Grey's Anatomy AND Private Practice...

Okay - so these are two of my favorite shows. I get so excited when they come on. Starting last week, they moved Private Practice to Thursday nights right after Grey's Anatomy. Which I happen to have mixed feelings on. Because, now I only have one night of t.v. that I really enjoy instead of two. But the hardest part may actually be that I have to be so emotionally caught up in (yes tears and all) that now for 2 hours straight - I'm laughing OR crying OR both at the same time. Confusion...utter confusion Anyways...I am sharing this because I'm not really all that sure why - but felt the need to write about it I guess. At the end of Private Practice, Cooper and Violet are sitting in the closet, it felt safe. Like their problems and fears didn't exist beyond sitting in that closet. I sometimes wish that I could just sit in my closet, but would have my 3 yr old and 5 yr old thinking that Mommy was actually playing hide and seek and not leave me alone. So I will refrain from closet hiding, and just sit here on my dang computer writing about something at trivial as night time drama on t.v. that has my full attention and I get so completely consumed by these two shows. Why is that? Am I the only one? Surely not (ha, my Grandma's name is Shirley - just yeah...the other meaning)... Anyways, incase anyone is wondering if I have lost my mind. NOT YET!!! But I do have a infusion site on my upper butt cheek - lower back area. Chase needed a new site tonight and he fights me so badly, it's frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time. Anyways, after holding my child down literally and shooting a new site into his poor little butt cheek, I told him if he stopped crying and being mad at me for doing his - that he could put a site on Mommy. Oh my goodness, he immediately stopped crying and kind of laughed, evily. So I get the site and a alcohol pad out - and he can't wait to do this. I'm a bit nervous, not gonna lie - he is overjoyed at the thought of hurting his poor mom. Mind you - I did this out of pure love for my son. So I'm trying to help him, and we totally got it too high up, and I swear we punctured a vein or something. My @$$ hurts - almost numb like. I had to be brave - my 3 yr old is watching. He has to have a new one of these done once every three days. And boy does three days go by so fast!!!! It sucks actually. Anyways, I promised my eager to hurt Mommy son that I would wear this site as long as he has on. So for 3 days, my @$$ is doomed to hurt. I know my son will be checking me regularly to see "Mommy's site" - therefore, this one is staying. I could only imagine where the next one might actually end up. LOL So I told Chase, "hey, as soon as Daddy gets home from being on the road - we should give Daddy a site too!" He was pretty jazzed!!!! Hope Matt doesn' t mind - it's all for the sake of Chase to laugh and smile about getting those darn things But hope I don't have to do this everytime too. It does suck if you're wondering. But, it is better than 3-4 insulin shots per day. This is one every three days. Much easier...anyways, wish me and the 'ol butt good luck! :)
