And we're back....

Wow, I can't believe how fast the last several days have gone! I've been trying to limit my computer time, and I usually choose to use my alloted time to check blogs instead of write in mine.

So, a few updates:

My aunt Kathy is still in the hospital, but slowly improving.

My sister-in-law's sister is still with her parents and seems to be doing better all the time.

My MIL is in OK visiting my BIL and his family.

I'm recovering from a UTI, but feeling better since Ande forced me to go to the clinic on Friday night (we don't have health insurance, so all I could see were $$$ floating out of our already limited account) Hooray for free antibiotics from Meijers! (With a prescription, of course)

The motorhome has had a little more demolition done to it, but between the weather and other obligations, we haven't done much work to it this week. I've got the fabric and the zippers for the cushions, I just need to make my patterns. I'm holding off because we might be changing the seating configurations, and I don't want to make covers for cushions we might not use. Well, that, and have YOU ever tried to make a pattern on your kitchen floor with a 2 year old and a 1 year old in the house? Yeah, not an easy task.

We're on "spring break" here, but it's about 37 degrees here (but feels like 24 with the wind) and it's been spitting snow on and off all day. The kids are less than thrilled.

The Jib ALMOST walked the other night. She was standing at the coffee table, and she let go. She started to take a step towards me, then realized she wasn't holding on to anything and grabbed the table again. Oh well - she makes up for her lack of walking with her complete mastery of climbing. Given the right set of circumstances, she can climb into her highchair all by herself. Who needs to walk when you're Spiderbaby?

Got the kids' registration for summer camp (UPBC) taken care of this weekend. They're pretty excited.

Found out Nans' mom is planning on moving as soon as school gets out. Still wondering what we are going to do on Ande's weekends - doesn't seem quite right that he should have to spend a total of at least 6 hours of his time driving to pick her up/drop her off each time she comes to visit.

Haven't really had any terribly funny or exciting stuff happen in the last several days, so sorry if this post was boring. I'll try to make it more exciting next time!! Hope all is going well for the rest of you in blogland!!

Okay Amanda.....

Since you tagged me, and listed me as being most likely to respond, I didn't want to disappoint...so here goes:

THE MISSION:
  1. Post the rules and link to the person that tagged me, which is Amanda from Lutz Family Blog (she and her husband Brad used to go to our church before they moved to OK)
  2. Share five random/weird things about myself.
  3. Share five places that I "want to see or want to see again."
  4. Tag five random people and link to them...and let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So, without further adieu...

Five random things about me:

  1. I can write upside down and backwards in print and cursive (that's from years of practice writing notes on the paper of the person sitting behind me in school)
  2. I graduated when I was 17.
  3. I have secretly always wanted to be a dancer.
  4. My second toe is longer than my big toe on both feet. (Apparently an inherited trait, my mom has the same thing, as do some of my kids)
  5. I once walked 19 miles in steel toed shoes just because I was stubborn. It took 6 hours.

Five places I want to see or want to see again:

  1. Hawaii - never been there but I'd like to go.
  2. Yellowstone National Park - my dad took us when I was a kid and I'd love to take my kids.
  3. Alaska - I've heard it's just beautiful.
  4. Italy - for the food.
  5. Ireland - because that's where my dad's family is from.

Five random people I have to tag:

  1. Heather from Rice-A-Roni-ville - hopefully she'll humor me....
  2. Michelle from My Semblance of Sanity - because she seems so nice....
  3. Jules from Z's life - because her name is Julie, too....
  4. Melany from Viata Mea - because she's my cousin in law and as such just has to participate...
  5. Hmmm...who to pick for number 5....well, since Amanda didn't pick her, maybe her mother in law Cindy from 12 Arrows will oblige me?!? Please?

Okay, I did my duty, Amanda....LOL Hopefully I won't get any hate mail from the 5 I asked to participate.

Please continue to pray for Nate, Tricia, and Gwyneth, along with the Avery Family, and the Stanfield Family. Thanks!
