End of week!!

Happy snow fall to you!! We had our first little snow fall last night. This week has been busy with school and just running errands. Last night (Thursday) Tyler and I headed to Huron because I had a dentist appointment. The roads were ok, but the visibility was not the greatest. It got better as I got closer to Huron. I came out ok with the dentist I had to have 3 cavities filled, but this time I had gas given to me and I think I will request from now on, because it helped out a lot. I had the dentist and I get so tense. I am done with that and now on to the weekend. Tonight we are cleaning house because my mom and Ryan are coming tomorrow (sat.) because Dan has his Christmas Part on Sunday. We are going to a Vikings Game. We take up a luxury charter bus leaving at 6 A.M. Sunday :( oh well, it will be fun. So will enjoy spending time with Grandma and Ryan. Saturday will be a homework day and some shopping with mom. Until Monday everybody have a great weekend and stay warm...

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I know this is a little late, but this is my only time that I could get on this and wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving. We went to my grandmas in Sioux Falls for dinner, which was really good. We got to see my dad's family. We sure missed my dad though, he was unable to make it!! I just want to make sure he knows that we missed him! Then we were off to Dan's parents place since we were going to the cities to watch his sister cheer for the football champion game at the metrodome. Unfortunately they lost, but it was nice to see her cheer. Tyler sure enjoyed watching the football game and he aunt cheer. He was even cheering with her. Today, (Sat.) we headed home and thank god we did because I got the touch of the flu, which is not fun. Tyler may have a touch of it too, so pepto(spelling ???) has been my friend. I am hoping I start to feel better tomorrow. Well, that is about it here!! I hope everybody had/has a wonderful holiday weekend!!

On the Road Weekend!!

Well, the weekend is over and now on to a short week. Yahoo!!! On Thursday we were off to Dan's parents to go the cities on Friday for his sister's football game. Well, I had some homework that I had to finish and should of been done, but one group member decided to not do their part and I had to get mad that night and she still didn't get it done, so I had to stay up till about 2:00 A.M. to finish and finally got to bed and fell asleep at 2:30 A.M. so I got a total of about an hour and half of sleep :(.... Not happy! We made it to the cities and watched Sadie cheer, which was fun, but the game was boring 21-0.. They beat an undefeated team and we were 10-2, so it was an upset to the opposing team. So Sadie's football team is back to the Metrodome on Friday the day after Thanksgiving to play for the champion. We decided to go and support her and Dan wanted to go because the other two times that his home team made it they came in second, so he knows if he doesn't go they will win and he will be a little upset. We are going to go the Mall of America I hope.... Its going to be a zoo, but oh well. This week I have just been busy with homework and school. I do have a job interview tomorrow (Tuesday) at a church preschool for the teacher assistant position. This will be for next semester. It may be crazy next semester, but I can' handle it. I have done hours at this preschool before, so I hope I get it because this is an awesome place to work and to have a child in preschool there. The people there are so good with the children. Well, I will keep you all informed. I hope everybody has a wonderful short week!!

Back to Reality!!

So I realized that I haven't posted for awhile. Well, this last weekend my mom came on Friday and stayed till Sunday night. I always enjoy my mom coming we have so much fun. She helped with the housework and Dan had some projects that he wanted to get done. He got all of them done. I tried to relax, but helped mom some. I did have to work on some homework because I went back to school Tuesday :(.... Ever since I went back its been non stop with school work... meeting with groups... get homework done. Well, that is life of a student. Not much left with the semester. Other than that nothing much else going on. This weekend we are headed to the cities to see Dan's sister cheer in the dome for high school football pre-finals. She is a cheerleader and her football team made it. We have that on Friday.. Thursday we are headed to the in-laws and then coming home Saturday night because I have tons of homework to get done before Thanksgiving. We won't be staying long in the cities :(... Well, I suppose I better get to bed. I will try and share some pictures of Tyler tomorrow of what he did the other day.... interesting... For as my health.. I am just taking it day by day... still not feeling the best, but doing ok.... Well, take care and have a great rest of week...

Called Doctor

Well, I haven't been feeling the best and thought I better call the doctor and ask some questions. I asked if I should be in a lot of pain still and it hurt to go to the bathroom (just what you wanted to know). Then I found out more about what I had done. The nurse informed me that I had a major surgery and they did a lot of things to me. She said it will take a long time to heal. Then I found out that my interstitial cystitis is going into stage 4, which is the worse stage, so that was not fun to hear. She told me that the piece that tried to to take off was built up scar tissue. For my bladder problem there isn't anything they can do to help it sides give me some meds that cause hair loss :(... Then she called in more pain med. and asked how much I was taking and I said that it wasn't really doing much, and I was only taking 1 every 4 hours and she said that I could take 2 every 4 hours. I did that today and it helped some and it made me tired, so I took a nap. Once that pain med wares off I am back to where I was before. If the pain med wasn't working they wanted to see me. She had to keep telling me that I had a major surgery and they did a lot to me and that I am suppose to take it easy and not to life heavy things. I am a person that just wants to do things on my own, so this is hard. On top of all of this my face has been breaking out or something, but its extremely red and has like sore spots all over my face and is really dry. I am to the point where I don't even want to go anywhere. Not sure what is going on there. I called for a dermatologist appointment and I can't get in until Dec. 14.... I wish I could get in earlier. Enough of my problems. I hope everybody else is doing good. I just wish I had a magic wand!! Well, I hope everybody is keep warm.... winter is around the corner :( snow can stay away... Have a great rest of week.

Halloween!!!

Happy Late Halloween!!!

Tyler enjoyed Halloween!! I have been busy with homework and trying to get everything done before surgery. Tyler was a pumpkin this year. He had fun. He wore his costume to daycare and then went trick n treating that night in Hartford at Dan's Aunt and Uncle with his cousins. We decided to go up the night before, so we wouldn't have to get up that early. I know this is late, but I wanted to share.

Surgery Results!!

Hello to all....

Its been quite a road these past few days. Last Thursday Nov. 1 was my surgery for my endometrosis. Dan and I arrived at the hospital around 5:30 A.M. we got checked in and they started getting me hooked up to everything. My anesthesiologists guy was pretty goofy... Dan and I looked at each other and thought he must of took his goofy pill this morning. The hard part was trying to find my veins and he did a good job better than I expected. The nurse didn't even try because I just have really hard veins that don't like to be found.:) Once I got into the surgery room it was around 7:15 A.M. they got me settled in and the nurse person came in to put me to sleep. All I remember is that I am giving you some medicine and I said Ok... and I was out and remember waking up around 9:22 or so. I woke up a little emotional,because I over heard a nurse talking about what they found. My first thought was I wouldn't be able to have more children. My ovaries and fallopian tubes are good. The doctor found lots of endometrosis and then they detached a big piece from my bladder, not sure what it was. They filled me with lots of fluid to make sure the piece from my bladder didn't reattach. They did a lot of lazoring. Everything came out good, so that is great. The recovering is long and slow, but it will be better soon. Its been tough lately because I can't lift Tyler for about a week, so that has been hard. I have to keep showing him and telling him about my owies. He has been a great help. This week I am off from school, so just taking it easy. I wish everybody a great week.

Happy Birthday Brooke!!

Today, is our daughter's 3rd birthday. She is our little angle that watches over us all the time. We just want to wish her a happy birthday and we miss you lots and love you lots. Every year we light her candle we got from the church and then her heart that has in it. We always say a message to her. This year Tyler said, "Love you Brooke", then he said "Love you sister Brooke" It brought tears to my eyes. It was a special moment for us. I just want to say you are always with us and your our little angle!!
