This is going to be a weird week.
Mr. Dub is taking a vacation without me since I took a few this year without him. (We do love each other; were just not crazy about airfare prices.) In his place, my bro and SIL* will be coming to hang out with me and Miss Dub and our baby, Chicago.
Oh, and my dad is having his esophagus removed tomorrow. (That's not a joke; they actually do this.)
You can imagine I'm a bit nervous. I'm not even sure if Pdaddy will sleep tonight. I've already lost my appetite in support of the poor guy, who will be getting his meals through a tube while he recovers for the next few months.
So we'd really appreciate your prayers, even though I know they're pretty full these days.
I also won't be "normal blogging" this week out of respect to my dad and to my guests, though I will post an update when I get a chance.
But if all goes well (and it WILL), I will share a big surprise with you all next Tuesday. And, no, the stork did not deliver it.
* I should note that SIL is one of the few Web acronyms that I approve of. DS and DH drive me crazy, as do IMHO and YKTR. And if you know what EWCM is - gross, huh?
I don't know any of those except SIL and DH. Can't stand DH, did you read my blog recently, I blogged about that minutely this week. you coppy cat (: (just kidding)
ReplyDeleteYour dad will be in our prayers. They're never too full. love to you.
I agree with the acryonms...really really don't like DH especially. Good luck this week, I am sure all will go well.
ReplyDeleteI will pray that all goes well this week. As far as the acronyms I guess I am way out of it. I did get SIL but that's all. Maybe you could provide me a key code for future information.
ReplyDeleteyou know you can count on me for some prayers. i'm glad you'll have company this week. pdaddy is strong. i know it will go well.
ReplyDeleteYour dad and family will continue to be in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteoh, mrs. dub. i am so glad that your bro and i will get to be with you and your lil' miss this coming weekend. it will be good for all of us...
ReplyDeleteespecially for miss dub. i mean, she must really miss me ;)
as for the acronyms, i don't really understand most... any that i use (including SIL and FIL) are really making fun of the use of acronyms... same with btw and bbiab. unfortunately, aim/blog speak has become part of my regular vocabulary. it's sad. very sad.
that may be the most adorable pic of miss dub ever. i am feeling a hankering for my miss dub cuddles. as for pdaddy, all prayers will be directed his way. nothin' but love.
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea what any of those are. I am not acronyms savvy. I think I might have to take acronym 101 or something...ok I do know what SIL is...but the others!?!?!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and your family. Especially your dad. And like Tara said our prayers are never too full.
And I like praying for other people.
Could you little girl be any cuter! She is a doll!!
And I do like your new hair color. It looks good on you, as does the blonde...
she's such a cutie and looks like a firecracker that miss dub.
ReplyDeleteprayers for your daddy of course, we'll be thinking of all of you tomorrow. have fun with your brother, last time i saw him, i think he was, let's see . . . ten?
prayers coming your way, mrs. dub. there's always room for more.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - when i found out what DH meant, i almost threw up. if it sounds cheesy written out, it's still cheesy as an acronym. thank goodness i don't know what the others mean. actually, i think we all should know so we can take a stand against them. mrs. dub, would you care to tell us?
How does one live without an esophagus??! (Also, not a joke...real question!)
ReplyDeleteMs. Dub is so purdy, Can't wait for the surprise!
You don't know me. I'm Sarah Garner's friend, and I've posted comments here before because, hey, I love it when people comment on my blog, so why not do the same for you? You know, Golden Rule and stuff...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your family is in my prayers as well.
I have used DH a few times in reference to my Dear Husband and I thought it was cute! Then I realized my husbands ex-wife has the same initials DH...now that she has taken her maiden name back!
ReplyDeleteSo it's no more DH for me!
But I still think it's kind of cute!
what a week. your dad's included in our prayers. i hope you have fun with your family. how can you not--chicago, your brother, a wonderful i'm sure sister in law, miss dub, yourself? can't wait for the surprise (i'm thinking book deal)...
ReplyDeleteCan someone PLEASE tell me what DH stands for?! I see it all the time in my diabetic chat forum.
ReplyDeleteWith our love. Wishing you all the best.
Definitely in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the whole acronym thing gets out of control. I mean, SIL makes a thirteen character word into a three. You can't beat that. And dashes are just so awkward to type. But most of them are dumb. I'll admit to having used DH for a short time, but then I decided it was lame and quit. At least I figured it out, right?
1) Lots of prayers are coming. I'm shutting this computer off in 5 minutes and will commence.
ReplyDelete2) SIL = Sister in Law
DS = Dear Son
DH = Dear Husband
IMHO = In My Honest Opinion
YKTR = You Know...???
I have no idea.
and... This is really gross.
EWCM = Egg White Cervical Mucus
3) Have pity on me, as I only know this b/c of years of fertility problems and fertility boards and pregnancy boards are LOADED with these acronyms. I myself, don't use these acronyms (or post anywhere on the internet but here), but if you don't look them up, you won't understand what anyone is talking about. Ever.
4) I MUST sign off as I am officially late on my promise to start praying in 5 minutes.
Wow, your dad without an espophagus and mine without a sternum. Together, they will be complete (except, sadly, mine has also lost a significant amount of hair due to medication).
ReplyDeleteMany prayers, especially because your blog just won't be the same without the clever comments from pdaddy. Relax and enjoy yourself (as much as possible).
I hate those acronyms too. I hope your dad's surgery goes well tomorrow. Hang in there and I hope your guests make the week go by fast!
ReplyDeletehave a great week! and i don't know what any of those acronyms mean!
ReplyDeletehope all goes well with your dad.
