Randomness

Thanks for the comments on the glucose test post.  I will admit that I was initially feeling very apprehensive about my retest on Tuesday.  I kind of felt like I did in school when I failed a test and had to retake it.  Like I wasn't quite up to par.  (Not that I failed many tests...)  But thanks to Beth and Alicia, I feel a little more prepared for what might be in store if I was to fail the test, and Mary and everyone else who has reminded me to enjoy the 3 hours of mostly sedentary time.  I bought a new book today that I'm withholding from myself until Tuesday morning.  So that will help to pass the time pretty quickly.  I went with "Confessions of a Shopaholic".  Certainly not the "Lost" of the book realm, but I think waiting in the doctor's office requires more of a mindless reading material.  Plus the movie looks cute, so I may as well read the book before I see it.  So I can be disappointed like I always am once I see the movie after reading the book.

On to our weekend, Garrett is now officially in his new bedroom.  We haven't hung anything on the walls yet, but everything is in his new room, the painting is finished, new curtains are hung, etc.  His first night in his room was NOT good.  I really hope he'll adjust quickly.  We've taken off the bedrail on his bed because he never really seemed to sleep up next to it, so I don't think he needs it.  And that didn't seem to be his problem last night.  He was just very restless and crying out in his sleep a lot.  Then at 3am he came to our room.  I know I need to put an end to that before it becomes a habit for him, but I didn't last night.  I will soon, though.  But last night, when he came in our room I asked him what he was doing and he said "Nuffing", as he climbed into our bed with his blanket.  I'm not sure why he thought that was "nuffing".  Hopefully tonight will be much better.  Would it be terribly mean of me to lock our bedroom door after we go to bed?  Yeah, I figured you would think so.  As soon as we get everything hung on the walls like we want, then I'll post pictures of the room makeover.  

Once I get this test out of the way, we'll be looking forward to visiting with several members of my family this week.  First, my aunt, uncle, cousin, her kids, my grandparents, and another uncle are all coming over to my house for a visit on Friday.  My cousin will be going back to Massachusetts next week after spending over a month in Texas visiting her family.  She's never been to my house before, so they're all coming over to spend the day and eat lunch with us.  Then on Friday night, my youngest sister and brother, Christie and Jesse, will be coming to my house from Indiana.  They'll be on their way to a wedding in south Texas, so they're stopping by our house for some free food and lodging.  Then I'm using them as free postal service to send birthday gifts back to my parents and my nephew who all have birthdays coming up as well as a gift for my yet-to-be-born nephew who will be joining us in less than a month.  

So we're looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday.  Garrett thinks his cousin Jake is coming because we bought his birthday present the other day.  He asked if we could make him a cake and sing happy birthday.  Well, even though Jake isn't coming, assuming my test comes back with good results, maybe we can make that cake and celebrate on our own.
