Health Update

So I've been struggling with Crohn's since Dec. the end of January it got really bad, so my mom flew up from Mckinney to help us with the kids while I rested. I had blood tests done, which all came back normal, so that's great. I also had a CT Scan and it showed some thickening of my small intestine in one area which happens to be the area that was hurting like H***.
Since I'm done nursing and having kids Joe has put me on a heavy vitamin and mineral regimen to help nourish and heal my body. I have felt a lot better the past few days. I still have some rough moments during the day, but not as horrible as it was 2 weeks ago. I'm supposed to go to the gastro dr. next week and get a colonoscopy done, not too excited about that because we've been down that road before with no answer. So I pray that the natural approach works. I want to thank everyone who has been so helpful with meals, my kids, and just wonderful friendships! It was wonderful to have my mom here. The kids absolutely enjoyed every minute of her being here as did I! I am also grateful for Stuart all of his medical help, thanks for being a super Doc.

Happy Valentine's Day

So this year I thought I would finally use my talent and make sugar cookies for my monkey's to give to their friends at school instead of cards. It all seemed fine until I realized that I have 4 kids in school, but I already gave my word, so my overnighter began. I was 3 short of 100 cookies on my kitchen table. It took me all night to get them done, but I really enjoyed it. I then had an order from one of the girls at the office so I made cupcakes for all 4 of the girls and put them in cute boxes. Then I decided to take cookie orders for Valentine's Day. It felt great to bake. It's my outlet, my own world. I can't wait to have a bigger home. I really would like to have a 3 car garage and convert the 3rd area into a bakery. I'm also looking at going to culinary school. I've really thought about what I would like to do and it's baking. There are so many things I could do, but will I love it and still be at home with the kids? Heavenly Father blessed me with a wonderful talent, so I should make the most of it!

happy birthday joey

January 21 was Joe's 34th birthday. We took him to Applebee's for dinner and then we had cake and gifts at home. So the 21st was a wed. and that's the night the men play basketball. I got joe some new basketball shoes so he was off to play. Not 30 min later he was back. I figured he sprained his ankle, but no he broke his hand. I instantly started crying and had a huge panic attack. Hello!!!!!!!! He's a chiropractor. So his hand will take a bit longer to heal, but he has been able to take care of his patients.
