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!

House Update

So they started tearing my house part July 17th....they are finally coming in (mold company) to get this going again on Thursday! WE have to move out for a few days while they are tearing it apart (oh joy!) So thankfully we have somewhere to go and not a hotel (not fun with 4 kids and school I'm sure!) Please pray they get this done right and as fast as they can(doing it right of course!) Mine and Alexis' allergies can not take the exposed mold much longer.
That's about as big as an update as I can get right now!
Michael starts 6th grade tommorrow....he's now in the jr/sr. high school. He's so scared. But I'm sure he'll do fine.
Alexis is in 3rd grade now at Wolcott school. We went tonight to her open house and met her teacher (mike had her so we knew her)! She is really excited to have a locker finally! Because apparently school is only fun once you have a locker!
Marisa is going to kindergarten this year. She's not thrilled about this idea at all. Well sort of but not being away from her mommy (bob didn't get the cord cut all the way I'm sure of it.)
So you could pray for a good first day of school tommorrow for all of them and that kaiden (also still attached by the cord) could have a good day just the two of us at home!

~~~~~~RUNNING~~~~~~

So some of you may know; many of you not; that I have takin to running. I hate can I repeat; I hate running on the treadmill. So when my friend Amanda was telling me how much she loves running all the time I thought well I could try it outside and if it's bad I'll stop. So we take this girls trip (3 of us) to Indy for an overnight then a day of shopping! And on the way home we all decided we'd run together (which still has not happenedl but we do all run!) So the first day I ran Gina ran with me. I was dreading it; I was sure I'd hate it and it would kill my knees just like on the treadmill. Was I wrong or what! I LOVE running outside. Even though I don't run far (I did just start a week ago) I run 3/4 of a mile (and had to work up to that.) But I look forward to the time me and my friends or MP3 player get to go running. It's so relaxing (what an oxymoron huh?) But I love it.
I went running tonight and that's what started my post; it was so relaxing (even though it's like 92 degrees outside.) I didn't run as far as lasttime but still 3/4 of a mile (last time I was one telephone pole away from a mile this time like I got just to 3/4 of a mile.) I'm hoping to get in running 2 miles by winter. That's my goal!

So if you run how often and how far do you run? What do you do to make your run enjoyable (ex: mp3 player, listen to nature, run with friends?) Do you change your route or stay the same so you know how far you've ran?
TIA!
