What A Week.......

What a week it has been!!!! I ended up with over a week off - not a fun week off. Since the biopsy I have been battling a few complications and it was decided on that on Wed. the surgeon would take care of. it Now, I have been in recovery and hoping this will be the end of it until my next mammogram and I can start feeling like myself - not soooo freakin tired all the time!!! Thanks to all my friends who helped or offered to help during the week, YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!!!
With that said, it was the usual weekend of football, football and more football!!!! The Buckeyes finally look like they are starting to jell and have had 2 nice wins since the horrible loss to USC. Our NWFL Raiders are awesome and are now 5-0.....
Then there is the Stinky Steelers!!!! They have a knack for looking good for 3 quarters and then deciding they do not want to play anymore especially on defense!!!!! I think the defense lost their identity- Troy!!!! It is not helping the Jeff Reed has forgotten how to kick field goals and our wider receivers ( Santonio, Limas and Hines) seem to have an issue with dropping passes!!!! It is starting to look like it will be looooong NFL season if this keeps up!
Last, the girls are enjoying their new kitty and overall Ginger has adapted well. She has been really good especially since Ash is obsessed with her and has not figured to just let her down and that cats do not like to be handled 24/7!!!
Until next time, hope everyone is has a good week or weeks!!

Fall and Football

Friday started out CRAZY, I had stayed home since I am still not feeling well which ended up being a good thing. Ashlee was going home with a friend after school so she could attend her birthday party. I remembered putting the permission slip in her book bag but forgot to give her the present. If you know Ashlee she would be devastated when she found out that she did not have one with her. So, I ran to school and dropped it off to prevent any drama. Allysa and went to dinner at the Winking Lizard after my doctors appointment to get a physical.
Saturday- the girls and I with some friends watched the Buckeyes and were very happy with this win but it would have been sweeter had we beat USC the week before!!! Since the boys were at a bar watching football. So, the big girls decided to rent a movie and let the kids play. The boys then went to Jame's to watch more- Thanks Beth for getting Kevin and Keith home safely!
Sunday- was a lazy day. I was not having one of my better days! We went to the girls game and the Raiders are now 4-0!!! Way to Go Raiders!!!!! However, the Steelers decided not to show up , we really need Troy back for the defense and I am not sure what was up with Jeff Reed. The evening ended on a downer!!
Now for the kitty, Ginger is doing wonderfully but at times overwhelmed with attention. Ashlee being the worst, she is obsessed!!! I am trying to teach her that the kitty sometimes just wants left alone. This has been our ongoing battle!!! However, we did go into PANIC mode when we could not find her after the Steeler game. Ginger, had been tortured by the girls so I made them come up here for awhile and Sam joined us for a while to. After the game, we could not find her... We LOOKED, LOOKED and LOOKED and NO Ginger. So I thought maybe she slipped out the door when Keith and Sam left and that is when PANIC really set in!!!! After what seemed like FOREVER, Ashlee decided she knew where she was and she was right!!! Ginger, found herself a safe out of the way (no kids) place, behind the steps in the storage room. She slipped in through a small space between some storage box, found her way to the back and curled up and went to sleep!!
This week will be unusual too, since my biopsy site has not really healed as far as the blood clot on Wed. I am going to have surgery to have it drained, she will look for any active infection and make sure the area in question is removed! I am not looking forward to it but tired I feeling sooo crappy most of the time. Hopefully, this will end the madness!!!

Another Football Weekend!

You know it is fall because most posts will be football, football, football!!!! The week started out with the STEELERS pulling it out!!! I am hoping it is not the sign of the season. However, on Sat. the girls had a game at 9pm,not good for us Buckeye fans but a nice night for a night game! So, I compromised and the girls cheered until halftime. All was looking well for the Raiders and the Bucks were not lookin bad!!!! As many know the Bucks lost it the end, another heartbreaker which is getting old!!!!! Of course, the girls were not heart broken Nana and Pap were here and they got their first pet- Meet Ginger!

The Official End of Sumer and Football, Football and more Football!

After Thurs. I really did not think it was going to be a great week! I saw the new surgeon and even with the biopsy she still is not 100% convinced so now more testing, however those cannot be done until my infection and large blood clot are gone!!!!!!!!!!! This experience has been very trying! That same day we got a large bill for one of Ashlee's infusions and I came home to fight it out with the insurance company- the idiots are denying a March bill because they want medical records but they paid for Feb and are paying for her home treatment. The kicker is the have the medical records because we had to submit for her home treatment but they will not pull those since it is attached to another providers claim- UGH!!! The last thing, my phone began cracking and is not covered by warranty!!!
Needless to say I was not optimistic about going into the Friday and the weekend! However, my 7 am meeting Friday went well. My bosses boss was very pleased which means my boss will be happy too so then my life will be much easier (at least for awhile).
The weekend has been AMAZING, Sat. the girls had a game at 9 am which was rough but next week is worse since it is interfering with the Bucks. Then we headed to the James for the Buckeye game and just plain fun! Yesterday, the gang was all here and I think everyone had fun. We hit a little bump with Sam or jumped of the slide and hurt his leg, it seemed to get better over time so hopefully this am he will be back to normal. When we are altogether, I am reminded how blessed I am to have such a strong group of friends especially since we have no immediate family here!
I had a very busy Saturday, I got a new phone. The lady at Sam's Club was very honest and sold me a new one much cheaper than she had tooo.. We added another line ( which we would be doing in the next 9 mo to a year) and I got the new phone, even with the extra fees monthly it was still cheaper. Of course Allysa thinks she is getting a phone but that is big NOT YET, however there times when she has been somewhere we wanted her to have one! Now, in those rare cases, we can put the sim card for the 3rd line in one our older phones and give her that instead of ours. Then went off to HH Greg for one thing and left with a new camera. I have been pricing two for months and after seeing this one decided to go for it plus I got a really GREAT deal! It was a big decision because I am choose a brand I do not know well so there is learning curve but so far I LOVE the pictures it has taken!!!
Next, on our list we are considering a cat! The girls have been driving me crazy wanting a pet and a dog just would not go with our chaotic life style but maybe a cat!!!! Who knows may be we will have an addition to our home!
Enjoy below!!!
