I am Being Selfish

Thats right, me! Why you ask? Ive been having a day. Ive been talking about my sister alot today--for those that dont know, she was killed in a car accident when she was 16 and I was 7--and then my mom gave me a picture of my grandparents that had hung in their house. Well this got me thinking about all the stuff I wish I could tell my sister, and the things in life I would be sharing with her. And boy do I feel jipped! And if you dont have a sister, you just cant understand. Growing up she took care of me, protected me from what was going on in my family at the time. And I miss her. I know my thoughts are selfish for wanting her here when God had plans for her, but dag on it, I WANT A SISTER!!

Hunting Widow

Well hunting has well been on its way. But tomorrow starts shotgun season. And during this time it seems that John is gone a little more then usual. Oh joy!! But I cant complain but some much, as it keeps are freeer full till the spring. I have also decided that next year Im going to have a party for all us wives and girlfriends. So on that note, good luck to my guys!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots to be thankful for this year. This past Tuesday was my dads final surgery. And guess what? They deemed him cancer free!! I know this is not the end of the cancer journey, but its a move towards recovery!! Im so excited that I want to sky write it. It has been 11 long months of heartache and worry. I can not even fathom loosing my dad. He means the world to me! Heres my dad's first cancer free picture!

Im Back!!!

I finally have a computer at home again! So now Ill be able to update regularly. Im am slowly working on getting back into a routine and getting things caught up around the house since being back and forth with my dad. But good news! Dad is doing GREAT. They got the tumor and he has to have one more minor surgery and then we should be done!! So lets all keep our fingers crossed. Other then that, everyone is doing great!

Knock, knock! Who's there?

Why me of course! Remember me? I know it has been awhile. Having no computer at home has made me, well be lazy with my computer stuff. But since I had a post on my FB saying my blog missed me, here I am! Well the kids have been in their first month of school. I cant believe I have two middle schoolers, one in his last year and one in her first year!! Its been a treat so far let me tell you! And also a pre-ker! They all have been doing great. Eric is taking shotgun through 4-H for his fall activity. Tina has joined two school clubs, Book Club and Student Council. She is also taking gymnastics. And Sara is taking swim lessons and an hour dance class that is tap, ballet and gymnastics. Im excited with all these new things!Hmmm, lets see what else? Two of the three puppies have found new homes. Hopefully we will find the last one a home. I still have not found my back to school routine yet, as life keeps throwing me these little kicks. The biggest so far--The other night my dad called. The treatments did not work on the tumor. They believe its radiation resistant. So now the only option is surgery. And the surgery is best done by a robot. Interesting, huh? They will do the surgery in October at University of MD. So its been hard dealing with this. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but like all other stuff, we will get through this too.

To Break or not to Break that is the question...

Well it looks like Tina might have fractured her growth plate in her elbow. She was riding her bike and fell off. And of course this had to happen when I was on my first shift back at the medic unit after a month. The hospital really couldnt tell anything. But they did splint it from her finger tips to her armpit. Sounds comfy doesnt it? We cant get into a specialist till Thursday, so we have a fun filled four days! But I have to give her credit, she had her 4-H Fashion Show today and she still did it and rocked!!! Praying and keeping my fingers crossed that its not broke!

Hello out there!!!

Sorry it has been so long! We went on vacation again then my computer has been in the shop. Not really a whole lot new going on here. Eric survived his first week at over night 4-H camp and had a blast. Other then that its been the same ol same ol. For the month of August Im going to focus on giving the house a good scrubbing and cleaning out junk. I cant believe its almost time for the kids to go back to school!! My goal is to have this all done before school starts. So we shall see.
