Busy week!

This has been one crazy week and it's not over yet! We wrapped up our church's VBS last night, that was a fun time. Today, I have a LOT of catching up to do around the house. Tomorrow, we're having some buddies over for dinner. Monday, Hubby and I have to drive to Houston for a Dr. appt. Then, finally, we can relax a little bit on Tuesday!!!

So, maybe Monday night I will have a chance to tell you all about the book I am reading!!

Busy-ness and illness....

Hey guys. We've had a crazy hectic week thus far! I guess it really started on Friday, with sis-in-law's high school graduation. Then, Saturday morning we had a funeral to go to (extended family member), then we went out to Louisiana to visit with those family members. They had a pool, which X-Man did not leave for about 5 hours, except to go potty once. Finally, we came home, because Daddy had to go to work. He worked all night long and on Sunday morning, we opted to just REST all day and recover from all the craziness!

Daddy had a nasty rash on his leg, which we thought was a bad case of poison oak/ivy from working in the yard. As time passed, it just kept getting worse and worse. Turns out, buddy Kris says it's "cellulitis." Much yuckier than plain ol' poison ivy!! You can "Google" that on your own, I cannot stomach even looking up a link for ya! Besides, I am living with the real rash "live and in color" here at home!! :-p

He's been confined to air condition places and instructed to stay off his leg. That just made my day, because now I can keep the boxes coming in front of him on the couch! We should be completely unpacked in no time!! Hehe. Don't worry, he agreed to my plan, I'm not being an unsubmissive wife! :-)

Later gators.

long week!!

Sorry I haven't updated all week! We were adjusting to Daddy being gone training for work all week. He started his new job last Tuesday and was busy doing the orientation stuff for the first few days. And then, we began the new adventure named, "On-Call." Dan's new schedule is a five days-on, three days-off rotation. And during his five days ON, he is on-call. Which means we could hang out all day long, and then Daddy has to go to work at 11:30pm. Which is precisely what happened Thursday night. Whew, I was not quite prepared for that one! I am okay having just our kids, but two of his cousins were home, and his aunt was at work. So, Jana was home-alone that night with all the kids! They were all asleep, of course, but this is a big dark house that I am not used to yet! For a minute, I was almost thankful for the large, intimidating Great Dane outside. For a minute.

And THEN......Saturday, Dan calls me and tells me has just been in a wreck. A 12 car pile-up to be specific! It started several cars in front of Daniel and the car behind him accelerated to get away from an 18-wheeler behind it! When that car sped up, it hit our Civic slightly on the left rear bumper, then bounced around on the dividing wall! All we have are some blue scratches. One truck was upside down, and the 18-wheeler jack-knifed completely. Daniel saw that truck in his rearview mirror and darted out of the way. He actually ended up in front of another car that was totalled. But, no fault or damage done to us, so he was sent on his way home. Thank you Lord!!!
