Happy New Year!!

Wow! Another year has gone by! I hope everyone has a prosperous and healthy 2009!

When it Rains it Pours~~

Wow! When it rains it pours! As you know, my son had an appendectomy on Nov. 6th. He was home for a week and was still having pain and was uncomfortable. On November 19th, he started running a high fever and not feeling well at all. His Dad took him to the ER where they did a CT Scan and found an absess. He had to have a drain tube put in Thursday morning to drain all the infection out. He had a really rough time with this, poor guy. He has really been through alot in November. After his procedure, while in the recovery room, he spiked a temp of 106 and they worked for about 1 hour to get his temp down. They almost kept him in ICU overnight but was able to get his temp down and stablized. He was given 3 strong antibiotics by IV plus Morphine for pain for a whole week. He was released on Thanksgiving morning! Thank God! That evening he came to my sister's house for Thanksgiving Dinner and his Birthday Party! He turned 14 years old the next day at 6:56pm. WOW! What a Birthday, huh! He is doing really good now and is back in school; and I am back to work and the normal busy life. LOL Run, Run, Run!!! LOL

Oh, and YES, I did do the Black Friday Shopping thing--lol--with my sister! I stayed with her on Thanksgiving night and we got up at 3:00am and to the stores by 3:50am. What a mess! lol I don't know why we subject ourselves to these things! Bargins? Well, I didn't find too many. By the time I got to where I wanted, they were sold out. Figures! LOL Think I would have done better online or just waiting and paying a few more dollars. However, my sister and I did have some "bonding time". :) Love ya sister!

The Holidays are Here Again

Another year has almost come to an end. Wow, how time does fly. So much has happened this year; both good and bad. I haven't posted in quite a while. Sorry! Time slips by so quickly when you are busy. It seems as though there is never enough time in a day to get everything done.

My son, Joshua just had an appendectomy on November 6th. I was with him from Nov. 5th through Nov. 9th. He is such an amazing young man. His birthday is next week--November 28th! He will be 14 years old! WOW!! I can't hardly believe it! He has grown up so much and is so mature. I am very proud of him.

We will be going to my sister's house for Thanksgiving Dinner / Birthday Parties. My youngest sister's birthday is on Thanksgiving Day this year and my son the day after. So, alot to celebrate and be thankful for!! :)

Well, I haven't decided if I am going to fight the crowds on Black Friday or not! I love to shop, especially for bargins, but sometimes that day is just too much! LOL My husband and son are going to the WVU - PITT Football Game at Hines Field that day for Joshua's Birthday! He, well they both, are so excited! WVU FANS OF COURSE!! GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

Well, hopefully, I can get back to posting regularly again! Keep checking back! Don't give up on me yet! LOL

Have a Great Holiday with your Family and Friends!!

My son, Joshua

I know I haven't posted anything for a while. I have been working alot more lately plus getting new items ready for shows. I just received a full-time position at my job and I will be closer to home now. I am really excited about this opportunity. I also will be having carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand Tues., July 8th; so, I won't be posting much in July. I hope you all have a fun and safe Independence Day! We always go to my Dad's house in WV and have a big cookout and play games and then set off fireworks that night! We have loads of fun!! I can't wait!

Happy 4th!!
