Lullaby of the Cement Haulers

Here we are again into the most uncomfortable days of my Chemo treatment- day 3-5. If I was sleeping right now, it would be no big deal. But Brett is out of town for couple of days. (Just so he doesn't get a bad rap- I take full responsibility. I am the one that told him he should go. This is his favorite part of his job and I don't want him to miss out on work too much just cuz "I have Cancer", ya know! LOL Besides, my perfectly coordinated life allowed for friends to take kids to school, watch Glory during the day, pick the kids up from school, watch them all evening, feed them dinner, bring me some dinner and then have someone drop the kids back at home for bed. I have been totally spoiled! I actually have been a bit bored. I ended up cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry, deep cleaning the kids bedrooms, and binding a quilt during the hours I was up yesterday.)
OK, sorry I got sidetracked.... back to the point of this post. So after a really long, sleepless night (seriously- how can the clock moved so slow from 11pm to 5am?),  I got up at 7:20 to get the kids started this morning. Kids dressed- check. Morning prayers- check. Bowls of cereal in their tummies- check. Hair combed- check [at least on most of them]. Teeth brushed- check. Backpacks- mostly check. Out the door- check. Mother of the year award- here I come! I totally deserve a gold star for today and it wasn't even 8 am! ;)
Since Glory was still sleeping (such a good little kid), I decided to crawl back into bed and sleep until she got up. Especially since my best sleeping times seem to be during the hours of 6 am- 11am. Unfortunately for me, our neighbors are having their driveway and garage floor redone. Here we are bright and early and the workers are on the job. And so conveniently working right out my bedroom window. Who knew that chainsaws, jack hammers, men throwing wood beams at the side of my house, and bobcats hauling cement away wouldn't make for a great lullaby??
I have to admit that I may have cursed a few times under my breathe. Oops! The thought even crossed my mind to open my window and use the CANCER card on them. "Excuse me, could you be more quiet-  I HAVE CANCER!!!!!!!!" But... instead I'll just blog about it. And maybe when these mean men take a break and I get a little nap, I will repent of my bad thoughts towards them and maybe even laugh about the memories.
