Life has been busy.

Blayne had surgery last Thursday, he had his adenoids removed along with the tubes in his ears replaced. His tonsils were not removed... guess Dr. Brownlee wants to wait to do that later, if necessary. I'm glad... I just hope this will cure the ear infections.

Surgery went well...Blayne had a bit of trouble with the anesthesia. We were at the hospital a bit longer than normal, but once we got home Blayne settled down.

Friday was a pretty good day, I stayed home Thursday and Friday with Blayne. We played outside a bit on Friday (Blayne's favorite thing to do) and didn't go anywhere. He slept well Friday night and seemed to be feeling good.

Yesterday, we had to be in Muskogee at 9:!5 to do some bloodwork for our Insurance company. Routine draw, but man... I was starving. We went to MCEMS to get the work done, then stopped by dads. Blayne played with Dad and Rita's dog, maggie and we walked through the greenhouse and garden. It is beautiful...I should have snapped some pictures. Dangit.
After visiting with the grandparents, we went to Pauls' Diner in Muskogee for breakfast. Blayne was very good, eating his cracker and drinking his juice. There were a couple of kids sitting behind us that were acting aweful. Blayne kept looking at them, then back to Kevin and I with the look- Mom, they are BAD! After breakfast, we stopped by Doug and Leighs, then back home that afternoon.
I should have noticed my little guy at this point. He was so sleepy... but we had plans for dinner and a trip to the new Riverspirit Casino so we went ahead and took Blayne over to Jeff and Christie's to play.

We went to dinner, steak. Then off to the casino. I am NOT a gambler... I talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, I am not interested in giving my money away without something shiny to show for it. Nevertheless, I was curious to see what the inside looked like. We arrived around 8pm, took the shuttle to the door and walked in. It was pretty. The atmosphere was nice, the people were friendly, and the place didn't smell like a cigarette. The ventalatiion was fantastic. We sat down at the penny machine and spent an hour giving away $40 bucks. It was fun...

We picked up Blayne around 10pm. He was asleep but very restless. He cried all the way home.. poor guy. He had a major case of overstimulation. Today will be a lot of rest and relaxation for him. Right now, he is sleeping...finally.

I go back to work tomorrow. I will have to admit, I am looking forward to it... a litle.
