5 years ago

Five years ago today i was snuggled up in bed on the labor and delivery ward at MTMC with an iv and a bedside commode, being induced, watching Fargo, and awaiting the birth of my first child.....
Sweet boy, love of my life, greatest thing i have ever done, I love you a million trillion, more than life itself.....



Here's to another great 5 years

Mt St Helens Coen

So, when i asked Coen what he wanted to be for halloween, he said volcano......So i made it happen

Movin out

So much has been going on lately around here, with my health and back and pneumonia and the whole mess with the swine flu. I havent had a whole lot of time to deal with a very large change that has been going on in my life.
While we were in Florida, mema had a "stroke" or what the docs thought was one and went into the hospital and later rehab. Everyone decided she could no longer care for herself on her own, so she decided to move into the Stones River Manor. We all got together the other night to pack her up and clean out the apartememnt. I realized, coen would no longer be going over there, which he has done every wednesday since he was born, and never would mema fix me a lunch or ask me to sit a spell....And it makes me extremely sad.... I know she is making friends and getting taken care of, but it is sad, and a little big for me to wrap my head around.

And it was difficult that i couldnt help my mom anymore than i could, being as sick as i was.....

Ok, so last Sunday i was admitted to the hospital, and spent 3 days there with Pneumonia and suspected swine flu..Woohoo. Just let me tell you it sucks...I am a week out, tomorrow and i am still just barely making it. I went to Walmart last night and managed to walk to the mailbox today, and let me tell you, these are no small feats.

I dont think i really realized how sick i was. It's bad when you call the docs office to make a follow up appt and the nurse actually says, "wow you were a really sick girl." I have a hard time not asking for help and being really independant, so it has been really really difficult to just stand back and let the house go, and the laundry go, and the dishes pile up, and just expect denton to pick up most of the work. He keeps saying, in sickness and in health, and you would do it for me, but i still feel bad. Thank god Coen had plans in McMinnville this weekend, it has given me a chance to really rest.

Now i just gotta finish his costume, get ready for Halloween and plan the week....Yah

Pimp my wagon
