Red

I finally make it back to work, after well, an extended vacation. Even after coming home from the funeral, I had to stay home and heal from my teeth extraction. I made it into work with a mouth full of stitches and swollen gums. I get into work and I am greeted by my co-worker... "this place has so much drama". Not the warm welcome I was hoping for. Turns out, two of my best mates are out the door. One is already gone and the other is on their final two weeks. I am totally bummed. I was really looking forward to working the holiday season with them. Now I am working with a bunch of (use your imagination here). It is going to be a tough busy season without my key team players. Do I grin and bear it or do I try my luck somewhere else? I have years in this company and I am starting to feel the pinch. I don't have the time or the resources to go else where. I guess I just keep my head down and keep on keeping on. What choice do I have when Ive got bills to pay, debts to repay and nothing else on the horizon, as far as another job goes. I guess I am where I am. Good thing tonight was a good night, or else I just might have turned in my walking papers. Come support me as I try to get out of the red.

Remedy

Turns out that my face swelled up due to a gum infection. A rash broke out all over the top half of my body and I couldn't see thru my left eye.  After being checked out at the dentist, it was clear that the only solution was to extract. Not only one side, but two. Thanks to an Angel, I was able to schedule one side, but I would have to come back for the other. All of which I could not do alone. Though above and beyond my Angel also made me HOMEMADE Chicken Noodle Soup. I am both blessed and amazed. How do you repay this kind of love?

Breakout

Here I am trying to enjoy my time away from the big island, then I get an allergic reaction!  My guess its the hotel soap... my face blew up and my cheeks looks like I am storing up for the winter. Hubby has been the best night nurse... running out and getting ice and pills to get the swelling down. I hope I can take off my glasses at the service tomorrow. Time to say our final goodbyes.

So happy I finally caught a game.

Wasted

Time well wasted,

is not wasted time.

Play something

This is my oldest... in his POLY group. Here he plays the ukulele in his performance at the local mall. He is growing so fast. May he never lose his love for music. I love when he plays for us, and better yet when he plays for his little sister.

accidental nap

So the music stopped in the little girls room, and usually thereafter, I can hear her coming across the hall to my room where I am posted up fighting the daylight and need to put the clothes in the dryer. No sound, nothing. Could she have fallen asleep? I creep into her room, in case she was getting into the powder or baby wipes, and sure enough, she is passed out. On the floor with her blanket and her binky, in the most odd and uncomfortable position. For a moment there I swear I heard her snoring. I look up at the clock... oh no, its too early for her to be sleeping. Then again, I am not positive what time she was up, just what time she wanted her diaper changed. Perhaps I should roll over and go back to bed as well. The laundry isnt going anywhere. #5614

Growing Pains

 

These little guys make me so happy, 

and drive me up the wall.

All in the same weekend. 

They are at the age right now where they want more privacy,

but are getting lazy. 

I wish I had more time and influence on them.

So for now, Im just going to be here...

so they know where I am,

when they need me.

Mom loves you fellas!

Happy 1st Birthday

 

She isn't quite walking yet. She has but a few more days.

We will be celebrating with daddy's barbeque ribs,

her favorite.

Can you believe how quickly she has grown.

Happy Birthday my little girl,

You are (almost) 1.

Love, Mom

Happy Birthday Husband

Happy birthday to my favorite husband, the father of my offspring, my best friend and love of my life. As we celebrate your life, its hard not to acknowledge the lives you have touched with yours. I thank God you were born. He made you for me to love. I love you darling, truly, madly, deeply. Always.
