Health Update

As you all know I have been on roller coaster of emotions with all this health stuff. I went to see a specialist at the Heart Institute and here is what they have found so far. I have a Mildly enlarged right ventricle, Mildly elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure. So they want more tests I will be having a cardiac MRI and more blood tests to rule out RV Dysplasia. They also want to do and EP study with 3-D Cardiac Mapping of the Right Ventricle Valve to access my heart completely. I hope that the MRI shows them whatever they need to know so that I wont have to have the Mapping procedure done. Mapping is done by "fishing" electrodes into my femoral artery (the one in the leg) to my heart and electronically stimulating it to see what it does (fibrillate, beat fast, etc.) I would be semi-under local anesthesia but I don't want that procedure done. Well family and friends keep praying for me and I will keep you updated as to what is going on.

5th Grade Continuation

Jacob had his continuation (graduation) on Friday and everything went just fine. First of all I got to the school at 7:30 am to start setting up. I had about 2 parent helpers at that time. We set up and the ceremony went just fine, Jacob looked so handsome. He got a medal for Proficient in Math and Reading. Just after the ceremony we went to the park behind the school for the party. I had about 3 parents helping at that time. We had loads of food and the kids had a good time. THANK GOD for my parents they helped set up and clean up. Half way through the principal came out and heard the DJ playing " Pour some sugar on me" by Def Leopard and hit the roof. She went over to the DJ and ripped him a new one, then turned her wrath on me and ripped me a new one for hiring him. I was able to calm her and the DJ down but It was a tense few minuets. We finished up around 3:00 and I was so drained I couldn't even speak in full sentences. Thanks again to Roxie, all her ideas were a hit at the party.

Happy Birthday Laurel!

Let's Get Ready to Rumble

Alberto and Delainey are like bratty bro and bratty little sis. They cannot have boxing gloves around them at any time. First she starts on him and then he beats the crap out of her, but she don't stop! She gave him a good ole 1..2..3... and he was tired. Were getting to old for this much cardio.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Fabulous mothers out there. I've been blessed with a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister and great friends that all treat my children like they were their children too.

Every Day is a NEW Day!

Well since my "vent fest" yesterday I still went to bed frustrated and worried about what I'm going to do with the 5th Grade Continuation. When to my surprise my wonderful, caring and totally helpful friend Roxie came to my rescue. I woke the kids up for school and came on the computer to check my email and there is was.... the path to greatness! Roxie emailed me the best ideas for the continuation!. I meet with the 5th grade teachers and it was a hit, they all sang my praises. Of course I gave all the credit to my buddy in Colorado, and told them that I was blessed to have such a great friend that always has my back, even hundreds of miles away!
I love you Senorita Highlander.

Time to Vent.........

Okay here it is time to let off some major steam. I'm the lead coordinator for Jacob's 5Th grade continuation (AKA graduation). I have a few parents that have volunteered to do different things like food, decorations, set up and so on. WELL I've been having a hard time getting a hold of these parents to see what they can help with. No one wants to answer my phone calls, but then I get an email from one of the parents wanting to know "what direction" things are going in? WHAT THE HECK????????????? I've been going in 40 directions looking for your butt!. Okay I'm a little frustrated. Painted Sky took about a month to just let me know what the budget is and now that we are down to the wire everyone is freaking out wanting to know "what do you need done" I feel like screaming "EVERYTHING". Why do parents think that one person can put on a party for 200 students and their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles by themselves. Here is the really bad part, Catherine Lind and Rebecca Montoya (from Girl Scouts) are the mothers that planned last years WONDERFUL party. So not only am I alone on this one and racking my brain to get things DONATED and VOLUNTEERS but I have the wonder mom's legacy to follow. I need a nap!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish....

This one has a little star, this one has a little car, oh what alot of fish there are!. Ok So I read alot of Dr. Seuss books to my children but every time I see a fish I think of that book. Alberto and Dad went fishing and Alberto caught a good size trout. He is totally proud of it and wont stop talking about it. He always loves to go fishing with my dad. Its always an adventure with the both of them. Dad's boat is almost "Lake Ready" so hold on to your ore's people they will be riding the waves in no time.

Happy Birthday To Sophia!

Well my little girl is 7. She is so excited Grandma and Grandpa showerd her with gifts and so did Auntie D. She got everything she wanted and then some. As you can see my mom and dad were wiped out after an afternoon of children! Dad even fell asleep with the lemon from his tea in his mouth. HAHA
