn't been to before. The play equipment was SO old! Most of the paint was chipping off. We actually left in search of a better, more up-to-date playground!

We took the girls to Sweet and Sassy for haircuts. It's a little spa-like place for little girls. Juli loves it there. She sat and had her haircut while Livi watched. I didn't think Livi would sit for a haircut, but we gave it a shot. She LOVED it! She was hamming it up saying "cheeese" the whole time!

I took Juli to the doctor this afternoon for a little pimple like lump that turned out to be a cyst. Don't worry they said it should go away on it's own, they see it all the time, it's harmless.

Anyway, all of the exam rooms are painted in a theme. We were in the space room. Juli was pretending to be an astronaut, so I took a picture of her "in space" with her space station. She told me she was looking for moon rocks.

This morning I woke up with a sore throat and by noon I knew I had strep throat again. I've had it more times than I can even remember already this year. Luckily my doctor knows this and didn't even make me come in to get my antibiotics. I couldn't make it into the office anyway since I had to make through a meeting with my CEO and the CEOs of the two banks that own us.

I did manage to take my 365 shot before I feel into bed with a 103.5 fever.

I went out looking for shoes today. I have been on a hunt for casual summer shoes. So far nothing has caught my eye. I did see these shoes that I thought would be perfect for the CU Punk Rock Assignment!

I did not buy them! LOL I just took a picture of them!

Today was a crazy day. We were all set to go to Great Adventure for my dad's birthday with our whole family and my aunt and cousins. The tickets for all three parks were purchased weeks ago. I ran around like a nut last night and this morning packing and getting all of our stuff together. We hop in the car bright and early this morning and we get 3/4 of the way to my sister's house and Olivia threw up ALL over herself, the car, her carseat. Juli had also been coughing a lot. We were 2 blocks from my brother and sister's apartment so I gave them our tickets and had to head home. Luckily they found someone to give them to.

Juli was REALLY disappointed that we couldn't go. Livi fell asleep on the way home and I guess it made her feel better. She was fine the rest of the day. So we decided to go out in the little pool for a while. Juli found this flower and put it in her bucket and told me she had a beautiful present to make me smile. It certainly did.

Not the best picture I have taken lately, but it was kind of funny. Livi has that busted look on her face, but I think she was just mid-krispy. I went to the dryer to grab the clothes out and this is what I found when I got back. Not sure how Juli got the rice krispies since they were on a shelf in the pantry. Guess it's time to lock the pantry!

I had frappacino on the brain all morning so at lunch time I decided to head over to the Starbucks in the Barnes & Noble. I also got an Italian Pannini while I was there. SO good!

Yes that is a window air conditioner in my bedroom. Our brand new central air kicked the bucket today. We have had them out multiple times since the install and it hasn't ever really gotten cold. They were out again today and it was working (still not COLD though) when they left. When I got home from work, it was 84 degrees in my family room. I had to have my brother-in-law come over and throw in the window unit. They are coming back on Friday. Hopefully the problem will be solved then!!

For Chrissy's bachelorette party we started our night out at the Copa on South Street. This guy was with a group that sat down next to us. Interesting hair do.

We took Livi to her 15 month appointment today. She did great. She is 27 pounds and is 32.5 inches long! She got two shots but only cried for a second.

Today was a strange day. Rain would come in heavy downpours and then it would lighten and the sun would come out. A little while later the heavy downpours would begin again.
