Thorn in my Side

I am 100% not joking when I say that I got ready for my day, and have been walking around with a thorn in my side. It must have been caught in my clothing before I washed it, and it has been poking me in the side all morning! I have tried countless times today to remove it, but couldn't seem to find it. However, it got really bad a few minutes ago and I finally was able to yank it out. Sadly I now have a small red spot where it had been digging at my skin, and it is not irritated. go figure that when I start to have a good day, something as ironic as that would happen to me!

On a positive note, which things tend to have gone since my miserable Saturday where I had some memory loss, our Sunday was really fun and kind of odd. I woke up, kind of normal and groggy, and I looked straight at Nick and said "Let's go to Maryland, now. Let's bring Kylie with us. She misses Marko and Maria." He looked at me as if I had woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and was hit with a stupid stick. Oddly only part one of that statement was true cause somehow we had switched sides of the bed, and I ended up on his very uncomfortable side. However, I was serious, and I wanted to bring Kylie with us to Maryland for the day.

Kylie is Nick's 5 year old cousin, who is stuck in the middle of the headed for divorce, fighting, nasty comment throwing, screaming baby, family that we live with. We thought that it would be nice to get her out of it all for a day, also knowing that she would fall asleep on the car rides there and back. She is also very low maintenance, and we would not have to follow her around or entertain her the entire time we were at his mom's. Her parents allowed us to take her, and we had a really good day. Nick's brother and sister, Marko and Maria, were really excited that she was there, and they entertained her while we relaxed.

It was good to get away from all the wackiness of Saturday, and feel like I wasn't on drugs, and going to forget half the day. Also, I found out that Nick's uncle is leaving for a week next week! Join me in a YAY!!!! What makes it even better is that he wants to take the twins with him. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I am really hoping that he will take them so I get entire afternoons off. I still have to break it to them that for two whole weeks I will be out of town, and they will have to fend for themselves. Two weeks, in a row in June. Things are really looking up!
