10 on Friday

1.  Bobby is still waiting for his 3rd interview with Harris Moran.  The Plant Manager is still on vacation so we are still waiting .....

2.  Monday, our cat, Ginger accidentally scratched Bobby really close to his left eye.

3.  Tuesday his eye began to swell.

4.  Wednesday his eye continued to swell and started to hurt.  He is known to get Sty's in this eye so he figured a Sty was coming on.  But it was starting to really bother him so ...

5.  Thursday, I had him tag along with me and Tyler to an appointment Tyler had with an Ophthalmologist.  We managed to have him seen after Tyler's inspection ... and .... (drum roll) ... turns out Bobby has Cat Scratch Fever ?!  No kidding !!  And I thought Cat Scratch Fever was an urban legend?!  According to Wikipedia, it is properly called Cat Scratch Disease.

6.  So ... he is now on three different prescriptions to knock it out of his system ?!

7.  Spent the whole day yesterday with that stupid "Cat Scratch Fever" song stuck in my head !?

8.  Any who ,  the Ophthalmologist didn't like the way Tyler's "freckle" looks on his left lower eyelash line so he will remove it February 2nd.  It's not your normal freckle, apparently.

9.  Also on Thursday, our cat, Buster, was discovered to have a swollen left eye (what is it with the left eye in this family??) so we took him into the Vet that evening and he is now also on a anti-biotic gel for his eye.  He was scratched by some cat above both eyes and the left so far is the only one infected.

10.  Strange how Bobby, Tyler and Buster all had/have issues with their left eye in one day???  Good thing I'm not superstitious??

11.  The rest of us are fine !!  (knock on wood)

Last 10 for 2009

1.  We are hoping everyone has had a wonderful Christmas !!  We had a very nice one, too!

2.  We enjoyed ours very much !!  It's always fun to have family around to eat too much and play games !!
My sister Julie had come to visit my folks with her husband, Allan, so I got to see them too!  And her daughter, my niece, Terri and her husband Dave and son Nathan, had also come to visit Grandma and Grandpa McNutt, so it was great to see them, too!!

3.  A few days before Christmas, we met Bobby's brother Steve and wife, Barb, and their kids, at Chuck-A-Rama for a wonderful dinner together!! Sister Deloria and niece JoyAnna also came!!

4.  Yes, we have all eaten too much food.  It's a good reminder about how blessed we really are !!

5.  This morning we woke up to about 5 inches of new snow!!  So fluffy!!  We love it!!

6.  Bobby is planning to have a third job interview with Harris Moran next week.  Still looks promising!!  He also has another job interview with a different company, too.  So hopefully very soon he'll be back into full time employment !!

7.  I look forward to the kids going back to school next Monday.

8.  We saw the movie "Avatar" and liked it very much!!  I liked it more than I expected I would.  I didn't even notice it was 2 hours and 40 minutes long!!

9.  Looking forward to the New Year and all the good things that it will bring!!

10.  Wishing all our friends and family an awesome New Year !!

10 on Thursday

1.  It's been crazy busy around here !!

2.  Tonight Sarah has a choir concert at school!  That should be fun?!

3.  Bobby had a second job interview with Harris Moran Seeds today.  They want him to come back next week for a third interview!?!?  Why must they drag this out for so long ?!?  We feel confident about this job, but the waiting is torture !!

4.  Saw the movie "The Blind Side" that Saturday after Thanksgiving!  Very much enjoyed it, and recommend it!  Travis liked it, too, and said it made him want to play football again !?  So last Monday, he signed up for the football season next year!!

5.  Tyler has been spending a lot of time out in the snow!!

6.  It's been extremely cold recently.  It was 4 degrees this morning when I was driving the kids to school!?

7.  Trying to get Christmas ready.  Just a few more packages to mail.

8.  Can't decide about whether to do Christmas cards or not?!

9.  We got the tree up Tuesday evening.  Still a work in progress!!

10.  Time for Hot Chocolate !!!!

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 !!

6 on Tuesday

November 10, 2009

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 !!!
