Friday the 13th

The kids came home from school on friday and they all had stories about how bad friday the 13th has been. They all had a day full a scrapes, bumps, and bruises. Then they all said how next month they are not going to go to school when friday the 13th comes around again. Well Shayne was playing with his Uncle John, Shayne would sneak up and shoot John with his nurf gun. John decided the next time Shayne was sneaking up on him he would throw a plastic cup at the wall to scare him.
As you can see John missed the wall and tagged Shayne instead. He was bleeding badly and the cut was very deep so off to the emergancy room we go. The doctor said the the cut went all the way to his skull. They had to put stitches inside the cut to close up the membrane that covers the skull then 6 stitches on the outside to close up the cut.
Shayne was so good during the whole thing the only thing that gave his nerves away was the fact he was shaking the whole time. We are so glad that Shayne is ok. He even had a smile for me after his stitches.
Let's hope the next Friday the 13th is a less eventful one!

Back to Work

Well after christmas and new years it sometimes can be hard to get back into the swing of things. The kids think it should just be a long vacation until the end of the year and that just doesn't work. We just had parent teacher conf. and over all the kids are doing great. Other then a little food fight in the cafateria that Kayla decided to start! A boy in her class decided to make fun of her for the past few days. So friday at lunch Kayla was tired of it so she took her hot dog bun and stuck it to his face. The boys in her class then started throwing all of their food. So now Kayla gets to clean the lunch room for the next few days. The boys are doing great Stanley was going to speach therapy twice a week but he was doing so well they moved it to once a week. Shayne was awarded student of the month he was so happy.

Well I have been on light duty since my accident and I was finally released back to full duty on Feb. 2nd. My hand is coming along but the doctor says we wont know what it will look like for at least a year. Here is a pic of what it looked like a week after surgery.
It is coming along I now only have to wear a little bandage over the open part. I have full movement in my hand and about 90 percent in my wrist I still have to go the physical therapy. I am only going once a week now the therapist said I was doing great. I took a pic to post today my hand is a little shiny I put some lotion on it right before I decided to take the picture.
I will try to post a little sooner next time without my month gap!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STANLEY!!!

At 2:00am December 26th we were blessed with our beautiful 7lb 8 1/2oz baby boy. Stanley is so lively there is never a dull moment. Everything is such a huge deal to him and he gets so animated. Stanley is very much a mama's boy he is always following me around. Stanley has decided that black is his favorite color and cowboy boots are a must have. Stanley baby, happy birthday!!! Sorry it's a little late. I love you my sweet baby boy!!

Surgery then Christmas

Well I went to the Dr. on Monday Dec 22nd and he decided I needed the skin graph. So on Dec 23rd I had surgery right before Christmas! Here's a pic of my hand before my surgery.
They took the skin from my right thigh. Everything went well and I will start physical therapy next week. We then had a good Christmas. The kids had a great time.
Over all it has been a good year.

7 random/weird things about me

Sorry Brittney it took so long but here it is.


1. I have an issue with books! I'm always reading and it drives Mike nuts. I have my own book collection going! I own so many I can't tell you how many. I usually wont let anyone borrow them I have to keep them in perfect condition. I can read them 3 times and they still look new. When I buy a new one I go through every copy the store has until I find the best one.

2. Toilet paper. I have this thing going with how the toilet paper rolls on the toilet paper holder! Call me weird but I can't stand it if it is rolling the wrong way. I have been known to change other people's rolls so they are rolling right.

3. Surgery. I have had 3 surgerys, 3 breast lumps removed. It is possible I may be going through my 4th surgery soon. My hand was stuck in a conveyor at work and I recieved a 3rd degree friction burn on my hand. So I will most likely need a skin graph to fix it.

4. Movies. I really love horror films but I like to watch all kinds. My favorite films in jr high were Freddy Kruger (nightmare on elm street). I had a Freddy poster above my bed and once Aunt Nileen slept in my room she said she was scared all night.

5. Music. I listen to a little bit of everything. I do have some favorites in all areas. Country- Alan Jackson Hard rock- Ozzie. I have lots more but it would take to long.

6. I love being outdoors but mostly I love to be up in the mountains. Camping and fishing are the best ways to spend my free time.

7. Some of the things I liked to do besides reading! I love to cross stitch but I have not done much since having my children. They always came over and ran away with my cross stitching floss. I like to work out I have been a little lax since I started my new job at Sara Lee 6 months ago.

So there you have it took awhile just to figure out what to put down. Happy Holidays to everyone!
