Sunburn and Laundry

Well, returning from a week of vacation...hence the title - Sunburn and Laundry. Seems that is all I ever come home with from my summer stay aways.

Had a super time with my kiddos - lake daily, a little rodeoing here and there, and great times with great friends.

So glad I have the opportunity to spend that week with my girls, becoming more special the older they become ... my oldest daughter leaves for college again in just 3 weeks.

I have been working alot of hours, and she is busy as well, so vaca week helped us reconnect.

Working on a couple of home projects, and trying to empty the house of stuff we don't use anymore - clothes, toys, appliances. Not as easy as it seems when you and the hub work all the time.

Got my official release from the foot specialist today, so look out world. Gonna work on whole body healing now - first things first, a massage. Then I go to my regular doctor for a physical/well check and have him look at a couple of moles that gross me out, (already have had 3 removed in my lifetime) and a look at my back. I was told when I first started having problems with my foot (after a mri and cat scan of my back cause I was having nerve problems)...that I have an extra vertebrae in my back soooo with all this crooked walking I have had back problems.

But, nothing is gonna stop me now. I gotta get things a moving.

Running from this blog board for now.

Attack of the red wasps!

The other day I was outside cleaning the back windows of my house. :) I will take a picture and post it on here (not because my windows are spotless by any means, but to show you the windows I am talking about, to give you a visual if you will)...

ANYHOW! My hub comes around the corner with oldest daughter A and they start telling me what I am doing wrong, etc. etc. They were just kidding, I think?? Hub walks off and a red wasp lands on top of his head as he reaches the corner of the house. He flips off his ball cap as fast as he can and shakes it away, making faces and moving faster than we have seen him move in a long time...we laugh cause of his reaction and they leave me to finish the windows (Nice family, I know)on a shaky, old crickety, ladder none the less...and I SO hate ladders. But that is an entirely different story.

ANYHOW! I finish the windows, probably not the best job I have ever done, but certainly better than what they were. I walk to the corner of the house and a red wasp lands on my freaking head, probably the same one, that wasp obviously has a head fettish! (yes karma..i know!)

So naturally I flip out, I start wailing my hands around, jumping and twisting around, shaking out my hair, screaming at the top of my lungs .. the EVIL red wasp eventually flies away, and i continue to hop around still feeling as if something is crawling on me.

ANYHOW! (lol, you tired of that word yet?) My dogs come busting around the corner of the house, barking, growling, showing their teeth, circling me, trying to figure out how to protect me from what ever is obviously attacking me. I thought it was so cool! It took the 3 dogs (Max, Bubba and Ace) about 5 minutes for me to convince them I was okay and nothing horrible was happening to me.

So it got me to thinking (and for any of you that don't know me, you may think this is weird) but maybe I do that to my children. I react the instant that I feel something is wrong with them, growling, showing my teeth, sometimes barking (at them)...when all they really needed to know is that I will be there to protect them no matter what.

Maybe I need to be a little slower to react!

Now, how I got that from a wasp landing on my head, I will never know. They say God works in mysterious ways...

So that's what I got on my mind tonight. See ya.

Look for my youtube.com channel - thephfactory coming soon! It's loaded, but empty!

Long time no see...

Well, well, well - I have been away from this site for awhile.

I thought I would use the blog as a vehicle to get through physical therapy. Well, I have two appointments left of the what I thought was gonna be torture - but turned out to be pretty fun.

I wouldn't say I am completely healed, I still walk with a limp occassionally, and it swells if I am on it alot, and it hurts when the weather is changing...so it isn't healed, but it is better!

I have done so much over these last 60 days that I don't even know where to begin!

I turned 40 !!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't as big of a deal as everyone seems to make it, but it was entertaining. My family wished me well..and we had cake and all that, my kids doted over me ! Decided to bring the big birthday in with some good friends, some cold drinks and lots of laughs.

Mother's Day came and went, finally got the pots and pans I have so wanted for a long time.

Softball season came in full force as well as preparing and attending cheer camp! Cheer camp was a blast - the girls did very well and I learned A LOT! Ready for stunting...and a great season.
Softball was exciting but it was a weird, weird season cause we didn't play in a regular league. We did really well..and it was a great time...as always I love the girls that are on my team and the parents too. It is a great combination.

I should be release in the next two weeks .....for my foot!

Getting prepared for a week off work and some relaxing fun with friends and family!

More later, but my kids are bugging me for the computer!
