Our of the mouth of babes!!!!!

We were sitting at the dinner table lastnight and Mike starts talking about the KKK (obviously they are learning something in school.) and Alexis asked what they were. So I explained how they don't like anyone who is not white and they really don't like black people. she asked what they did to them and i said well they bullied them alot and burned crosses in their yard. And she goes did they ever kill them? I said sometimes yes they did. marisa with the most horrified look on her face turns around and goes " mommy am I black?" seriously I could not believe she asked me that I was laughing so hard. Then on the way to school today i pointed out a little black boy and said that is a black boy marisa and she goes "oh i just thought he had a good tan." LOL


I was taking lexi down to the ER a few weekends ago because she had a UTI. She thought she had started her period (and for a moment so did I) because of the blood. so on the way down I was explaining that your body has to get rid of the eggs each month blah blah blah. She goes " does that mean I'm pregnant?" to which i had to make myself not laugh and i said " no hunny you have to have sex to get pregnant." to which she answered ever so serious "oh mommy I am not doing that." I said " i know" then like a lightbulb went off in her head she goes "mommy (i won't name names) so and so have had sex cause she's pregnant. I go yes they have ...she goes mommy it's her third baby they've done that 3 times! seriously it's great what they come up with.

FINALLY!

We are getting carpet installed today. So Finally our house is done! Well at least half of it. The other half has to wait on funds to arrive to finish it.....which we're not sure when that is :)
I'll get picutres up soon....hopefully I have some before pictures because I didn't think to take them beforehand!

Awww Life!

So we had to fire the company putting our house back together. They haven't been here in forever. So we hired a new company and they are thinking 2-3 weeks and our house will be done! I can't wait. Now to pick out flooring and carpet! And a new pedstal sink for the kids'/guest bathroom.
Bob bought a new vehicle. An '04 Scion. He'll get it in like 2-3 weeks hopefully. For those of you that don't know. He got a Sunfire for free a few years ago and we had to replace the engine. Well he was driving home from work and the car starting tossing parts out on I-65! He was laughing about it because come on that's funny stuff. So we've been driving the truck and the van. And the truck eats gas like I eat snickers (when I have them)! Which neither is cheap or good....so it'll be nice to have a car. So i can drive the van again and the truck can be sold or parked!
4-H forms came home yesterday. Lexi is finally old enough to join in photography. She's so excited. So I emailed the lady to find out time and equipment requirements. I hope we have time for lexi enjoys taking pictures so much and I'd love to feed that!
School is going good for me. Anatomy kinda a HUGE time consumer but I'm learning SO much! It's so interesting the body is. As hard as the class is; I'm enjoying it!
Well that's about the updates for now....oh no wait I forgot the latest ER trip!
So we are goin to renss. monday for lexi's weekly allergy shot. The kids had been horrid all day long; seriously I didn't know they could disobey so much for so long. So I asked them if they could be good for 3 mintues while I run into walgreens. Mike was staying in the car and at 11yrs old I thought he's old enough to sit out here with them for 3-4 minutes. right?
I wasn't in walgreens 45 seconds and he comes running in " mom we have serious problem lexi needs to go to the ER. She shot herself". So I'm thinking what we don't have a gun in the truck what are you talkign about? I go "what" he says "with her pen mom clear through her finger i had to pull the needle out."
So I go out to the truck....she was playing with her EPIPEN and shot it through the bottom of her finger and it came out her nail. There was blood EVERYWHERE.....squirted on risa's face all over lexi's piano folder (she has piano lessons monday afternoons.) I was like oh great. So I take her to the ER not knowing if there was a problem or not. The only thing they worried about after checking vitals to make sure whe was fine; was that the med constricts blood vessels and if they didn't get the blood flowing again then she could lose the top of her finger. I was like you have got to be joking me.
So her finger is fine but she is still in alot of pain from it. I guess she won't do that again will she! ?

Update with Mike!

So everything is fine with the neurologist no siezures. We went to the cardiologist today and he definatly has an irregular heartbeat and they also found a mumur. But that's it. Nothing dangerous but at least we know now he has the mumur. Thanks for the prayers!

Prayer Request

As some of you may know we took Mike to the doctor a while back; he's been waking up with migraines for some time now and they are super bad. He can barely walk (his balance is way off); he can't stand lights or noise. Once he takes a shower he's a little better. So the doctor sent him for a CT scan and it came back normal. So she sent him to a neurologist. He in turn sent him for an EEG thursday! The doctors office called friday when I was at school and said to call them back before noon or first thing on monday; they needed to talk about mike! So of course I don't get home until 3:30 on friday and was freaking out because they NEVER call with results I ALWAYS have to call them. Well I got ahold of them today and they need him to see a cardiologist! He has what they call PVC (irregular heartbeat) but it's lasting 3-5 minutes. Which they said is way too long to last in a child. So in two weeks he goes to the children's heart hospital to see a cardiologist! Now of course noone upon noone is freaking out like I am!
I did however think that my dad and grandpa have heart problems (not sure what though); and since my father and I are not on speaking terms I called my sister to have her ask if this is what he has. At least them I'll know. Just pray that Mike is ok....and if God's will is something different that I can trust Him and deal with that (whatever "that" may be); because in all honesty right now I'm not ok with anything other than mike being ok! TIA!

life!

It's been awhile.
Nothing more has been done on the house. The mold company is coming tuesday to look at the crawl space and give us an estimate to get the mold cleaned out; put something down for moisture, dig and put in a pump......fun stuff so more money can fly out the window. Insurance isn't covering the crawl because it's not a product of the water damage in the house so we'll see how stressed I am come tuesday when we get this estimate.
I have not ran in two weeks (actually have not excersised at all) and wondered why I was so tired all the time. I ran lastnight thinking there is no way I'm going to run my 2.5 I could 2 weeks ago...I actually was going to be happy if I got half a mile in before dying:) I got in 1.5 miles. Then I had to quit because my side was hurting so terribly bad; I thought I was not going to be able to walk home. Anyone knows what causes this and how to prevent it? I was bummed because I could of gotten in at least 2 miles if not for that.
I have a root canal appt. this morning. Yeah more money out the window. I have had one before (I know that's really bad)! And they really are no worse than getting cavities filled. I have to have this one done because I had a filled cavitity in this tooth; and it blew out one night during movie night with the girls. I kept feeling chunks of "tooth" it was nasty. Oh well it'll be fixed and no more pain...i'm looking forward to that!
Marisa got her hair cut the other day....really short. Like Meg Ryans only Maria went a little scissor happy and cut it too short....it's hair it'll grow. Marisa on the other hand loves it.
I have my first quiz in Anatomy on friday! Wish me luck!

Goal Met! I have a new one!

Well my running goal was 2 miles by winter. I met that 2 weeks ago. It's still killing me to run it though; by the time I"m done I don't want to run anymore. So I have a new goal. 3 miles by winter!
Thanks ann for all your advice I appriciate it!
