Accident with the garden hose

Yesterday I had a bit of a freak accident with the garden hose. It was all tangled up on one of those things that winds them up and I was trying to untangle it when the one metal end went flying at me directly for my left eye. The pain was unbelievable. I was home alone with the kids, I finally got a hold of Jason and he took me to the ER. I was afraid I had scratched my cornea. The checked me out and numbed my eye and said I did not scratch my eye just badly bruised my eyeball and eyelid. They said my contacts probably saved my eyeball from getting scratched. Now it looks like I was in a fight my eyelid and the corner of my eye is all black and blue. I am not going to be playing with the hose for awhile. Kids are doing good. Jason took today and tomorrow off from work a little vacation time.

Swimming update

Well they both did not pass their swimming lessons, but they did really good and made improvements from last year. Plus they had fun!!! We are taking them again later in the summer at the end of July. Nik is doing better at trying to ride his bike he just needs to pratice more which is hard to get him to do. He does pretty good in the grass we just need to get him on the sidewalk and driveway. He keep on telling him to pedal fast, which he has a tendency to go too slow. This is one time we want him to go faster and he has a hard time doing it. Go figure. Jason took Nik to go hiking at Nelson's Ledges. They had a lot of fun and came back very dirty. Tomorrow is my mom's b-day so Happy Birthday Mom!!! We will have a little celbration tomorrow and in July we are helping her paint some of the rooms in her house with my sister and brother helping. Tuesday my mom and I are providing pet sitting for The Captains game. They have a bring your dog to a game night and they needed some pet sitters to help out when the guest need to get food or use the restroom they can't bring their doggies. Hopefully it will give me some more business. Supposed to be a hot week so stay cool.

Happy Father's Day. I bought the kids a pool some cute picc of them using it this weekend. They had a lot of fun with their swimming lessons they did not want them to end. This week will be the last week. I will probably sign them up for another session later in the summer. Jason got an Itunes card and some cologne from the kids for Father's Day. He took Nik to the park, and both of them to the beach for a little while. The kids and I went to my dads for a little bit. The had a lot of fun. Jimmy took Nik in the pond and Nik was scared. Nik still can't swim yet. Though he almost knows how to ride his bike, he can go a little while in the grass before he falls. I am sure he will be riding around everywhere in no time. Jimmy also fished with Nik in the pond. Nik got a big catfish, he was so proud.

swimming lessons

Today was the first day of swimming lessons. They did pretty good. Rachel was afraid to jump off the diving board she said she would if I got her googles, so I did. The kids were pretty good the first half of the day then they started fighting and beating the crap out of each other. Typical kids. We extended their bedtimes for the summer 15 minutes. Have a nice week.

Rachel graduated to 4th grade!!!

Rachel is done with 3rd grade and she was promoted to 4th grade. She got an excellent report card all A's and B's. She had 5 A's and 3 B's. She got her math grade up to a B. So very proud of her. Summer vacation offialy starts. Next week I start swimming lessons with the kids. Hot last couple of days going to be cooler this weekend. Have nice weekend no pics today.

Devyn's 3rd Birthday Party

 


Today we went to Devyn's 3rd birthday party. He is Danielle's oldest. They had a clown that did balloons and a few magic tricks. The kids really seemed to enjoy it. Rachel got a balloon flower and Nik a sword. The picture is not the best thats what you get with the camera phones. Though I am sure they are better now. My phone is almost 2 years old. Jason is back from Florida, he made it safely back last night. Kids were very happy especially Nik. He was so bad this week and he said it was because daddy was gone. This week Rachel and I were both sick. Rachel got sick first then I did. At first I thought she just had a cold. They sent her home Tuesday from school. She seemed fine the evening and the next morning so I sent her to school. That evening she came down with a 101.7 temp and a really sore throat, headache, stomach ache etc. So I thought great strep again. I planned on taking her to the doctor. Thursday I woke up and felt like death. My temp was over 101, sore throat, bad head ache and neck ache. So I thought great I have strep too. I was going to my regular doctor that day for a recheck on my BP in the AM so I called to make sure they could do a strep test. They said sure. Well I had the strep test done no strep same for Rachel. He said it was just a really bad cold. Good news the blood pressure meds are working my BP was 117/78 and I have lost 9 lbs. He is keeping me on the BP meds, he gave me a month of free samples and then gave me a 1 year scrip. He wants to to come back in a year when I get my physical. I finally started to feel better on Saturday. Rachel started to feel better on Friday and went to school.On Friday Rachel went with Auntie Kim for a girls evening for her birthday. Kim was in town for a few things. They had lots of fun got their nails done. Went out to dinner and got ice cream. Auntie Kim and Uncle Jay got her a cool little fountain that changes colors and steams. Its really neat I will take a pic of it soon. She also got a cute white jean skirt. Well this week is busy. I have a lot of pet sitting and meetings with some new cilents. Summer is a busy time of year for the business. Rachel's last day of school is Friday she goes a half day. Then she is a fourth grader!!! Have a nice week!
