I keep forgetting....dur

The past few days have been busy, busy, BUSY!  So I haven't taken time to write but I HAVE been THANKFUL! :]  

James arranged a family reunion at Boondocks for the siblings, their kids and their kids.  With meals and arcade and passes we spent probably about $150 dollars.  But you know what?  It was fun and it was worth it!  I grew up not getting to know my cousins due to a family feud from before I was born.  Therefore I got to know the cousins we would visit and since we always lived in the boonie's that wasn't very often.  I think I know my Uncle Doug's kids best; however, that is my point!  My oldest brother is NINETEEN (19) years older than me and his oldest daughter only FIVE (5) years younger than me!  Some of my kids cousins you would think are the younger ones running around; however, they are really the PARENTS.  I want my kids to know their cousins no matter the age differences.  Those onery children in my house that didn't want to go; came away tired but HAPPY.  Family - as annoying as they are - are a GREAT blessing. :]

Thursday - Wesley and Emily went to be induced and have their little boy; Grant Lyman Adams III. 
Poor Emily was in labor all day and unbeknownst to all, little Grant had been stuck in the birth canal for a week!  Emily couldn't push him out either :[.... they tried suctioning and that didn't even work.  They finally did a C-section and at 11:08 pm Grant was born.  Mom and baby are healthy and doing well.  Babies are ALWAYS a blessing. :]

Friday - a FULL day at Boondocks starting at 11 am and we return home to a message that Dean's niece (also pregnant) had her baby!  This was unexpected.  Mandy was swollen and her blood pressure too high; so when she went in for her appointment the doctor admitted her and started her.  Paisley was born at 5 lb 1 oz but able to breath on her own!  Mandy started hemmorraging but thankfully they did a D&C and she is fine and ready to go home.  Major miracles and blessings that day.

Saturday presented itself with pain LOL since Friday was WAY too long of a day!  However, bills got paid, shopping got done and the major blessing was having A/C in the CAR AND in the HOUSE!  Thank you - thank you - I do NOT do heat well.

Today was a good day.  Weird dreams but realizing that my brain is trying to sort things out.  We went to David and Linda's and had a very enjoyable afternoon and evening.  I actually PUT ON a swimsuit - yeah not in 12 yrs thanks you - wore it IN the POOL withOUT a shirt over it 0.0 and grabbed a noodle and floated around.  Olivia and I had a great time laughing and joking at the 3 ft side while David, Dean, Linda, and Anthony all joked around in the 8 ft.  The only thing that would have made it better was if Ben had been in the pool with us. We are still working on that. :(   A nice 15 min in the hot tub to help my woes from Friday =] and than back to the A/C'd house for David's secret recipe burgers, some homemade tomato's, Diet Coke and cheesecake.  Full tummies sat around and watched Mamma Mia - cringed at Pierce Brosnan's singing (but applauded his bravery at trying in front of the WORLD) - and giggled when Ben said the songs were stuck in his head and he began singing them. (he he)  Proud momma moment when on the way home some comment reminded me of a Veggie Tale song and not only did my boys KNOW what song but they SANG it to me - with all the words! Woot!  Good friends and good family memories are a blessing.

Okay, okay weekends are hard for me.  Mainly because it's hard to get out of bed at all - weekends are crash-ends for me.

Therefore; Saturday - my blessing on Saturday was an understanding husband and the ability to actually "talk" and discuss my feelings and my needs.  That is HUGE and I mean a HUGE blessing.

Sunday -  yesterday got started waaaaaaay later than I wanted due to still lagging but it was good.  My blessing?  An old friend that answered my email.  I wanted to clarify things so that I could reconcile them into myself.  He answered within a day and I had told him he didn't even need to.  That was a really nice blessing.

Now today!   I am at work and waiting for a supervisor to get back to me regarding an new employee I don't have paperwork on.  I am supposed  to cut paychecks due to the Holiday tomorrow (Utah celebrates Pioneer Day - State Holiday- of when the Pioneers came into the barren valley that we now call home :).)  and am waiting for Reba to finish cutting hers and she is waiting for someone to get back to her as well.  Don't we all love the waiting game :).  My blessing today?  Ben came to work with me so that he could start he Electronic High School classes (make up for F's last year).  He has sat right down next to me, pulled up English 4th Qtr and has already submitted one assignment and is 50% done with his second!  Honestly, if this keeps going this well, I am going to figure out how to get some of his required classes done on here so that he doesn't have to deal with the classrooms and teachers that can't give the help he needs.

Here I am... AGAIN!

Today was interesting.  Had a good laugh with my sisters during work- it relieved some tension we were all feeling with the new insurance that keeps having typical bleeps and glitches.  We watched Ady as usual (my great-niece, Susan's grandbaby) but she was in a mood for not feeling good.  Wesley tried to kill himself on Terry's new dirt bike - wouldn't Emily - past due pregger's any day now - love to hear that?!? Ugh sometimes men are just plain DUMB.  The evidence is in Susi's backyard and I think it will leave a scar... mhm *eye roll*.

Sooo tired today - prolly from being drugged up.  My Dr thinks he's funny and thinks I could have a new hit song with my familiar saying of my "Pocketful of Pills".  From the child whose mother had to force pills down her throat to taking literally the entire palm of my hand full of pills a day.  Geesh and ugh.  So the Staph Infection is gone - YAY!  BUT, it has now left FUNGUS.  Sounds delightful right?  It has the little red bumps and the yellow infection underneath like before and red surrounding it - but it is on BOTH feet - seriously?  *grumble grumble*  My immune system is so low - I keep asking them to freaking just give me a Gamma Globule shot like I had to have from the age of birth to 8 - every week to graduating to once a quarter.  But of course that is old school and only for the military and no one will listen to me.  A couple of years ago I asked for a Kenalog (sp?) shot.  For my lungs/asthma/allergies because they were getting worse...oh no that's OLD SCHOOL.  Guess what?  I was sick enough earlier this year that not only did I GET a Kenalog shot but also a Rocefin (sp) shot ALONG with my antibiotics, etc.  Geesh people would you get it through your thick skulls that I have lived with this body for 42 yrs and I just might - MAYBE - have an idea where it is concerned?  *grumble grumble*   Therefore I now have, 1 steriodal cream for my feet to apply twice a day - mhm, a Z pack because it seems I have a nice double ear infection (while I was on 2000 MG a day of anitbiotic it seems that antibiotic doesn't touch "regular infections" >/ ), and of course, a month's supply - one a week of Diflucan because all these lovely antibiotics are REALLY going to kick my yeast into overdrive. :D  See?  Happy smiling me. :D

BLESSINGS:  I laughed with my sisters.  Rip roaring, all three of us, laughing.  It was good.  I got my nails done, they were way too long and needed repainting.  It cost me more but they GEL painted them and guess what?!?!  They are perfect!!!!!!!  For those that don't ever see or haven't or don't remember, my fingernails hate me.  They chip, crack, break, have ridges and only last maybe a day.  Nail polish is a disaster.  I use my hands for EVERYTHING - including talking - and therefore the polish is always chipped, cracked, dinged and ugly.  It ISN'T!!!!!  I'm so HAPPY! :D :D :D :D ok I know it's silly to be so happy or to consider it a blessing but why wouldn't it be?  Would you rather I classify it as a miracle?  Hmm... I could do that too. ;)
Ben was wonderfully responsible today with all the animals, bless him and even took care of the neighbors house since Anthony isn't home.  And for reasons unknown, I received TWO long hugs from my hubby. 0.0 wow- yay me.
