Update

Mozzie had an ERCP this afternoon. That is where they take a tube and go down her throat to look at her gallbladder. They didn't see any stones in the bile duct but they weren't able to get into the gallbladder to see the stones in there. They are going to wait for her "angry" pancreas to settle down and then they will do gallbladder surgery. Not sure what her pancreas is angry about but I wish it would get over it!!! lol She will probably stay in the hospital over the weekend and have her surgery on Monday.

On a funnier note (cause I'm immature like this) her doctor's name is Dr. Horney. Yeah, I laughed for a long time about that one.

My girls told me "for someone that works in a hospital Mom you sure are silly."

Me: "Baby sometimes you gotta laugh and be silly or else you'll go crazy."

Blank stares in response. I'm okay with that. They don't need to know all the crap that I've seen in my job. That actually makes me happy because that means they don't know that I come in and hug them with tears in my eyes because I'm so happy I still have them when someone else has lost their child.

Crap, PMS is making my emotions veer wildly.

All Good Prayers Needed

My Mozzie (my grandmother) got put into the hospital last night with pancreatitis and gallstones. She will be undergoing a procedure this afternoon to remove the gallstones. The girls and I are headed over there now.

Alrighty then!

Who needs to write a blog entry when their child can do it for them. We had fun at the zoo yesterday. Don't believe me? Check out Hayden's blog www.haydenshighlyhilarioushijinks.blogspot.com and enjoy! Maybe I'll blog again tomorrow! ;-) Or maybe Hayden will. We'll see!

An Awesome 2 Days

Day 1: Hanging out at the lake all day with friends, having drinks, playing in the sun.

Day 2: Going to the zoo with the girls, Mom, Moz, Anne and Chris; seeing the Naked Mole Rats and every other animal under the sun; quick visit from a friend; an hour in the lake for the girls; dinner at Kayson's and a trip to Fresh Market.

Summer is going great so far!!

Plugging along

The computer started acting up (read: wouldn't let me into Facebook) and I couldn't have that. So I started clearing off the 4 YEARS worth of pictures on the computer. I'm not even sure how many pictures that would equal. Let's just say my first digital camera "turned over" 3 or 4 times before I got my new one that has turned over 1 or 2, that I can remember.

Anyway, it's quite a painstaking process for one as anal about pictures as me. It involves hubster burning all the pictures on discs (to store in a firesafe just in case) and copying them to the L drive that he bought just for my pics and Hayden's stories (I need to move all those over too). He burns and copies; I purge.

The system: I have to have the disc pulled up on the laptop and both the L drive and the C drive pulled up on the computer. I then go PICTURE BY PICTURE to make sure that each pic is on the L drive and the disc and then, and only then, can I delete them from the C drive. Yeah, it takes a while but I have one whole year deleted so far! And I've been having a trip down memory lane at the same time. Kinda makes me misty. Oh yeah, and after a year of pics removed and a defrag I opened up 15% more space on the computer (I know that's sad) and now I can get on Facebook. And frankly, that makes me very happy.

Why

do children like to jump into huge piles of dirty laundry? I'm just asking.

Of course it did mean all the dirty laundry in the house got thrown down to be washed....without prompting. Can't beat that. Although I think some of it was clean; they just wanted a bigger pile....for jumping.

One week down

So we're winding up the first week of Summer vacay. Things have been great!

The girls are letting me sleep in. Although occasionally I'm awakened by "Mommy we're letting you sleep in." which defeats the purpose but it's the thought that counts. Plus it has only been 2 days that I've worked the night before so that has helped.

The girls aren't fighting and are actually helping each other and playing together! I know I was shocked too! Miracles really DO happen! ;-)

Now we'll see if I can convince them that since we have no fruits and veggies in the house that we REALLY need to go Fresh Market to stock up. I mean, if you ask for an apple and I tell you we don't have any wouldn't that be enough to get you motivated to go? Apparently not.
