Well here we are again....5000 days later??? I should be fired from blogging.
My head hangs low and I'm ashamed. I vow to do better and be a faithful blogger until the day I die.
There.
Now that we got that nonsense out of the way, let's move on to more ME!
So it's been a few hectic and hairy months in my world. LOTS and I do mean LOTS of sickness. I'm still coughing up stuff that tastes like rusty nails, but hopefully that will end soon. If not, my lungs may possibly be rotting and I just don't know it.
I am hanging on with everything I have until the kids get out of school for the summer. I CANNOT WAIT, you hear me? I live for summers and NO SCHOOL!
Kiddo Update....
Preston is one happy camper these days. He has a new girlfriend who I absolutely LOVE, Ashley. She is adorable and I'm so happy to see HIM happy. He will be turning 16 in July, so driving is in the very near future. He does drive pretty well. There are some days I feel like I leave a stain on my leather seats, but most of the time it's good. He will be starting spring football training in a couple of weeks I believe. He has now gotten up in front of our church THREE times and done the Wednesday night lesson....very proud Mama moments indeed. His grades this year are better than they've EVER been, unless he is altering his report card in some way before it gets to me. No injuries to report -- YAY!
Ethyn is becoming the calmest child that I have...who would have ever thought
it??? The child is so well behaved 99% of the time! He is still going to Tupelo High School and according to him hates every minute of it. He keeps telling me that he wants to move back to Pontotoc and I hope that comes true. We miss him and hope that everything works out for the best. He is still into the dirt bike scene, but last visit said he's ready to quit it....we'll see on that too. He has had a few injuries due to the bike, but none that were serious. Keep your fingers crossed for us that he comes back home! I just want him to be happy and that hasn't seemed to be the case in a while :(
Haley Bug....ooooohhhh my Haley Bug....she is having her ups and downs days but hopefully is getting more ups than downs. She passed smooth out on me this past Monday morning before school. Scared me to death! She had an echocardiogram done and we will hopefully get those results tomorrow. She is also having to wear a monitor for 30 days...didn't know a 30 day monitor existed but LUCKY us....we have one :/ She is still having some BAD ear infections but is clear at the moment. She has her next ear surgery coming up in May after school is out. Hopefully after he inserts these artificial bones and whatknot....her hearing will be restored. It's gotten PURTY bad here lately. We were going somewhere the other day and I said to her, "Be polite". She got a very confused look on her face and said, "Eat a light???" So yes...we are hoping and praying that her hearing comes back and we don't have near as many ear issues...NONE would be great but we'll take a major decrease too!
Now on to the parental unit...me & Randy!
Randy has seen better days. We are praying that he doesn't lose his job. People keep getting laid off...they're cutting their hours and it's getting pretty scary to say the least. Hopefully things will work out...lots of prayer. On a more positive note, he did our devotional at our last youth devo and did a SUPER FANTASTIC job. I was severly impressed and proud! He will be doing another one at our Spring Retreat this coming weekend. He had some minor knee surgery back in December that went very well. He doesn't sound so much like the 4th of July when he walks now, so that's nice.
I am about to be in the throws of some major candle business...and that's a good thing my friends. It's very exciting and I look forward to sharing the good news with all of you!
Randy & I both have gained an extra 5 gazillion pounds since we got married almost 5 years ago. I finally had to bite the bullet and take my wedding rings to get re-sized, to "fat girl size". I kept putting it off but Randy couldn't stand it anymore! You have NO IDEA how hard it was to walk in that jewelry store and admit, "Hey -- my name is FAT COW and I'm so stinkin' fat now that I can no longer wear my rings!!!!!!!!!" uuuuggghhh that was a depressing day. We are about to make a change though...we have GOT to be healthier.
I am VERY excited because I won the bid on that new p90x workout system on eBay tonight...won it in the very LAST second!!!! It's the newer version where the sessions are only 10 minutes of torture as opposed to an hour +. I was worn out just sitting in my chair WATCHING people do this workout. How sad is that???
But here today....I vow (along with the blogger vow already mentioned above)....to get in better shape along side my adorable husband. I want to know that I have cheekbones....I want to have one chin instead of 3+ and I want to be able to put my clothes on and tie my shoes without feeling like i've just run a marathon!!!!!!!
Here's a pic of us now.....
Do you see the 400 extra chins???? My head is the size of a large pumpkin. It got stuck in the neck hole of a shirt I was trying on the other day. I panicked and was REALLY dreading having to make that 911 call...somehow I managed to get out of that shirt...I'm still not sure how. I think I had an out of body experience. My temples are still a little sore.
Well....that's us in a Nuthouse Nutshell for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend and I look forward to keeping you posted on our new and improved lives!!!
