Still alive & breathing

original post date: 11/10/10

Yep we are still here, breathing & alive. My daughter moved out, my son has an interview at Hot Topic & he is engaged, my second son is getting promoted, and youngest son is getting enrolled in a school better suited for him.
The best news …. My husband is retiring! Check that, he’s putting his paperwork into retire. It’s good by Army, hello Civvies World. LOL funny to say seeing that I am living off base already. But this will be great, not to have to attend FSG meetings or battery events. Not have to worry if what is happening in our family is disturbing his COC. (when you have several medical appointments a day for 3 weeks … they tend to get rather annoyed)

I have gotten back into life since I went on vacation. I am learning that being a grand mother can be amazing fun. I have two little ones to pay with silly toys, sing songs & just dance all over the house. I play on the equipment at the park with the oldest, and rock the youngest to sleep. I get to eat with my fingers at dinner, getting the oldest to try new things & learn to enjoy what you have. Stories, songs, walks, naps (boy oh boy do I need those), playing with pots & pans … and that list goes on. It will be interesting as the youngest gets beyond the infant stage. But she still has fun, smiles & tries to laugh quite a bit.

Now I am just waiting for the clearance for my neck surgery. I think it will help so much with my migraines, and neck issues. Then I have to wait & get clearance for them to work on my back … he he he my kids said they should just take out all the bones & give me artificial ones. Yep I can see that happening, “ma’am we have decide that we are going to cut you from top to bottom taking out the bones on one side. Replacing them with these new artificial bones. Then we will close you up, and do the same to the other side. You will take 6 months to a year to recover. But we can discuss that after the surgery. OH  I think she is under, I hope she heard what I was telling her.” LMAO as if that will ever happen, 50 million dollar person … not!!! They had a great idea, something that has been made in to TV shows. Oh well, now it is time to wait …. hope for the best & expect the worst.
And yes, I am hoping they call & tell me my surgery is schedule in two weeks. So wait I will do.
