Falling Like Flies

John is down for the count. He thinks that he may be staying home from work tomorrow if he doesn't feel any better by tomorrow morning. I feel bad for him, but I am a little excited to have a babysitter here tomorrow! Is that wrong? I have a ton of errands to do and it would be great to be able to do them without kids! Christmas cards will be sent out tomorrow and I have to make a special trip to the post office to figure out how to send something to Australia (for Maree)! I could also go grocery shopping without children and get everything accomplished in half the time without any little ones in tow! How I'm torn!
This morning I had to get my 1-hour glucose test done to make sure that I am not a gestational diabetic. I was dreading the appointment until John made arrangements to stay home for an hour this morning so that I could go and get the test without dragging the kids along. I have to sit in the office for 1 hour after drinking the glucose drink before I get the blood draw and I was picturing what their office would look like if all three kids had to stay in an office filled with needles and blood for an hour first thing in the morning. It wouldn't have been pretty! Anyways, John stayed home with them and I went by myself and it was glorious. I read the entire paper cover to cover without a single interruption! I addressed Christmas cards and stamped them. I hummed Christmas tunes. I completed every thought that passed through my head! One silly old man made the mistake of trying to start up a conversation with me in the waiting room and I gave him a beat down. I had an hour to myself and my thoughts and I wasn't going to share it with anyone, especially a perfect stranger! It might not be such a bad thing if I fail the one hour test and have to come back for the 4 hour glucose test now that I think about it would it!?!?!?
