Just wondering

I am just a little upset. I have been hearing at work from other people that have had injuries that I am not suppose to be taking patients. I have been on light duty on and off since December 21. During this time I have only missed one day of work and have always taken a full load of patients. I have not made a big deal out of anything except for floating. When I float the other people aren't so accepting. They don't want to do my lifting and are just mean. I spoke with Janna Armentrout, the Associate Health Coordinator and she said she fixed it so if I were taking patients I wouldn't float. I did float last Friday. I was suppose to float on Monday and refused. Then I spoke with my boss who acted very shocked. Then in the coordinator's meeting she told all the coordinators that that I wasn't suppose to float. She told me she was going to get it clarified and then let me know, but I haven't heard one word from her.
Then last Wednesday is when I went to see Dr. Jones. He decided that I need to go to a surgeon and need to get it cleaned out so I can heal. He called Janna before I left the office. Today is over a week later and I haven't heard one word. I tried to get in touch with her 3 times yesterday and was unable. I called today and she still wasn't available. I left a message for her to call me back. I am getting really irritated with the whole thing.

Why is it so hot???

So it has been either so hot that the boys don't want to play outside or we have had thunderstorms and they can't play outside. On Monday afternoon we headed to the TT Wentworth Museum so that they could play in the cool air conditioning. This was the first time that Kev had ever been there and he was super impressed with it being free and all the neat things there.

Luke lost his egg

Joey needs 3 guns to protect himself from the enemy. Luke is still looking for his egg.

Luke is going to start mopping at home.

This evening we headed down to Palafox Pier for the concert and so the boys could play in the water. This evening the special guest was Elmo. Now Luke would have nothing to do with Mickey or Minnie Mouse, but he gave Elmo 5 a few times. We couldn't get any pictures with Luke and Elmo because he was very quick around him.

Big brothers

Today while I slept from work last night, the boys got a long really well. Kev said that both the boys played outside. He said that he needed to get some work done in the house and the only way it was going to happen was if he put them out to play. So he constantly checked on them and cleaned things up. Well he watched Joey help Luke out of a lot of sticky situations. At one point he looked out and didn't see Luke so he looked out the window by Joey's window and noticed that Luke was stuck. Well here comes Joey "Daddy, Luke is stuck and he is crying and he needs your help." Luke had climbed on the reel for the garden hose and got his leg stuck. Kev went out and got him and brought him in and changed his diaper. Right as he was finishing up, here comes Joey with 2 cups of applesauce and 2 spoons. He told Kev that him and Luke were going to have a snack. They sat at the table eating their applesauce and Joey explained "Luke, I remember when I was a little kid I got stuck there and I cried. It is OK. You just got to learn what you can do."
That is what I want for my boys more than anything.

Growing Watermelon

Growing watermelon is very interesting work. You see they start out as small plants and they get very long and they bloom a ton and you think that you have no watermelon. Then one day the man of the house threatens to tear down the plants because they have covered the walk way. So the woman of the house goes out and finds watermelon. Then she watches the few watermelon and then goes digging and finds more. The neighbors may love us. We might be able to share a lot with the neighbors. I counted 11 today. We might have to bring some watermelon to Ohio. If they hurry up and grow which I can see them get bigger everyday.

This is the watermelon patch

This is the biggest watermelon we have growing.

The gardener and his watermelon.

Today we went to Publix. I am really enjoying Publix and don't mind driving to Gulf Breeze once a week to get groceries. I really like the meat selection and the organic selection. We do try to get organic when we can. I guess that is why we have taken up gardening and raising watermelon. Today I got some ice cream cake which Luke loves. I ask Luke if the cake was good and he shook his head yes. Then I said "Yeah, I like it too!" He shook his head no and said "No!No!No!" Apparently, I am not allowed to like ice cream cake.

Don't touch my cake!!! If you want some get your Mommy to get you some.

We had our evening walk after dinner tonight. It was nice. We were able to get out after it rained and the weather was delightful. After our evening walk Luke went straight to bed. He loves a good walk. He did have his bath after dinner, but before our walk.

Did someone say birthday cake????

This the cake my boys made me. When I cut it, Joey said "Mom, you just cut me. That cake was my face!"Give me that cake now.

Joey got frosting on his chest, he ask me if I'd lick it off. Yes me and Kev laughed at him.

He was so happy it was my birthday and there was cake.

This is my normal smiley Luke David, but rarely do we get a picture of him.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Today I turned 34, I believe I have learned a lot over those years. I was ask what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said "I want to go to the Emerald Coast Science Museum!" So we headed there today and had an amazing time. After the museum we went to AJ's to eat some lunch. The boys and I had fish (yummy) and daddy had a hamburger. It was a great visit.

My boys and my presents. Joey insisted on getting me a pancake puff pan and Luke got me Operation so I could have a new shoulder.

Luke was so upset because he wanted that ball.

This afternoon Kev and the boys have been baking a cake for me. It is going to be a chocolate cake and Joey is going to put white frosting on it and sprinkles.

Luke likes to help bake a cake.

Thank Goodness for Kind People

I am feeling like the worst mother in the world tonight. Tonight was
the only night in a few months that my husband and myself could go
out. We were getting things ready and waiting on the babysitter. My
husband jumped in the shower and I ran to the bathroom. I am about to
leave the bathroom(my whopping 2 minute pee break), when the dogs
start barking. I assumed the babysitter was here. Now some guardian
angel was so kind to stop and bring back my boys. We had the garage
door up, because the sitter was coming. Joey supposedly went out the
door to find me and left it open so Luke followed him
and was walking on the road. This kind lady stopped and brought them
to my front door. I was so angry and thankful at the same time. I
feel like the worse mother in the world right now. Joey said he was out by the road, because Luke was out there and he was trying to get him to come back.
We still went on our date. The boys were great for the sitter. We had a great time.
