Its a family thing

Lets see how has my last week paned out...

Jen brought mom up on that Friday before Christmas. Mandy came that evening. Mom, Mandy & I went to dinner and did some shopping. We got home and we had a quick visit from Ruth & her friend Chris. Everyone stayed in my tiny little house. Mandy was up bright & early to go to work. Ruth & Chris left around 9 to beat the weather. (can I just say I am sick of winter & snow & ice) Sunday was pretty nice so Mom and I did some more shopping. Monday came & I took Mom to work with me she got to meet everyone. Got to leave at noon and Judy & Mandy was at the house. They took the boys out shopping to get me a Christmas present.. I got busy cooking. I had the Strausbaugh family Christmas get together that evening. I left the girls to eat the turkey I baked... Had a great time at the party.. but a funny thing happened ... as I was leaving I started to feel sick ( see a family trend going.. see all posts from everyone..hehe) Got home did Christmas presents with Mandy LOVE the throw she made... it is so warm.. Went to bed got up made some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Still feeling kind of icky.. but I have a big day in front of me pushing through!!! Kids woke up Mandy left we opened all the gifts.. The boys were super excited with their presents.. I got them a Nintendo DS can I just say I am now hooked also.. I WANT ONE!!! hehe.. They got me a new comforter thanks Mandy for your help in that decision.. anyway started cooking dinner.. still feeling crappie so I took some meds.. helped a bit.. Get a text from Christy she is on her way.. not even 5 min later I get a call from Gloria.. Christy in a accident .. SO glad she is ok.. Jan & Jaser came over.. we ate did some more presents .. they left.. by this time i am achy feeling like crap.. Judy takes mom home with her.. I go to bed.. get up to go to work I have to get better to die this is how bad I am feeling.. I have to go to work since there is only 3 in our office and Josh has the day off.. I go in Lu looks at me and says as soon as she gets done with her dad for me to go home.. I leave at 12:20 I get home go to bed.. achy snotting all over.. cant breath.. head hurts.. coughing.. Thank goodness I am on vacation oh and what fun it is.. HA!!! I crawled out of bed on Friday and took the boys to a movie.. came home and went to bed again!!

Tonsils, Nose job & a birthday

Well lets see McKinley went to the Doctor on Wednesday for his breathing problems.. They don't want to fix his nose till after he turns 16 because that is about when your face stops growing it is after puberty. So they have decided that his tonsils & adnoids are coming out. he will get that done after school gets out. He wants to have perfect attendance and the Dr. said he has lived this long with it a few more months wont hurt. We were going to do it at spring break but the dr is on spring break with his kids at the same time.

On the birthday.. McKinley turned 11 yesterday.. We had a pretty good evening. Even though it was nasty all day by the time i got home the roads were pretty ok.. so we went to Burger King for dinner and then to see a movie. We saw Mr. Morguriums Wonder Emporium. It was an ok movie.. Saturday he is having 2 friends spend the night.. pray for me.. haha

McKinley has started playing basketball again and they played their first game last Saturday they won in overtime.. it was an exciting game..

As for Quentin ..not much is going on with him right now. Just plugging away he soon will be a teenager.. think he already has the attitude..

Next weekend Mitzi will be coming in for my birthday. I turn .. .... ..... .... AHHHHHHH 45.... anyway.. it should be fun. Christy & Mandy will be joining us on Saturday for some fun.. anyone else is welcome also..

On the weight loss front I am still stuck at 85 lost.. no changes.. grr I hate being stuck.. I want to loose at least 4 or 5 pounds before Christmas.. but wont beat myself up if it don't happen..

Ok time for work.. Till next time
