My Poor Blog! I have only had it for what? A month MAYBE,,,,MAYBE, and already I got tired with it! I just did not feel that the pink was very me! I am not a pink person. Not that I hate it, I got over that years ago! {I really did use to hate the color pink. Kade loved it, and so I thought I needed to hate it to be different! We are not even twins and yet we have twin problems! Like needing to have totally different likes and dislikes so as to be seen as 'two different people'. Phew! Good thing I got over that huh?? :P } I did not really like any of the blue templates, so I went with green., a much more 'me' color!! Guess I cant stick with one thing for too long. So we shall see how long this one lasts.
Right now, Len is blaming web hacking and web ads on me. Oh! He has just declared that I am 'off the hook'.............'this time'. Oy! He blames me for just about everything! Half the time I dont even know what on earth he is talking about, all this computer stuff that just about all the other guys I know GET, like Dad and David and Grant, yet I dont understand it at all and still manage to get blamed for it!! OY!! That is all I can say! OY!!
Not much happened today. Tomorow we may go to Grampa and Gramma's house. Things are not yet set in stone, since we are not sure what is going on with our Sri Lanka college students, and if Ranuka will need help moving. So there ya have it!
Ok, I think I will go do something else now. Len has stopped blaming me for the problems of this world and has left to go watch TV. There is no one else on really, well Sab is there, but not really......so no one to talk to. Could be because it is not 12:17 here. Do you think that is the reason? I dunno. Perhaps
Anyway. I am in an odd mood tonight. Wonder why!
yeah...............hhmmm

An up side and down side to seeing the Doc!!
I went to see my doc the other day, two days ago really. Have not seen him in a few weeks, and this was my first post-op visit since having the staples removed.
We got there right on time, a huge thing that in it of itself seeing as how that place is a 40 minute drive from my house! As soon as I walked in the door, I could see we were going to be there awhile. That place was packed, and it was hard even to find enough seats together for me, Mum and the kids to all sit with each other. After oh 45 minutes I would say {I am not sure since i did not have my watch on} I was called in to the office. Since it is a post-op visit they needed to take an x-ray to make sure that everything is still in its right place! {He told me when I went the firt of the three visits for my staples, that they want to make sure things have not shifted or such.) MAN was that room COLD!! And then I had to step up and lay down on this MEGA COLD metal table....ooooooooooo man! It did not take long to have 2 x-rays taken and I was told to go back to my room. Forever and a day later, Dr. Kurz came in to see me. {and I am not joking about the time either! I was sitting there so long in a once again freezing room, that my toes fell asleep, so I had to pace around the room to try and keep warm. I watched as others left thier rooms to leave, and the nurses changed the table paper and turned off the light. You see, by this time it was lunch break. I half expected them to leave me there and all go out to eat. But they didnt} What did I find out from him? The good news: I am healing. That may sound like a 'duh' statment, but I did not think my recovery was going very well. The bad news: I am not healing as fast as we would all like! The top of the cut has not yet sealed all the way, so I cant go swimming or start PT, like he was going to tell me to. I am to go back on the 14th to see if I am well enough to start the PT and in so doing, return to work. The bad news for Meijer: That is 2 days before I am suppose to return to my job!! If I have not yet begun PT, I may not have the strength to stand for 8 hours.
It is all in God's hands though. So I am ok with it all!
I am going to post this song, by Sixpence None The Richer, because it seems to keep coming up! I, personally, love it. {and you should know why, seeing as how it is scripture!! :D } If you ever have the chance to hear it, take it. It is called 'Trust" and the music and singing that goes with it, is just so pretty. So here we go. Here is my song of the week!
`Till next we meet`
Trust
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your paths straight
Don't worry about about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord with all of your heart
And He will carry you through
Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on You
When things are going rough
But then I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I hear Your voice it says to me
You have much trouble in this world
I have overcome

Oh! I feel like throwing up!
I went to go get some purple thread at Wal*Mart, for my Ren. Fest costume Mum is making me, and I did a really stupid thing. To get into the store parking lot, from the way I was going, you have to make a left hand turn. Only thing is, while there is a turn lane there is no light for the turn lane. You have to go on green, when there is no on coming traffic in your way. No one had been able to go, since traffic was very heavy at this time, during the green light but all of the sudden, the two cars ahead of me went. Me, following the 'crowd' went along with them. Turns out, we were going on our red, and the green for traffic out of the store {does this make sense? There is a light for the outbound traffic from the store, but not inbound traffic for the store?} It was not until I was right under the light, and saw the light, and the cars to my left started to honk at me, that I realized I was doing an illigal turn. So now I feel like puking! I hate it when I do something like that, I didnt really mean to at all. I just did not want the ppl behind me mad because I was not moving, and I did not pay near enough attention. I am shaking. And that must have happened oh at least a half an hour ago. But then again, there was also the fact that I was in pain while driving, so that must have something to do with my shakes. My seat still has to be back a bit while I drive {or even ride.} My back is not well enough to drive normally. grr and oy!
So that is the 'fun' of the day. I have come to the conclusion that this entire ordeal, of both David and I suffering from back problems and undergoing surgery, has made me even more emotional that I use to be. I cry at even more than I use to. It is really worrying me for my return to work. An event I have nightmares about almost every night. No way do I feel ready to go back yet, and I can not seem to convince myself to remember that it is still a month before I have to return. It is just that, before all this, I was able to handle so much stress and junk. Now, so much makes me cry and break down and I am just thinking I am becoming weak! Phisically I know I am now. That is to be expected I guess, though I still do not like it. I am feeling all around weak, and like it not the least bit!Oy, Im a mess! And all this from a tiny cut in my back! What does this mean for childbirth?? I shudder to think. Mum, I thought you were kidding when you said they were going to have to put me out for it, I am begining to think you are not so far off! heh. Guess I have alot of growing up to do between now and then!!??
Ok, I think my little pitty party is over for now!

Congrats Grant!
Hey everyone!
Grant got his website done and released it. It looks really great! Congrats! One funny thing about this, to me, is that you know how the first post I put on here was about how I got this blog so I could post on his blog? Yeah, well he made his own, a really nice one, too! But NOW, you dont have to have an account with any blog site to post a reply on his post....and he is not going to use the other one as much! lol. Kinda funny huh? Oh well!
I am going insane today! Not sure why. Maybe it is because it is all gloomy and rainy out today, and has been the past few days. While adding text to a pic of Tiff and I together, I was trying to remember the first year that we went to camp. See, the night we came home from the first year of camp, we watched Masterminds, on TV. I 'fell in love' with the main character 'Ozzie Paxton' played by Vincent Kartheiser. {Dont worry, I have since seen the error of my ways....and cringe!} About a month later, we got CB radio/walkie talkies and needed code names. I took the name Ozzie, and begged Tiff to take the name K-Dog, which was the name of Ozzies best friend in the movie. Since then, Ozzie and K-Dog have become part of 'who we are'. We no longer think of it as the names from that movie. For part of Kade's {one of the many variations on the original K-Dog name I have given my younger sister} graduation gift, I gave her a little German Sheppard stuffed puppy with a bracelet I was using as a collar along with a dog tag that had her real name, nick name, and the year we 'became' K-Dog and Ozzie. Phew! All that to tell you why I think I am going insane today! Oy! Well, if you are reading this, you most likely already know me and know I do this type of thing all the time. ANYWHOO. I digress. While making this picture I wanted, like I said, to put down the date we had given each other those names. On her puppy gift, the dog tag says 97, the year we have for long said was out first year there. Turns out, we have been wrong all this time! OY OY OY OY. I went all over the house trying to find my camp books with the year on it to see why we thought it was 97 when it was really 98! Ohgrr
Lets see,.....what else? OH, I added a few new albums of pictures to my yahoo pictures! I have to go soon to my page and link a few more things there, like my old photo albums and Grants new page.
Later!

Sams Birthday
Today is Sam's 5th birthday. His day is going great!! He is loving every minute of it, just like a little five year old should!
My night was pretty horrid. I didnt go to bed till 1 or 1:30, not a bad thing most of the time, but last night {I guess that is this morning isnt it?} I could not stay asleep. In no time at all, it was 3:30 and I was awake! I think I rested until 4, but by that time my back hurt alot and I could not find a position where it didnt. Then I was hot then cold hot then cold. I had enough after not too long, and just gave in to the fact that I was not going to be able to get back to sleep, and wrote letters and read my Bible for a few hours.
So I have been up since about 3:30-4am! It has not had much of an affect on me, until now. Maybe that is why I am not feeling well! I have an upset stomach, but it does not feel like something I ate or anything.
Tara and Grant called me this afternoon, and we talked for oh I would say an hour or more!! Would have been longer had it not been for the fact that I guess I did not power up my cell last night. :/ So it died! Thanks guys, for calling!! That was so great!! It was great to finally get to talk to you {with voice} for so long without a computer going down! {nope, no computers, just a phone going down!} And, as Tara put it, I got to 'meet' the guy behind the "Hobbit Adventure"!!! :D hee hee!! Sorry I did not get to talk longer! I will call you guys again soon though!!
Well, I think I am going to go to my room for awhile. I am really not feeling well.
Lata all!
`Till next we meet`

All this so I can say Hi to Grant! lol
Where is the logic in this? I have a website that Mum is about the only one that visits and a message board to boot, also with the same visitor list, and yet I get a new blog page? HHmmm, is there something wrong with me?
The reason behind this? Yes there is one. I wanted to post a reply to a blog one of my good friends has, and you cant do that without having an account. So I thought, Ok I will get a user name and then go post on Grants blog....but no! Now that I have a user name, I have a Blog page myself! Something else for me to worry about needing to update for no reason! lol!!
Oh well, it is another way for me to talk to myself, always a good thing right? Long as I dont do it out loud and in public, I can get as many other systems as needed, and the world will be alright!
So I hope now I can at least think of something witty and funny to say on Grant's blog, or this will all be for naught!
