Another birthday!

Can't believe it but that boy of mine and Marlin's is going to be 14 in 2 days! UUUGGGHHH! How does that happen?!?! For his party this year we are having a gaming party at the house. If everyone invited (including adults show up) we'll have around 30 people. Yikes! Since we got a Wii for Christmas we kinda figured between that and the the DS's everyone seems to have now they shouldn't have ANY trouble keeping themselves busy. Some of them will be staying over, too, so it's pancakes galore.

Josh also has a swim meet this weekend so we'll be busy playing chauffer too. He actually starts swimming tonight and will be done before his party starts tomorrow. He's hoping to give himself a really good present and get a couple, or only 1, state cuts. That would be really nice!

So much for this resolution

One of my New Year's Resolutions this year was to be better at posting to my blog here. And here February is almost over and I'm just now doing it.

As I sit here and think of what's happened so far this year, I guess I know why I haven't posted anything lately. Really haven't had time. My other resolutions have been to of couse, lose the weight I gained back after LA Weight Loss closed their doors and get our finances under control. I have spent many weekends trying to get that done. I have almost gotten all of the receipts accounted for and broken down into the right categories so all I have to do is put them in the program I have for balancing the books. So, maybe I'll see that resolution to the end if not the others.

Dad and Debbie were both in the hospital recently. Dad had foot surgery on his right foot and then got pnuemonia. He ended up in the hospital with what the doctors think is a staph infection. While he was there he gave us quite a scare when he quit breathing and had to be put on a ventilator. He spent 10 days in hospital and had to get another blood transfusion. But he's back home now and seems to be doing much better.

Debbie's potassium got too low once again and she had to have a potassium IV which led to them finding that her calcium was low and getting a calcium IV. She ended up spending 5 days in Huntsman Cancer hospital for all that. The doctors also asked her if she would be up to doing another chemo treatment after the results of the MRI came back and they determined whether they thought that would help her at all. As of right now, I don't know if she's going to do it or not. Will have to find out when I see her next weekend.


I can't beleive Josh is going to be 14 next weekend! This year he's decided to have friends & family over to play the Wii and have hamburgers & sausages. He was thinking about going laser tagging but that's a little more than we can handle this year. His swimming is still going good. He has about 4 events that he's still SO close to getting his state cuts.
