i hurts


my nose hurts. my head hurts. my throat hurts. i just hurt. i came down with a nasty cold last night and of all the weeks to come down with a cold, this week wasn't the best (is there ever a best?). if i had a dime for every time i rolled over to clear my sinuses, i'd be rich. and poor adam, he endured the entire night without one complaint. i have the best husband ever!


the events that took place last week were beyond belief. the day after we returned from visiting my brother and tomi, we received a call from my brother informing us that tomi's doctor found a tumor on her ovary and ran tests to determine if it was cancer. that same day tomi drove herself to the hospital with a migraine that left her lips and fingertips numb. the doctor insisted on a cat scan where it revealed a tumor in her brain the size of a baseball. they operated the next day to remove the tumor that turned out to be the size of a softball! the operation was a true success - an answer to so many prayers. the results came back benign for the tumor on her ovary and we're still waiting for the results on the brain tumor, but the surgeons are confidant that it is also benign. thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.


this week is jam packed with papa george in town, fair week and our trip to Seattle this weekend. i must get better and fast. i'm off to hunt down another bag of halls cough drops and a second box of kleenex...the kind with lotion would be nice.

adjusting


happy one month anniversary to us. one month of endless to-do lists and good use of my new debit card. the yard work is going to be the death of us. we can't keep up with the growing jungle we inherited with the house. the rose bushes must go, i repeat, the rose bushes must go. "ouch. die. ouch. die." add a few naughty words and you get the picture. after using the rest of brenner's curious george band-aids on my thorn wounded legs and arms we made a mad dash to home depot, pier one, and lowe's for some fun home improvements items. it's amazing what a little color and window treatments will do. our house is finally starting to feel and look feng shui. on sunday after grocery shopping for the week and feeding the boys lunch, i attended julie's baby shower. she looks absolutely amazingly cute with only three weeks to go! woo-hoo.


umm, i just signed brenner up for fall soccer. crimany-a! i feel summer passing us by quickly. time to plan and organize our annual camping trip at magone lake with the family. very important. this weekend we're heading to idaho to help my brother and tomi with their massive yard sale - melding is so much work!!! then in august, it's to seattle we go to watch our two favorite baseball teams; mariners vs. boston. go mariners! with any luck we'll plan a fun trip to the coast, portland zoo and camp at some of our favorite local spots.


oh, we got a new toy:
