Photo Catch Up

I downloaded all of the photos off of my camera card… the pictures on my phone are still there! Really too bad since there are some good ones on there… I will get them on here at some point!

These pictures go back to January, and some could have their own post and others are just fun filler posts.

For sake of time!

They are all going right here:

PICTURE OVER LOAD!

Yesterday I started back to my 10 hour school day! Oh, MY!

It’s a long day, but its nice to be with friends, and feeling knowledge flow in to my brain, discussing sometimes debating with others about beliefs and feelings on various subjects, sometimes hot button issues.  It’s nice to have a “safe” environment to defend your beliefs and opinions.  I know the kids have a great day with daddy.  Yesterday, I left them all a  love note, when I got home Katy asked me about the love list I left with red marker.  I love that she is old enough to get things like that.

We have been busy running errands and preparing for Patrick’s SECOND birthday! Yup, he is going to be 2! My goodness!   2 years have flown by.  He is very excited (as is Katy) for his monkey party!   Need to plan the menu and shop for that this week, and I still have favors and his banner to make.  More on that later

Katy’s G tube site is looking FANTASTIC… I hate to even write that for fear of jinxing us.

Mike and I  ( really just Mike, since I have not been feeling 100% for the past couple days) has been working hard on our house to simplify.  Which makes my heart happy and clears my mind.  It also, is a reminder that as long as we have a house full of babies… it’s never going to perfect, and you know what I am OK with that.  As long as the house is clean a little clutter won’t kill us… I am just trying to keep the clutter to  a minimum.  Basically, I want our home completely livable and comfortable for Patrick and whoever comes to care for him, when we get “THE CALL” which is why I think it has been so high on my to do list.

Speaking of “THE CALL” we are trying to prepare as best we can, I mean its nearly impossible to plan for something that you don’t know when its going to happen.  But, we have a semi plan in place and I am feeling comfortable with that.

Sorry I don’t have any new pictures to share… all has been kind of boring around here.  I should have some fun snow pictures by the end of the week! It sounds like we are getting hit hard!! Super excited for that, but it is making my birthday errand schedule a bit cramped.

So I am trying my hand at this method of blogging. Lots of bloggers use this method of writing when they have a lot to say of a bunch of random thoughts. I imagine this is going to more like a glorified facebook status update. Some of these topics I may come back to and write a more in depth blog entry on one or more of these topics. So maybe this is a spring board for future posts, maybe not. But there are so many thoughts, and time sensitive things I want to share.

So Katy’s benefit at the Shannon Door was amazing!!! Jimmy and Kimmy Keys!!! Rocked the House!!! The Mulkern Family and the generous people of Jackson, NH. I renewed my faith in humanity.

My awesome husband graciously ok not so graciously stopped at a few outlets on the way home and I got some super adorable shoes at LL Bean for $4.49. I can’t wait to wear them tomorrow!!

Speaking of tomorrow… I will be taking Katy to her transplant clinic ALONE! Usually Mike and I both go, but it’s not very fair to Patrick and we don’t expect any real decisions to be made. Other than pulling the damn NG tube.

Mike will spend the time unpacking and organizing our house since it looks like a bomb went off… Looking forward to getting everything cleaned and organized before we head back to NH for the Murphy/Mulkern/ Riley invasion of Storyland! CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

Tomorrow evening Make a Wish is coming to plan our trip to Disney. Although the thought of seeing K & P enjoying Disney in such a magical way… the reason they are given this opportunity breaks my heart.

I completed my first year at Bay Path I finished with an A and B…not so happy with the B, but considering the session I had. I am actually pretty impressed with myself. It was a long, hard, emotional session. I am happy its behind me and am looking forward to the time off. Classes start back 9/18/10. Currently I am planning to go back…all of that depends on when Katy’s new ticker arrives.

So, that’s all for now! Let me know what you think about this style of blogging!
