I was able to hold back the tears as Dahlia and Monti's bus pulled
away because I was distracted by the lingering ache in my side I still
had from the night before. I had been up all night with a pain in my
side. At 2 AM I had convinced myself that I was having an appendicitis
and I started planning how the next few days would be handled. I
couldn't believe my luck. The day I had been waiting for ,when both
girls would be going to school, would have to spend it in the hospital
being cut open. My mind was so busy worrying about who would watch the
kids and what type of swimsuit I would need in Vegas to cover my scar
that I was unable to sleep. Oh the mind thinks crazy thoughts in the
middle of the night especially when you are a little nervous about
your baby going to school fro the first time. Not sure why I had the
pain but my appendix is just fine.
