Just over a week til school starts !

Wow summer went so fast .... we had 1st grade orientation for Nik tonight... and he just turned 7 years old this past Saturday ~ time just goes by to fast in general !!

My daughter made a travelling softball team ~ practice starts this Thursday and they are going to play a fall league ~ 5 week on Sunday's so she'll play 2 games of softball and then go directly to the football games to cheer... I bet she'll sleep really well on Sunday nights !!!!!

I am slowly getting ready bus route wise for the start of the school year.... I am doing a new route this year and although I will miss my kids from the old route I'm really excited to learn the new route and get to know these kids.... it's going to be a good year :)

Well it's that time to think about nighty night time....

Finally starting to feel a bit more like me !

It was a week ago today that I had my sugery. Wow last week was HARD while I was in the hospital I got very upset at the nurses.. they wouldn't give me the pain meds that were promised to me to help me "over the hump" they kept giving me a hard time... I guess at one point and time I told the one nurse to "just forget it and get out of my room" ..... I have never been a victim of such lack of concern in a hospital ..... now that I'm feeling better I am going to write a letter and address it to the DON, Hospital Admin and my doctor so they know exactly what is happening and how patients are being treated.

As of tomorrow we have 2 weeks til school starts... getting my bus paperwork around and organized.... such fun :) I won't be driving the first 3 days but I will be able to be on the bus which will be good .. give me a chance to get to know the knew route... see what kids work sitting together and which one's don't !!!!


Last night my daughter went to get her medicine out of the cupboard and the whole thing fell OFF OF THE WALL AT HER !!!!!!! OMG I was so scared... she's a bit stiff from throwing herself backwards and has a few scrapes on her leg from the glass from all of my plates etc hitting her.. but thank God she wasn't hurt more. And the poor little thing thought I would get mad b/c all of my plates broke.... she thought it was her fault ... my poor sweet baby girl.. I told her it wasn't her fault and plates could be replaced.. SHE COULDN'T

See my life is crazy !!!

Over half way through August and I can't believe it. I went to see my doctor not even two weeks ago and he agreed to do the hysterectomy ... scheduled it for the 25th of this month. I would miss the first 3 days of school.. I could be on the bus but not drive.... well they called last Wed and asked if I could do it tomorrow... of course I said yes (just want to get it done and over with) and have a bit more recovery time before going back to work..... so I thought I had 2 weeks to get everything done and boom actually less than a week. So tomorrow I go in and will be in the hospital hopefully only overnight.

Meanwhile I was accepted on DSO's CT and I want to share some layouts I've done so far.... the first two are from A Starry Night ~ created by Charlies Digiscraps

The next two layouts I created using Live Laugh Love created by LP and 3 Dogs Designs

Thursday ... busy busy

I have peas to freeze today. But first I'm back to the doctor... still in pain and last week I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic he gave me. I've been working on scrapping during my down times.... (which seems like too much lately)

Gracie has only 6 more practices until her first game to cheer at. Their uniforms are due in around the 17th ... still got to get Nik signed up for soccer... then they will both have something to keep them occupied this fall.

I just completed a layout using Lyndsay Riches Flowery Earthy Goodness Collab I couldn't BELIEVE just how much Gracie has changed in the past few years... her hair is short now...she's gotten so much thinner... I can't believe she's growing up on me.

And here is a layout I did with Laura Burger's Sunny Day.... just a beautiful bright kit !

Off to get ready for my doctor's appointment !!
