more Randysms

It really has been a while since I posted anything on here. Where to begin. I got a divorce in June 2009. Am dating a really great man. Still driving a school bus. Randy is now in high school. Scottie is in 5th grade. Jordan had a little girl, Adelyn, Aug of 2009. She is the light of her grandma's eye. My little monkey. Jord is going to have another baby the end of April. I would like another little girl cause then I don't have to buy anything new. I love going into the baby aisle again looking for little girls things, it has been a long time since I did that. Life is hectic, trying to juggle work 2 houses and 2 growing boys. There are many days when Bacardi is my best friend. that is why the rum is always gone! It is never dull that is for sure. i try to get Addy every weekend to spend "mama" time with her. She is a little confused she calls me mama amd Jord she calls nana.

Randisms

I really need to start blogging the s**t my son, Randy says. He had me in stitches the other day when we were out riding around trying to find him a bull elk. I kept telling him he can't text and hunt. So my phone blinked and he said "yeah mom!" I told him I wasn't texting, that it was a email. Little time passed and it did it again and he said "what is that a twittle?" I laughed so hard. I told him that it is called a tweet not a twittle. One other time he comes walking out of the bathroom, after brushing his teetha and announces, while he rubs his clean teeth, that it felt like an orgasm in his mouth. How he know that, I don't know and am not sure I want to know. After his aneurysm, he would walk around and sing the circus theme, and the hotwire.com theme.

Sorry!

Ok I knew I would have a hard time keeping up on this thing. It is official I am 36 now. Randy tried to make me 56. Scottie can't believe I am that old, not sure how old he really thinks I am. Birthday's aren't a big deal anymore. Maybe when 40 comes. Not much is new around here. Randy and Scottie just got done playing Junior Jazz basketball. Both seemed to enjoy it. It was amazing to see Rand playing, a little heartbreaking also. Seems like I am so busy during the week at work and then when the weekend comes everything around the house seems so overwhelming, and well, it doesn't seem to all get done either. Bought myself a treadmill for my birthday. Trying very hard to use it everyday. Now all I am doing is waiting for the end of March so we can go to Vegas and go to Monster Jam again. Not sure how I will feel being there again. But it will be fun and I am sure the boys will enjoy it again just like last year. Just grateful Randy's aneurysm happened after the show. Scott is still working in Nevada. Not out of the country this year. He has a better work schedule. He is on 2 weeks and off 2. Before he got to come home when ever. Rand had another band concert last night. He plays in the percussion section. Sorry for the blurry pic!

Ok Christmas went good. We spent it in Arizona. It wasn't as warm down there as I was hoping it would have been, but it was definitely warmer than here. We stopped in at the hospital in Vegas to see if some of the nurses were on duty and to let them see how Randy has come along in the almost 9 months since his aneurysm. They were all just amazed to see him and to see that there was no permanent damage done. I had to have my gall bladder removed on Monday the 29th. All went good. They did a scope to see if there was any acid reflux that is sometimes associated with gall bladder problems and they found a hernia and a polyp in my stomach. The polyp was removed and I will have to talk with the surgeon when I go in for a check up in 2 weeks about the hernia. I am doing good. Pretty sore but no major pain. As long as I keep popping the pills it helps. So that is how I am spending the remainder of our Christmas break. As Carrie said "Only you would schedule a surgery so you wouldn't have to take time off from work." I am trying to get emloyee of the year! LOL!

Just a blog to get everyone up to speed on Randy. After the anuerysm happened we spent 16 days in Las Vegas. On April 15th (Tues night) we flew out of vegas to Salt Lake to go to Primary Childrens. When Randy got there he couldn't sit up, hold his head up or talk. We had only been there a day and he was sitting up on his own ( well with alittle help) he smiled for the first time when he saw his Dad. Scott had to drive our truck up from Vegas. By Saturday of that same week he was saying words. On Sunday when I had got down there he had ordered his own breakfast. Everyday he would get better and better. He loved to get out of bed and stand. Then when he could get to walk that was even better. He just progressed so fast after we got to Salt Lake. On May 2nd he walked out of the Hosp. on his own. What a Mother's Day present that was. He was in Hospitals a total of 32 days after the injury. He is amazing! He hated this summer though. He had to do speech, occupational therapies and then we started having a teacher come in and help get him going on catching up on school work. We thought we would have to modifiy his school day and only let him go a couple of hours a day but he has gone all day long since the end of August. He made honor roll the first quarter. He is just a miracle. He still needs a little help with his speech (his thoughts don' t flow out like he wants them too) and with his right hand he needs help with too. He is just doing really well. The doctors in Vegas told us it would be a long recovery and healing. Randy just had to prove them wrong!

First blog ever

Well here goes! So much had happened to our family this year it is hard to write about all of it. Scott's Great-Grandma passed away at the beginning of this year. Our Randy had a brain anuerysm at the end of March. We had a flood in our basement in May. Jordan graduated from High School in May. We had a car accident the end of August. Jordan moved to Arkansas the first of October. And I will finish the year with having gallbladder surgery the end of December. That is our 2008 novel in a nut shell. So much has happened! I am so thankful everyday that I still have all my children and my husband. It is amazing how you can have things happen and can survive and learn from them.
