ScienceKid is in crunch time, with just 10 days until State Science Olympiad competition here in Delaware. He’s busy collecting data for his Storm the Castle device, making final modifications to his Mission Possible device — neither of which he did on his own, and I do want to acknowledge that his partners have been here many hours, for many days working with him — studying also for his Rocks & Minerals event, Heredity–which he will go into alone, and Food Science. Busy, busy time.

As for MilitaryKid he’s longingly looking at the boxes that have come in the mail for him. His birthday is tomorrow but thankfully we celebrated last Friday. Tomorrow we will probable be with SK collecting data for his Storm the Castle device and working in the school lab on Food Science. He seems to be OK with that but he sure won’t be asked to do any school work tomorrow. Usually I take the kids on a special field trip on their birthday but this year….well, I can hardly walk right now, can’t really….and don’t get me started on the pain, or lack of sleep cause of the pain……….funny thing about this; SK stated today that he’s never seen the house in such chaos all because of my leg, and my inability to function. Ok, not funny but nice that he notices.

At least it is just 6 more days until my surgery. Now, do I believe the surgeon who says I will be walking out the clinic’s door or the folks who have been through this operation who state that recovery is several weeks or the Dr I saw today for my EKG who said that it will be 2-4 weeks before I’m walking again. We’ll find out in 6 days though.
