In the spirit of the upcoming week of Easter....

Wish I were here...

Quick update and few more pics

Wes had a pretty miserable night...who knew pain killers could make a person vomit so much? I am sitting here quite restless waiting for a call from the doctor, because Wes' pain is through the roof. I was blessed in the middle of all the Challenges of yesterday, by some pretty special people. My Mother -in- Law came down yesterday morning (while I was with Wes at the hospital) and took care of my kids and got them off to school which I was so grateful for, then she went the extra mile (more like 5) and did a huge stack of dishes that was sitting in my kitchen. What she didn't know was that the whole time Wes was in surgery and all the way home I was dreading that stack of dishes. Then last night my good friend and her husband brought us the most delicious dinner, so good. My kids were so happy to be eating something that wasn't mac and cheese. And I was all warm and fuzzy inside because they weren't eating mac and cheese ;) My hope is that these people will be blessed for the way that they blessed my life yesterday.

Here are a few more pics, they are random. They are all of our vacation though. ~E

Finally taking time to blog

I have been wanting to sit down and blog for days, but it just hasn't happened. Here is a real quick rundown of what's happening around here first.

Wes had surgery today, all went well and he should be up and around Monday or Tuesday. He was very brave.... ;) LOL.

As I might have mentioned I started weight watchers for the 3rd time on March 17th. I have been doing good with it. I have not had a bad day yet. I am down 4.5 pounds, so that is awesome. the other times I never could losesweight, but I was fit and felt very healthy. I have added a supplement to my diet it is called ASEA water. It helps to repair the cellular damage in my body. i truly feel like this is why my body is allowing the weight loss. My thyroid is practically dead, and I have what is called PCOS. Also, type 2 Diabetes. All of these things work against my me the weight loss, so when I find something that helps I am pleased. Don't get me wrong, the water is not for weight loss. Anyway I am over the moon to have 4.5 pounds gone forever.

I keep telling myself....Self, you can do this. You have been through many struggles. Divorced Parents, Financial woes, 3 high risk pregnancies, oh, and of course moving 4 times in the last year and surviving an ef5 tornado that destroyed everything I own. Self loosing weight will be a piece of cake compared to the rest of this. Consider it gone.

Isn't it Fabulous that I talk to myself?! Everyone does, I just admit it! Moving on....FLORIDA.

We had a great time on Vacation. It was our first time to Florida. Not really what I expected, very beautiful place. I hadn't ever been to anywhere Tropic so that was fun. We traveled during a week that the Midwest was being pummeled with storms. Our plane ride was the most thrilling ride we had. I don't think we will ever get Hayden on a plane again. can you say hyperventilate...yes he did many times. We stayed in a quiet condo development, it was nice. It had to big bedrooms, 2 big bathrooms, stone counter tops, a full kitchen, and a loft. It was really nice to have so much room. We visited Sea World the first day. It was our first visit to any sea world and we all enjoyed it. However, I did get a little jealous of the people who worked with the animals there. growing up I always wanted to be a marine biologist. Seeing them in person and watching the Shamu show brought a small tear to my eye, it is a truly beautiful show.

That is all for now my baby is yelling at me and Wes looks like he is going to heave. enjoy the pics ~E
