A Doctors Appointment Tomorrow

I am anxiously awaiting my trip to the doctor tomorrow. I have been off work for several weeks now and I'm hoping for a return to work slip. I can't wait to get back to work and get back in the swing of things.

I finished up a scrapbook page today ..one that I have been working on for several weeks. It turned out really nice. It was a one page layout of Brittany when she was four years old in her cowgirl halloween costume. My plan is to start taking pictures of my layouts and get them online at my scrapbook.com site.

Robert is bowling tonight ..I hope he does well.

Brittany and I will soon be watching American Idol. I had better make sure the TiVo is set to record so that Robert can watch it tonight if he wants to.

I will give everyone an update after tomorrow.

Thanks for all the love and support!

Friday ....Hooray!

Its Friday morning and I am up early. It;s going to be a busy weekend ...maybe a little more than I have been used to recently.

Brittany is bringing home her best fried for the weekend. The are going to do the typical girl stuff with a trip to the mall and to the movies.

I have been running a fever since yesterday ...I can't go down this road again. I just got my energy back.

I am scheduled to get my hair cut tomorrow in hopes that my physican will be sending me back to work next week. I am so eager to get back into work ...I have thought about writing a project plan for our trip to Reno in the fall ...how sad is that? I think I have recovered for the most part ....although this feer is worrying me. Its typically a sign that I don't want to see.

We watched a movie last night called "The DiVinci Code" ...it was really good. I should have had more of an understanding than I did since I was brought up in a very religious home ...but I must have been absent on those days of Sunday School. It was a good movie ....even Robert didn't give a thumbs down ...which for him is good.

My nephew came home yesterday from basic training. I saw my sister before she left to go and get him ..she was both anxious and excited. I am sure my brother will be putting up pictures of his homecoming yesterday. I myself can't wait to see them. I am glad he is home and back with his mom, dad and Angie.

Google Reader .....WOW!

I often go to Google Labs to see what Google is working on these days. I came across "Google Reader" ...all I can say is WOW ..and Double WOW. I was even able to add a widget on this blog (located on the right side bar) that highlights the information I read that I want to share with my readers.

If you are reading this blog ..then I know you are reading other blogs and other information on the web. Take a minute and get your Google Reader up and running. I was even able to add it to my personalized Google Page. Have I ever mentioned that I love Google?

King Nutter

as I am enjoying this gift of a snow day laying in bed surfing the internet on my laptop I came across an great web site called King Nutter. This website tracks the weird ebay auctions you end up hearing about in the news. It also somehow manages to keep the video clips that get banned from You Tube. If you have never been to this website ...take a moment and register yourself ..its is well worth the minute it takes to sign up.

A Snow Day

Wow.. what a great sup rise this morning when I woke up. It was 7:30 when my eyes opened and started to panic. Robert was snoring next me ...and I thought he had over slept. He quickly told me to calm down. It appears that it snowed last night, school was cancelled and Robert took his personal day at work. The roads are bad and he didn't want my mom having to make a trip out here with these kind of road conditions. He said he let me sleep and took care of everything quietly so that he wouldn't wake me. I told me that was the best Valentine he could have give me ...even if it were a day early. We are scheduled to go to our favorite restaurant tomorrow night ...we had made reservations two months ago. With the weather the way it is ...we may have to take a rain check. But I am sure a trip to our favorite restaurant or not tomorrow... we will have a great Valentines Day evening.

A nice suprise at our door

Last night Robert and I were watching television and the door bell rang with a pleqasant suprise on the other side of the door. Our friends Charlie and Norma Barry stopped by for a visit on the way home from a place they had been. They had stopped by to see how I was getting along. Its little things like that that mean the world to me during this very crappy time. We enjoyed a nice conversation with them ...I could have chatted all niht. Hopefully before too much longer we will see them again soon in our bar playing game 5 of the SanJulian Texas Holdem Tournament. I believe at the end of the last game Norma was leading in points.

It's Friday

Today is Friday ..and typically I would be excited but to me Friday is the same as any other day. The only good thing is that the weekend is near.

I'm not feeling the best today ...not sure what is going on. I am sure if its something to really worry about it will show its ugly head ..or quietly go away.

Brittany had a two hour delay today so I get to spend a few extra minutes with her today. She will be with her dad this weekend ...so I am sure we are going to miss her. Although ....Roki likes letting us know that he is the center of attention.

In the past few months Roki has decided that our bed is the best place for him to sleep and has chosen the spot in the middle between Robert and I. Its about time to show is cute little self who is boss and reclaim my spot curled up to Robert. Roki can have my spot on the end. Speaking f of Roki ..I had his baby pictures printed off with the hopes of doing a scrapbook page about his life before we brought him home.

We watched Survivor last night ..it as the first show in the current season. This is a good time of the year for watching TV ...all the good stuff is on until the spring.

I hope everyone has a good weekend ..and thanks again for all the well wishes. Things appear to be stable and I am feeling okay. Tonight, I will be in the hot tub under the stars in the cold winter air. Life doesn't get much better than that.

Midweek Tidbits

Cold ....very very cold! However, I haven't had to go outside in it much except for doctor appointments ..and that was enough.

Brittany has been off school all week ...she went back today.

Robert went back to work yesterday ...this whole thing has been hard on us ..and right now our arrangements are on a day to day basis. I hate being an inconvenience to anyone. I will somehow find a way to repay the kindness given to us by our friends and family members. Its a good feeling at night knowing that your in someones prayers.

My latest round of test results were not good ..but we are dealing with it. I never in a million years dreamed I would be going through something like this.

Brittany got her braces off!!!

Just a quick shout out to everyone letting you know that Brittany got her braces off today. She has had them on for three years. Last night she wasn't able to sleep very well because she was so flippin excited!

I will be posting pictures soon!

Tidbits

I have been off work now for almost three weeks. I would be lying if I said I was going stir crazy ..cause I am not. Would I rather be working ..YES! But ...I am very much taking it easy and trying to get better while I am off. I guess that was the point of my physician taking me off work for awhile. And once again .....my wonderful loving husband has been right beside me helping me through this. I don't know what I have done in my life to have such a wonderful man in my life ...but blessing such as him don't come around the corner all the time.

Dreama and I have ended our four year friendship. There are some lines you just don't cross. I would have hoped she would have owned up to the person she thought she was. Each of us are a result of decision we make in our life good or bad. She has a wonderful husband she chose to abandon and chose not to be a good role model for her daughter as she should have.

I have had time to listen to many podcast on scrapbooking ...I have taken notes and I am really taking this scrapbooking thing serious. Srapbooking for me is everything I love doing rolled up into one ...and I absolutely love it!

Brittany is doing well in school and is loving life. She is a typical teenager with a good sense of morals. She gets her braces off Tuesday and is so freakin excited. She has had them on for three years and has followed all the rules of not eating certain foods. When I was her age and had braces ..I ate everything I was told not to ...I am glad my daughter is a better listener than myself.

The weather has been chilly ....but the home is warm ..in many ways.

Congrats to my brother for his career upgrade ....its been a long time coming and I and proud of him.

Most of Roberts and my attention has been focused towards Ron and Alicia to make sure they are pulling through with a few laughs a long the way. Alicia is doing VERY well and is very adjusted to her new living arrangements. Its so touching to see the love between her and Ron ...he is such a good dad and is so good for Alicia. Right now he has to be mom and dad ..and he is doing a DAMN good job at it. He is starting to have a little fun along this journey too. He and Alicia had a wonderful time together last night with lots of laughs and giggles.

Well ...for now ..that's it. I'll be back to blog again hopefully this week.
