Friday Fun

So I finally had my endoscopy.  I have esophageal ulcers and a smallish hiatal hernia. I feel so validated, finally having a diagnosis.  But apparently esophageal ulcers are somewhat rare and often caused by over-consumption of alcohol.  So now I'm afraid my docs will think I'm a lush.  Great, since I have a couple of drinks a couple of times a month and I've only been drunk enough for a hangover twice in my entire life.

So the doc is changing up my meds and there may be another invasive procedure and possibly surgery in the future.  Yay.

In other news, we've been busy, busy, busy, with spring sports now in full swing. We have a meeting or practice or event every night of the week.  I'm so ready for the summer slowdown. Last night we ended up with a rare family night together.  Usually the kids are going in three different directions. But PS has to see a live show for her theater class by next week and we were planning to go on Saturday while the twins were at a Girl Scout event, but the show was sold out on Saturday so she bailed on robotics on Friday and we all went together.

We we went to our favorite tiny theater to see a "popcorn-throwing melodrama."  We've taken PS before, but never SS and TT (sometimes the shows aren't kid appropriate), who thought any place where you get to throw popcorn and not get in trouble is pretty much the awesomest place ever. We were seated literally 1 foot from the stage and had great fun. (One of the actors gave us a thumbs up after one of the kids landed a piece of popcorn in his mouth--yes this is not only allowed, it is encouraged.) It was the first time in a while we all got to hang together as a family, with nobody whining about being bored or wishing she were somewhere else.  These days are becoming increasingly rare, with the kids' social calendars getting fuller  by the year.
