I have been MIA from reading and writing blogs. Life is crazy. Good stuff and Bad stuff has been going on and I wanted to get you caught up. Most importantly my Mom has been in the hospital for over 3 weeks. She has been in and out of ICU several times and has come very close to death on 3 occasions. We are so blessed to still have her with us. She was moved out of ICU into a regular room yesterday and we are all praying she is on the road to healing. Next in line is my Dad, he was also in the hospital. With Mom not home to care for him he had a bad fall. Ok, it actually several bad falls in a row because he kept trying to get up. He ended up with a concussion, 2 broken ribs (broken in half...not fractured....ouch!), bruised collarbones, messed up knee, etc. He basically hurt everything. Yesterday he was discharged from the hospital to a rehab to start his recovery. We are hoping that Mom will be well enough to join him at the rehab soon....and that they can share a room there until they are both well enough to go home.
A few weeks ago my oldest son graduated High School. Yes I am THAT old. Ugh. He is a
smart BRILLIANT, handsome, honest, hard-working, young man. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see what the next stage of his life has to offer. He will be going away to college in the fall and majoring in Organic Chemistry. Yeah.....he didn't get his brains from me =D
We added a new member to our household. This is my new baby girl Molly. We got her last Monday and she is totally and completely spoiled already. I love her like crazy and she is filling our days with smiles and laughter. I would say she is perfect except she keeps peeing behind the chair. And she is allergic to beef. We found that out the hard way....ugh.
Hubby has been working like crazy. They are short-handed at work and have him running ragged. I'm not the smartest person in the world but if I had a company I would make sure that more than 4 or 5 people knew how to do each job. But what do I know! lol
We went on our first camping trip of the season. The weather was great, the campground was great.....but both R and J ended up with Pinkeye and couldn't swim for several days. Thankfully they handled that disappointment very well. Other highlights of the week were winning 2 rounds at candy bar bingo and going to see Toy Story 3D. It was the very first time they had seen a movie in a movie theater and they loved it. The movie was great and seeing it in 3D was pretty cool.
So what's new with you? Are you having a good summer so far??

Glad to hear the better news on your folks - so difficult on all fronts. I think you deserve two Tastee Cakes.
Organic Chemistry?! Holy snikies - big brains for sure.
We took both the boys to Toy Story 3 as well - first for Youngest. So much fun. Saw Despicable Me this morning - cannot rec. it high enough. Good fun and lots of laughs (some tears too).
Hang in there!!!
So sorry to hear about your parents!
He must be smart as well as good looking!
Will be praying for your mom and dad!
Oh my goodness! I wish you and your parents good health.
Your new puppy is beautiful. I love dogs.
those big brown eyes are killing me! Molly is adorable!
You're old enough to have a son graduate?!?!?! Wow! Congrats! (on the graduation, not the age, hahaha!)
And ouch! that sounds like a bad fall indeed!!
Wow girl! you have had your hands MORE than full. Do you ever have those times you cry "Uncle" and it seems like no one is listening? : )
Good thoughts and prayers are being sent your way. And congrats on your son! Sounds like he is a WINNER!
I'm sorry to hear about your parents. I will keep them in my prayers.
You must be so proud of your son!
I'm glad you haven't been sick all summer & Molly looks like a great addition to the family!
Cute wittle puppy! :) Your son must be super smart...organic chemistry?! I don't even know what that is! :) Sorry to hear your parents are struggling...big hugs to you!
I love reading your blog. I check it out all the time hoping for new posts!
I hope you don’t mind --- I’ve been telling all my friends about your blog.
I printed 100 free business cards with my 10 favorite websites (yours was #1!!) and handed them out at our last Mommy Meet-up.
It made me wonder if you had ever done that for yourself? Do you ever meet anyone at a coffeeshop or a playground and start talking about blogging? Maybe you could print up some cards to hand out. Just an idea!
In return for inspiring me, I wanted to pass on these money saving tips to you:
-- 100 Free business cards at www.RedTagPrintSale.com
In case you decide to get something else printed from them (besides the FREE business cards!) I also wanted to tell you about their unlimited use promo code - it never expires and you can use it again and again:
-- 10% off promo code “RTPS10”
FYI: I’ve used this company to print fliers and signs for Church events and even yard sales. The quality is really good compared to what I’ve gotten from VistaPrint and others that offer FREE business cards.
I hope you have a great week. I’ll be checking back soon. Bye!
Hi Denise: I miss you! I hope you are doing okay. Blessings & prayers to you.

Congratulation for you.
