Back Again

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a nice summer, and yes I realize it is technically not over yet, but my girls have been in school for two weeks now and summer has once again flown by all too fast(except for the last week when I couldn't wait for school to start :P ) We were quite busy around here, trying to make up for last year some and I think we all had a nice summer altho, and don't get mad, but I would have liked it a bit warmer! I know, shocking, but summer isn't summer if you freeze every time you get in the pool, at least not around here anyway. There were about 3 days in June when we were dying from the heat and the coolness of the pool beckoned, but other than that it wasn't a big deal and that seems sort of wrong somehow!

Anyway, we are back in the swing of Girl Scouts and volleyball and piano just everything that comes with school and its kind of nice. To have peace and quiet back in the house that is:) Kidding...somewhat anyway! Now don't get me wrong, I miss them and eagerly await the bus everyday, but it is nice to have the girls back with their friends and to see how they continue to grow and mature and expand their minds and horizons and surprise me all time while doing it. Yes, I am getting a bit emotional..but hey, I'm allowed, my oldest started 5th grade this year and sometimes its seems to be going too fast...sigh.

As for me, I am well. My hair continues to grow and curl:) and has been bleaching nicely in the sun like it usually does-YAY :) I have been inspired by some friends and have started a diet(which for me means just eating healthy and the right amounts, nothing radical) and am continuing my modified exercise as I explore how my muscles will stretch(it's interesting what hurts in connection with all the surgeries!) and await the "real" ones. Which I have actually scheduled. I will be having the "transfer" surgery on Sept 22. It should be a quick recovery pain wise since it is a very simple small cut, switch implants, stitch it back up deal but there will still be drains......soooo we'll see how long I last ;) Until then I will somehow fill my time with scouts, coaching, classroom helping, organizing closets and finishing painting the living room...hmmmm maybe I won't complain about the drains and enjoy my rest time.....nah, probably not:)

I will try and be around much more often and I hope you all are well.

Blog ya later,
