she's baaaaccckkkk

Kind of.  I am so stinkin crazy busy I do not spend time on the computer.  I am on it all day at work, then I go to my other job, then home to catch up on laundry, my wildly overgrown garden and boys.

My ankle....defninite Achilles tendon tear.  Podiatrist suggested trying a custom fitted 'brace' until Nov....then look at it again with an MRI if no improvements....surgery to re-attach.  Checked out the brace....$450 out of pocket!!  Hmm, and then surgery?  ouch.  Talked with more nurses and another dr....they all say tendons rarely heal.....very little blood flow to them.  I have read and read online and see the same.  Not convincing me into spending $450 out of pocket yet!!

My boys....Koda is finally back on track.  He agrees he needs to go to school...yeah!!  I am so happy that I just chilled out and let him find his way (Thanks Beth for the pep talks!!), Jake is a sophomore and playing JV football, and my baby, Steve, is a freshman!!  Literally, I cried the other day when I said this outloud....I cannot believe my babies are so darn old.  How did this happen so fast?!

Steve Sr hurt his back at work....still working just lighter duty and doing therapy....most days are better.

My 3 guys + 4 extras are heading to Cedar Point on Sunday for the day!!  God love my husband....he is the leader and such a trooper.  Leaving here at 8am and should be home by midnight!!
Stevie and I are staying home and I think doing some school clothes shopping and going to dinner and a movie.

Vacation days for me today and yesterday.  Trying to catch up and free my brain of some overload.  Last night we drove to Holland and met my family....Mom & Noel, Dad, Bill & Alyssa, Tim & Barb at West Ottawa High School to watch Jake play football.  It was great to visit and have them all get to see Jake play.
The score....wow....not good.  BUt good times with good company!!  Long long day!!  WE got home around 11pm!!

I am off to get some things done.  XXOO  Peace.
