Happy Cuppy Cake Day

 

Isn't she sooo cute??  She is so much fun to color too.!!

 

Things are good here this week.  Our snow is finally starting to melt and we are returning back to normal, whatever THAT might be.  :) 

 

Ive been sick with a cold again..ugh!  Went to doc last night and got a couple of whopping shots!  YOUCH!  But already I am feeling way way way better.  First night back in the gym last night even, it felt great!!

 

Girls are good today.  We have really been struggling with Hannah's back.  Hoping to see a specialist soon.  She has been getting these massive back pains and then usually a migraine to follow.  Poor little thing has really not felt well for quite some time.  So we took her to doc, not productive as all she did was give her meds for migraines.  Took her to massage therapist that gave us some stuff to do to try to work through the pain.  But still thinking we might need to look further.  So right now she is balancing on an exercise ball doing her school work.  :)  Glad that thing is getting some use!  Today appears to be a good day.

 

Heather is doing really really really well.  Her health is really great.  Shes feeling better and better every day.  She's starting some classes online and getting very very excited to start college next fall.  She is looking forward to perhaps a summer trip up North to see her friends and do some fun stuff.

 

Ronnie is doing great too.  Really glad to be back to work this week.  He's doing great!!  He is still having issues with his feet and is so frustrated that a doctor hasn't been able to fix him yet.  He too is looking for new answers.

 

I, myself am doing great!!  Ready for summer and to get the garden rolling.

 

 



It has been awhile since we Bawked!

So you would think that I'd have oodles and oodles of time to blog.  If nothing else, I'd photos of everything to show you what was going on with me.  Sorry, I am failing madly at both!  Our life has been eventful, but crazy!

First lets talk bout these Chicks.  Don't you just love them??  Oddly enough I had no idea how true the "HEN PECKING" and "HEN PARTY" terms were until we experienced a change in pecking order this winter.  My dominant bird, Houdini fell to the bottom of the totem pole recently.  I have to admit, I felt sorry for her.  I babied her, brought her in and gave her a hot bath and blew dry her feathers as she worked on healing up the awful holes the other girls were leaving in her head.  They were bullying her and and I wanted so badly to carry her around in my pocket.  I wanted to tell those other hens to leave her alone, and put them in their place.  They needed to take their gossiping selves and go find something else to do.  Houdini did heal up just fine and seems quite content without her power.  I don't guess I will ever understand.

So one of this years resolutions, not that I make OR keep them, but I am trying really really hard at being better at correspondence.  Writing letters and cards, sending emails and texts and *gasp* even making PHONE CALLS.  I am trying to make more effort to acknowledge those that are important to me.  It is so hard!!  We have gotten soooo spoiled with instant everything.  Facebook makes us complacent to real people.  We get so wrapped up in funny pictures the little blurbs that we hardly interact.  Sad. 

So this year.  I got to go with my mom to see 3 Broadway plays in NYC!  It was soooo much fun and we got to see so many cool things.  Including Bradley Cooper, Hugh Jackman and Tony Danza.  The stars that we met were phenomenal, the food that we tried, amazing and the entire trip was a whirlwind of crazy exciting.  I hope to get our photos lined up soon so we can share.  I had camera issues so I am having to share with mom.  :)

Returning home we had two weekend scares with Heather.  She ended up in CCU with a UTI the first time.  Bloodsugars insanely crazy.  Then the next weekend we were back again.  Not for sure, but I think we narrowed it down to a faulty pump. CRAZY!!  Anyways, were working on getting a new one.  Animas totally rocks tho and sent us a temporary one until we can get the new one passed through insurance and such.  I hate insurance.  I hate life without it.  I hate it with it.  Sigh, but that is a rant for another day.  Long story short, shes doing great now.  Her blood sugars are really good and shes starting to feeling good again.

Then my aunts came to visit.  It was so great to see them, as always.  We had a great time.  But TIRING!!!  So then I start to regain my footing and the dadblame snowstorm of the century comes in!!  OMG!  Serious??  We spend a week at home.  Roads iced, fields snow covered...thankfully we still had power.  Life is good.

I do hope that each of you are well.
