Catching up

Wow, seems like I haven't posted in ages. I hadn't been feeling well and I had to work early all last week, so by evening with having the kids around, I didn't feel much like putting any thoughts down. Well, now I sit alone as Brian sleeps, so I have some peace to do it.

Today I had a checkup with my surgeon. Looks like it will continue that way every six months for who knows how long. No problems, but he always seems to think he has to dialate things "down there". So, of course, when I return he has to check it and do it all over again. I always feel as if I have been violated each time. Today he must have done more than usual because it hurt more, there was some bleeding and I thought I was going to throw up. I think I would enjoy a pap more than this. Maybe.

Otherwise, family is the same as usual. Heather is getting her grades back up, except she is still failing Spanish, but that is getting better too. Maybe we won't get a letter from the school this week. Ty seems to be getting along with his dad a little better. KJ is still keeping us busy with activities. She told me that she will be auditioning for the jr high play soon. She got a lead part last year, so I am sure she will do fine this year. Hallie is growing in leaps and bounds and I'm not sure how we are keeping her in clothes. No exaggerations, she won't be able to wear KJ's hand-me-downs much longer. I think she is leaning towards being built like her mother, where Heather favors her Grandma Thomas.

I think I had better get out and shovel some more snow before daylight leaves and more falls. I'll try to post more this week to catch everyone up.
