A Short Story
Okay, I know everyone has just probably stopped checking my blog and I completely understand but my life is messy right now. My first problem is this dang dial up internet...it is just NOT worth my valuable time these days to sit here while the stupid page takes so long to pull up. I have enjoyed my blog so much and feel so bad about not posting and updating but all I can say is I am sorry! I bet I am the only one left on dial up in the world! lol
so, life has been twisting and turning for me and I am just not at home sitting in front of the computer much anymore. Plus, I have not turned my camera ON in since Christmas I think (which is SOOOO not me). Back in February I stopped keeping most of my kids and now I am bouncing around from one thing to another, I literally feel like a ping pong ball some days. I am juggling keeping kids two days a week, working at a local restaurant Mondays, some week days, and all weekend...and I am still struggling with my A&P II class this semester (which has been a real pain and more in-depth than A&P I). It seems some times all I do is function like a robot! Get up, Bentlee to school, shower, work, shower, school, eating alot from stress during all this...and maybe staying home with my family, laundry strung from the laundry room to the bedroom...dishwasher always full...its just a mess! So, to sit down and enjoy blogging would not qualify these days. I am looking for a fulltime job again so maybe, just maybe I will join the everyday blogging! I miss it terribly, I miss commenting and posting and reading and all that comes with it...as far as the rest of my life, well, I won;t get into all that. The girls are good, been struggling with colds, Dad is doing good (worried about his job like everyone else), Wade was laid off a few weeks ago, so its hard to find much good to post about anyway.
BUT, I will be there Friday night girls, I had to take off work but thats okay, I need a break anyway. See you there...
oh and I am going to get around to changing my background soon...no promises.

Header picture
My header picture is of the girls taken nearly 2 years ago! Rylee was not even a year old yet and Bentlee was almost 4. Bentlee hasn't changed one bit, got a bit taller, but Rylee does not look like the same child...she was so sweet (still is) with her fat face, spiked hair, and dimples!
Girls Nite Out
This past weekend I went out of town with 3 friends for a girls nite out. We left Saturday about 3, made our way to Hampton, checked into our hotel, went out to eat, did a bit of shopping, and went to a country/rock club. It was a nice time away from reality...I actually ate two meals in a restaurant without having to worry about anybody harassing me, LOL! We had loads of girl talk along with spells of laughter that nearly wet my pants...and it felt good! Sherri called me Princess Di the whole time, guess I was feeling out of my "box" or a bit selfish, oh WELL...never could think of a good nickname for her! Maybe on the next trip...
I recommend it to any mother with small kids, I can't say for mothers with older kids yet. It was just a nice time away to realize I am still my own person...without the goldfish smears from little mouths on my pants, or the "whats for supper?" thought or hearing "MOMMMMM" for the 500th time in a row! Don't get me wrong, I love my girls DEARLY, but every good mom needs a reality check!
I took my camera but did not even take it out...next time we may do a documentary for moms, lots of pictures of moms laughing hysterically...LOL!

Update on my Dad
Dad had his check up in Chapel Hill today...the doctor feels it would be to his advantage to start taking chemo for two years. WOW~ this means a round of Rotuxin every three months, not the whole series of chemo he received before. With this type of cancer not having a cure the doctor wants to do everything she can to prolong his life and well being. They discussed this during his last check up but he refused to do it. This time the doctor was more convincing and made him realize what MAY happen if they do not approach the future aggressively. And all I can say is my dad is a fighter and a winner...and we trust this doctor very much. I highly recommend Chapel Hill to anyone seeking oncologist and cancer treatments.
He will have a PET scan and a bone marrow test coming up soon. Please continue to pray for him and our family...we need every good day we can get. There is talk of possible stem cell transplant and other scary things.
