All Done!

Well...last Thursday I had surgery. They took the one thing on my body that meant the most. And I'm still here. And I'm O.k. (Although the one requirement for my doctor was that I'd come home) The surgery went well and I went home on Sat. Today is Monday and I'm hating to stay in bed. I think that my kids hate it too. I KNOW my husband hates it. And can we say HORMONAL? Yes, I am one great, big hormone! Thank heaven my sister told me that it evens out again or I'd think I was in serious trouble.(Well, my family would be in serious trouble) It was kind of cool to go in, go to sleep and wake with everything done. But I didn't like waking in complete pain. And not a big fan of morphine. Lortab is o.k., but morphine made me really dizzy and sick to my stomach. And I only had a couple of little pangs when I was the only one with no baby to take home after the surgery.
Kelvin is going to go to Illinois for Wade's bootcamp graduation on Thurs. Nope, not a clue what I'm gonna do. Pretty much flying by the seat of my pants on that one. He'll be gone for about 4 days. Becky, my sister is going to be helping to take kids and pick kids up from different places. My house will probably be a wreck which makes me a LOT hormonal. Gotta be o.k. with it. I hope that this won't change me in a bad way. I love to have fun and I don't want to lose that part of me.
Well, I'll talk when I'm a little better and lot more in a better mood! (My poor family...)

Has it been a month?!!!!

Wow! I know I haven't posted in a while, but I can't believe that it's been a month! I've been wanting to post for a while but I really think I'm boring everyone because I don't have cute pictures up on my blog! I can't remember how to do it and Wade is still in Bootcamp! Waaaaaaaa! Woe is me! Anyone gonna take pity on me and tell in a step by step on how to do it. Remember people, they say that every time you have a baby, you lose 10 percent of your brain cells! I have no idea how I'm even here and half way coherent! I've lost 100 percent of my brain cells!(Sometimes I feel it!)
So....want to know what I've been up to? Hmmm....it's summertime and I have 9 kids here. Not much time to post. I keep logging in to post but then I remember that I don't have pictures and I leave cuz there's nothing absolutely wonderful to post. I haven't done anything interesting at all.
Although next week I'm going in for that pesky hysterectomy. Yuck! I am so scared! I'm not really worried for myself. I'm worried that if something happens then my kids won't have their Mommy. I wouldn't want that for them. I want them to have me here for them. (Oh! And I'm a little worried about my bladder. We're attached, we get together every day, several times a day. I would hate to be separated.) So, unfortunately, I have to get the kind of hysterectomy that is like having a ceasarian. Yeah, my uterus is stuck to my scar tissue from my c-sections. Maaaaaaaan! Can you believe that?! That totally bites!!! I have to stay in the hospital for 3 days and there's no baby to distract me.(Anyone have one they want to give away. Since I won't be able to have any more of my own, I sure would love to help out and take one of yours if you don't mind. I need to have a newborn. They always get the Mommy urges going)
I've also started with a fairly new company called Heritage Makers. For all those who are wondering, it's a company that creates storybooks online. You import your photos into your own account with them and then you can use them along with some journaling to create your own storybook and publish it. It comes to you hardbound. I love them. And if you really like to create you can use their premium account and get over 30,000 embellishments to use on them. If you'd like to check it out a little bit you can go to my website and do so. www.heritagemakers.com/310654.
I really need to start sewing some more. I haven't finished my favorite quilt from Camille. Oh and I need to thank Janiel for the blog swap! She sent me a gift card for $5.00 to Bath and Body and a $10.00 gift card for Cold Stone. I've only been to Cold Stone once, but it's Summer and anything cold would be great at this point! And Bath and Body? Puh-lease, that one's a no-brainer! Who doesn't love Bath and Body?! (If you don't like it, you probably shouldn't tell me because I'd have to rethink our friendship. Absolutely un-American. Sheesh...)
Well...that all for now. It's about 1:15 a.m. and I'm tired. P.S. for those of you who missed me, thank you. You made me feel important! I love it!!! I'm loved! LOL
