Our Summer!

So far so good this summer! We have managed to make it to the pool at least 2-3 days a week after Kids Kamp, and the kids are loving it! The girls are in VBS this week, which Bailey told me she would not go under any circumstances. So Sunday night I convinced her that if she would just try it on Monday and if she did not like it she did not have to go back the rest of the week. Let's just say that she jumps out of bed, loves it, and bought the CD of music from the goodies table today.

Kamp is going great, our kids (Cheryl & I) are really liking it more than they thought they would. Every morning they want to know how long till it starts. Danny is loving seeing his soccer buddies that come, plus they are all making new friends that they did not know prior. I am really glad that they like it so much cause if they didn't, it would be a really long summer!!

We are taking a week off from Kamp this upcoming week which will be really cool.

Stay safe and cool !!! Hope your summer is as fun as ours!!

So I thought I would keep up since school was over!

WOW what a great start to a fun summer!!!! The kids got out June 2nd and on the 3rd we spent the morning preparing for Kamp. That afternoon we went to visit Dr. Hanson (Our Favorite ENT) Cause my new pulmonologist wanted me too. Well let me also back up to say, on Saturday morning we woke up to Danny complaining for the 4th day in a row that his stomach was hurting him, so off to the Dr. office we go- YEAH it strep. So that kills that day for us (Dan was out of town with his pals on a golf trip). So while we are getting a strep test on Saturday the Dr notices some kind of foreign object in Danny's left ear, pink and yellow in color. So I explain I am already going to see Dr. Hanson on Tuesday, maybe he can squeeze Danny in also. Yup, so we go, yeah Danny has 2 pieces of colored rice in his ear!!! (I had a rice bucket in my preschool classroom for the kids to play in that I brought home) Way to go son!!!!

So anyway, Dr H sends me to get a CT scan of my sinuses (we are trying to figure out why I have been sick every 4-6 weeks for the last 11 months). And the result would be that I have chronic sinusitis. Yes that is a huge infection in my cheek sinus which will not clear up with even all the antibiotic I have been on, result.............. they are going to due surgery and drain that sinus cavity......................Yeah, my 3rd surgery in 13 months.............. I believe that I should know the nurses by now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So anyway back to the fun stuff. I took the kids to the Zoo with a friend on Friday before we started Kamp and the kids had a blast!!! Danny was obsessed with having his picture taken with the animals butts.

So we started our Kamp last Monday, when it was over on Tuesday we headed to the pool in St. Charles (oh the kids had so much fun) we stayed there till about 6ish, and turned around and did it again on Wednesday except we went to Norwood on Wednesday and Dan met us there after he got off work. Then on Friday, the day Danny had been waiting for.......... to the movies to see Hulk. WOW was that good, but make sure you go see Iron man first if you have not seen it!!! What a fun first week. Can't wait to see what this week brings!!!

it's been 46 day since my last confession........

Okay if you are Catholic you think that is funny (or not).
So lets see what has happened since then, our Anniversary big 8 years.
Spent the weekend in KC just hanging out with each other. I know it sounds crazy but I feel like we reconected and that we really needed that!
After we got home the following weekend I had an outpatient surgery which went fine, but had some blood pressure problems in recovery! Yeah, I know it could not just be cut and dry, I had to add some drama to it!!
The following weekend by Great Nephew, Jeffrey Thomas was born. What a doll baby!

We had graduation for Emily, and her and I last day of school (yeah baby), then Bailey's achevement party.

Oh yeah we also had Bailey's program which was very cute. Danny's program which was a tear jerker and Emily's steller performance in her 2 programs, one was the spring program for school and one was the graduation performance which was histericle. I will up date later this week with the pictures and videos from the shows.

Trade in time!

So Dan tells me to day that it is time for a trade in.................. he does not mean his car, he does not mean my car.......................... ME, he wants to trade me in.
Last Tuesday I start with my cough and sinus gunk but this time I am going to try and tuff it out. Yeah that got me all the way to this Tuesday with a trip to Urgent Care, 10 day of steroids and Antibiotics and the best part a cough so hard that I bulged out my disk in my lower back. Oh yeah and a referral to see a pulmonologist. So now I am starting to question?????? Everyone keeps telling me that the 1st year in child care you get sick a lot. So my question is, Have I paid more in co pays and prescriptions this year then what money I made?????
Wow this is one question I want to find the answer to, but I don't think that Dan will want to know the answer!!!

Boy do we have some catching up to do!

so here we go:
Easter was awesome! We enjoyed a great Breakfast, hunted some (I mean 9 dozen) Eggs, relaxed, Aunt Gail joined us for some Easter ham and off to bed. Non eventful day except for that snow storm we would have off and on.

So Monday morning 3/24, we are on spring break and boy do I have plans for us. I go to the gym at 5:30 am to get my work out in before anyone wakes up. I am going to have everything straightened up and when the kids get up we are going to get out and enjoy the nice weather, but wait who is that waking up at 6:30 am running a 102.5 temp?? oh of course, let's see the only Bloomfield child to not have the flu yet. EMILY.
So to the doctor we go, cause if it is the flu we are getting Tami flu. Yup we are positive. To Walgreen's. To bed. Great start to our spring break!!!

so Tuesday 3/25, yeah this is the day we would have spent at the ZOO. Yup home with the flu.

so Wednesday 3/26, yeah today would have been that day we were going to get a hotel room with the Rybaks, take them swimming, and have a great time!. YUP did not happen. But we did manage to go to the park for an hour. It did us all a lot of good, even Emmie. but then back home cause she still was not completely better.

so Thursday 3/27, so this is the day that I think might be our turn a round she is breathing good, she is up and moving and getting stir crazy, so I talk to Cheryl and if there are not changes by noon we are off to the Holiday Inn St. Peters for a little swimming, and playing with our friends. We meet up there at 4 ish. swim for an hour, Danny had a soccer game so we took the kids to watch, then picked up dinner from Pasta House, took it back to the pool with us and played till about 10:30 ish. Got everyone ready for bed and the REAL FUN BEGINS.
Breathing disaster!!!!!!!!!!! Em is up all night just coughing her head off. about 4 am she wakes up just barking like a seal. I fly out of bed, get her treatment started, and throw on my cloths (the best part was Cheryl and I had adjoining rooms), so I tapped her door to tell her Em and I were off to the back of the Parking lot (Barns St. Pet). I am so bad that I did not even put her in a seat belt. CROUP! yuck I hate that. Cus this stupid illness only is horrible at 2,3,4 and 5 am.

So FRIDAY you know where we were??? Yup home with Croup. We did go back to school on Monday, but goodness what a s**tty spring break! We had to miss Bailey's 1st out door game cause Em had to be home (she really never even wanted to get out of bed or her pj's)
