exciting week

Wow what an exciting week: work, grandbabies, plays, stitches and all.
I had to work this week but for only two days (tuesday and wednesday).. it was an exciting time. i never thought i'd work with numbers and math instead of nursing full time. i am now doing all of our doctors billing, filling in for our office manager when she is out, and filling in for the other nurse when she needs me too. i got my school books for the first eight weeks the other day and they look pretty interesting. i'm tempted to start reading them but don't want to get burned out prior to the beginning of the end. I graduate in may... from there i go on to the masters in nursing program at liberty university (God willing)..
the grandbabies came over several times this week to play, destroy the house, and run me ragged.. i just wish i could bottle some of their energy and resell it to the elderly. what a fast paced life they would have...
heather, bekah, audrey, and i went to see robbie in a play in manteo today. he played the part of a boy band member. he was sooo great. then i was able to spend time with him and we all went out to lunch... big Al's in manteo rules!!! robbie will be famous one day.... mark my word... he is a great actor.
rob had his stitches taking out today. five of the nine places were cancer and they got all but one spot. he has to go back in a month for a follow up and have the one place re-cut. the first thing he did when he got out to the car was light up a cigarette. i'll never understand... he's still a little tender but he'll survive....
heather is getting bigger, which means daniel is growing!!! she has a glucose tolerant test done tomorrow... yuck... she'll do fine though she always does...
my sister and nephew are in frankfurt germany... they are on to paris tomorrow... i told her to bring me a pebble from paris but i don't know if she will or not... i'll cry if she doesn't... not!! i hope they are having a ball... wish i was there...

babies, surgery, and europe

audrey came over last night with bekah for dinner and to hang out with papa (robert) and me. i took her to show her how we set the bedroom up for her and her new princess bed and she kept touching it saying "audreys bed"... she loved it.. then she would go to the crib and say "bekahs bed". we watched the bee movie and she kept asking if she could "play in her room". i made brats and tater tots for dinner. bekah loved the brats and ate about 1 1/2 while audrey ate about 1/2 and almost the entire plate of tater tots.
Rob is doing okay after his surgery. he looks like a war hero. He is so bull headed and won't take it easy. He wants to go to a car show today but i don't know if he is really up to going. He does have on long pants and is trying to take it easy. He's such a "he-man"...
My sister and nephew are in europe: salisbury to be exact... she wrote me from london yesterday and then again this morning. they are hiking/backpacking across europe and won't be home for about three weeks.. she sucks... i told her to take plenty of pictures and to bring me a pebble from paris.. doubt she'll want to carry a rock around in her already over loaded back pack but who knows...

New adventures, life goes on,

It's been a while since i've last written and boy have things been busy here. First of all Nick has moved to Raleigh, broke up with ashley, and recently moved into an apartment by himself. All I'll say about the break up is he did it, he moved out and left her with almost everything they bought together but his personal items (including the microwave, surround sound system, and furniture) and then she called him complaining that he took a spoon and the shower curtain liner they purchased together. He's met a really nice girl named allie and we all get along great and she makes nick smile... i haven't seen him smile in a long long time... enough said...
my sister and nephew are in europe now. they left the other morning. she emailed me from london and told me that i suck because i didn't write or call her prior to her leaving. she's in london and i suck- seems a bit odd... i told her i want pictures and a lot of them...
Robert had several spots removed today so he isn't feeling all that great. however he just came in the room and told me "i'm going to my garage for a while. I can't just sit around". i guess he is feeling better.
Robbie is still in manteo at the lost colony. he is also working at big al's hamburger place.. he is doing okay but we never see him. okay so he does come home to do laundry but he sleeps the whole time he is here so i don't think that counts.
heather and bud are having a boy this time. they have picked the name daniel keith. so we are having a little boy this time. i keep calling him the boy when i talk about him. i'm glad they finally picked names so i can start calling him daniel. i need to learn the words to the song danny boy so i'll have a song to sing him to sleep with.
I've ordered my school books and hopefuly they will be hee soon... i got to run for now i hear rob powering up the power tools - that can't be a good thing..
