Beginning of my week

Well, I am feeling a little better from the shingles. I love the meds that they have for that. I have to admit though, that it is kinda disconcerting to know that I am at the pharmacy so much that the pharmacist knows me by name/face and what meds I am used to and what is new. She gave me the prednizone and said "you have taken these, you know what they are" then she gave me the anti viral and she is like.. this one is new.. so this is what you are going to see..   Ya.. at least I am not a pharm hopper to get the "good drugs" course.. with fibro I don't have to be. haha!
This week has been full of getting things done and ready for the reunion this weekend. I can't wait! I am so excited to have my family all around me!!! I have to admit though to feeling a little sad that my mom won't be here in body. She will for sure be here in spirit. I love that my Aunts want to be here so we can represent my mom. I know all my Aunts love their big sister and miss her every day. I can't imagine what it would be like. My mom was the oldest.. so for them to have her every day of their entire lives and then one day she is gone. As hard as it is to loose a mom, I don't even want to pretend to know what it is like from their side. I just only hope I am half the woman my mom was and wanted me to be. I hope all have a good time. I know it has been fun to put it all together.
I think I am going to have to get rid of my new little puppy. Our big dogs aren't handling her presence well. They aren't eating and Dahleen keeps throwing up. Can't make the dogs that already live here unhappy.. that isn't fair. She is a good puppy... we will find a good home for her. Wish it could have turned out differently.
We got our new school year of books.. the younger boys are so excited they have decided on their own to get started. I like the beginning of the year. It is the most fun. No struggle... everyone is having fun. What will be interesting is me... teaching Ethan French and Drivers Ed... Anyway, I am off to go clean and get some work done. Probably won't be updating till after the reunion.
