Company A’Comin

We have a busy couple of weekends coming up…not to mention a few special days! Liam’s 9th birthday is Monday. In honor of his special day, we are taking him to the dentist to get his cavity fixed. Isn’t that sweet of us? My question is…do you load him up on “birthday sugar” before or after he gets drilled?

Then, next weekend, Mom and James and Steve and Carolina are coming up to visit! :) We are looking very forward to seeing them! Add to that Maggie’s birthday the following week and the OHIO STATE FAIR and things are looking exciting despite the job hunting drag! We are hopeful that we are going to be getting a break on the job front soon. There are some promising signs. Prayers would not go amiss!

Jon has been very busy today, patching and taping and fixing things around the house. Trying to get it ready to put on the market if we come to that.

Baseball is over! Sam’s team did actually win one of their tournament games, much to our surprise. In all they won 3 games all year. Which was 3 more than we thought they would given how young the team was. It was a tough year for him though. And I, personally, am relieved to have it over. Ready to move on to the next thing…just as soon as we know what the next thing is!

Love you all!

A Few Things…

1. I really, really, really need to get Jet a pawdicure. His nails are longer than mine.

2. Liam’s tournaments start today. Start and potentially end. He has 2 games scheduled today win or lose and it’s a double elim. tourney. For his sake, I hope he wins…for my sake, well…better not hope it out loud.

3. My recovery is going very well. I am on track and feeling loads better. When I went in for my check up Dr. Ruiz gave me my pathology report. I have the dubious honor of being a gall bladder he will never forget. I had “more than one hundred stones”.

4. I could not care less that LeBron James went to Miami. So obviously, not everyone in Ohio hates him.

5. We have had no news on the job front. More submissions for more jobs, but I think we’ve gotten to the point now where submissions do little to encourage us. Or at least I have. Spirits are at an all time low.

6. I love you all!

A Waiting Game

Today, we are making homemade ice cream. The kids are waiting…very impatiently.

As a matter of fact, while a watched pot may never boil…

…watched ice cream will indeed spin.

And Liam will indeed continue to sit and watch. Which is a good thing…he keeps having to chase Jet away. Jet enjoys stopping and having a taste of the ice and salt on the sides.

Goofy dog.

Meantime, I have NOT been doing a very good job of taking it easy since my surgery. Consequently, I’m very tired and my belly is very sore. But, still…making some progress. And despite the soreness, I do feel better. I’m glad to have that silly ole gall bladder gone.

Love you all!
