I admit I have been a total blogger slacker as of late. I guess everything that has been going on in our lives, finally has been catching up with me, and I've just not been motivated to write about it, 2008 has not been our year...the latest bit of fun has been battling Ariana's head lice. Yup, you read right, head lice. As most of you that know me well now, I'm borderline OCD when it comes to cleanliness, both in my home and my children. I mean these children have had at least 1 bath every day of their lives, to the point of even if we've been gone late and they've fallen asleep in the car, we wake them up to give them a bath. So for Ariana to have lice has darn near pushed me over the proverbial cliff I've been hanging from since Rick got hurt the middle of May. Couple that with Rick's injury, his other "health" issue we had on our vacation and I'm just ready to run away to Mexico! I know I AM thankful that all of this is only temporary, but all in such a short time frame is a little overwhelming. Whoosh, I feel better!
Good news, we did get to escape for a few days to the beach and the children had a great time. Ariana AND Evan boogie boarded their little hearts out and even braved the jelly fish infestation, Ariana got stung once next to her belly button, that didn't even stop them! Rick played 9 holes of golf with Mike and we tried to relax.
Ariana started 2nd grade as soon as we got back and the boys started Pre-K and Mother's Day Out this week. Horseback riding, T-ball, Junior League, PTA are all back in full swing and I'm thankful for the long weekend and our upcoming trip to mecca (aka Stillwater!) this Sunday with the Ring family!
The biggest news of late is that Rick had that screw removed (from his leg, we all know that he'd lost a screw in his head some time ago.) this past Tuesday. He finally convinced Dr. Kammerlocher that he didn't need to be "knocked out" for him to remove it and that he didn't want anymore hardware installed if it wasn't totally necessary. So it came out and he's showing that damn thing to anyone that will look at it!!! He's beginning to wean himself from the boot and will probably be buying a new set of tennis shoes this weekend, the first complete set since May! We are so thankful for his continued healing!
Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers, Lord knows we need them to finish out 2008!
Off to boil more sheets and towels, oye!

I'm currently awaiting our first infestation from funky classmates. It should be very grand.
OH LEZEL!!! Head lice??? I can NOT even begin to imagine...I think I'd just sell the house...and the kids! Hee hee of course! And with ALL of Ariana's hair!! How horrible! I'm knocking on wood RIGHT now! I'm so glad Rick got the pin out! Can't wait to see it :) Glad you guys enjoyed your trip! You needed it desperately...although I'm sure it was no real "vacation" for you! Hopefully this long weekend will involve a whole lot of nothin' ....except your trip to Mecca :)
Great, now we're know as having "funky" and not in the good way!
That's alright...everyone needs a good dirty girl in the group to blame everything on and now we have one...hahahaha!!! Just remember when the infestation hits my house...we're coming over to SHARE!! I'm glad you survived!
