Steve II

The second surgery is over...the pins were removed and all is well.  He did great!!  He has asked for pain meds only once since surgery yesterday!!  No immobilizer....a sling as needed.  No use of the arm for lifting, etc...which is harder than it sounds.  Without it strapped to you it is natural for you to reach with that hand and try to use it.  Oh YES after he does he FEELS why it was a NO NO!  :-)

He is already begging this morning for muffins and for me to take him to the wrestling championship meet.  I kind of miss it myself and all the kids too....so I think we will head to Eaton Rapids soon.

Have an awesome weekend.

weekend craziness

seems to be the normal for the Barton's anymore.

• i had to work a few hours....had to pick Steve up a few times this week....thereapy and on Friday when he got punched in his arm!!...right where the pins are!!  He now has a bruise there!!
• Hutch's in Spring Arbor.....one day meat sale.  Filled the freezer for 128.00.  pork steak, chops, bacon, corn dogs, chicken quarters, fish, burger, ribeye.......no hungry boys here for a few weeks
• took the younger 2 today to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D.  (love giftcards) had my favorite movie theater popcorn for lunch.  :-)
• going to have dinner with Gram....Ceasars's pizzas!!  Koda is working and will meet us there

I have one computer back up and runnin= which means I am online.  That sums it up.

I think we will get the other one fixed this week.....found some parts and hoping to recover all of the pics and stored stuff on my pc harddrive.  crossing my fingers!!

Have an awesome week.

improving

We have the laptop back....it's a start.  We need to shop around and seek deals for either parts or a new tower for the pc. darn it.  Just don't have a load of spare change for everything that keeps popping up.

Good news.  Steve is doing great.  He is taking less and less pain meds....he is doing his OT and PT at home without being reminded.....he is getting his homework made up and turned in!  whew!  So glad he is a such a good kid.  :-)  He made it school and stayed most of the week.  Tomorrow he starts his PT / OT routine ....after school for 1.5 hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The therapists are both young girls and they love him and think he is too cute.  He has to be seen by pediatric therapists because of his age....both girls were shocked when they called 'Steve Barton' and Baby Godzilla stood and walked towards them.  He towers over both of them ...too funny.

Life is good.  (By the way, I  am blaming my crazy life on the curse of turning 40!!)

computer - less

The Barton family are out of order......our motherboard is toast on the pc and the laptop is infected (has been for months and I was refusing to get it fixed).  Therefore, we are OUT OF BUSINESS.  and frankly, other than homework and writing papers....I am ok with it, because we are CRAZY stinkin BUSY!  appointments and more appointments and then there are Navy meetings, and work schedules and ......
Life is good.  Change is good.

text me or call me.

A SPECIAL GIFT

Jakob gave this to me for my 'special birthday' today.  (he calls it that instead of saying 40th)  lol

He made this clock in art class and had been trying to get it home in time.....I knew about it, kind of, but no details other than he made it just for me.

I love my new clock!!

Thank you Jakob Tyler!!
