KG's Hideaway

I can't believe I'm awake at 3am again. WTF? It's pissing me off.

Whatever is going on with my allergies is driving me nuts. I don't know if I've got a cold on top of my allergies (this is what I highly suspect) but I feel like crap. I don't mean I feel sorta bad, I mean I feel like tee-total shit. I guess I'll call the doc in the morning. Maybe they can squeeeeeeez me in. If not, I'll just call my mom and have her give me a shot. Lovely. But I guess I'll have to set the alarm because when I wake up at this time of the morning, I end up sleeping until 12 or 1 the next day.

41 hours and 34 minutes until Austin's graduation. I've tried to stay busy the last couple of days so that I don't think too much about it. It's hard to believe that my boy is grown... well, almost. It seems like just yesterday he put on his little dockers and polo, strapped on his batman backpack and headed off to the first day of kindergarten. He'd hug and kiss me every morning when he got out of the car, not caring if his friends saw him and teased him about being a momma's boy. He never went through that stage of not wanting his friends to see that, and that's a great way to make mom's day. Even now, it doesn't faze him.

He told me not to get him anything else for graduation (we bought him the Lexus) but I'd also heard him talk about a Fossil watch that he liked, so I went and got one, thinking that if he didn't like the one I bought he could just exchange it. I knew he wanted one with a red face, so I picked out the one I liked best and took a chance. I was happy because it was only $95. So I showed the watch to his girlfriend to get her opinion and she said that was the exact watch he wanted. YAY!! I did good! My last question has to do with whether or not I'm supposed to give him the watch before the service or after. I think I'll do it before... maybe. I've also got stuff for his girlfriend and his best friend, but since I won't be seeing them until afterwards, I guess I could give them to all of them afterwards.

He's going to Operation Graduation, so I'm really relieved that I don't have to worry about what they're doing. For those of you in the dark about Operation Graduation, it's a nationwide thing where they plan an all night activity for the kids to do so that they're not out cruising the streets, drinking and driving or just getting into trouble in general. This years OG is at the Putt-Putt/Malibu Gran Prix. They have a bus drive them out there, they lock them in and don't load up to leave until 7am the next morning. We had to pay only $30 for it and it covers all video games, driving the little race cars... EVERYthing for the whole night.

okie dokie, my eyes are getting tired, so I'm heading back to bed. Night! kdgr
