Not so Wordless Monday # 5

This weeks not so wordless mondays are brought to you by the letter S... As in SPONGEBOB!

Yep my son has discovered a overpowering love for everything spongebob! All it took was one 30 minute show because mommy was "going to go nuts if she didn't get at least 2 blogs written." 

No regrets! We broke out the spongebob pjs I had put up for christmas and its a good thing cause even though they are 12 months they fit him perfectly! So here is our week in review :D

Taking a short couple of day break

Sorry folks but I am going to have to take a few days to me. 

My grandmother just had a stroke her 3rd in the past year and is in the hospital. 

As well as the fact that as I type this as a distraction for myself I am waiting for a ride to get here to take myself and my son to the hospital because I have been having a horrible gall bladder attack [picture entire stomach being ripped through your front and back, that is about 85 pct of the pain] since 6:30am this morning.

The pain pills that I have for such an occassion are not working this time so maybe -fingers crossed- I might be getting surgery this time and solve this problem once and for all. 

My ride has just arrived so I bid you farewell and thanks for the distraction from the pain! 

(already scheduled posts will still go on!)
