End of week...

Well, it is the end of week 5 that I have been off work. What have I done? Doesn't really seem like much. Amazing how time goes by so fast!!! Really though, I have been able to spend lots of time with Tyler. He has been getting off the bus everyday and we usually have close to 2 hrs before Todd gets home. I have really enjoyed that. From 2-3pm, I find myself going a little stir crazy. I know I will miss the time when I get back to work!!!

I have *tried* to be a decent home person. Todd has not had to do ANY laundry or ANY dishes. I have even had dinner ready when he walks in the door. I have taken the time off to get ready for a huge area consignment sale, our neighborhood garage sale and a local scrapbook yard sale. I have gutted 2 closets and the garage. I even cleaned the lazy susan-which had spices with expiration dates of 04! LOL.

What else, I took Ty to the doctor today because I was a little worried about his height and weight. According to the dr, he is fine~weighing in at 51 lbs and 47 inches. Hopefully with shoes on he will be 48 inches for our upcoming disney trip. I really believe he is just going to be a "little" kid.

Today is my dads birthday. So Happy Birthday Dad! I think he is the only one who is still reading this blog....LOL

I will post again after this weekend. Thanks to all.

Major Update--

Once again, I am way far behind on updating everyone. I debated deleting but many family members said they enjoy reading it every now and again. So for now, it will stay. I will give everyone a "brief" update on each of us

TODD-he is doing so well and life really is back to normal, or as normal gets. I said in the last post that he was golfing regularly, working normal 40 hour work week and doing stuff around the house-yes, he is mowing the yard again!!! He is still at VF Outlet and is close to celebrating 10 years of employment. As far as the tumor goes, he will go for a scan in January. His vision is good and so is the slight paralysis. Now if we could just get his facial features back in place. I tease him that people pay alot of money, meaning Botox, to have the tightness that he has.

KIM-I have had the most change in the last few months. Thing went down hill very fast at the "Sweet Treat" place, I was basically let go a few weeks ago. Most definitely a huge blessing in disguise. I have had a few weeks off of work to get things done around the house and do some "playing". I had 2 job offers, 1 back in the mall and 1 outside of my degree. I went with the outside of my degree!!! My new path is about to begin. This job is M-F and NORMAL hours. I will update all once things are underway!

TYLER-Tyler started 3rd grade this year and is doing very well! He is so darn cute but he keeps us on our toes. He started playing fall baseball but he is not happy with his team, as he has moved up to another league and he is the "new man on the totem pole." He keeps asking if he has to finish the season and every time my answer is NO! My heart goes out for him. He told us that he does not want to play in the spring so we will wait and see. Not sure what the next sport is....he wants to try basketball.

We are going on Fall Break to Disney World on the 18th of October. I can't wait and neither can Ty but Todd could care less. Tyler finally reached 48" so now he can ride the "big" kid rides. I will post a pic of last weekend when we went to Dollywood and he was tall enough! This picture is a HOOT!!!

Anywho, there is the update! I will try and do better.
