The Day-Before Anticipation

In another hour and a half we'll be waking up the Princess so that she can eat another snack. You see, tomorrow is her surgery. The appointment is at 11:45am. Yeah. And she'll be going under anesthesia and she is NOT ALLOWED TO EAT anything before her appointment. Yes. They do realize she is SEVEN years old. But it's the rules with anesthesia. I'm sure she won't be a happy camper by the time her appointment rolls around. That is why we're going to wake her to have a bowl of cereal or something to help ease the hunger pains that'll come tomorrow. I can only load her up on clear fluids in the morning. No dairy. Zip. Nada. So it'll be interesting to say the least. Hopefully she'll just sleep the rest of the day away tomorrow. I don't want any drama.

Oh yeah....the Bear is being dropped off at his old preschool for the day. We aren't allowed to bring him to the appointment because BOTH adults are supposed to monitor the anesthetized child. The Hubs will drive and I'll be holding the Princess' head (along with a ziploc bag just in case).

So that'll be my day tomorrow. What's your day look like?
