Recovery is going well, but will be a bit longer than I thought it would. They were able to take only the uterus laproscopicly and that was good. My 2 young ones started throwing up last night so I am hoping not to throw up too. Will check back in a few days - i am not supposed to be doing the stairs yet.

Today is the day

I think that the prep is going to bother me more than the surgery but I will be fine. My folks come in this morning. Gracie keeps saying 'Don't go' and it is breaking my heart a bit, but I should see them tomorrow. Nice having Steve home.

Christmas time is here...

I love the decorations that we got up and will love when Ashley gets home and the ornaments and twinkle lights for outside will go up then. It really has been a good Thanksgiving other than my Mikey having an asthma attack due to being in a house with cats too long. I did enjoy how relaxing these past few days have been and how loving my husband has been making me coffee every morning.

Tips on Teenagers

1. You will hate that they learn to roll their eyes after everything until you can not see them do it.
2. They need too much sleep, but even when they are 13 you will go in their room and watch them just as you did when they were a toddler.
3. They are always nicer for other people and soon you realize that is a GOOD thing.
4. They are often acting the same way you do so be careful how you respond to things.
5. Spend as much time as they will give you they grow up so fast.


It seems like yesterday I had a 6 year old, 1 1/2 year old and a preemie baby at Christmas and now I have a 13, 8 and 7 year old kids and it has flown by. A little nostalgic today, but this is fun. It is always fun to remember why you love who you love (esp. when they spent time in their rooms for hitting each other all night last night).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Need to vent!!

So, I know that you all know what a wonderful husband I have now so when I deal with my ex it is now even worse. He finally gave us flight info last night for her flight today only to find the tickets were not right and Steve needed to fix it once he got the airport - he is mad. The flight is late, not my ex's fault but I want to blame him. I wish Eric could just see how wonderful Ashley is and how loving she can be when she is loved. I know he has no clue how to love but I think it is about time he learns to overcome his past.
Lord,

Watch over my baby! I trust that You will be with her even though I can not! Love her and hold her when she needs it! Thank You!!

In Your Son's precious name,
AMEN

Reality

It is so much easier for me to be open with people when they actually are not there. I hate to really share my feelings because I just don't see them as all that important. I know if people ask they want to know but I have a hard time with this. Something for me to think about today.

Happy Birthday Gracie!

My baby turned 7 on Wednesday! We are having a party for her today and she has her friends coming over to play and eat cake. I can not believe that I have no preschoolers, no young kids anymore. This is why I steal other peoples kids and love on them until they cry or poop or both and give them back so I realize how much better it is to have the ages I have.:)
