eight week surgery check up was not as good as I thought it would be, still had some rough spots that had to be touched up with silver nitrate, that was fantabulously fun.....NOT.
the court thing went as expected, not what I wanted, but as expected, to make a long story short, it was choosing the lesser of two evils....my son maintains legal residence with me, and time is split 50/50 as well as expenses......and not even a week after the final hearing, my ex husband and his ex girlfriend are in court with restraining orders ON EACH OTHER *rolls eyes* ...I am so glad I'm OUT of THAT circus.........he is just so ridiculous.....
the house is going slower than I wanted, but we make a little progress every week.....
bills fell a little behind with being out of work for 4 1/2 weeks, but after christmas, we should be able to catch up....
turkey day was great, spent with family....
with christmas around the corner, scheduling is becoming a nightmare....but Momma will be up, so that will make things better, cause a Momma hug is all I need to put an instant smile on my face....two of our boys are going to florida for a few days christmas afternoon, but I get to spend more time with my own son because his father is going down south for a few days.....
trying to work full weeks is near to impossible, I'm still pretty sore after a full day's work, but I'll get there....
MD said still no heavy lifting or using exercise bike for another 40 days, and with the rough spots that had to be touched up, no nookie either for another week at least......yay me LOL NOT
basketball season is in high gear with first games this weekend, different leagues for the 8 year old and the 11 year old, so again, all day saturday is pretty much basketball day....and the 13 year old is still way into his guitar.....and will be on the golf team this coming year....the oldest is also going through rigorous pysch testing.....last year he tested at near genious level, and the only reason he didnt was because if he thought the question was ridiculous or stupid, or boring, he would skip it and not even bother........so if he actually applied himself to that test, god knows what his score would be.....but this creates problems at school, because if he thinks he already knows it, he finds something else to occupy his time......dichotomy of fueling the fire of genius and quelling the hormones that are raging for him right now.....its an interesting house LOLthe 8 and 11 year old are doing as well as can be expected.....pretty good grades, and sports geeks.....
weekends are usually spent working on the jeep, the land, getting stuff for the house, going back and forth between practices and games, and work, keeping the house in relative order, making sure the four cats and one dog and one fish are all accounted for and healthy......LOL.......
I miss you guys so much, and think of you every time 9ish rolls around, and I look at the computer, and I feel the pounding in my feet, a sit back, sigh, and promise myself to make some time for myself, and as soon as that hits, I hear a voice calling me to help them with something or something spilled or something is broken, or there's nothing to eat, LOL ........
but honestly, this is the life I always wanted......big, loving, fun, never boring, we spend a lot of time with J's family, speaking of, the entire Lewis clan is going to hawaii in march, all the adults anyway, my brother and sister in law live in maui so we're all going to visit them, that includes mother and father in law, two borther in laws, two sister in laws, going out to visit another set of brother and sister in law LOL Maui will never be the same.....
I've mellowed a bit.....getting cozy and dulled maybe by the "boring life"...but I tell you what, this is the family and situtation more or less....that I've wanted all my life....
so I am exceedingly thankful and greatful that I have friends to share that with, and can appreciate what I have, by knowing where I came FROM.
it took a lot of work, but I'm here, I'm in my prime, and ready to rock LOL
winter is here, so that means J going to bed early for plow jobs, so I'll try to make it in, it just still is really hectic, especially having thursday night closing shift, egawds to I hate that shift....but it keeps me away from having to work weekends, so I guess things are good.....
if I dont catch you sooner, to each and everyone of you, it is my wish....for my family here, as well as my rt family.....to have a joyous, love filled, time spent with family holiday season, because when it comes down to it, family is most important and they will make you feel at home no matter where you are.....
and look at those that are not doing so well around you, something as simple as offering a smile can change their day.......I see it happen every day at work, and it brings such a smile to my face....I do, I do try to change at least one person's day every day......and this season, I even got everyone at work to donate almost 500 dollars to this tech that works with us that I cant even explain everything she is going through, and I told them all I was so proud of them for pulling together for the girl in a may I emphasize tough situation.....
anyway, ramble time....I'll try to get in in between trying to get the year in review video done, and yes Rags, and woobie, I'll send you a copy, and a copy of last years, you wont know most of the people, but you;ll see what our lifestyle is like.....
by the way, please IM me your address again, I'm pretty sure I can find it out, just put it in there if I cant find that book I put it in ((to Rags and woobie))
so aye, things are good up north, a few snowballs from time to time, but everyone has them.....
I truly hope everyone can get into the spirit of christmas this year, and just give a little bit more of yourself than you usually do, you may just find that it comes right back to you.
my wish for you is that you have more than angels watching over you.
as I will continue to watch over you all, my tuchuk children, yeah me, the big ole bitchie mother hen LOL *MWHAH*
love you guys and will catch up with you soon
muchos muchos muchos bessos and hugs to you all
much love,
Karanisssssssssssssssss
