and another thing....

The past week has been a busy week for us. Yesterday My hubby had surgery on his neck to remove a lump that had been there for at least 5 years. It ended up being benign mixed tumor and it was good that it was removed. He is doing ok its just hard to swallow right now but he will get better.

Work this past week for me was good. Business is down somewhat but as long as i work hard i will be able to keep my hours and OH yeah! I got another raise...YEAH! for me!! It was only 20 cents but every little bit helps.

kids...they are so funny!

I always look forward to the weekends i have my children ages 13, 12, and 10.. My 12 year old had a football game today(17th). We had to be there 2 hours before his game started but it was cool. We got to sit and watch the 5th graders play first. They won their game 7-0. Then at 4 my son played his game. They won also. He liked the fact that they won but he was upset that he only got to be in the game for 3 plays. I think they should play him more but I am his mother. But he also has the a lot of heart to play the game. He loves it. And I'm pretty sure that the reason they don't play him more is because of his size. He is on the small size for his age and he gets it honest. His father is only 5'7 and I'm 5'5. Also, most of the people on my side of the family are small stature. I'm hoping that he will gain some size in the next couple of years. He does have an uncle that is 6'3 so it could happen we will just have to wait and see.....

Long time, no blog...

I guess recently i haven't had much too say or write about. Work is just work, nothing really exciting happening there.

Last friday we did drive to Circleville Ohio to get a new fuel pump assembly for the car. It was enjoyable because we able to spend almost all day not being around Charlie(my bio. dad). It was nice to be able to get out and just drive like we used to do. Just go for a drive see where it takes us. Well, hubby put that new part in the car and it ran ok for a little while until he checked and realized one of the fuel injectors wasn't sealing right and spraying gas everywhere. So now where are going to have to replace those. New, they are almost 60 bucks a piece so we are going to try the used ones at 16 bucks a piece first and see if they will work. But we can't get those until weekend after next. So I called my Dad Steve(adoptive one) if we could borrow his little Ford Festiva for a week or two. He said we could.

My sister Charlene has been coming over everyday for the past week and a half to do laundry and bathe. Their main water line from the street to the house broke so they haven't had any water. Which I know sucks because Rob and I have lived places where we didn't have water so we had to haul it up from the water spicket up 3 flights of stairs. Not a fun thing to do.

I still haven't had any luck finding my sister Julie. I did find out that supposedly my niece has her number but I haven't been able to get it from her yet because its on her cell phone and she lost the charger thingy cord to it and i guess she hasn't been able to get another one. So I shall wait and see what happens there I guess.
