ok, went to haysville and i DID end up squeezing a fabulous 3 day weekend out of the deal. although i very much wish it had been under better circumstances. however it was really nice to spend so much time with my family. i find myself more confused about why krystal ditched us all than i was in the beginning, and more hurt, and much more angry. but it was cool to have my brother to myself again. but in all honesty, that's not even what it's about anymore. the last time i even thought about "having him to myself" was when he was in high school and they first started dating and i hated her for stealing him away from me - even though he hated me at the time. and so here we are, and as i'm driving to haysville, he calls me to ask if we can hang out saturday and run errands, just the two of us. talk about a breath of fresh air! un-interrupted adult conversation! quite a beautiful thing! (sometimes i feel like i have a strange appreciation for things that other people might take for granted, this is one of those times).
so yes, went to haysville, spent time with the family. saturday was hanging out/shopping/eating chocolate. sunday we had thanksgiving dinner - why not?! we were all actually there! and then monday cameron met with krystal for the first time and returned oscar to her. hellish day for cameron. hellish day for all of us. but he is more of a man, and continues to be more of a husband and a friend than she ever has, will, or did deserve. we're all so proud of him and how well he's handling himself and the whole situation. i dont think anyone could do so well, i know i couldn't.

my house smells
my house smells like dirty diapers. the trash in the kitchen is empty, as well as the bathrooms. it's kinda nasty. although i do need to clean the kitchen and REALLY don't want to. i'm incredibly tired.
still don't know if his dad and stepmom are coming up for the weekend. i'd love for them to come, and i'd also love to spend 4 days with my brother instead of 1.5... but mostly i'd love for them to call and let me know either way so that i know how to plan for my weekend. but i suppose in the long run, my plans won't change too much. it would just be nice to know how rushed and UNrelaxed i'm going to be on my 3 day weekend, especialy since i was incredibly rushed and UNrelaxed last weekend since i had to hurry up and drive all weekend to his grandparents and i'm still not rested up from that and have an ass load of errands to do this week.
too much to do, too little time. anyone want to come clean my kitchen? lizabeth? mom? no? well ok, maybe i'll do it. still waiting for that 2nd wind.

FYI - surgery is scheduled
it is official, i had to hound the nurses to get it done, but my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on thursday october 18th. bring it on! well, not really, i'm not too excited about spending the morning with my legs propped in the air against my will as i am unconscious. but whatever. it must be done... and hopefully won't have to be done again (unless to remove a child).
not a whole lot else going on at the Casa Buford. this last weekend charles and i went to his grandparents Oneslager to spend time with them and his dad and stepmom. it's always fun to go out there, those are the ones who live out in the middle of no where. it was not until saturday morning that it occured to me how tight charles really is wound up. he was constantly fidgeting and had a REALLY hard time sitting still. he kept trying to get his grandpa to consent to go cut down a tree or something labor-intensive so that he could help. i was glad that his grandpa also saw that there was a serious need for him to just CHILL THE HELL OUT! and he eventually did, but it still bothers me that he spends his life on such a high frequency. i wish we could have more weekends away or take advantage of his 2 days off to do something more relaxing. i dont know how to do that, since his days off hardly ever fall on my days off, but i'd still like to find some way to help him use that time to unwind. open for suggestions:
also, back on the surgery - he will be able to take off work to take me there and tend to me. it was a battle, and hopefully they don't try and re-neg on their promise, at which time he would pretty much chew someone's head off. but as of now, the plan is for him to take care of me. :O) i'm looking forward to it.
