good while it lasted

today we consumed the very last jar of great gramma pea picker tomatoes. a moment of silence please. our lasagna will never be the same. ever.

i got the fever

tonight we had to run sophie in to the doc in the box. she has had a fever for two days. and she is sounding a little congested. we had to tell will he was going to stay with gran while we took sophie to the doctor because she had a fever. will looked at his dad and asked, 'sophie has a beaver?' yep. still laughing.

this one takes the cake

in case you can't make this out it reads just married.

this was taken this morning. in the parking lot. at wal-marts. apparently, they couldn't wait to spend them gift certificates. i am still laughing. i guess it's no worse than eating at taco bell. on your wedding night. at midnight. you see, my husband and i, we didn't get any food at our reception. not because there wasn't any to eat. it's just because we were too busy. but we heard it was good.

the morning after

as i got will out of bed this morning i asked him how he liked his flowers last night. he bent down and put his nose to the sheet. and said, 'they still smell so good.'

stop and smell the roses

this morning will was soaked. from head to toe. i told him we needed to clean him up. and change his sheets. he asked for flowers. he got them. i will say he picked out a sheet that even matches his dust ruffle. he was so excited about the flowers that when i was done making his bed he ran over to the crib. leaned over. and sniffed. 'mmmmmm, momma. those flowers smell good.'

an apple a day

you may have noticed i have been away. disappeared. just like that. with no warning. or maybe you didn't. i lost my mojo. a few weeks ago while i was at wal-mart something happened to me that had never happened before. and it scared the hell out of me. i was dizzy. i wanted to get sick. i had hot flashes. i felt like i was going to pass out. it was so bad i almost called my husband to come and rescue me. and i have been seeing spots. for a long time. and i have been coughing. still. since january. so, after the episode at wal-mart, i immediately diagnosed myself with a brain tumor. and given the length of time i have been coughing and seeing spots i decided to go to a real doctor. but i had to find one first. and you know this didn't go smooth. the first doctor i called didn't have any openings until late june. the next doctor wanted me to call my insurance company to see if the doctor accepted my insurance. uh, i thought that his office would know that but apparently not. no need to tell you that doctor was in indiana. at my wit's end i chose a doctor in niles. that got me in today. i only had to wait over the weekend to diagnose how many days i had to live. and get the tickets purchased for new zealand for whom ever was going. i was a bit skeptical of the doctor. but she is the best doctor i have ever had. ever. she actually wanted to work. and look into some options. after she diagnosed me with an inner ear infection and allergies she asked me if i thought i had cancer. i laughed right. out. loud. as i said yes she chuckled. we hit it off pretty well. and she treated me like i was her only patient of the day. and i knew i wasn't. so, i have started back up writing as i am feeling pretty good even after only one evening of medication. i started the blog back up on the tenth of may and have filled in some days along the way. i will continue to back date and fill the blog until it is up to date. thanks for tuning in. it is not a toomah.
