what's up

I can't believe how hard the past two days have been. I am missing my mom more than ever. It was probably because I had my first b-day without mom and grandma and Luke's b-day to. I finally realized that I will have to live the rest of my life without my mommy. I know that I will be reunited with her in heaven but it still hurts. I just have this hole in my heart right now. Everyone says that time will heal but I don't time right now, I have hurt. I do have faith that things will get better. I was doing really good until yesterday.
I am staying busy with my craft stuff and housework. I hope to get the business up and running soon. I need to decide on a logo and website set up. The kids are great. Austin is working on his Science Fair project. Luke is loving his green machine, and Savannah is just crazy.

Green Machine!

It's been a while since I posted a new blog so I thought that I should get busy. My b-day was awesome last Friday. We had a few friends over for a evening of grilling and Wii. The kids spent the night at grandma's and had a blast.
This Sunday is Luke's 9th b-day!! We got him a green machine and he loves it. For those that don't know us, we ALWAYS give gifts early. We are getting better with the kids but we just can't wait most of the time. Luke is a wild man on the green machine and has pretty much mastered it. Were having a family get together on Sunday to celebrate Luke's b-day and a good-bye party for Donna & Ralph. They split their time between here and North Carolina.
It's been busy around here. We had to replace our entire A/C yesterday. The company that we dealt with was so amazing. If you live in the Tampa Bay area I highly recommend Bayside Heating and Cooling. We found them on Angie's List a couple years ago and have used them ever since.
If you need an oil change I can tell you one place to NOT go!! I had an appointment on Tuesday at 10am at Dayton Andrews Dodge in Clearwater. I was their until 12:45pm! That's right
2 hours and 45 minutes. I was okay with an hour wait but come on almost 3!! When I questioned them about my appointment I was told that the appointment is with the office and not the mechanic. Makes no since to me so I won't be going back. It would have taken longer but I threw a fit and that's when things moved much faster.
Here are a couple pictures.
Savannah giving herself bunny ears!!
Luke on his Green Machine.
A very happy boy after he got his gift.

more good news

I am feeling so much better this week. I think that all the new meds are kicking it. I had my tests done on Saturday and the results were normal. Well the sinus CT scan showed some abnormalities but nothing to worry about or even treat. My nurse said that it was something that happened when I was a wee embryo forming in the womb. So life is good again!
Luke is feeling better too but he's getting tired easily. I thinks it's just being lazy. But what do I know, I'm just mom.
I need to get the boys from school and take Nana to dance class.

Exciting news!!

I have some exciting news that I want to share with everyone. I'm working on a website to sell custom crafts. Well actually Matt and Penny are working on the website stuff and I will be doing the crafts. It will mostly be mini scrapbooks, but I can do large ones to. I will also be selling decorating picture frames. Each item will be costume made however my customers want. You will pick the pictures, colors, theme's. It's still in the early stages but we hope to get it up and running soon. This will be so awesome if I can bring in some extra cash doing what I love.
I am feeling much better today and so is Luke. I did take Luke to the doctor this morning and he got some antibiotics. He will be back in school just in time for the FCAT testing next week. It's been nice to have a sick buddy to keep me company, but now that he's feeling better he's quite the little pain in the rear!
I need to get up from the computer and get some housework done.

update

I went to see a allergy/asthma doctor this morning for the first time. He is Luke's doctor and noticed last week when Luke was there that I needed to come for a visit myself. I'm glad I did because I have moderate/severe asthma and could very well have died if I had a bad attack. I had a breathing test done and will go back for allergy tests next month. He also ordered a CT scan of my sinuses and a chest x-ray to check if I have pneumonia. I'll have those done on Saturday. Hopefully I don't have any major lung issues because that would suck. He also changed my meds.
Luke stayed home from school today because of a fever and all around yucky feeling. He's had a fever everyday since last Friday. Poor boy. If he has another fever in the morning then he will need to see his doctor. Thankfully Savannah and Austin are health.
I'm getting excited about my birthday. It's on Friday the 13th this year.....spooky!! Matt asked his mom to come over and watch the kids next weekend so we can get away for a couple days. I think we are going over to Orlando but I'm not sure yet. I hope that I'm feeling better by then. Thanks for checking up on me.
