I am in such a bad mood today.

I'm not really sure why. It could be that all my hair is falling out.  It could be that my 6 year old's leg problem is not resolving and I have no idea what's causing it.  It could be that my house is never clean.  Or that I walk around like a zombie because I'm so tired.  Maybe because my husband has been gone for 7 and a half months, and he'll be gone for 7 and a half more and just when it seemed like the end was in sight the end got moved way the hell back.  Or something. 

Orian's leg isn't improving.  He woke up in the middle of the night sobbing because of it.  He had a field trip today and the teacher called from school to find out if I wanted him to go because she was concerned about his leg.  He hobbles around slowly, wincing, and fussing. 

I made an appointment for Tuesday AM, but I may want him seen before that.  It's so hard to get an appointment and next to impossible to get one with your primary care provider.  At the Town Hall meeting they attributed it to the deployment, although I don't understand how that makes it worse.

I was going to keep him out of Cub Scouts today because I want him resting his leg, and the den leader is tied up in Honolulu, and the other child is at a dentist appt, so there is no meeting, so I don't have to feel guilty about us not going.  It was always a small group, but 2 children have dropped out and one moved, so it's down to 3 kids, and sometimes just 2.

Xavier has a Cub Scouts field trip to the commissary.  I typically insist on attending all those things with the boys, but I don't want to get Orian out and it's to the commissary, so I feel safe letting him go with the den leader.  He won't be gone long. 

I think I'm in a bad mood because I have a headache.  I just realized I'm frowning. 

I finally got to hear from my husband.  He's having a shitty day too.  His is much shittier than mine though.  At least I have the babies here with me and I'm not searching limbless torsos for intel.  That would be a much worse day, I think.  I would probably puke.  It's just another day to him I guess.  He doesn't like it when they bring kids in though.

I ordered Chinese food.  The guy on the phone thought my order sounded good.  I didn't know he got paid to critique my order.  Maybe he was just making conversation.  He didn't really have to do that, though.

I'm having Crab Rangoons, Garlic Fried Rice, and Shrimp with Garlic Sauce.  The boys are splitting Lemon Chicken and Sticky Rice.  Izzy is having Garlic Milk with a creamy Crab Rangoon base. 

I am waiting for the den leader to pick Xavier up and the food to get here so I can change into my pajama bottoms. 

Izzy has learned something new.  She sticks her tongue out now. It's very cute.  Not like a puppy dog, but a pokey tongue like she's being sassy.  I love it.  I remember when Xavier did that when he was a baby.

She woke up from her nap and she's staring me down.  It's like a chess tournament and she's waiting for me to make my move.  Haha. 

Maybe I will take something for my headache.

Ooooh, food's here.
