Its Sunday!

Well this week is finally over...My back is still hurting pretty bad. Where my stiches are is very tender and my insision is still draining..My dr is off all week so lets just pray nothing happens...I get my stitches out Monday the 8th..they are hurting me so bad because they are pulling my skin very tight..Yesterday I probobly did too much..Harper had baseball practice at 9am then Annellise had a soccer game at 10, then Harper had his football game at 11:30 but it did not start until 12..so that put us behind, thankfully mom was there and she took Annellise home to get a shower and change clothes and Kyle took her to her first birthday party at 1pm, it was a skating party..when Harper and I got there about 2 she was just skating up a storm..I was so excited to see her skate because she had never skated before...We left the party early and went to another birthday party at Build a Bear..that lasted until about 5pm...Mom met me there so she did help me with them ..thanks mom....We then met Bert at Cracker Barrell for supper ( yummy pancakes) then home to bed..We were all worn out...I really wish Bert didnt work on Saturdays because yesterday just about killed me..My back was hurting so bad...But what do you do? Your children ALWAYS come first...I slept until about 12 today..Bert took the kids to church and to eat Mexican ( of course).....Right now Bert and Harper are at his baseball game...( I just couldnt go out and sweat in the heat again today so Annellise and I stayed home)...then off to church tonight...Im posting lots of pictures to catch up...

Where do I begin?

Gosh, it has been a rough week..Last Wednesday I started feeling really bad (sort of like the flu) my back was KILLING me, not my normal back pain---About 3 am I woke up with fever of 101 and severe back pain and my insision looked horrible..I had been on antibiotics since Monday because my insision was draining a little but it wasnt swollen or red..But on Thursday it all changed...My dr is off on Thursdays because that is his surgery day..When I woke up I thought I was dying, I took my antibiotic and ate something( BAD choice)...I finally called his office and because I ate I had to wait until Friday am to see him..Alli took off work and took me to the dr. I was in SO much pain...He looked at my insision and said I was being admitted and having emergency surgery that day..So long story short, they took me to the wrong place and I was in a waiting room with about 50 people and could hardly dit down....I was suppose to go to a room instead and get some pain meds..so that delayed everything about 2 hrs.....I was not in a good mood and in pain---then they had to take lots of blood and I have horrible veins...about 1pm I went to surgery and they found out I had a staff infection ( the BAD one MRSA) its the one you get in the hospital so I got it 2 weeks prior when I had my back surgery...it is resistant to most antibiotocs so we are just praying that my dr got all the infection during surgery...If not I will get a PIC line (IV) and get IV antibiotics 3 times a day for 6 weeks...I DO NOT WANT THAT...we go on our cruise Nov 12 so please pray that these next few weeks my infection does not come back...I still have stitches and will get them out on Oct 8...My insision looks good, but I still feel pretty bad..I have NO energy and it takes everything I have to get dressed everyday...I hope that gets better. I went to the dr today and they took my blood so hopefully all is OK.....

Gosh its Tuesday!

I cant believe its Tuesday already..I havent posted since Friday..What happened to me? I am still at home.I am off all this week and will work Mon and Tues next week then start my 5 days on Oct 3..I went to the dr. yesterday, I cried of course. Bert couldnt go so I went by myself..We talked about pain management, I am suppose to get a call today telling me when my appointment is. We are going to see about a pain pump that is put inside your spine that gives you a dose. My only problem is I do work in MRI and I think that will be a problem (the magnetic field can stop it like a pacemaker) so I will have to talk with the dr and find out my options...right now I am just so tired to taking meds and just want my life back, we just dont know if it will ever get better...This is what happens after yrs of scoliosis..it sucks! I just pray that neither one of my children will ever go through this...
We went to the Hillcrest game Friday night, the kids has so much fun running around and playing..Saturday was a lazy day...I dont think we did anything..Sunday we had church and then Harper had a baseball game...IT WAS SO HOT!!! Bert and I started a Bible study on Sunday nights on the book of Revelation...I am going to enjoy it..The kids have a good time on Sunday nights too...
Harper has had some trouble in school with bringing his books home each night..It seems like every week he forgets something and cant do his homework because he forgot that book, so he cant play gameboy or his playstaion...it just about kills him...Yesterday he BROUGHT HOME ALL HIS HOMEWORK...YEAH! I was so proud of him....Lets see if he can do it today..He loves to go to daycare and I told him he could go Wednesday if he does good tonight so we will see.
Tonight we have soccer and football practice and then Thursday night..Friday is homecoming at Hillcrest, we are playing my school Copiah Academy! Who will I cheer for! HA! Saturday starts the big Soccer and Football games, Baseball practice, a birthday party, then bowling that night...Sunday is Grandaddys birthday party so we are off to Cleveland! I cant wait to see baby Presley! I need to love on that sweet baby girl.....I need some pictures of her, Im sure she has changed alot since we last saw her....well I have to go....I will post lots of new pictures after this weekend.

Its Friday!

I love Fridays...especially now that it is footbal season.. It has rained here for the past 48 hours..We did need it. It is so nice outside to my truck temperature says 74 degrees...WOW! Tonight we are planning on going to the Hillcrest football game. I think I can make it sitting on the bleachers for a little while..The kids just love to go, Harper runs aroung with his little friends playing football and chasing girls..Annellise loves to cheer with the cheerleaders...She wears her cheerleader suit and pompoms...They are so cute!
Annellise had soccer practice Tueday night, bless her heart,Harper took her soccer ball and was playing with it, she was yelling at him to give her the BASKETBALL....ha, you would think at least she would know what type of ball she uses for soccer...Harper didnt get to go to his first football practice because of rain so who knows when he will practice...Next Saturday we have a soccer game, football game, Annellise has a birthday party to go to and our Sunday school class is going to bowl on Saturday night and oh I forgot Harper has baseball practice too....why do I do this to myself?......We have had so many people bring us food this past week...It was so nice of them, I think we have all gained about 5 pounds...All I do is sit here and EAT!!! right now I have homemade brownies and pound cake sitting on the kitchen counter...

Annellise my funny child

Yesterday Annellise came home and as usual has work she had done that day in school...She has been practicing so much on writing her name..It was my mistake and this summer we learned in all capital letters..well,WRONG, they dont teach that so we have had to work on lower case letters. Bless her heart her parents did not give her an easy name..ha....But she has done well this past week, Anyway, one of her sheets was a page she was to color and it said something like What is something you thank God for and my child said......High School Musical 2...(not her parents or family but a movie) she is so funny and obsessed with High School Musical and Hanna Montana....THank goodness it is a Disney movie and not anything bad.....I have no idea what God has planned for my little girl but she is definately a funny,loud, and loving child...She only goes to school to socialize and can tell you who every child ( and their parents) are in the elementary and they all LOVE her....SHe loves to hug all the children( she is about 3 inches taller than most of them..HA)....I have no idea where she gets it because I am not really a people person ( I have a hard time talking to people I dont know) I guess Bert is in a way but nothing like Annellise and Harper is more like me and pretty shy around people....this week we start our Onward Soccer and Football practice....It is still so hot, Annellise has soccer practice tonight and Harper has football on Thursday...I will take some pictures....Annellise is going to be so funny I am excited to see how she will do, Harper will do great, at tryouts the guy told me that he has done better than any that had tried out so far...He and his friends play football EVERY day on the playground so I am excited to see what he will do....He is just so skinny and tall I worry that he will get hurt, I guess I should be thankful it is flag football.....he just loves it.....I hope doing baseball and football at the same time will not be too much for him..I am so thankful he is athletic ( I had hoped he wouldnt play the piano or and instrument) sorry for all those who do I just never wanted my son to do that....I probobly shouldnt say that but Bert will surely agree..HA....Anyway I have rambled on long enough, I am still at home recovering..I am pretty sure my surgery didnt work, yesterday I was on my feet for a couple of hours and BACK PAIN again---the same as before, so unless I sit all day I am going to hurt and that does NOT make me happy......I better go, I have to go and get the kids, its my only excitedment all day to get out of the house..HA.....I will post pictures of soccer and football later in the week.....

Baseball......and Sunday

Today was our first fall baseball game, it was a lot of fun and Harper did GREAT!!! He played short stop today ( he had never played that position before)..He stopped the ball and ran to 2nd and got someone out and then he got the ball and threw it to 1st and got the player out...I just can not believe how great he did..he also hit the ball great ( he never got out) this was really the first time the team had played together and had only 1 practice and they won 13 to 5 ( really it would have been more but at 3rd quarter they turned the scoreboard off) My baby is awesome!!! It was so hot I mean so hot..I was burning up! we then went to Bops and got ice cream....When we got home Alli and her family was here with a STRAWBERRY cake! That is my ultimate favorite cake ( my moms recipe) I usually only get it for my birthday but since I had back surgery I guess I deserved it HA ...I will definately start Weight Watchers now...I am miserable!
Ok, I am going to vent...I have talked before about Rock of Love (the show about Bret Micheals finding love)...I hate Lacy and she is still here..WHY! she is such a LOSER and SO UGLY! I love little Jess I hope he picks her....The only ones left are Jess, The Stripper Heather, and Ugly Lacy......Poor Brandy went home by her own choice today...I liked her too..Next week we meet their parents..I cant imagine what Lacy's parents think of her.....Anyway, I will be VERY disappointed in poor Bret if her picks anyone but cute little Jess...
Bert and the kids have gone to church tonight..Bert is starting a Bible study tonight for men and the kids want to go and they will have lots of fun and learn about Jesus...Every other Sunday Annellise will have choir and she will LOVE that!
Anyway I better go, I want to say Happy Grandparents day! I know I dont always tell you but we really appreciate All you do for us and we love you!

Lazy Saturday

I am soooo bored! Annellise spent the night with Caki and Pop and Harper spent the night with Russell...I finally talked Bert into taking me for a ride last night..I have been dying to get out of the house. We went to Blockbuster and the grocery store to get some milk..I watched 2 movies last night and read 2 magazines. Today I have watched 2 movies on Lifetime Movie Network, not a good idea, I have cried for 4 hours...Why do they make the movies so sad? Harper had baseball practice this morning and him and Bert have now gone to Wal Mart, Annellise is still at Caki and Pops... Payton decided he wanted to go this morning too because he thought Annellise was having more fun than he was at their house..He wanted to play in the playhouse and hunt with Annellise and Pop. So I am still stuck here in the chair going CRAZY!!!! I have read peoples blogs that I dont even know and now I am watching yet another Lifetime movie..My cousin Ashley is having another baby..YEAH...mom just called and told me. They were at the grove at Ole Miss and Molly Cate had a shirt on that said Im going to be a big sister...that is so sweet...Congrats Ashley and Ken....My Sunday School class is bringing over supper tonight ( it is so thoughtful of them)...I have a great class! I am hoping to start driving this week and maybe going back to work the next...I hope and pray that my back is better...I have so much to do this fall with the kids and would love to be pain free....Plus Bert and I are going on our cruise in November..not long at all...I need to start my Weight Watchers again when I recover because I know I will do nothing but eat on the boat....Well I better go, hopefully someone will be home again soon so I can have someone to talk to....it really weird that when you can actually take a nap or catch up on reading you never do it, wonder why that is?

my surgery is over--yeah---Im a little disappointed because when I was in surgery my dr couldnt find the crack in my fusion, therefore my surgery didnt require new screws and hardware. I had some scar tissue and other stuff that he had to clean out in my back.. We will not know if that was causing my severe back pain for about 7 to 10 days..Right now I am just taking it easy,not doing ANYTHING, ( BORED), I am still in a lot of pain from the surgery. My sweet little children have been so good and helpful...Little Annellise just loved on me yesterday, rubbed my hand and told me she loved her mommy..(they are so sweet)....Harper is in heaven this week because he gets to go to daycare everyday..He loves daycare, Annellise hates it but today she starts her dancing at daycare..She was so excited! I cant wait to drive and get back to myself again..I am so tired of having back pain!....Oh well I have had my pitty party sorry that I have bored you.....Thank you all for helping while I was in the hospital...I could cot have done it with out my parents, Alli and Kyle, and Bert ( I actually slept pretty good with his snoring in the hospital) He snores SO BAD! I will have to remember to take some earplugs when we go on our cruise ha...but I love him anyway..ha..

Happy Labor Day!

It is hard for me to realize today is actually a holiday..I was off today anyway and Bert is at work as usual, I cant tell you how many times I have caught myself trying to go get the mail..ha...Annellise and Harper are playing in their rooms and there is nothing on tv..I am watching the marathon of ROCK OF LOVE, I have seen all the episodes already so I dont know why I am watching them again..My Young and the Restless, Dr. Phil, and Oprah are not on, its all tennis and who wants to watch that...Back to Rock of Love, those girls are crazy especially Lacey, she is CRAZY...I have no idea why Bret will not let her go.....I love little Jes and her hot pink and blond hair, I hope he picks her but Heather the stripper will probobly win...
I go into the hospital at 7 IN THE MORNING..I am getting nervous as it gets closer and closer, luckily I have a valium to take in the morning....I am soooo nervous about getting my IV, it makes me nausious just writing it....After the IV I am fine, its just getting that needle in my arm.......OK no more about the needle, as I have said I am so bored today, there is nothing to do and the kids so not want to play with me....they have eaten enough m&m's and skittles to make you sick...For some reason Annellise likes to mix them in a ziploc bag (it is really gross to think about mixing the two)...Well I will check back in about a week...Happy Labor Day! ( I hope yours is more exciting than mine..HA)
