10 on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

1. We are enjoying this day relaxing for the moment.

2. In about 1/2 hour, we will be driving over to my Mom and Dad's house, join up with them and my older brother, Rob, and his wife, Cindy, and two of their kids, Kimberly and Paul, and car pool/caravan over to the Cracker Barrel in Boise for Thanksgiving Dinner !? My Mom wanted to try something different, instead of slaving in the kitchen all day!!

3. Bobby's sister, Deloria, and his niece, JoyAnna, will meet us there so we should have a party of 13 !! It should be good food and good fun!!

4. After, at our house, I think we may attempt to play games and/or make puzzles waiting for our food to settle, then later we will have dessert!!

5. Maybe we'll watch a football game!?

6. If we try, and find/make time, we might go over Bobby's brothers house and visit with Steve, Barb and kids this evening.

7. Anywho, Bobby had a job interview Wednesday morning, and should have another next week. So things are starting to happen and hopefully he'll be employed again real soon.

8. We are all doing well, except I have a pretty good cold and can barely speak. And I am fairly fanatical about washing my hands and using hand sanitizer so I am not sure why I was chosen for the virus anyway??

9. Can't believe how quickly Christmas will be upon us?? Haven't even really thought about shopping yet?? Kinda waiting to see if Bobby finds employment soon...

10. Hopefully I will post some pictures of this day on our blog, soon!

Love to all !!

1. I've Been keeping busy being tired. I think I am almost fully recovered from my surgery but I still get really tired some days.

2. I had a visit with my surgeon today, a follow up visit, and he said the lab concluded that my gall bladder had "chronic irritation", meaning the inner lining was swollen and irritated. From the gall stones I suppose. Glad I have it out!!

3. I have decided to re-read "New Moon" before the movie comes out on November 20th! I love it just as much, if not more than when I read it the first time!! I definately like the Werewolves more than the Vampires?!

4. Bobby is still un-employed but is getting help tweeking his resume. Once he has newly designed resume, he plans to hand deliver it to several companies in the area. He's very confident, which is good. I'm the one that is worrying...

5. Travis, Tyler and Sarah are all doing well.

6. Wish I could think of more to write!!?!?

Oh well .... till next time !!!

Recovery

Friday, October 23, 2009

My surgery went well, they say. I felt blindsided a little because they didn't tell me when they were putting me under and next thing I know, I'm waking up in the recovery room. Weird feeling. That stuff really works. I'm still sore but really bored. Anytime I try to do anything more than sit, I start to hurt. There is only so much TV, Internet, and reading I can do before going stir crazy. But I need to be grateful for good medical insurance and good doctors! Glad I could get this done now while we are still covered. The kids and Bobby have been helpful so far with keeping things picked up. My Mom & Dad brought dinner over Wednesday night. Thursday night dinner was brought over by ladies from church. Tonight we are having frozen pizza and leftovers from the previous two nights! Plenty of food for us all!! Hope to be on track soon! Love you all!!

10 for Tuesday

October 13, 2009

1. The trick to these blogs is finding the motivation to do it?!

2. Tyler's birthday was Monday, Oct. 5th?! He's 14 now, and still is a pleasure to the family with his impulsive antics and energy level?!? We took him and his friend, Joey, to a local Pizza buffet which he loves. Grandma and Grandpa McNutt came, also! We enjoyed the pizza and salad then came home for his birthday cinnamon rolls (he didn't want cake). Although no one was really hungry for them?! I think he enjoyed his day!!





3. Travis' birthday was Thursday, Oct. 8th! He's sweet 16 now!! (Yikes!) He continues to grow into a fine, funny young man!! He decided he wanted to go to a movie with his friend, Justice, then go out for dinner to Famous Dave's BBQ!? After, we had cake and ice cream! Grandma and Grandpa McNutt joined us for the cake!! He had a great day, too!!





4. The day before his birthday, Travis took the Driver's License written test. He passed!! But come to find out, the driving test needed to be scheduled seperately with a "Skills Tester". So he had to wait till this morning to take that part of the test. He passed it!! So Travis now has his driver's license!! I'm not sure what to think, but at least he can drive himself to guitar lessons and to scouts!!

5. Sarah is still playing soccer. Her last game is this coming Saturday. Yeah!! She's been on a good team, they have won every game!

6. Bobby is still selling his knives and swords every weekend.

7. He's still looking for a real job.

8. I am scheduled to have minor surgery on Oct. 21st. My gall bladder is going to be removed. I have gallstones but have only had one attack. My doctor and my parents recommend that I have it removed to prevent possible future problems. Not happy about it, but I'll get over it.

9. I've already purchased a ticket to see the movie "New Moon" which opens November 20th!!! I will be going to dinner and the movie with a large group of lady friends from church! It should be a lot of fun!!

10. That's all for now!! Miss everyone!!

1. I know, I know. It's been way too long since our last post...Sorry!!

2. We bought a new car August 7! A 2009 Ford Flex, cinnamon metallic!! We love it!!

3. In the new car, we went to California that second week in August (minus Bobby) and visited with my sister Margaret and her family (in Los Banos) and my sister Julie and her husband (in Hollister) and many friends!

4. Bobby was laid off August 26th. "God-smacked", we were. We are doing okay, though. They gave him a very nice severance package which should hold us up for several months.

5. It has been discovered that I have gallstones and will more than likely have my gall bladder removed before our insurance runs out. Gall bladder problems run in my family.

6. The kids are all back in school. Sarah, 6th grade. Tyler, 8th grade. Travis, 10th grade. All are doing well so far.

7. Travis has been home sick the past three days with fever, head pressure, dizziness and fatigue. We think it is a sinus infection. He's on anti biotics now.

8. Sarah is home from school with a fever, too. Not sure what is up with her?!

9. I'm considering going back to work myself.

10. Finally we are having cool fall weather!! Yeah!! So tired of the hot weather!?

11. Hope to keep this up to date more consistently! Thank you all for your concern?!

Day 7 - On the road again!

Friday, July 31, 2009

So tired we were, we decided to drive straight home instead of splitting the return trip up into two days. It went well because Travis and I traded off driving every two hours. It was a 12 hour trip but with breaks and stops, it took a few more hours. There is no place like home !!
