The best laid plans

[mugglechump]

Meredith came to me on Saturday to tell me that she needs a physical in order to try out for cheerleading TODAY. o.O So, I stayed home today to try to get her an appointment somewhere and also because I really just need some alone time. I'm almost never home by myself - James and/or Mer are always here. It's been driving me a little crazy lately. My doctor's office is booked, so I have to take her to an Urgent Care place, which will cost quite a bit more than my $10 co-pay at the regular doctor. But that's not the worst of it.

Meredith came upstairs after her shower to show me a rash on her shoulders and back. It could be poison ivy or something innocuous like that, but it looked an awful lot like chicken pox. She had chicken pox as a baby, but it was a pretty mild case, so it's entirely possible that she could get it again. Which would, of course, mean she'd miss try-outs, and several days of school, and I would have to quit carpooling with Becky for fear of passing something on to her while she's still in her first trimester of pregnancy. I'm not sure if I even could pass chicken pox on to her, but that's just not a risk I'm willing to take, you know?

And, on a more selfish & whiny note, it would mean that my alone time for today just got screwed.

Damnit.

*huggles tight* I am also on the whiney, selfish AND pitiful list... *sigh*

I hope it all works out for Mer...SURELY it's not chicken pox...*prays*

Thanks for asking after me, hon...I thanked you in response over at my journal. *more hugs* ...'cause I need 'em, too!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Well, if you need them *more hugs for Urs*.

It was not chicken pox. Yay!

I'm sorry you've been feeling funky lately. I hope there's nothing too serious going on. *huggles & loves*

Thank-you, Bugg! *holds on tight*

Isn't your friend Becky having twins? How is she doing with that? is she already showing? *nosy*

How are you my dear, we haven't spoken in AGES

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, she is having twins. She's been doing pretty well. No real morning sickness to speak of, and she's not showing just yet. Probably in the next month or so she'll start. Thank you for asking about her!

I'm getting along alright, I suppose. I'm spending WAY too much time playing Sims 2 and not nearly enough writing my stories or doing housework.

How about you? Anything new and exciting down in Gilmer?

*hugs*

[shady121.livejournal.com]

Nothing to exciting at least. I get senior pictures done today. Uhm... that's about it. Nothing worth mentioning is happening. Gilmer is very exciting as you can see...

See? This is why Emmie and I have worked out a plan of attack to come kidnap you for a couple of days. You need a break!

The Plan:
Gina: okay, new plan
Gina: we need to kidnap Kate and take her on a much needed vacation
Gina: so that way we get to go on vacation too
Emmie: oh true.
Gina: i am so smart sometimes
Gina: it's scary
Emmie: The geniusness.
Gina: i came up with the idea
Gina: now you must think of a foolproof plan
Emmie: We roadtrip, ring the doorbell, and cover her head with with a burlap sack.
Emmie: then take it off around 5 minutes later, with the doors locked on the vehicle and yell SURPISE! and hand out icecream.

We are amazing. Oh, and prayers for Mer, I had the pox twice and they sucked muchly!

Muahahah! I win!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

You are the greatest plan maker of all time!

*hugs Emmie*

[crazy-lil-loud1.livejournal.com]

I really do. I should do this for a living...

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

That is a GREAT plan! I'd totally go for that.

I love you, dear. I got your card today! I was grinning from ear to ear. The butterfly was awesome. You are quite the arteest.

I'm sorry about your friend. That's a terrible thing to come home to. I know you're feeling guilty, but there was nothing you could have done. *snuggles tight* I'm praying for you, and your friend's family.

[crazy-lil-loud1.livejournal.com]

Goodness you are being run down by the too of them. You should just tell them to LEAVE YOU ALONE! and lock yourself into a room. *nods*

I hope she doesn't have chickenpox. But it is one thing ot check out at the doctor when you go to get the physical!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

*giggles* They aren't so bad. It's just that some times you need a little time to yourself, you know? I'm a pretty independent person, so if I don't get some 'me' time once in a while I get cranky.

I'm all for the kidnapping plan, BTW. I won't even fight!

[crazy-lil-loud1.livejournal.com]

Even if you aren't fighting against it, I still want to use a burlap sack, I have always wanted to use one of them! =P!

[dragonsangel68.livejournal.com]

I hope it's not chicken pox! Sorry about your alone time, it truly sucks when your best laid plans go to waste *hugs*

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

It's not chicken pox after all. Yay!

I managed to get a little time for myself in today. Not as much as I'd've liked, but I'll take what I can get!

*hugs*
