Feeling Normal

Good News! I'm finally starting to start to feel a little more like a human being again! I'm not 100%, but I'm getting some more energy back, and the cold is starting to go away. Also, not too many nose bleeds this time around. That's always good, in my opinion.

Otherwise, not a whole lot going on. My pumpkin plants are getting huge, the blackberries are getting small berries on them, and the tomato plants are blossoming. The bugs really seem to like the sunflowers and the strawberries, though. So, I'll have to try a different bug spray on those, I guess.

The addition is moving along nicely, and we're HOPING to paint this weekend. We shall see, because I don't really think the mudding will be done in time. That's ok, though. I'm just happy to see any progress at all. I am told that I'll be able to actually USE my jacuzzi tub for the first time this weekend because it'll be totally hooked up. So, that's nice.

Oh, and two more things...

HAPPY RETIREMENT to Judy and Jerry! How very exciting! Congrats, you've both earned it. We love you!

Congratulations to the new SENIOR CHEIF Ray Hager! We all knew you could do it! Of course, you needed the pay raise, with all those kids... j/k! We love you, and are so proud of you!!!

Hugz, kisses, and all that jazzzzzzz.... ~B

Yup, it's Monday.

So, I pretty much slept the whole weekend away. On top of the chemo making me feel crappy, I managed to catch Carley's cold. Is there anything that kindergartners don't catch and bring home? Those kids are just crawling with germs!!! I have completely lost count of how many times I've been sick this school year because of my low tolerance for germs and Carley being a disease-ridden child. Yucky!! She's lucky she's cute, or I'd sell her off to the Gypsies.

In other news, we had found a mole last week and toyed with the idea of building a little habitat and keeping it, but decided not to. So instead, we set it free in the "wild" (down the street by some trees) and got Carley a Guinea Pig, which we named "Igpay" (pig Latin for Pig). So, now everyone in the house has a pet. D.O.G. is mine, Paxil (the cat) pretty much adopted Tim, the puppy will be Ash's when she comes to live with us (she's D.O.G.'s daughter), and Carley has Igpa. As Tim puts it, "Nobody's allowed to ask for anything else!" lol.

Otherwise, we're all doing fine. We're hoping to be painting the upstairs by next weekend, but we shall see. We do have the colors picked out, though. I'm very excited about that. Also, this is the last week of school for the girls, so I'm sure we'll be spending a lot of time at the pool during the next couple of months until they go to spend a couple of weeks in Tennessee with Tim's Mom.

Not much else going on. Hope you all had a nice weekend. Hugs, ~B
