One week before that very expensive day - 18 December 2005

Wouldnt it be good to have the time to fall asleep in the pool?

Arthur was so brave with his operation on Thurday. It went to plan. Funny how nurses are so different. The day chick was quite the control freak. She freaked out when I wanted to give Arthur ice cream and jelly. I think Nicole was about to bitch slap her. That would have been funny. The night staff were great.

Arthur is doing great now. He loves chewing gum. (they told us that chewy is the best thing to get his throat working again). He is eating anything and everything again - three days late.

The first meal they gave him straight out of surgery was pizza and chips!

Zid was here for the operation. Arthur wanted him to take him into the pre-op room when he got put to sleep. That in itself was really special I think.

Next Friday we have everyone over for chris cringle... you know... where you put everyones name in a hat, and then everyone pulls out a name and they buy a present for that person. I love doing that. I think we'll make it an early night though. Or not. Depends if jack comes out for the night.

We got the bus last week to Arthurs school to watch the fireworks that followed the carols (which we missed). That was a lot of fun. We sung the "hail to the bus driver" song. The one from the Simpsons, not the real one.

BBQs are common again. After next week I have a week off. Its a fun time year.
