Bittersweet

Let’s face it I’m depressed.
This last surgery really hit me, my psyche, my body, everything. My body is angry, very angry. I have frequent nausea, stomach issues, extremely tired as well as other things and of course pain. The pain isn’t horrible (unless a tiny foot kicks my incision), but it hurts and I’m tired [...]

Thursday was the big day. I felt anxious about it this time and to make matters worse, I didn’t have to be to Same Day Surgery until 10:30 a.m. That means I didn’t get to eat or drink anything since midnight the night before; that is just mean. I worked until 10:30 so I wouldn’t [...]

“Hello, work? Ummm, yeah, I’m going to be late today. Why? Oh, I’m trying to catch a frog in my bathroom.”  yeah, right.   Sounds a little fishy to me.   It’s totally true though.   We have little frogs around outside of our house.  Bug has enjoyed watching them hop and then she yells “Ribbit”.   Last night [...]

That is the most used comment in our house right now.   Bug picked it up at daycare (I’m guessing that’s where it came from) and uses it at every opportunity available to man.   Sometimes even when it’s not necessary.     Fast forward about 12 or 13 more years and I’m sure we will hear that a [...]

I met our new neighbors yesterday. As always I looked bedraggled and wished I could hide. At some point in the conversation, I mentioned that Littlest had a twin brother. Neighborlady’s response was the best I’ve ever had. She smiled and immediately said that he must have been beautiful and hoped that I was able [...]

We still really don’t have internet or a phone at home,  thus no pictures to post.   Blog.com just recently transitioned over to using Wordpress so along with having [...]

Saturday we were feeling okay and decided to try again to go to the fair.  It was about nap time when we finally got read, but a 10 minute power nap and the girls were good to go!  On the way there, we talked about seeing the cows, sheep, pigs, and horses and of course [...]

You’ve heard the phrase “violently ill” before haven’t you?   I’ve been really sick, but never where I wanted to be in a coma or knocked out.  
Be forewarned, lots of puking is involved.
It started out as a nice evening with Pampered Chef Lady coming over for dinner and to have some fun with the girls.  [...]

One of Daddy’s Goodwill Outlet finds was a giant round vinyl raft for $8.   He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do with it, but it was in perfect condition.    It has become our “Bounce Bounce” as Bug calls it.  We can use it two ways.  The donut way with the hole in the middle [...]
