I know it's been months since my last post. I do apologize, but have been so crazy busy I just can't seem to take the time to sit down and type. It's too much of an effort!
Let's see where to begin... the boys had a FUN birthday weekend. Swimming party, Cole had a lot of school friends show up and he really enjoyed himself, Brody went off the diving board! They both really enjoyed it. The next day Cole took a few friends along to Bonkers and we made a day of it. They had a ball! Hot sweaty stinky kids is what we ended up with at the end of the day!
September was a wild month as well. I have done a lot of canning and gardening and just seem to take up so much time. I have been tending to the yard and house and trying to fill in and help Bill wherever I can as well.
I have been having some right sided pain and it continues to come and go. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Oct 16th to rule out surgical adhesion's and see what he has to say about it all. I also have been having some major female issues and because my labs came back with my blood counts so low, my Dr was worried so he's got me set up to have a D&C done on Oct 19th. He assured me it will be much less traumatic than the D&E I had done with the baby we lost. I was Five months pregnant back then, and it was such a traumatic event. My hormones crashed, I was a hot mess for quite a few weeks, along with the guilt and pain of losing a baby, I had some major cramping and pain from the procedure, but this time I was assured I would NOT have that kind of problems. He said I will take a 30 minute snooze, and wake up with a fresh uterus. I can only pray and hope this helps with my problems. It's looking like next week is shaping up to be a crazy busy week around here and this week I plan on keeping things caught up at home to deal with it all.
I have left the Undercover Wear company and joined Pure Romance. I really really LOVE this company! I love all the products and LOVE the women I work with. I think it's a positive change in my life. I have quite a few parties booked and am very pleased with my success so far. I have done my first two parties over the weekend and sold over $2100 in retail. That's awesome! I have another party booked for the 20th and Dr. Jones assured me I would feel just fine and be able to do that party the day after my surgery. I just can't lift anything heavy, which is no problem at all for me. I can get my awesome hostess to do the lifting for me. I only have two things I carry in with me!
Brody is LOVING school. He comes home full of stories some days. It wears him out and he is really learning a LOT. He knows his alphabet now, he can count to 12 without missing a beat and he knows all his shapes and colors and they are starting letter recognition and last week was "S" for Sammy Seal and he is pointing out S's everywhere now! I LOVE it! Makes me proud and happy we decided to go ahead and send him to school!
Cole has been having some trouble with fluency in reading. That seems to be his only problem at this point. They have a title 1 teacher working with him reading 60 minutes a week, and then I make him read to me 15 minutes a day here at home. He is getting better and better with it all. We let him pick out books from the book order and he's been reading through all of those and loves them.
Bill has been busy in the fields. We honestly don't see much of him. It gets kinda lonely at times. We do try to make family time a priority and squeeze in every second that we can with him. Even if he is dragging us along on one crazy adventure job after another. Brody got his very first combine ride last week and was AMAZED and so happy! He's also rode along with Bill in the tractor and big dump trucks and LOVES going with him to do that. It really melts my heart that he's spending some time with his daddy, even if it is only for a few minutes here and there. He needs it.
School takes up a lot of time. It's crazy how nuts our evenings get around here preparing for the next day. Thank goodness they aren't in sports or things. I just don't know how those mothers do it. I am NOT ready for that busy life.
Well, Bill called for his lunch so I am off to the field to deliver. I promise to update soon. If I get a second!
