Its been awhile .... so I've been told ;)

lets try this again ....

My friend Lin is having surgery in 2 days. One thing I'm so happy about this time round is that Gary is home and will get to be with her during the surgery .... She certainly won't feel like she's going thru it alone with him there. I hope she knows she's in my thoughts and prayers.

My boys ... I couldn't be more proud of my kids than I am at this very moment ... Austin got straight A's for the 6th year in a row! He's now a Gateway Young Achiever Alumni and was recognized by the School Board as such. I feel like Luke is really excelling in preschool. He seems to really like it there and in the few short months he's been there has started counting to 10 (of course when HE wants to) and he says his ABC's.

My house ... I've been on a little bit of a cleaning kick ... my room is almost presentable now ... I've got quite a bit together for a yard sale.

Remodeling ... I want to re-do my bathroom. I've re-grouted the tiles in the shower about 5-6 times in the last 6 years .... its gotta go .... We found a shower surround and faucets that will only cost about $150. I'm spending my Memorial Weekend tearing out the old tile and possibly dry wall if its shot too. I may have to have shower curtains up for awhile till my Dad can help me install the new stuff, but thats ok ... I can make due, its only temporary, right???

My backyard .... I want to put up a retaining wall and get my fence OUT of the neighbor's yard. (it sits 4 ft into their yard due to the hill that my house sits on) Since we had the other dog the hill has been washing away, he completely tore up the hillside. Anyway, that may be a project that will have to wait awhile ... Dad thinks its going to cost big bucks .... I hope not ...

Anyway, guess thats it for now ....

darn it

I had this whole long post done and ready to go and I don't know what the hell happened .... I'll re write later ....

Fair warning ... TMI ....

Every month, I feel as if I have "Out of Body Experiences" Meaning ... that I feel like I'm watching myself out of control and I can't do anything to make it quit ... I can't shut it off ... I see myself yell and scream and turn instantly into the Tazmanian Devil ....

I really don't want to go to the doctor, I just want it to go away. The last time I said something to the dr, they changed my pills ... They can't say its from birth control pills cause I'm not on any, I had my tubes tied right after Luke was born and haven't been to the Doctor since that time (that Dr. anyway). I'm sure its related to AF, since typically I start within a day or two of blowing up.

I know it scares the hell out of my kids when I get this way ... I know it does cause it scares the hell out of me, and they are usually the ones who get the brunt my craziness ....

Any thoughts?
