Look what I found in the Flower garden....

HOPE!

Let's give them something to blog about.

So I am getting a lot of flack lately for not blogging. But when you have nothing in your life to blog about that is to be expected. I keep hearing "there are always things to blog about" and I suppose that is right. But I just assume that people don't want to hear about the mole that was removed from my boob, the fact that I have 3 loads of laundry that I just don't want to fold and how I spend all my time working and then trying to catch up on the sleep I missed.

I so wish I could blog about some of the things that happen at work, I have some amazingly disgusting and hilarious stories. But because of that HIPPA law I can't talk about any of it. I suppose I could still talk about it but then I would lose my job and that wouldn't be fun at all.

I suppose there are some small things that have happened but they don't necessarily need their own blog post.

Like:

I've given up soda, some days I love this and some days I would just love a glass of Ruby Red Squirt or a Cherry Pepsi from Crest. (hmm maybe today is a I want soda day) I have lost 10 pounds since quitting, I have been drinking a lot more water and I feel all around healthier.

I have been working out. I haven't established a routine yet its still sorta hit or miss but I am doing it.

I have filed my taxes and no I didn't conform and announce this in a status update on Facebook.

My best friend is getting married.

The kitchen has been ripped apart. Those who know my family at all know that we are "do it ourselfers" My parents and my Brother built the addition on our house with the help of our neighbor who is a contractor. Well now comes the kitchens turn. I came home from work Saturday morning and the Kitchen cabinets were all in the dining room and half of the ceiling was ripped off, Good times. I am sure that my Mom will post stuff about it on her blog.

The momentous event occurred and we moved my Aunt and Uncle into their new house.

Laira is a goof and Bailey is a sass..nothing new there.

Hard things, Part 1

A lot of things have been going on this week, and most of them are hard things.

My was-band's Grandpa passed away. Grandpa West was an amazing guy. He was always so full of love and kindness for everyone. He was funny too. All of his daughters have L names and all of his sons have D names. He called me Lynae for a long time and would always explain to me in great detail why he got so confused. He taught me a great lesson when Bailey was blessed. He was the only man on my ex's side of the family to stand in the circle and bless her. He knew it was an important thing for her, it wasn't about B or I and our divorce, or who was wrong or who was right. It was about that tiny little baby. That has always stuck with me.

I learned alot about him today at the funeral that I never knew. I know B mentioned that he was really smart, but I didn't know he had a PhD, and many other educational triumphs under his belt. I also didn't know he had served in the Military. I hope to be able to learn more about him. I just wish I had taken the opportunity to learn it from him personally.

I love him, and even though I don't belong in that family anymore. He never would have let anyone know, He loved me, He loved my girls and I couldn't have asked for a better example.

This has been a hard thing.

Update

Here is an update on what is going on at our house. Bailey was released the next day from the Hospital, We now have our own nebulizer which gives Bailey breathing treatments when she needs them. She is starting to return to normal, but still has a terrible cough.

It turns out that she has RSV. Normally it only causes big problems in babies, but she was really having a hard time with it. One thing about RSV is that it is very contagious. Bailey who is so sweet and shares everything has shared her germs with Laira and I, who now have awful colds.

I have to go to work tonight and I am sure I will be sucking down plenty of dayquil to make it through my shift. Laira thinks I am magic since I gave her Tylenol and it made her feel better.

In the mean time we will be pushing PO fluilds , Tylenol Q4 and anything else PRN
