Wow 2 posts in 1 month already!

Well, I can't believe I am actually blogging already again lol! However, I will have to do a post of its own for pictures as I haven't got time to upload any right now. So.....where to begin? Although I miss my co-workers and having a work routine being off on medical leave with my boys has been awesome! I thought I would go nuts but we have found our own routine and have been sooo busy! Granted things take me more time being one handed but it still has been awesome. We have had so many playdates already and they have only been home with me for two weeks. We have been to the splash pad too many times to count with good friends and even by ourselves, we have been to the splashpad and pool and even to Old McDonalds Farm. I love being woken up in the morning to Payton sneaking in my bed to cuddle and turn on sesame street only to have his brother start yelling mom ten minutes later. I love our outings together and really seeing them learn new things. I never thought I would want to be a stay at home mom because I really love my job as a nurse and I really love where I work but man, its sooooo tempting! I know there will be tears on both our parts when I go back to work. Payton even has been saying "I no go see my friends mom" when he thinks we are going to daycare.....:( I love spending time with them and it is so different from when I was on maternity leave, by the end of my leave I was sad to leave each of them but ready to get back to the adult world and have some routine, but I think its so different now that they are older. I absolutely am cherishing this time with them. I know I have to go back to work soon and am hoping that my wrist is healing because I know our department has been so short lately, I don't want to add to everyone's stress but it will be bittersweet. Until I get the okay from the doctor I am resting my wrist and making every day count with my boys. Well, enough for now! We have a sleepover with cousins Hannah and Noah tonight, splashpad tommorrow and maybe even Old McDonalds Farm, and Friday we are relaxing at home with a busy weekend to come. Hope everyone is staying cool!

We are alive!

Oh my word. Talk about a lack of blogging! Since my last post....ummm in April.....so much has happened! Lets see....May, I graduated with my Masters Degree in Nursing from Allen which was such a good feeling and then two days later we left for a week of sun in Florida with my whole family. It was alot of fun, we went to Sea World, Busch Gardens, Gatorland, and Universal River walk along with lots of swimming and a fun day at the beach. When I got back from Florida I went full time at my current job (hello student loans) and have just been keeping my eyes open for a good teaching job if one should arise. However, I do really like what I do now so it would have to be a very good oppurtunity to leave. However, I feel really bad for all of my coworks right now because one month from being full time I am now on medical leave...Ya...you heard it...now I am off work for awhile. Back in March when we moved into our new home I was helping push our couch into the trailer it dropped and snapped my wrist down. Well being a nurse and a procastinator I put it off as a bad sprain or bone bruise..well...after finally listening to my family doctor and seeing a hand specialist with xrays and an MRI later...I have a partial cartilage tear, ligament tear, and I tore the covering off of one of my bones slightly. So...now I have to wear this huge immobilizer for one month, get cortisone shots, and then see how I feel. If after one month things are not improved....then comes surgery (yuck!). The only positive that is come out of this is that my boys will not be going to daycare for the time I am home so I get lots of special time with two of my favorite people! I have never been able to stay home with my boys so I feel as if this is a special treat (minus the use of one arm and some soreness). Plus, I save alot of money with not sending them! Hmmmm....now up to this last weekend. We had so much fun! Saturday we went to the splash pad with the Ashlines ( and the boys favorite little buddy Jackson) and then to the Olin fireworks....which were by far the best I have ever seen! Then Sunday we went to the cabin for family time and the boys had such a blast! Boys sure will be boys, our tub was black Sunday night after washing all the dirt off of them. Then Sunday night we went to a glow in the dark golf tournament ( I was basically just the cheerleader) with the Ashlines again! Then on Monday we went swimming at the beach with them! What a weekend! Now its recovery and cleaning mode since our house looks like a torando came thru it! I hope to get better at blogging with the upcoming time home I have however typing one handed can take awhile so they may be short and sweet :) Hope everyones summer is going great! New pictures to come!
