• It's me!!!

  Hey Everyone!   No,  I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth…   Just a lot of things have been going on….   First of all school is back in session and I am back to driving the schoolbus every day.  That hasn’t been too bad except my shoulder started bothering me almost immediately after I started driving again.  I went to the chiro twice last week with no relief.  I finally got into see my family Dr yesterday morning.  She put me on a medro pak to start taking the inflammation down.  She also gave me some muscle relaxers and pain medication as needed.  I am supposed to keep my shoulder moving so it doesn’t freeze up on me and see her next week unless I am better.  She wanted me to not drive the bus for a week but I can’t do that because the week after next I will be off work while I am in San Diego…   Which brings me to big news number 2….

                  Alex, my son that just graduated High School in June enlisted in the Marines as you all probably remember.  He left for boot camp on June 23^rd.  On September 19^th he will finally be graduating boot camp and will be a Marine!   I am so proud of him.  Next week they have to endure a 54 hour crucible which separates the men from the boys.  He has to pass that in order to earn his Eagle, Globe and Anchor.  Hubby, I , baby, and my oldest daughter will be flying out for his graduation and he will be flying back home with us for a 10 day leave.  Then he will have to go back to San Diego for another 30 days before he goes on to his training school.   I am not sure where that is going to be yet.   I have missed him so much and can’t wait to see him again

                  Big news number 3….    I am a grandma again!!!   My daughter Lily had a beautiful baby boy Wednesday night at 7:27pm.  His name is Ezekiel and he weighed in at a whopping 9# 11.8oz’s!!!   He is 22” long…   He was welcomed into the world by grandma, grandpa and his proud daddy.  My daughter also has 3 little girls that are just ecstatic about having a little brother   The birth was easy and fast and although he was born with the cord around his neck plus a big knot in it, he is perfect.  He was even born with his little fist clenched up tight against his cheek    Mama and baby are doing great and if all goes well will be coming home sometime today…
