can you say LAWSUIT?

Barney ate the poison cat food! Could I feel more guilty?? I don't think so. I just feel horrible. I know it was an accident, I only bought that kind because he had trouble with the dry and he really liked the gravy.


So here I sit with three leftover cans of Sliced Chicken Dinner in Gravy on my desk with the matching date, UPC and lot number of the cat food with poison in it, and one dead cat buried in my backyard.
Oh, i'm about to get pissed, I can feel it.

Restriction! what a concept!

So you know I had a port revision yesterday, I was able to eat and drink like normal though. Then, today, I stopped at Beaners (local crack house for coffee lovers) and got a mocha chill and a cinnamon roll.
I had two bites of that roll when OMG WTF IS THAT??
It was RESTRICTION my friends. And what did I do? made the classic mistake of taking a drink to try and get it down.
Yah...it didn't work.
So now I'm enjoying my soup with a couple of shrimp in it and shooting dirty looks at my cinnamon roll.
Restriction! AT LAST!!!

Not so bad I guess

Ok, so my surgery went really well, they didn't have to put me under general anesthesia!! Used a LOT of local anesthesia, and gave me something to relax. That was fun, i liked that heheh

So they re-sutured my port and added 2cc's to my band, giving me a total of 4cc's. I'm feeling ok today, just a bit sore.

I woke right up and was ready for my juice and jello in recovery, and I was home by 2:30.

This morning I got the kids to school and daycare right on time by myself and now I'm at home, resting away.

Thanks for all the prayers!

Surgery, again.

So in 12 hours, 10:15 Wednesday morning, I'll be on the slab again for a sub-q port revision. Really want to know what it is? Google it or email me.

I hope I feel better after this surgery than I did after the last one, I have class Thursday night. I've been using relaxation techinques a friend taught me to get through all the crappy medical stuff, it works pretty well.

Daniel picked out a new toy at Meijer today, an Elmo phone that says his name in voice mail messages and such, really cute. I got it programed tonight so he can hear Elmo say HIS name in the morning! He'll be so excited, he loves Elmo.

So I guess I'm ready, say a prayer for me. Love yas!

They just make me laugh.

My son, the pretty princess

This is what happens when you're the only boy at daycare.





Bobbi helps Daniel get ready


Not an allergic reaction, a makeup job on a one year old, by an 8 year old

When I asked Daniel "Are you the pretty princess?" I got an emphatic nod "yes" and a big grin hahah

Happy Birthday Grandpa :)

Today my Grandfather, Stan De Young, would have been 89 years old.

He was such a funny guy, WWII vet, part of that generation who just knew how to fix anything. He wore safari hats with mosquito netting to keep the bugs out, he puttered around the garage for hours at a time, maybe tweaking the lawn mower, putting more things in more jars or 'fixing' something he found with his welder.

There are still little notes around the cottage that he wrote, warning on not to do this, or do this exactly this way, I hope they stay there. I'm glad we have 'the shrine' at our house. the shrine is on top of our entertainment center. We have Grandma and Grandpa's cremains in a decorative box, surrounded by a lovely frame Grandpa made with a pic of both of them as young adults. On the side is Grandpa's pipe collection. He quit smoking when I was very young, but I still remember the smell of his cherry tobacco.
Whenever I'm missing Grandma, I open up the coupon organizer that came from her house and inhale deeply. It smells just like her! I try not to open it too much, so the smell lasts.

He passed in December of 2002, 9 months after my Grandma did. The night before, he was with us at church to see the Children's musical. Thank God someone had the idea to take a picture. Grandpa, Mom, Dave, Erica, Victoria, Alexis and Me, in a picture less than 24 hours before he died. How often does that happen?? I'm so glad we got it.
