OOOHH You BADDD BLOGGER!!!

I can't believe that it's been a whole THREE MONTHS since I posted on here! Y'all, I humbly beg your forgiveness, and have absolutely no excuse. There has been plenty of Busy happening around the homestead though so I'll take it a month at a time...

May
If you've known me or have been reading the blog in the last year then you know a bit about the stubbornness that is Mama. She's had some health issues that she and I haven't exactly seen eye to eye on. Good news, is that after another light stroke she FINALLY decided to have the surgery to open the blood flow in her Right Carotid Artery. I'm quite happy to report that she's doing Very Well with her recovery thus far! She's still complaining about the "whooshing noise" she's hearing on that side... "Mama, blood is actually Moving in that side of your neck now. Let the thing whoosh all it wants!" Y'all, I saw her Carotid Ultrasound when they did it. The plaque looked like a bird's head in there and was whistling Dixie. Blood flow to the brain is a Good Thing! :o) Of course, the surgeon wants to do the left side now, and so here we go again with the stubbornness of not wanting surgery again. I'm trying way hard to be happy with what she Will do and not sweat the stubbornness. Y'all pray.

June
My Brother's youngest daughter graduated (with Honors Yay!) from High School up in Indiana and so Hubby and I headed up for the big Open House shindig. Y'all, this gal's going places! I'm so stinkin PROUD of her! Ever since she's been knee high to a grasshopper she's said that she wanted to be a Doctor and that when she had her own office, I was gonna be her office nurse. LOL! Danged if she's changed her mind either. She heads off to Purdue University in 16 short days for college and to be a member of the Purduettes. It was really nice to spend a few days with my "Yankee Family" and the weather was FABULOUS! Hubby and I took one day to ourselves and headed off to shop in Michigan City and to visit a couple of Wineries (1)(2) in Union Pier, MI. I also "found" two new brothers in my Sis-in-law's two brothers. It was definitely fun to meet and spend time with SIL's extended family. I've got Ton's of pics... I'll post some when I get the chance.

July
This month has actually been fairly normal. Busy, but normal. LOL! Work has been really busy now that Baby Season is in full swing. I've had a new nurse with me for the past few weeks to learn the ropes of L&D, and so I've been in teaching mode. She'll be with me for a few more weeks and then it'll be time for my "Baby Bird" to fly on her own. I SO remember those days! scared to death knowing that I didn't only have one life in my hands, but TWO! Teaching gives me time to reflect on those times and gives me a renewed energy for the job I love. It's truly a wonderful thing to get to do something I love and get paid for it!

So that my dear Blogging friends is what I've been up to since seeing the Nuns at Lowe's. I'll soon have some new pics up for your browsing pleasure and lots of exciting news with my Stampin' Up! business as well! So, I guess you can say......

SHEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

You can check your Live Traffic Feed that I visit almost everyday to see Nuns in Lowes. It was exciting to see them but not for 3 months. So glad you are back.
I missed you,

Hey Chick! I am not as persistent as Jerri. After two months of Nuns at Lowes, I gave up. HAH!

Glad that the stubborness that is Mama is doing better. I hope that she has the surgery on the other side. We need our moms.


Did you ever read the "Where are they now?" type post that I did about you? It is toward the beginning of July I think. Could be May, but I think it is July. Let me know if you saw it or not and I'll try to get you a link!

Be blessed.
