I meant high cholesterol, not blood pressure.

I hate it when I mis-type.

Ok, other than that dour subject...

Fun mom thing of yesterday: let the kids paint.

Also, we went to a birthday party at BounceU. I've never been, and I rather dread kids' parties (y'all know about my social anxiety and my kids-will-be-harmed paranoia). Well, I am strongly considering having Andy's party at BounceU ;) That much fun! For those who don't know, BounceU is a giant inflatable playland. Like those Moonwalk bouncers but to the max. Giant slide, obstacle course, boxing ring. Blast!

In the car on the way home from church I informed my thankless family that I am no longer speaking to them. Andy laughed. The kids didn't notice or care. I'm sticking by it. I'm offering to make soft tacos for lunch, and I'm scorned. Andy's telling me I'm wrong and he's right (always a bad decision). Worthless. I'm going to sit on the couch while they all nap and enjoy the solitude. They'll be lucky if I'm speaking to them at dinner. And the soft taco offer is off the table.

BounceU is a pretty fun place. Aaron had a class party there one time and the kids had a blast. I have the same problem with anxiety, we went to the rodeo on Friday night and I was not doing too well with the kids riding those cheesy carnival rides that I was sure were gonna fall apart right there. Emily found my 'about' panic attack quite funny. I don't see the facsination with those horrid rides, ugh! James was trying to reassure me that they were held together with heavy duty construction, but I wasn't totally buying it.

I hope you are having some nice quiet peaceful time this afternoon ;)

You go girl. Stand by your principles. The solitude will be nice. Have fun.

I was wondering why the Blood Center sent you a card telling you your blood pressure was high, when they could have told you that when they took it. High cholesterol makes more sense. But that stinks. Now you'll get to learn all about HDL and LDL. Aren't you lucky!!

Stick to your guns and enjoy your solitude.

I was worried about the high blood pressure - so young, so thin, decided it must be horrible kids causing it (my blood pressue is high when I am in a lot of pain - otherwise ok, so I always assume someone elses is not clogged arteries but some 'pain') - kidding about the kids, but high cholesterol more normal - and yeah - HDL and LDL - go Wiki it...

Two words about BounceU.... Invite ME! BTW the word verification is 'clogish', just like your veins.

BouncU is fun girl! But expensive!! Corinne had her bday there a couple of years ago and it cost me a pretty penny. And I am glad your cholesterol is high and not your bp.. . stop eating so many potato chips girl! Seriously, cut down on the salt if u can and you'll be fine. Stick with Coke! :) no salt there.

I hope your cholesterol turns out ok. That would be such a nuisance! I would like to say that I am so proud of you for taking the kids to BounceU, but so much of me hates those places that I am having trouble saying it. So for now great job on the painting!!
