Ummm hi!
Yes, it has been awile.
No, I didn't forget I have a blog.
I have had a million blog entries started....in my head you know, but never found the time to put it to web. Then one week turns into two, and so it goes.
We last left off with Tom recouping from surgery. He is doing quite well and he was released from his Dr. He is now RUNNING which, according to his surgeon, is pretty unheard of at this stage in the game. But Tom has an awesome attitude and the will to be back to "normal". GO TOM!
We also left off with my van blowing a spark plug. You remember that right? Well it happened, it was loud, it was scary, and I didn't trust my van any longer.
Was it a random thing? YES TOTALLY RANDOM.
Could it happen again? No, but yes.
This fear comes from my wheel coming off at 65mph once and I never trusted that car the same way again. So call it PTSD..or call it crazy I didn't trust my van anymore.
This is me trying to tell you I got a new car.
A 2009 dodge Caravan. I know...don't swoon all at once!
This is THE actual van in my driveway. We got a really great deal and got some pretty neat upgrades.
We got the van juuuust in time to visit Tom's Mom for Mothers Day. We could never buy her any gift better then giving her the gift of us. She declared it "The Best Mothers Day EVER". Now she was either telling the truth or she was being sarcastic. You decide. I like to think she was really really happy.
We all got dressed up and went to church with her....
We went to the lake for Memorial Day. no pictures. I didn't bring the camera. My mom bought a house near the lake that has an in-ground pool. To say the pool needed work was an understatement. We spent the weekend cleaning out the pool with Michelle's family. We did have a day at the lake on the boat so not all was lost.
We decided to go again the following weekend because we wanted more fun. We got more than we bargained for when we came back to find our garage had been robbed.
If they wanted to hurt my husband, they knew right where to get him. He said kicking him in the balls would have been better than this.
Every tool he owned was GONE.
Wait I take that back, he did find a wrench and a screwdriver on the floor. So they didn't render him totally helpless. Let's all hope that every bolt he will ever unscrew is a 3/16th size and every screw a phillips!!
We have been dealing with insurance and let me tell you, we got screwed when we got robbed and now the insurance company is getting a piece of our ass too. Yeah I know that was vulgar. But that is pretty much how this process feels.
Those are the highlights of the past 2 months. You can fill in the gaps with the kids arguing, having sleepovers with friends, me crying over the fact they my son will be a junior next year, lots of commentaries that would have made good blog entries if I had remembered to write them down, and just a bunch of life in general.
In the near future I hope to change the header of this ol' blog, especially since I am coming up on my 3 year blogivesary!
Until then, see ya!
