Wisdom Teeth


I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Thursday. It was weird because they didn't tell me to count backwards or anything. And my doctor didn't look like he was happy. So I was uncomfortable seeing him before he put me asleep. When I woke up, I didn't realize I had fallen asleep. Which is usually what happens when they don't tell you they are putting you to sleep. I usually get warned about this stuff. Today is Saturday and I am still soar. As long as I have my meds, I am okay.
Tara has been a big help through it all with the kids. She has been helping out plenty. I would do something in return for her right now, but I am a little soar in the face. And talking is not something I want to do all day.
All of our kids have the flu. Which is bazaar. Tara and I haven't had it yet. I took Tara and Fred to the hospital because the fever that Fred had didn't go down. But I told her it was just a change in climate. And the flu is in fact going around right now. Collin and Kim have both had it. Collin has got another fever again today.
Tara and I are trying to find ways to relax around the kids. There are just so many of them.
Its been a crazy couple of weeks with all these kids around the house, but all in all, its been good. Can't wait for the kids to start school. It will be nice. I will probably update more information when I feel a little better. My face hurts at the moment. Take care to you all.

Summer


Well we had a long few weeks while in Idaho. Had a reunion with Cassey's family. That was fun.
Then my mom, sister and my kids and I all drove to Kentucky to see my brother graduate from boot camp. It was hot and humid in Kentucky. The drive back wasn't fun but it was still good to see Chris graduate and come back home with us.

San Diego has not been so warm this summer. The news has reported that it hasn't been so gloomy and cloudy since 1916. We have sun pop out every few days but it really doesn't feel like summer. It almost feel's like its turning fall quicker than expected. But that is okay. The weather here in San Diego is always nice.
Kids are playing a lot outside and inside. I take them on walks as usual and take them to parks to play.
I really missed San Diego those few weeks I was gone seeing family. I will be sad to leave this place in December. I have grown attached to this place and it will be hard to let go.
Kimberly starts school in September. I have been looking into some classes for Collin, but he doesn't really need preschool. So I have been thinking of putting him through a tumblers class or something. I am still looking into it so its all up in the air.
I have been working on mom's blanket. It is taking forever to finish. I had to go buy some more supplies for the blanket so that I can finish it. It is almost done. I spent days and nights working on it in my room. I have been avoiding my husband, so he comes up to our room so that way can be together while I am working on the blanket. He is fine with it because he reads his nook all night. He really likes his nook (should have waited till the end of this year to give it to him).
I am also working on other projects to keep me busy.
I try to take some time off the projects so I can clean house and spend time with my kids. I mostly work on my projects when the kids are taking naps, and then I do the rest at night while they play with their daddy.
I have been spring cleaning my home, but it is going slow as usual. Doesn't ever feel like I got rid of anything because I still have so much. Problem is I live in a small home. If I had a bigger house I definitely wouldn't have a lot.
Well this is the scoop on us for now. Happy Summer.
