Finally, a day I don’t have to be anywhere. It seems like for the past few weeks, I have had to be SOMEWHERE every day. That gets very old fast. The kids do want to see Prince Caspian today, so if we get done homeschooling, we might head off to do that.

I think I’m going to take some time and maybe make some new graphics for my website. I downloaded the new PSP PhotoX2 and it is very cool. Haven’t checked out all of the bells and whistles yet, but it seems like it can do so much more than my PSP7. I also need to make a video of my 6th grade class pictures. I thought I’d do that for them as a year-end present from me. That will take me at least 8 hours by the time I sort through all of those pictures.

As for the new meds for my heart, well, last Monday I wasn’t feeling very well. I couldn’t exactly describe what I was feeling, but I knew it wasn’t right. So for the 1st time ever, I got a substitute for school and took the day off on Tuesday. I really needed the break from children in general and my body needed the rest and quiet. It did so much good for me. I am doing better and adjusting to this beta blocker, but what is this going to do to my work-outs?? I’m not going to burn as many calories. The doctor said, “Well, you are going to have to eat less.” ((WHAT??)) I already feel like I am doing that and now more? So I’m going to have to pray about this because it will bum me out if I gain weight with this medicine.

Ok…I must go and get the day started! Have a great weekend friends! Oh wait…can you say HOT??? They are forecasting in the 100’s today. ((WHAT??)) Are they kidding? It’s not even July yet.

….4 weeks and school is OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited. I guess I just get burned out this late in the year. My son is graduating 8th grade this year and there seems to be so many class activities. I feel like I’m carrying my calendar around non-stop just keeping up with them.

How was everyone’s Mother’s Day. I ended up taking my MIL and Rich’s grandmother to lunch. We had a really nice time with good conversation. I even got to see my step-son yesterday. Can’t believe he’s all grown up.

For those of you that asked. My heart is doing much better. The doctor ended up putting me on a beta blocker to control my irregular heart beats. Seems to be working much better than my medicine before. He’s holding off on sending me to the cardiologist and electro physiologist for now. Should that end up happening they might could request surgery again on my heart. This time, they would go in through the other side of the heart. More risky, but to me, worth it. Anything to feel better and not have this anxiety all the time about whether my heart is going to act up.

I hope you all have a great week, it will be busy for me.

Hugs to you all!

Gosh…when you see a title “Thankful” it usually tells me the person is really reflecting on all that God has given them and what they are thankful for. God says to come into his courts with PRAISE and THANKSGIVING and well, thats what I’m doing today….

Thankful for…

*my friends! I am just loving blogging again and reconnecting daily with some of my good friends that I’ve lost touch with in the last year.
*my husband! How many of you have a husband that LOVES to cook. I am so thankful he does and hey, I’m not a bad Kitchen cleaner-upper girl either! LOL
*my son Cam! Happy Birthday SON! (((What????))) you are 14???? Already???? He’s been such a good son/kid lately despite the teen hormones and yes….I’m so thankful for that.
*my home! Sometimes we just take our home for granite when there are so many out there that really don’t have a home to call home! So yes….sometimes I’m discontent, and we all get that way, but I choose to see the good in my home and not the flaws.

This week I’m going to take pictures of my new rock rose garden I’m building (or my husband is building). I got the idea from Felicia whom is always showing before and after pictures. I think she has me beat now and is the queen! So I’m going to take a picture of the rock wall already built (darn it, didn’t think to take a before) but….I can take a picture of after I plant all the rose bushes and that’s what I’m going to do. I think I have room for 20 or so.

Lastly….some of you asked me what breed our puppies are. They are 1/2 Labrador and 1/2 Viszla. They are Hungarian Hunting Dogs. And well…here’s an (((((awwwwwwwwwwww))))) moment. Check these picsl out. One of the pics is of Taylor, the tan one, who we found just laying out on the lounger by the pool. TOOO FUNNY~~~~~~~~~ Click on the pics to see the bigger one.

Until we meet again!
