~Playing Catch Up~


Ok, I know I can never stay on top of my blog, what is a woman to do? LOL I know I said I would be be better but I really do not know where all of the time goes! Ok last post, the fair, the was funny! Maybe for you to read but I had to live it! Above is my Macayla we were hanging out at the park and she wanted her picture taken. Can you tell she is not shy!




Here is my baby McKenzie. We found wild raspberries her fav. She is seeing how fast she can eat them! She did a pretty good job!
Well where should I begin. Oh ya here I am everybody is sleeping I just got with housework and now I am unwinding. I have to open the store in 9 hours so I will go with my eyes feeling like gravel that's ok I am use to it.

The store is doing ok for it being open for 4 weeks. I have had sooo many compliments. Big Grand Opening next week! I am soooo excited but lots to do before that. I am having fun though. I really feel so relaxed sometimes I just do not want to leave my little nest that we have created. We already decided if this store takes off we want to move closer to Albert Lea but still live in the country but not too far out. So we shall see what plans God has for us.

It is so funny too how I have to pay for all this advertising for radio and papers and I am finding out that word of mouth is still the good ol fashion way. Yaaa for the ones who enjoy shopping at more store! I really hope they all feel like they are at home and in a very relaxing atmosphere. Another funny thing I pay for advertising but you would not believe all the people visiting me as well to sell their products. Funny how that works. Phone calls I never knew that there are so many card machine sellers, Endless! Oh well I guess it keeps my hopping!

Well two weeks ago we took the girls for a hotel swim. That was actually pretty nice and the girls loved swimming. First I have not swam in awhile because I do not tan I do not want to scare people who might think I am a ghost! LOL Also, I could not seem to find a swim suit I really liked. I do not have my girlish figure anymore and the 2 piece, well lets just say I would not be CAUGHT DEAD IN IT! LOL I will tell you JC Penny's have some really nice one pieces that can make you LOOK GOOD. So thank you to them! HA The sweetest was my Kenzie seen me in and said "Mommy, you look beautiful!" That was so sweet! And she says she likes all my spots on me. Funny. Kids are just so innocent!
Well my Macayla will be starting the big K oh my I know I will cry that day! One of my babes is leaving the nest. She sometimes wants to go and then she will cry and says she wants to stay home. She says she is also never getting married and she is going to live with me forever and take care of me. I will remind her of that when she is 16. Maybe I should record her saying that.
Kenzie is going to start Jumpstart, a program that gets them ready for the big K. She seems excited but says she will miss me. She is really my little baby peanut and I remind her that she has to only go 2 days a week so she can still be with me. She likes the sound of that and smiles.

I can not remember if I told you all this but I go back first week in September to re-do one of my moles. The biopsy came back positive and it is already growing back so that will be cut out and hopefully be gone. Then just regular check ups every 3 months. I am also having big problems with my feet. I got shots of Cortisone in them yesterday and actually I worked myself up for nothing. My Dr. is soooo good. He sprays the spot so it will freeze then injects with Novocaine, then just changes the tube and puts the cortisone in. The only down fall was that I had the worse hot flashes that were 5 times worse than my regular ones! Believe me I needed to shower! My feet are feeling way better hey at least I could get out of bed and walk. I did not need the bed and the walls to help me crawl the first 5 min. of my morn! I am still walking funny still walking kind of the front pads so the heels do not get hit so hard. Fun!
A friend of mine asked me what will I be like at her age, she is about 10 years older than I. I told her I will be in one of those electric cars chasing her around. Ha Ha Ha she laughed her butt off!!!!
Well since my last writing my sister, my nephew and my niece have all had Birthdays and I did not post. Well I actually forgot to post so I apologize for that but I gave presents and cards. So I did remember. I always do. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY~ Tonya, Courtz and Jordan!!!!! I baked it for all of you MMMM yummy!!!!! I hope you guys enjoyed your fun day at Chuckie Cheese!!!
Also, my mom sounds like she is doing better. I know it has been a long haul. Little by little. She got to go to the fair so yaa for her. I know she likes the fair. My step dad rented one of those electric chairs for her so I am glad she got to hit the fair. I bet she did not have as much fun as I did with my monkeys HA. (if you read my last blog you will read how much fun we had) Ya right.

I promise to get pictures taken of our Grand Opening and put them on so you will have to check back. Almost 2 am have to hit the sack morning comes toooo soon.


As Always, Wishing you all ~Peaceful Blessings to You and to Yours~
