Just a recap of the last couple of weeks




Well it looks like blogger isn't going to cooperate today so I hope this isn't going to look to funny. If it does oh well, I am sorry but at least I am updating right?





I am also sorry for the Xrated photo above. It is just a photo of our idiot dog. This is actually the way he sleeps. We swear that he isn't all together there. He definitely is missing some brain cells, but we love him all the more for that. He starts obedience school next week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he passes. It's going to take a miracle.






This is a photo of Hayley at her Honors Program. Yes we are proud of her. She is already planning her graduation party for next spring. UGH!!! I can't even think about that yet.


This is Maggi and her teacher Ms. Thomson. Maggi has loved her from the first day of school. She is wonderful and has such a fun way of teaching. I know Maggi is going to miss her but with her moving on to Middle school I am sure she will be just fine. Plus she lives only l block away and we see her out walking all the time that we will be able to keep up on her life.

We have had a very busy and stressful couple of weeks. It all started on Mother's Day weekend. Hayley had a all day tennis tournament Saturday and I was suppose to be cleaning because I was having my family over for a cookout on Sunday to celebrate Mothers Day and 2 birthday's. But I wanted to suport her so I was at the courts most of the day and then when I got home I had to do the laundry and clean the house plus try to get as much of the food prepared as I could. That is food for the dinner I was making and then a couple of dishes that I had to make to take to my mother in laws at noon Sunday. When I went to bed I was exhausted. Got up on Sunday and vacuumed and dusted, got the rest of my food ready then went to my MIL for lunch which was fun. I ended up having to take Scott home because his back was hurting him so much he just couldn't get comfortable. He hurt so bad that I had to call my sister to make emergency arrangements to have everyone come over to her house for dinnner. I had all the food so she was ok with it, thank goodness. So I had to do all the grilling (which Scott was going to do as my Mother's Day present) and then haul it all over to my sisters house. Needless to say she liked the idea because she didn't have to do a thing. I even had all the paper plates and everything.

Well Tuesday came around and I was at Hayley's honors program and it was 8:30 am. My phones rings and it is my sister telling me that my mother had another stroke. Thank goodness the program was over so off to the hospital trying to get a sub for work while driving. I know not safe but it was a emergency. Oh I had to stop by the house and pick up Maggi and get her to school also. After spending all morning in ER and getting mom all settled I went into work. I came home that evening got dinner, went to the hospital to see my only to have my phone ring
again. Scott's back starting hurting so bad that he wanted me to take him to ER. So off to pick him up and we spent the rest of the evening in ER to find out that he has kidney stones. We leave at 11:15 (oh I forgot one of the same nurses that was with my mom was still there working double shift so we were getting a laugh about me being there 2 times in one day with 2 different people) drop Scott off at home and off I went to the 24 hr. drug stores to get his drugs. Then I couldn't get to sleep.

A couple of days later someone hits my side mirror on my car while it was parked and didn't even leave a note. My battery in my car also died 2 days after that.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that things will get better. I am not going to let it get to me because it won't do any good. One day at a time.

I will end this with my Mom and Scott and both fully recovered and we only have 8 more days of school. Watch out summer vacation here I come.

I shouldn't be a blogger

I just can't seem to update this thing on a regular basis. Please don't give up on me. But as you can see by the pictures we have had a busy week and weekend. All I can say is that I am very proud of Hayley and that the weekend is over. It was dance dance and more dance.

And to top it off the Tuesday before I was in ER with my mother. She had another stroke. She is fine now and you wouldn't even know that she had one. That same evening I was in ER with my husband. I have never seen him in so much pain. They think he had a kidney stone and sent him home with drugs. Ugh!!! Come to find out he went to his Dr. the next day and had more test done and come to find out it wasn't stones or if it was they had passed by the time they took the cat scan. Now he is on the mend. He still is very sore but the worst pain is gone and he has gone to work for the last 2 days thank goodness. He is a very very very bad patient. It was not a good time around here. I was a little stressed from both of them and then the dance recital. I had to alter 3 outfits and they all gave me a hard time. For some reason my sewing machine was not my friend. Thank god for my sister in law, she came to my rescue at the last minute.

Well I will leave you with 2 very blurry photos (don't worry, I am not going to become a photographer). For some reason I can never get the setting right in that auditorium.
