stories of a real life wonder woman

I guess I should start with a few little updates. I had a last minute Doctor's appointment with my GI this week because I have been having some nausea and discomfort after eating. Though it started as an everyday thing it has become less frequent which is nice but it is still no fun. I went in and my doctor is not really worried. He thinks it might be some sort of stomach bug that is going around but as a precaution he did have me do a gallbladder ultrasound. I am now thinking it could also be stress related since stress can cause a lot of stomach issues and I have been having some weird dreams that also point to me being stressed. Other than that it has been mostly a good week. I got to see some friends that I love spending time with. And we did get some work done on the house. I finished my quilt this week as well. I feel good about that since I said I wanted to have it done by BOND and I have it done before then. I cut most of the t-shirts for the quilt up around 4 years a...

Ya'll I am at such a loss of what to write about this week. It's been such a great week - that I cannot deny. With all the work we have been doing on the house it's also been a tiring week. And I am spent. I enjoyed being able to do absolutely nothing on my birthday. And then going over to mom and dad's (the house they live in - not the project) for homemade pizza followed by watching The Fault in our Stars . I loved seeing Kenny on Saturday. Mom told me she had a surprise for me and though I didn't say it out loud I was hoping the surprise was that Kenny was coming. I loved laughing and getting loud with my family at Angelo's - though I'm not sure everyone else there loved it. :) I enjoyed being able to take pictures of people working on the house since I wasn't able to work as much. But I did work a bit - and I even enjoy how my muscles ache from doing that. I love that my quilt is a few steps away from being done. It will for sure be d...

As I am sure you have seen from the photos on Facebook some major demos have begun on mom and dad's new house. I thought I would answer some already commonly asked questions - except where its at - I'm not posting that on my blog. Yes it is a small house. They plan to add onto the back and put the bedrooms and bathrooms there. They are opening up almost all of the original house. Yes the built ins are all going. I know they were pretty. We kind of thought they were a bit pretty too but they took up way to much space. Mom and dad want an open concept, giant built ins don't help with that. Also dad needs to be able to get everywhere to a wheel chair since you know he is missing a foot. Yes they bought a crappy house for cheap. They bought it because it comes with an acre and 1/3. It's pretty much all wooded and drops down to a gulley. It's sort of like having a park in our backyard even though it can be a little tough to explore because of the drop off. Yes ...

It's been a long but a good weekend. Around Tuesday I got sick with the cold and tried to deny it. But by Thursday I couldn't stop blowing my nose and there was no way around it. Which was unfortunate because that means I was sick during my sisters wedding - that I was in. Thursday was full of finishing stuff for the wedding followed by rehearsal and dinner followed by the bachelorette party. Friday was the wedding madness. Saturday was the brunch for opening the gifts followed by sleeping for three hours and missing the second wedding of the weekend. My cousin got married not far from where my sister's wedding was the night before. And today - Sunday - we went over to mom and dad's new house to clean it up a bit since the people the lived in it died over four years ago and the family was taking care of the estate. Which in this case means the house was still full of stuff. I am on my fourth day of blowing my nose all the time so it's redder than red and it...
