Five For Friday!

I can't believe it is already Friday! I am very excited for this weekend. I hope I have five things to write about....

1. My parents are down for the weekend. My Dad is getting an ESI (epidural steriod injection) in his back. I really hope it helps him cause he is hurting pretty bad and he has a bunch of hunts he wants to go on and a bad back plus four-wheeling do not go together. They came down last night and after I got off of work we all went this new diner called Baristas in H-town and had some pretty good pizza. My mom gets to watch all 3 of her grandkids today. I pray Connor goes to the potty good today or she may never offer to watch them again!

2. My Dad's youngest sister, my Aunt Gaylyn, had to have emergency open heart surgery this week! I guess she has had a heart mummur for quite awhile but it was never been bad enough to do anything about. Recently she had been passing out and not feeling good at all so they took her to the hospital. They found out that the electrodes in her heart weren't firing right and Dr. Wong decided that she needed a pacemaker and a defibulator. They were giving her some medication to slow her heart down in prepartion for the surgery but she flat lined and they had to shock her quite a few times to bring her back. After that happend and they got her stable the Dr. decided to do an Oblasion to her heart. I guess that is were they burn a little hole in your heart to help direct the nerve firings in your heart to go the right way. They thought everything was fine but soon realized that is wasn't and they had to rush her in for emergency open heart surgery. She had been bleeding out and ended up having all the blood in her body replaced. She came through the sugery okay. Then she had to have her body tempeture lowered and they were worried that this would cause her to bleed more but she ended up being okay. I've been told that they were going to take the vent out today and while she had the vent in she was doing sign language to tell them what she needed and asking what had happened. She had no idea all the things she had been through. She is only 45 and her youngest just graduated. It looks like she will come through and we are praying for her. My dad's side of the family has had so many trials health wise and I am so grateful for my health!

3. Britt, Gen and I are going to play in a volleyball tournament today for Peach Days! I love getting together and playing. I'm not that good but it is fun to play. There are 6 teams and we start at 5 pm and play pool play and then start the tournament after that and hopefully we will play till the end and win! We could be playing into tomorrow if the games end up going long! I am so so excited.

4. Potty training sucks! We were seriously thinking about quiting and tryin again in five months! I actually put a diaper on him for a couple of hours but then we decided, or I should say I decided cause Josh was ready to go back to the diaper, after to poop accidents in 20 mins. I guess I should not have given him Miralax cause that did not help our cause at all. We are sticking to the undies but I will not be potty training the next child and will pay someone to do it.

5. I have started working another half day. So I work a 4hr, 8hr and two 12hr shifts a week. I did this because it will bump me back up to full-time and we will pay half what we pay now for benefits and make a little extra so we can get out of debt! We have read Dave Ramsey's book and we really want to start using all the things he says we need to do. We are lucky in that we don't have too much debt but it would be nice to say we don't owe anyone anything except for our house. I won't always work 36hrs a week but right now that's how it's going to be.......
