Busy, busy

Hey all!

I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I've been pretty busy. The kids are now out of school. Kaia had her kindergarten graduation on the 24th and that was their last day.

Just a little update on my dad. He's been in the hospital for almost two weeks. He had a extremely bad intestinal infection that almost ruptured his colon. He had surgery last Friday the 25th and they removed about 10 inches of his intestine. I talked to him this morning and he seems to be doing MUCH better. I tried to talk to him on the Saturday after his surgery, but he wasn't really aware of his surroundings at the time. He thinks they are going to let him go home maybe on Friday. So everyone keep your fingers crossed and your thoughts and prayers to the higher power of your choice with my dad. Thanks!


For Memorial Day weekend, we camped out in our backyard. We were going to try to go to the lake, but they had closed the beach because of low water levels so we just decided we make a go of it in our backyard. We had everything the lake has.....well except for the lake part.... But we had our pool!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend.....even though it's already the middle of the week and I'm a little behind.

Kaia's Trip to the Dentist

Unfortunately, Kaia's first two loose teeth decided that they were going to be stubborn and stay for a while. The permanent ones that were to take their place started to come in behind the baby teeth so we had to have the dentist pull the baby ones. And they were her two very first lost teeth!!!

But all went well at the dentist office, we weren't actually there more than 30 minutes. He sent her home with her two teeth in the cute little case you see in the picture and she's fine now.

Hospitals

You know, "they" say that everything happens in 3's right...............


I've neglected to blog about my dad who is, or was (haven't talked to him today), in the hospital.

He's got stomach "issues". Of course, he has had these "issues" for a long time, but now there seems to be infections that like to tag along with the "issues". He is fine as long as he isn't eating . But we all have to eat, right? Well, now the doctor's are saying that he can go home, but he has to continue to take his medication until the infection is gone. Then they think that surgery to remove part of the colon is the way to go. I'm a little freaked out by the fact that they want to remove part of my dad's intestine!!! I think I am mainly freaked out because I can't be with him ...he's all the way in Florida and I'm all the way in Kentucky. My brother & sister-in-law are with him & she'll take good care of him, but I can't help but wish I could be there too.


And then my friend, That Gypsy Girl, well her husband decided that it would be ok to catch a whirling blade on a rotary saw with his FINGER!!! Ouch!!! So um....they sewed it back on..... I don't know how either one of them got through that without passing out because when she called to tell me about it, I thought I was going to pass out. But he's doing ok now.....thanks in part, I'm guessing, to the great pain medication they gave him and the wife playing nurse ...... LOL





Ok, so that's two in the past week. I know these things are always supposed to happen in 3's so what's gonna happen next? Really now, we don't need anymore of this stress around here!!!!!

I think I'm getting the hang of this....

But only by trial and error!


I figured out how to add a link to Cameron's, AKA "THE best friend", blogger site. She's always full of so it will always be a good blog...... did I just say she was full of ....no no no....what I meant was she is full of exciting and interesting things to talk about..... So go check it out! And if you have any good ideas or suggestions about adoption from abroad ( and no, I don't mean "a broad" like a woman , I mean from over the great blue sea ) then we, and by that I mean, Cameron, would love for helpful insights.


But in all honesty, she is on a mission with her family to find the little girl who has always been meant for them .


AND..........I also figured out how to add some pictures to this here thing a ma jig, and how to rearrange the page elements. It's amazing what a little boredom and booze can do for a girl!

So I hope everyone has a great rest of .

Season finales.........

"Heroes" is a kick ass show!!! I've only seen a couple of episodes before now. I thought it was a good show, it kept my interest, but I could never remember when it came on.

So yesterday on the SciFi channel they had a marathon of "Heroes". So I caught myself up on all that I had missed. Which was apparently EVERYTHING!! I watched so much of it that all the episodes have run into each other in my head. Does Hiro kill Sylar? Is it Sylar that explodes or is it Peter? Does Sylar kill Nathan or does he have him hidden somewhere? I think I'm going to explode before the season finale tommorrow night.....which I know is only going to leave me asking more questions!



And what about "Grey's Anatomy"??? Did Burke really leave Christina??? At the alter??? WTF? I think that was her best acting in the whole series. When she is standing in their apartment and she tells Meredith about all the things that are gone, like his trumpet and the picture of his grandmom that was next to the bed, and his lucky surgery scrub hat thingy.......... then she starts screaming to get all that stuff off of her. She really made you feel like you were heartbroken too. I guess we all knew that he would be leaving the show after all that press over some comment he made about T. R. Knight, but I was thinking it would be a car accident or another shooting, but never just walking away.

OMG...George didn't pass his intern exam. Is he gonna leave too? I hope not because all that drama with Cali and Izzy is getting interesting. And I think that "Ava" will return as a regular cast member next season. But what is really up with Meredith and McDreamy?

Oh I hate season finales......really I do! They never answer anything.....never!

I gots a new "do"....

I really don't know what to start talking about first so we'll go with the newest stuff going on I guess.

So I've been trying as hard as I can to not color my hair, but alas, I've succumbed to the temptation. Yesterday I colored my hair all over; the color it is supposed to be which is medium brown. I got this other color called Colour Rays by L'oreal in some purply pinkish color. It says plainly on the box that it works even on the darkest shades of hair, but I've seen that before and thought that it would turn out a darker purple color, but.......no way Jose! It's the fuchsia that it said it would be.... see the "About Me" section. I'm glad to finally find a color that does what it says it'll do. The only thing is it only comes in two colors that I've been able to find, the fuchsia and a red.

The whole reason I really started this thing is to follow along in support of my friend, That Gypsy Girl, and her family on their journey to adopt a little girl. I don't know where it might lead, but it's just the beginning..........

I'm here....now what??

Hello all! I've started this blog because a friend asked me too, but I think it may actually become another addictive thing I do on th internet that annoys my husband. So I'm a little new to this and it may take me a little bit to figure out some things.......like what to say.

So I'll get back to ya on that what to say stuff at a later time......right now the race is starting and I gotta go!
