Just some thoughts...

1. My boys, Ben and Andrew, are playing together so sweetly right now in the next room. I love to hear their sweet little voices and happy giggles. I wonder how long it will last...hee hee!

2. I love my family! I have been having a lot of "I am so "IN LOVE" with my hunny" and "I love my job (being a mommy)" moments lately. Life is good.

3. Still worrying day-to-day about our dog, Crystal. I am just worried one day we will wake up and she won't. Or worse yet she won't be able to stand up or do anything and I will have to carry her to the vet. We may be saying goodbye to her this weekend, or next weekend. I still cannot decide.

4. I am getting anxious about my leg procedure this Friday. I have talked to three people who have had it done so far. All three say the first 24 hours are awfully painful, one said that after that she was fine, the other two said it was a much longer recovery. Please pray for me! I NEED to be recovered before our trip on May 20th!

5. Nathan and I are getting SO EXCITED for our trip to Europe! We are planning, planning, planning. It is going to be so fun! It will also be an "amazing race" style vacation because we are trying to see so much in a short amount of time. I can't wait!

6. I have a busy day today. I need to get some house work done. The weeding in the front yard finished. Hope to go for a run with Andrew in the stroller while Ben is at preschool. Make zucchini bread with the zucchini I thawed out last night. Pick up the kids after school. Take us all to the ENT so Ben and I can both see the doctor for our ears. Then take Nick and Tatiana to their tennis lessons. Then to the dollar store so Tatiana can buy sunglasses for a prop for her upcoming music program at school. And this evening Nick has scouts. Oh, and somewhere in there we will eat meals, change diapers, read books and cuddle, etc. etc. etc. I am trying to get all my heavy housework and yard work done before my leg procedure on Friday because then I am suppose to take it easy for two weeks and not do too much. I am also trying to get some running in this week since I will not be able to do that for two weeks or more either!

7. We had Ben's hearing checked. He has significant hearing loss in both ears. There is fluid built up back there that is not draining so he will probably need to have tubes. Just in time for summer swimming and worrying about ear plugs...yeah (can you hear the sarcasm?!?!)

8. I have been having a painful and plugged right ear for over two months now. Today is my follow up to see if the meds are working. NOPE! Still cannot hear out of my right ear. I may need tubes too. We'll see. I was also diagnosed with TMJ problems. My right side of my jaw pops loudly every time I open my mouth. ANNOYING! Nathan is making me a splint to wear at night. Hopefully that helps.

9. The boys are still playing but I have noticed that they have moved to the kitchen table. I just heard Ben in a firm, but still sweet, voice say "Stop, I said stop bothering me. When I say 'stop', I mean 'stop', k Andrew? Look at me. I said, 'k Andrew'?" Then I hear Andrew say, "uh" and Ben says, "ok, good then, you learn to listen, that's good Andrew. Now you play with this, k Andrew." Andrew in a happy voice says, "mine!" and the fire truck siren is now going non-stop. Good times!

10. Life is good, life is busy, just wanted to share some thoughts this morning. Have a good day everyone!
