Love, Candace: Life lately

The past couple days as of late have been spent lying around and feeling good and then bad, and back and fourth between a nine and four on the pain scale. I think I've learned pretty much all there is to learn about the healing process of tonsil removal surgery, so I'm no longer going to talk about that. Instead I thought I would share some things that stood out to me in the past ohhh 48 hours or so.

I left the house. Two different days, two different occasions, same location, same circumstance. I got to ride....in the passenger's seat...to the chiropractor and back. Usually I totally don't mind not driving around town. I'd much rather be the passenger in fact. Because I do a lot of driving during the school week and I find it annoying...and by (it) I mean other drivers..but the past two days I felt like I was re-living those days back in Vietnam when I wasn't old enough to drive yet and my parents had to be my taxi driver. It was cool.

The Power went out for about fifteen to twenty minutes last night. It broke down in terms of time like this:

First five minutes: I stumbled around looking for my phone in the dark so I could turn on my super convenient flashlight app instead of walking ten feet in the opposite direction of where my phone was actually just chillin' right out in the open and just getting a real flashlight.

Next five: cried about how I couldn't warm up my rice/bean bag thing that has been by my side non-stop for the past six days in the microwave. And then realizing that water wouldn't come out of the fridge and crying about that too. (When I say cry I don't actually mean that I cried...jeeze people. Don't be so quick to judge.)

Last five-ten: walked around enjoying the dark and playing with my little flashlight, yes the real one, not the one on my phone. Also wondering if maybe the power outage was the beginning of a zombie attack in my neighborhood. Don't worry. It wasn't.

I realized just how hard being a mommy is these past couple of days. My stomach and my throat just will not hardly give me a moment of peace. One is constantly crying and whining about being hungry and wanting food other than mashed potatoes, and the second I try to give her something different, the other kiddo chimes in and starts complaining that she doesn't want any of that other stuff. I can't please one without disappointing the other. The only time they are both getting along and I'm not completely sick of them is when they take their naps. And seriously...thank goodness for naps. What can I say, unconditional love right?

Haven't seen ma boyfriend. So uh...that sucks. His car is sick so he's stuck at home. Looking forward to seeing him and his arms tomorrow though.

Today I got to see the Lane littles. And boy did they brighten up my day! Those two little voices singing "Fat Bottom Girls" and dancing and talking about deer. Very fun. I also decided to pretend to be a photographer for today. Since leaving the house wasn't an option I photographed the room that I've lived in the past week and some things that I've seen over and over again. Also shot some cute moments of my visitors being here. Pics below.
