Girls Weekend
Playing Catch Up!
Sorry for those who would get on here to check for updates for me and my fam because they just weren't put on here.
I will try and recap, it is going to be extremely condensed.
So after the pneumonia that took quite a while to recover from, I have just been kickin it back and takin it easy. Kids don't usually allow this to happen so I have just been running around to and from Hailey and Kyle's soccer games and practices, and just being mom and getting the usual exhaustion that comes from that.
I have recently started walking out in the mornings with Janel, (we started at the gym, but 5am workouts just weren't workin out) so 6am workouts through the cemetery isles have been working for us so far. Hopefully we can bump it up to a run/jog the whole time instead of every other isle. After the awesome workouts and getting my fun friend free therapy from Janel, whom I adore and suck all of her info and probably energy out of, I go on with the day. Lately my kids have been stinkers and also so sweet at the same time, so it evens out.
Dan and I took on a paper route from another friend, Liann and her husband and it has been helpful in the fact that our debt can now not be such a stress. It is starting to become a feeling of yes, we can get through this, other than the feeling like you don't know how you will ever recover and be debt free. We can finally see what needs to be done and we are taking action and doing it, even if it means having a job that is in the wee hours of the morn and feeling like you have a kids job and your missing your bike and the $2 that you need to beg for, it has been good. (Reference to Better off Dead movie, in case you don't understand my humor-"I want my two dollars") Dan does most of the work, I take Saturdays to give him a day to sleep in. If I can handle more days, I'll take it, although, I think Dan doesn't feel confident enough for me to take on more. He gets the route done in 1/2 the time and gets no complaints. Me, on the other hand, take forever and when I have had enough, and I get frustrated at those addresses and what goes to whom and where, trying to beat the rooster's crow. I sometimes have the attitude of "screw it" and go on to the next address that I know. Doesn't happen all of the time, I am okay with a complaint here and there. I am use to it. Dan, probably not so much, his demeanor usually radiates perfection. That is what happens when you marry your complete opposite. Sorry Dan.
Marriage wise, things have been only getting better. Dan had put some money aside for our 10 yr. anniversary coming up in July (Can you believe it? Me either-that is has been 10 years, not that Dan set aside $ for a romantic vacation) When I found out he did this I was floored. Dan doesn't value vacations in the way that I do and he knew that it was important to me and that I had been dreaming of an awesome romantic vacation for our 10yr. ever since we were married. It was always...maybe for our 10yr. over and over when I envied other people's exotic vacations.
With the economy scares and the possibilities it may bring, I decided food storage was awesome to spend some of the money on and is way more romantic than any island with clear blue water and palm trees and georgious flowers and warm sand. Really, I thought I would be way more sad letting the trip go and spending the money more wisely and it wasn't bad at all. The romantic thing for me was that Dan set money aside and knew what I wanted and was trying to give it to me. THANK YOU DAN! I love him for always trying to be what I think that I need. I love him. This year has been our year of trying new things to fall in love with eachother for and we have both tried hard for one another and I am so thankful that it has worked, more than I had hoped for. LOVE HIM! Can't wait to spend eternity with him, he is my Best Friend!
So that wraps up the lost time I didn't post and with this novel, I hope that you are caught up on our lives.

Girls Game Night Fri.

5 FUNNY things from this week
1.
My little girl who has lost her 7th tooth, pulls it out to show me as I am sicker than a dog in bed and is beaming. Little did I know that the "tooth fairy" wasn't going to come that night...The next morning Hailey says "Mom, I guess the tooth fairy didn't know where I was because I came into your room and slept with you." (...phew) The next night my mom politely reminds us that Hailey's tooth is under her pillow. The funniest thing was attached to her baggy with her tooth.
The note read:
Sorry toth fariey I was sleeping in my moms bed
Love Hailey Back
Iv onley got one doller so if you cud give me to that woud be grate
Translation, because Hailey is excellent on her spelling tests, but when it comes to free writing, she flies through it and spells like she's got a split personality.
"Sorry, tooth fairy, I was sleeping in my mom's bed."
Love,
Hailey
Turn over the note
"I've only got one dollar, so if you could give me two that would be great."
Dan and I laughed until our sides hurt, of course the tooth fairy thought that was funny too, so Hailey got $2 for her tooth instead of $1. Who asks for more money from the tooth fairy? My money loving/spending daughter.
2.
Dan decided his arm hairs were creating unwanted static, so he "clipped his arm hair"no he didn't shave it but he clipped it. Okay, that is funny to me, who does this?
3.
3rd ER visit brought laughter. I shared a curtain with a kid who came in with his parents for drinking alcohol and eating a marijuana brownie. Symptoms- he felt funny. Diagnosis- DUH!! You are drunk and high. Directions- sleep it off at mommy's house. As much as I tried to contain my laughter from the other side of the curtain, it was hard and I made our nurse tell me to "stop, stop, stop, it is hard enough as it is to not laugh and here you are..." I told him that I couldn't help it and I didn't work there so I really didn't have to stop. Dan and I were entertained a little more than the other 2 visits earlier in the week. The entertainment made up for the t.v. being on their side of the curtain and it gave me a distraction while I was getting another IV treatment. The topper was when the doctor came in laughing and said it was funny, then quickly changing his statement to no it is not funny, I just haven't seen this since the 70's. There is more funny stuff that was said but it would take too long. Anyway, a surprising laugh for the night and a warning from the nurse on the way out to not eat the brownies...
4.
During this pneumonia bit, I have been downing cough drops. Kyle, considers them candy, regardless of what I might say. He then tells me he has the hiccups so he needs them too. I try to tell him, these aren't for hiccups they are for coughs and even if they were for hiccups, you don't have that either. He then says, I have the hiccups that need these mom. So what do you say to that, I haven't ever had those kind of hiccups, so why not?
5.
The talent show that I went to for Hailey's school, that is pretty much all that needs to be said. Everyone loves to watch their own kid and maybe a friends, but watching complete strangers kids up there doing who knows what, can be pretty funny. I felt like some of the performances will make great blackmail someday. Too Funny!
I am starting this tag myself, so I would love to hear your funny things for the week, month or even year. It is just nice to laugh:)
Yes...Pneumonia
Quick update:
3 ER visits, 3 DR visits, 3 x-rays, lots more tests, and IV therapy at home. Not all in order, but you get the idea.
IV therapy now and I am happy to be able to do this at home. I started throwing up my medicine last night and hopefully this new medicine that they gave me will help me have a better night tonight.
Other than that I am doing as good as a person with Pneumonia in both lungs could be doing.
I am thankful for the blessing Dan and my Dad gave me the 1st ER visit, lesson learned or am still learning...
Gotta have Faith as George Michael puts it, Gotta Have Faith, a Faith a Faith...

Puppy Post Pardum?


Monday, January 19, 2009
Our Newest Addition
Yea, to the dog smell that will likely take over our house over time, and yea to the forever piddle and dog messes to come. I am looking forward to the chew marks on shoes and the furniture.
Our little Nellie couldn't be cuter! She has been the best little puppy, we didn't expect her to fit so well. She adapted so quick to her new family. She loved each of us from the second we brought her home. I was worried that she would be afraid of our kids, quite the opposite, Kyle runs while the little furball chases his feet to chew on them. She love's to play. She is always trying to chew on your toes, fingers and even ears, in my case my hair.
We are in love with our newest family member Nellie Bohrer.
2 Months old
Imperial Shih Tzu
We LOVE you NELLIE!
