Strep sucks!

Here I am on a Fri. night sick, alone and just feeling pretty pathetic! I found out today I have strep throat! Good thing it's strep because yesterday I could have sworn it was the bubonic plague! I literally thought I was dying! Ok, so I've been accused of being sorta dramatic(thanks mom!) but I really felt like the grim reaper was knocking on my door! Strep sucks!
So Bobby and the kids are in Springfield, MO celebrating our nephews 13th birthday and my mom and dad are in KC celebrating my aunts 60th birthday, so who is here to take care of my pathetic, sick self? No one! Now don't go feeling sorry for me, I'm doing enough of that myself! I'm actually doing halfway decent on my own or else I wouldn't be on the internet updating you lovely people on my sick existence! As long as I keep myself medicated, heavily medicated I can somewhat function. Tyelnol and Ibuprofen are my friends, they make water not feel like razor blades going down my throat! Thats always a good thing! Ok, goodnight!

We've been cleared!

Hooray! Payton has been cleared officially by the neurosurgeon! We went and had a CT scan and then followed up with Dr. Grundmeyer at his office. He says Payton has a residual bruise that showed up on the CT scan but no blood! Payton is now free to resume his ordinary boy stuff such as skateboarding(his fave!) and basketball! While the 6 weeks wasn't as long or as bad as I thought it would be I'm just glad he is fine. He had a smile so big when we left the office! Thanks for all the continuing prayers and concerns for Payton. Once again, God is a good God!

Green is cool

Going green is the new craze and while I'm not totally opposed to it I'm somewhat weary. I see what is doing to manufacturers and consumers. They throw a "green" label on their product and all of a sudden it's more desirable. Yet the packaging hasn't changed and the chemicals are nearly the same. It just seems a little wrong to me. Anyways, like I said I'm not totally opposed to it. To honor our familys new years resolution we have done little things around here to do our part. Bobby and the kids have started to collect cans to recycle. The kids have decided to use the money earned to honor their commitment to the unleash campaign at church. Not only are they doing the enviroment a favor they are following up on a promise to honor God. Pretty cool if ya ask me!
Another thing that we are doing really just kind of happened. Our clothes dryer died on us about a week ago. Instead of running out and getting a new one we have opted to line dry, for now that is. I want to see how much it affects our electricity bill next month. If I see a big difference then I may be a changed woman. Some people might not think it will make a huge dent but we tend to do at least one or two loads a day. We have six people in our house and laundry tends to pile up if not attacked every day or at the least every other day. So I'm off to find laundry line and racks since every door way in our house has clothes hanging from them. Maybe this fall we will get the current one fixed if it's fixable or buy a new one but for now we will continue with our little house on the prarie, pioneer ways!

My new toy and a deal shared!

Yep, I finally got my blackberry curve! I'm so excited! I'm such a gadget nerd and I have been eyeing and waiting for this for awhile. I convinced Bobby that he needed one too! We got a great deal on them also. I got them at radio shack for get this, 49.95! Yes, a 429.00 phone for 49.95! We had to sign another 2 year contract with att but we have been happy with them the last two years and saw no problem with doing it again! This phone is just too cool and very easy to use!

Oh, by the way, Bobby asked me the other day if I shared my other deal of the century with my blog readers! He is so funny! I bought this basketball goal like three weeks ago and he is still talking about the deal. I was walking out of Dick's Sporting Goods when I walked by this basketball goal that had a sign on it that said 49.99! I walked right back in and asked if the sign had a typo and the cashier said no and I said sold! I didn't even think twice about how I would get this huge goal home plus we have been wanting one since our last one broke during a wind storm! It was the last one and it was the display model so that is why it was marked down so much. But that is not the kicker, it was regularly priced at $499! It is a really, really nice goal too! So sturdy and it has a easy to use handle to adjust the height of the goal. You usually have to use a broom on all the other ones to adjust them. So there, I've shared!

That's what I like about Sundays.....

After a wonderful worship service this morning we decided to spend some time outside with the kids at Sedwick County park. Fortunately I grabbed my camera on the way out of the door to church in the hopes of going to the zoo or park since the weather today is unbelievable! Yeah me because I got some great shots of the kids! Enjoy!

Cody's Program

Cody is a fifth grader...which means this was his last musical program in grade school! Sniff...sniff...ok, get a grip mom! Anyways the 5th graders at Woodman put on a wonderful program filled with recorders, a string section and soloists. The followed up with a slide show set to music of all the 5th graders. Bobby, Sydney and I really enjoyed it! Here are some pics!
