Im back

I was blog-free all weekend. And aside from missing all of you terribly, it was a very nice weekend. Friday Amy and her son came over to hang out for awhile. Then after she left an old friend came to visit. She was my best friend growing up. We were inseperable. That is until near the end of High School. She went to Catholic school and I went to public school. Plus her family moved about 20 minutes away. Which to a kid with no drivers license is HUGE. So we started to slip apart and eventually boys got in the way and poof...we lost touch. Now flash forward over 15 years and little thing called Facebook and we are right back to being friends again. She was here on friday until 12:30am, then came back Saturday morning for a few hours before heading back home to VA. Hopefully she will be up on Easter weekend. Sunday was ok. Instead of me not dragging my butt out of bed it was Hubby who had a major headache. By lunchtime he was finally feeling better and we headed over to the farm for lunch and family time.

We had a great day and the kids played until they dropped. The weather was so nice, we even got to fly kites in the afternoon.
So that was my weekend....I really think that more happened but I can't think of it right now.
Happy Monday!!

Today and Days of Grace

Hellloooooooooo....I'm back and feeling fine.
Everything went perfectly today and I am really glad it is over. Honestly the procedure was nothing. I got knocked out and dont remember a thing. Much easier than a pap-smear, lol. The prep....well, thats another thing all together. It was rough. And I didnt sleep. And I hated not eating. Fat girls like to eat....not survive on clear liquids. So Im glad that is over. Afterwards Hubby took me to Olive Garden and I pigged out! Then I took a nap :-) Tonight I was picked up by C who drove me to his Induction Ceremony into the National Honor Society. Yay C! Im so proud of you! Afterwards C, his dad and stepmom and I went for ice cream. So I ate enough today to last for days! Now Im watching tv and going to rest on the couch with my feet up. (Oh....what do you think of my new haircut??)

Today I found Grace in....

-Being done my prep!

-Seeing my firstborn inducted into the NHS. He certainly was not born with my brains....thankfully!!

-FOOD....lots of yummy, wonderful food.

-Knowing I will see my childhood BFF tomorrow after 15 long years.

-Seeing God answer my prayers again and again. God is Good!!

Good morning.....maybe

I cant sleep. Sleep is for people who Haven't drank HalfLytely Bowel Prep Kit. Ugh. At this point I am looking FORWARD to my colonoscopy.....because I will be ASLEEP. And then afterwards I can eat. I seriously love food. And I miss it. I know it has only been since midnight on Tuesday. But everyone in my house keeps eating in front of me. Do you know how many cookies my kids ate yesterday?!? Anyway, I am way off my reason for this early morning post. Yes, I can't sleep but I am not here for sympathy. Nope, I am here to ask everyone to pray for Jillene. She is having her surgery this morning and needs prayers. Prayers that everything goes as planned. Prayers for a speedy and pain-free recovery. So get to it....start praying. Thanks!!

TMI and other crap

Im on clear liquids only today. Want to know why? Because I have to prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Sounds fun, huh? I am thinking that the prep is probably worse than the test, since I will be sleeping during the test and wont know if they stick the tube in the right hole or anything. Gross. Ugh. Im hungry and it is going to be a long, long day. I just hope some new magazines come in the mail today so I have something to look at while I spend my entire evening in the potty.

Happy Wednesday.

Monday night Sleep-over

Last night me and the boys had a sleep-over in the family room. We pulled the sleeper out of the couch and made the bed. Then cozied up to watch a movie and eat popcorn. Then we all cuddled up and went to sleep. J on one side, R on the other and me in the middle. And yes, I was squished all night but it was still super fun and totally worth it. I woke up several times and had hands and/or little faces in my face....but being that close and hearing their little breaths was AWESOME. Each time I woke up I said a prayer and thanked the Lord for giving me such precious little boys. I can't wait to do it again. (and Hubby took a pic of us in bed but I didnt get a chance to download it yet....but I will post it asap)

Sunday night Days of Grace

I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather here has been great and we had a very busy weekend. Saturday we drove up to Philadelphia to watch C's Robotics Team compete at Temple University. They made it to the quarter-finals. We stopped at Reading Terminal Market for lunch then headed home. Me and Hubby were both sorry we didnt take the wheelchair....I totally overdid it. And I am still paying for it. Today I couldnt get out of bed and get moving so I missed church. But after some meds and a nap I did make it to my MIL's for a late lunch. J flew his kite and R played in the dirt. I mainly sat on my butt....thats about all I can do today. But I wouldnt change anything, it was a great weekend.

Today (and yesterday) I found Grace in....

-Seeing the Robotics competition (this was the first one we got to this year)

-Ice cream at my MIL's this afternoon

-Nice, warm sunshine

-Meeting more bloggy friends.....I am really enjoying the Ultimate Blog Party.

-Seeing Jay's bald head....Way to Go Jay!!

-Psalm 36:7 God, your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wings.

-Psalm 37:5 Depend on the Lord; trust Him, and he will take care of you.

I know that was 7 instead of 5, but I didnt do them yesterday :-)

Friday Days of Grace

Hello Bloggy Friends. Today was great. I met alot of new bloggy buddies from the Ultimate Blog Party. Needless to say, I spend alot more time than usual on the computer too. Bad Denise! This afternoon was nice too. I got a nap with R and then we all went out to dinner before going grocery shopping. I also needed to pick up some prescriptions tonight and found out that there is a national narcotic shortage. Seriously. Crap. That means my friendly pharmacist handed me my Percocet script back and said "Sorry...cant help you with that one". Ugh. I did call around and find another pharmacy that still has the medicine. Thank God. So tomorrow morning I will be heading there to get it filled before someone else gets the pills. I hope this situation gets remedied soon....for me and all the other chronically ill people in the US. Tomorrow we are headed up to Philly to watch C's Robotics team compete. I don't think they did very well in competition today, so I am hoping tomorrow is better. Maybe we will bring them good luck.

Today I found Grace in....
-Hubby suggesting we go out to dinner so I wouldn't have to cook

-Finding a pharmacy that still has percocet

-the boys being super-good at the restaurant

-Staying WAY below budget at the grocery store

-Meeting lots of new bloggy friends!
