Today

Today as I head off to Birmingham to take Molly to her doctor visit as usual I'm worried about how things are going to go there, I am worrying about the house, I just feel so stressed. I have decided I'm gonna listen to my favorite music while driving (think I'll be doing some singing along with Tim McGraw - so Molly take your ipod so you won't complain about my music - hehe), try to think happy thoughts and know that everything is gonna be alright. :)

Our House - Hopefully

Just something about old houses with big front porches.

Appraisal is tomorrow on this 1921 cutey, if all goes well this will be our very own front porch for rockin'.

Oh the fun we're gonna have decorating...but that's after lots of painting.

Ok, now that I've spilled the beans I'm gonna put a big ole "X" here so I won't jink anything. :)

Color

Well since the photo in my previous post was black and white you couldn't see the great color of the car, here she is. Don't you just love this color?

Isn't turquoise great!

Hello Out There

I really do feel so bad that I have been neglecting my poor blog like I have. Seems I just never have anything exciting to talk about that I feel will interest anyone.

We have been staying busy, the kids are back in school and something big is in the process of happening (but I don't wanna say too much because I don't want to jinx anything) and most exciting I have a grandson due in January.

Hopefully I'll do better with my blogging, if not I will try to pop in every once and a while just so everyone knows I'm still alive. About the photo above, it's just a car that belongs to a friend who lives near us, she's a very sweet elderly lady and I thought it'd be cute to take Molly's picture in front of the car. By the way, the car is for sale, immaculate condition and all original.

Have a great weekend everyone ...

Scare Of My Life

We are home from the hospital now. Molly was released on Saturday (19th). At that time she was still having a little bleeding from her nose due to her sinus surgery.
Well let me tell you, Sunday evening her nose started bleeding like you wouldn't believe, it was happening so fast it was draining down her throat, she threw up blood a couple of times! Seriously I have never been so scared in my life. I have never been in such a panic before, I wanted to just stop and scream but knew I couldn't. Steve carried Molly to the vehicle and we rushed her to our local hospital. There the bleeding finally got better and she was given two units of blood. To see your child so scared and to hear her crying "I don't want to die" was just horrible and something I will never forget. I just hope it's something we never have to experience again.
We got home Monday morning from the E.R. a little after 4am. Monday afternoon we took her to back to Birmingham so she could be checked out by a ENT Doc. They put a little more packing in and suctioned her nose out (which was all very painful for Molly).
Yesterday she had traces of blood still oozing but I can proudly say now I think the bleeding has stopped and hopefully for good. She is still sleeping right now but all looks clear. Praise the Lord!

Summer

Well, many people are off enjoying their summer break on vacations but I'm at the hospital with Molly right now. She came in yesterday, this was a scheduled stay so we were half way mentally prepared, still doesn't help the boredom at all though. Of all things this time we ended up in a tiny room, I mean really...it's super small. This isn't a good thing because we invested in an electric cooler to bring with us, my in laws bought us a small microwave not to mention all the other things Molly and I brought with us. We are on the list to move to a larger room, I just wish they'd hurry up!
Molly will be having sinus surgery next Wednesday. We are keeping our fingers crossed that there are no problems with that and that we'll be able to get out of here on the 19th.
We are still in the process of discussing our vacation, not sure where we're going but we're sure looking forward to that time.

Still Here

Not sure if anyone out in Blog land has missed me or not but I'm still here.
Spring has been a busy time and with all going on I just haven't taken the time to blog, I do get online often though to keep up with everyone else's blog.
Last week was the kid's spring break, we spent 9 days camping at the river. Had a blast!
