The Countdown has begun

My baby. My little boy. My sweet, gentle, lovable child leaves July 20 for Marine Corps basic training or better know as boot camp. I'm going to miss him so much.

OK I have painted the end tables, cleaned the kitchen and our bedroom. And I do mean clean. And organized. Organized and cleaned the hall closet, the laundry room- Am progressing on the den and the dining room (which doubles as a workroom and the computer area.

My MIL wants us to move the computer into what is now Megan's room and move Megan into Andrew's room when Andrew goes to boot camp- however they don't have kids so they don't realize the computer is in a central location for a reason. The reason being so mom can see what the kids are doing on it! Megan has almost succeeded in signing herself up for clubs online that cost a lot of money for what they are. Club Penquin and such at 50-60 a year for a 7 yr old to play on. I so don't think so!

I just read my SIL Trish's blog and am going to look into a Zumba class. Sounds good!

TMJ -- TMI?

Well the toothache turned out to not be the tooth but rather TMJ disorder. I took a LOT of Motrin and I mean a lot about 4 every 3-4 hours for several days and it wasn't helping so I was just about ready to call the dentist and request narcotics when I decided to take some Sudafed for my stuffy nose and the pain went away. Came back and I took more Sudafed and bam went away. So the TMJ is being aggravated by my messed up sinuses. The TMJ had never bothered me before. My jaw clicks but only when I open my mouth really wide something I don't do often.

Anyway... Now I'm taking lots of Sudafed instead of lots of Motrin.

My vacation started today and I didn't get anything accomplished - I have a week to get so very much done so it's off the computer and into the kitchen I go :)
