ED4AY: Falling off a horse and other adventures

Day 39 - Sept 24
Got the baby girl up early and we went to Papa Ron's. We met up there with Kel and April, later Tara and her new roomate Julie came out. We went to see Kel's grandma and grandpa Solomon and played Rummikube with them while Carly played on the floor and subsequently had a blow out.....I thought maybe someone had farted until I realized Carly didn't want to sit. YIKES!

We also rode horses and yes I fell off. Jack tried to brush April and I off with a branch and we both leaned the same direction. I was behind so I tried to jump off but my food got caught in the cinch and down I went. Just glad he stepped to the side and not on me.

Day 40 - Sept 25
Seems like there have been a lot of people passing away lately.
While I understand that death is a part of life I don't always understand why it has to be cruel.

A good friend Chuck passed away after his long and enduring battle with cancer. He was only 45. He had a wife that loved and laughed with everyone. Three children that each have their own endearing qualities that make people draw to them.

His son Ethan and The Hubs were very good friends in high school and just after. Ethan is building the new family home (a story for another day) and The Hubs - being the supa awesome mad skilled electrician and HVAC technician that he is has been helping Ethan with the electrical and furnace/air conditioning set up.

More every day for a year

Mirror mirror on the wall....who is the lamest blogger of them all?
SURPRISE.....ITS THIS GAL!

Day 32 - Sept 17
Today was the Testicle Festival in KC at Lynne and Gery's but Carly was icky sicky, our flying trip turned into icky diarrhea so that was NO FUN!

Day 33 - Sept 18
PAR-TAY Ellie turned 1!! It was a beautiful day, sun shinny, light breeze, spitty baby. Like spitty all over Ellie's grandma's purse and the floor of the fire station meeting room (it has a room you can rent out - super nice and great set up) and on my piece of cupcake and the front of me and Wyatt and Andrea and EVERYWHERE - sigh...so goes it.

Day 34 - Sept 19
Went to Burl to get some medicine for the icky sicky blister butt. Thankfully it wasn't $180 like the medicine but anyhoo...it helped.

Day 35 - Sept 20
Went to Iola after school to watch our Cross Country kids run. They did really well - Carly spent most of the time laughing and clapping and getting passed around. Which is good- she is getting heavy. Her blister but is completely cleared up.

Day 36 - Sept 21
According to my calendar it is peace day. Who knew peace was given it's own day, shouldn't it be everyday? No peace here- Carly is pulling up on things which also means she is falling off of things.

Day 37 - Sept 22
Rediscovered how much I Looooovvvvveeee Thursdays. Cody is home. Wine is out in full force. Baby is tuckered out and snuggly by the time Grey's is far enough to start the DVR so I can skip the commercials. I just lay in the recliner, watching my shows, sipping on my wine, holding the baby and listening to Cody snore away happily. Life is good.

Day 38 - Sept 23
Football against Madison. We got beat which really stinks because we are good but get down on ourselves and get siked out.
Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
