Bite your Tongue....

Ok, so here I am carving out some time to let ya'll in on some activities from the past few days:

So, like Daniel (hubby) had an appt yesterday (got there @ 9:41 am) and we left @ 3:00p.m.!!!!! Yes, I said 3 pm!! The nurses were so confused they were getting ready to have D take a CT scan and we were like what? The Dr was ordering one for the middle of Aug and they were trying to prep him!! We just wanted out!! Finally a nurse who had his head on came and straightened everything out and we were outta there!! We had actually been released@ 2:20 but the nurses never came in to let us know!! It wasn't until we were gonna walk out that they paid us some attention!! D (Diabetic) needed to eat and so we were going to leave earlier @ 12:40 but they took us to a room and left us there!! ( So we wouldn't leave? ) C'mon, we are pretty patient but 5+ hrs? Just so they could tell us, "Continue your meds, u r doing well." Ughhhh, I know there's a severe shortage and they are probably doing their best..... patience..... Bite your tongue.....

N-e who..... so, Chris is back!!! My biggest boy was missing us cuz he wanted a bear hug when he saw me yesterday... ( I frantically gasped for air...) N was so excited she forgot she was hungry and wanted to stay home with C and so did D Jr. ---- That only left us one option - Daniel and I went for dinner @ Olive Garden (alone) and brought home dinner for them..... :O)

Wow, now - there was this well dressed couple sitting behind Daniel and they freaked me out!! They had a 3 ish? yr old rather big daughter (sucking on a "binky") who reigned over them..... she was walking around getting in the way of the waiters carrying trays of food and when her parents told her she needed to sit down - she totally ignored them... when their food arrived, she began throwing food across the table and smearing ketchup with her fork. She then proceeded to crawl into the bottom basket of the stroller (not once - twice ) and it flipped over next to Daniel (she was o.k) - needless to say the mother was upset and she replied, "We can't even go to dinner!" along with a few choice words!! Whoa!!! Man, what is going on there? ....Bite your tongue.... : O0

One more thing before I leave - the other day I received in the mail a "sample" diaper. When D Jr and N saw this - they were so excited!! I was like - no - it's not what you think!!! It took me a few minutes to calm them down enough to convince them that they have always sent me "samples" from as far back as when we lived on Brandywine.... As we were driving along - N says,"Mom, I'd like for you guys to have another girl so we can even out." and D quickly responded,"Yeah, so to double the annoyance? No thanks!!" Man, I just felt the love ... ; O)

Gotta love it!!!! - D

Warnng: Mouth Operates Faster Than Brain!

Well the title says it all.... for whatever goofy reason I occassionally allow my mouth to sputter on without a formed thought. Has that ever happened to you? For example, the other day I was trying to call my three kids (Daniel, Naomi, Chris) and ended up saying, "DANACHRI!!" Now, of course, the kids turned around and looked at me like WHAT? ( Hmmm, kinda hard to get the kids to take you seriously when that happens!! ) Last night's study was nothing different. I mentioned that Chris had just turned 15 and so there I was talking to some of the youth (Roman, Ruben, Tiffany) and I was letting them know that I was planning on pizza, cake & ice cream for Sunday. As I was rattling on - they were looking at me funny - so I stopped and asked "What?" They busted out laughing that they were leaving for camp Saturday!!! --- Duh!! --- What was I thinking? ---- Luckily, I had on my shirt that said the exact same thing above......

Let the Fun Begin!

Ok, so, I decided to try something new today ... I figured since my son is turning 15 - I should commemorate it with starting a blog. (lol) Ok, so let's move on. I am 33 yr old happily married Chistian woman and yes, on my profile I stated that I am a mommy of five kids and a grandma (a.k.a. granny ) to six grandchildren (a.k.a. SugarBabies!). The older two girls, Christy (26) & Bianca (24), are from my husband's 1st marriage (therefore making it possible to be a "granny") and we have three young 'uns at home Chris (15), Daniel (10), and Naomi (9). ----My life has been full of kids!! :o) ------ I'm hoping to keep up with this blog as much as I can cuz there's always something going on with us!! Let me give you an example of the last two weeks or so...... my husband was admitted to the hospital July 4th, our daughter Bianca & family came for a weekend visit not realizing that dad was being admitted...., left Sunday July 6, husband released July 10th, Christy & family arrive for a weekend visit same day, meanwhile, daughter Naomi is suffering with canker sores that have swelled up her lips and mouth, so I take her to the doctor Friday July 11th!! Lately, things have been crazy but hey - who said life was easy, right? As of today, all is calm with husband who is better ( on PICC line with antibiotics ) and Naomi back to normal all while trying to get back on track with school!! .....Did I mention I homeschool? :O)
