Star Wars

We drove from Brooklyn Center Minnesota to Chicago Illinois back in August 17,2001 to attend Wizard World Comic Con just so we could attend the Faces behind the Mask exhibit.

My husband is a big Star Fans he has seen all the movies many of times,collected the comics,collected the star wars action figures. He also played with them when he was a kid. So because we are such big Star Wars fans in this house we stood inline for over 6 hours to meet the actors that played. Bobba Fett ,Chewbacca,Darth Vader,R2D2,Wicket.

I would love to be given a chance as a Bzz Agent to be chosen to be in the Star Wars Blu-Ray campaign.

So I went to the Dentist today and found out I have to have a tooth extracted and then another tooth needs a root canal and a crown. Now to wait for the prior authorization from insurance. So I have another 3 weeks of my mouth being in constant pain.

March 06, 2011

It's been 18 years

18 years ago on March 5,1993 I married my best friend Kevin.

 I can't believe in 2 years we will be married 20 years. 

We didn't do much today except stay home and watch a couple of movies. Once I am finally feeling better and we get to go to the Twin Cities we plan on going to Outback Steak House to celebrate our union.


March 03, 2011

Relieved

Kevin had his colonoscopy today and he was told that his test didn't detect anything. Thanks to God !!


March 02, 2011

Pictures

I haven't been taking that many pictures this year. I do have a few and will hopefully share some next week. Sorry my blog is mainly me writing a brief rundown of my day. I finally decided to charge the battery to my DSLR so hopefully I will be more in the mood to take pictures of life.

March 01, 2011

Icy Roads

Glad we made it safely to and from W this evening. The roads we so icy but unfortunately we needed some stuff for Kevin's liquid diet that starts tomorrow. I pray that the colonoscopy he has scheduled for Thursday shows that everything is OK and if it's something it's totally treatable.

February 28, 2011

Found Out what is Wrong

Went to the Doctor today and was told I have a sinus infection and a left ear infection as well as my chest is tight. So I was given 3 medicines and told I should start to feel better in a few days.

I sure hope so because it's hard being miserable and sick when you are a mom.

February 27, 2011

Still sick

I'm still miserable so calling the Dr in the morning to make an appointment, hopefully they have an opening. Because between this and the ongoing toothache that won't be fixed until March 7,2011  I feel like poop.

February 26, 2011

Sick again

I hate being sick during the winter time especially since it messes with my asthma. Hopefully I will be better before Monday if not I guess I will be calling the Doctor,


February 23, 2011

Snowing Again

Good News!

Junior had his sedation hearing tests yesterday  it took 2 doses of Chloral Hydrate before he drifted off into Dream Land. 


They performed 2 different tests the Auditory Brainstem Response and the Oto-Acoustic Emission.


Thanks to God we where told that our little boy doesn't need hearing aids and has good hearing!!! 


It took 25 mins to get Junior to wake up out of the sedation sleep  so he could be released from the Dr. then he went back to sleep at 3:30 and woke up at 7:30pm.


We feel so blessed to know that his hearing is good. Now to figure out why he still isn't talking much, he babbles all the time in a loud voice and he does talk some and know's quite a few words but he doesn't always use them. He has finally started saying Please and Thank You without being prompted too. I know he has Sensory Disorder but when I ask what else is happening with him I'll told we don't know other then Delayed Development. We were told before he isn't autistic but somedays I wonder if the doctors were wrong. I guess I will just have to keep making sure he continues with the help he is already getting and find out if there is anything else we can do for our son.

February 17, 2011

Still Shaken and Yet So THANKFUL Tonight!

I don't even now how to put this into words. I'm still shaken about what happened this afternoon and what may of happened to our family today. Around 3:00 pm my hubby Kevin went on the roof of the garage to get the Snow off the house. About 15 minutes later I hear him screaming MELISSA call 911 call 911 NOW!!! First thing that came to my mind was he must of fallen off the roof which would have been bad in itself but it turned out it was worse.

My husband  accidentally hit the GAS Line or in Our case Propane Line to our House. Kevin the children and I went to the Catholic Church until Help arrived. The Rescue Squad came they turned off the Propane and told us they would have to get a couple parts and come back and fix the line. Which they did and we were able to go back inside the house and resume our normal routine. I'm still scared of the What If's I could have lost my husband today :( our house could have Exploded with us in it. Thanks to The Good Lord Above he saved my FAMILY and Protected Us.

I ask anybody reading this too PLEASE be Careful around GAS Lines,Propane Lines,Electric Lines because you never know when something Like this will Happen.

February 16, 2011

Splish Splash

I love that Junior is loving taking a bath again. For a while from November to January he would freak out when I put him in the tub and cry until he was done. So I'm happy this phase only lasted a few months.

Now for the last 2 weeks he has started loving the water again and tonight when he was in the tub he was slapping at it and dropping his toys and splashing. He was happy as can be which makes mama happy.

February 15, 2011

Melting

The snow in our yard is melting away and by the weekend more than 40% of it will be gone. I'm so looking forward to Spring time I love Winter but after having frozen pipes 3 times this Winter I so ready for 50 degree weather.

3 Years Ago

On February 8,2009 I attend the 51st Grammy Award's it was a surreal moment.  Every year since when the Grammy Award's are televised it just brings back great memories. Thank You to my hubby for winning this Awesome contest and for Best Buy for allowing me to attend as a Guest since my hubby had to forfeit his title of Winner since he was Deployed to Iraq during that time.

February 12, 2011

Brr It's Cold In Here!

Woke up to our Furnace not working and 58 degrees inside and -15 with a WC of  -38 outside.
Called around to ask what might be wrong since the furnace is 2 year old and it was kicking on. Well after 2 hours Kevin was told to go outside and make sure none of the piping was froze. We it was so Kevin cleared it off and about 15 to 30 minutes later the warm air started flowing into our home again.

I was so Happy when we got heat again because when Kevin was deployed the kids and I went 4 days without a working furnace in December and it's sucked royally. That and heat is so important in Minnesota this time of the year.

February 07, 2011

Toothache

I don't like toothaches :( I'm in so much pain. I currently have a chip in a tooth that hurts like no tomorrow.

I'm praying I can get an appointment soon. Hopefully the local dentist in the next town over has an opening.

I can tolerate my Fibro pain,my shoulder and carpal tunnel but I can't for the life of me deal with toothache pain.

My 39th Birthday!

Today began the final chapter of my 30's in 365 days I will be the BIG 40. I look forward to see what this year will bring. Thank You Lord for all the ups and downs these last 39 years. And for blessing me with a Loving Family! 


I feel so blessed to have so many friends and family on facebook. I appreciate all the Birthday Wishes I received today :-) All their posts brought a huge smile to my face. I had a nice 39th birthday with my family and enjoyed watching the Super Bowl game. I even watched Glee for the first time and loved the Thriller performance.

February 05, 2011

Girl Scout Cookies

Ashllie had her monthly Girl Scout meeting today.

Which also included picking up the 178 boxes of cookies we ordered for her to sell,currently they are sitting in the kitchen waiting for Ashllie and Kevin to go out and sell,sell,sell.

February 04, 2011

Warmer Temps

Today was a nice day the temperature got up to 34 degrees. I was able to wear shorts and a tee shirt outside without a jacket. That and I was able to take a few pictures of the snow we have in the yard and of the swing that is backyard that is buried in the snow, I love when the temps warm up if only for a few days in the winter time.

February 03, 2011

Junior went to school today and did good with his physical therapy.

Weather Back Home in South Texas

Lord Jesus, Please watch over my Family and Friends and Everyone in the Rio Grand Valley of South Texas! 
Please keep them warm and safe! They are not use to this weather and it's really hard for them. 
This weather is devastating to the farmers and workers in the fields,please watch over the crops. AMEN!!

February 01, 2011

Audiology

Junior had a Audiology appointment today.

 He wasn't able to get the proper test because Junior was babbling too much and wouldn't sit still.
Also he freaked out when the door was closed to the sound booth,even though I was with him he was scared. Junior has sensory disorders and certain things freak him out.

We were told by the Audiologist that in order to check Junior's hearing and make sure he isn't
 hearing impaired that we will need to make an appointment with his ENT and schedule a sedation hearing test.

 That way they can make sure he is OK , especially since Junior is 3 years old and is talking at about a 18 month old level and has a older sister that is hearing impaired.

January 31, 2011

So Happy

As Junior says Hip Hip Hooray!!!! The part for the mini-van is in and Kevin will be coming home tonight.
 He has been gone since Thursday morning to Guard at Camp Ripley and they were released yesterday
 morning but he couldn't leave because the mini-van has been at the shop since Friday. I will be sooo Happy
 to see my Hubby this Mommy needs a break from a Loveable little Clingy Boy and Stubborn Preteen :)

Van

Hubby is at Drill and Van isn't working.

I pray the part comes in on Monday. If not who knows when hubby will be home. I wish the van would have messed up when he was home not 2 1/2 hours away. At least they are lending him a curiosity car till our van is fixed.

I miss my hubby even though it's only been since Thursday morning that has been gone. Normally it wouldn't even phase me, since I'm use to him being gone with the military but this time around Junior has been extra clingy at least I have Ashllie here as well to help with clingy boy.

January 28, 2011

Dentist Appointment

I've been having a horrible toothache for the last 3 weeks and went to the Dentist today. It was so worth the 2 hour drive to and 2 hour drive home to get that painful tooth extracted out of my mouth. Currently in pain but hope to start feeling better soon.

January 14, 2011

Doctor's Appointment

Ashllie went to the ENT today and was given a referral to the ENT Surgeon at the University of Minnesota.

Hopefully sometime this year she will have her ear surgery to redo her ear drum since she no longer has on.

Also she was seen in Urgent Care because her right eye has been burning and slightly red. Turns out she has pink eye good thing is the doctor said it was caused from her ear infection she had ,had and it's not the contagious kind. Dr prescribed some eye drops.

January 13, 2011

eye appointment

Junior had his first eye appointment today with a Ophthalmologist. 


They checked his eyes and also dilated them to make sure the nerves were good. Doctor stated that Junior has great eye sight and doesn't need any glasses.

January 12, 2011

Toothache

Yeah finally get to see a Dentist on Saturday! The only bad thing is the Dentist is 2 hours away and it's suppose to be windy so hopefully the drive won't be so bad.

I've been in so much pain the last few weeks that I pray the Dentist will be able to fix my tooth or just yank it out.

January 11, 2011

Grandpa's Birthday

Today was Great Grandpa Hauge's birthday. Went to the Nursing home and spent time with family.

We celebrated with cake and ice cream.

January 08, 2011

Movie Saturday

Today has been a good day.

 It started off with Kevin and Ashllie going to a Juice Plus Presentation . There was a guest speaker Rod Jensen
who spoke about  health and fitness. They also ate breakfast there, they served banana or blueberry
pancakes and orange juice or water. Ashllie told me that she really enjoyed the blueberry ones. Kevin said the presentation was good.

This afternoon we watched the Ramona and Beezus movie.
It was a good one and had me crying at times. Beezus really reminded me a lot of Ashllie and how other kids think she is different because of the way she does things.

After the movie Ashllie went to grandma and grandpa's house to spend the night.

Then Kevin and I watched Salt with Angelina Jolie it was alright. I just didn't like the ending .Glad we rented it and didn't see it at the theater.

All in all a good Saturday spent at home with the family.

Three Year Appointment

Today was Junior's three year wellness checkup.

He weighs 40 lbs and 39 inches tall. He received 2 immunization shots today. One for Polio and the other was the Prevnar 13. He also had some blood work done as well.

Doctor asked a few questions about how Junior had been and stated that he wants Junior to see a Nutritionist and a Ophthalmologist.

Juniors ears were clear and throat all healed up so no more strep throat.

He was happy Junior was going to Preschool and still receiving his developmental services.

All in all it was a good appointment.

January 06, 2011

Going to Grandma's

Junior went to school today and he loved his second time as much as his first one. I really think by him going to school and being around other children his age it is really going to help with his social skills.

I'm so looking forward to all the growing he is going be doing this year. With his services at school and his additional private services as well as what we teach him at home. 

For example today at 4:00 pm he brought his winter coat and shoes to daddy and said " I go Grandma" so we called my mother in law to see if she would be home. So we could come over and visit for a few hours. She said she would and went over and when we pulled into the driveway Junior started clapping and saying I at Grandma's it was so cute. I love when he talks because he has Communication Disorder and doesn't talk much he only has a vocabulary of about 75 words but he doesn't use them all the time.

January 05, 2011

Patience

My world for this year is Patience.

Patience means a lot in my life. 

I need Patience to be a better mom and wife. To finish what I start. To learn and grow as a woman.

So for me I will look deep inside myself everyday and learn to have Patience. Yes it will be hard but life is a journey and everyone needs a little Patience. So Gods willing next year when I reflect back on my 39 year of life I will see that I did learn Patience.

Today's Junior's 1st day of preschool! He went w/his para in the van to school. We followed so we could see the class room & take a few pictures. Well my separation anxiety child aka mama's boy. Forgot all about mommy when he saw toys & the teacher's markers :( I'm really happy he did well but I'm feeling sad because he didn't even want to give me a goodbye hug.


Junior had a great first day, he even sat down twice for 20 minutes each time which is a huge accomplishment for our little boy.

Eye Doctor

Went to the eye doctor today was told that I still have 20/20 eye sight.

Also my eyes are healthy and good for being a Diabetic.

Doctor said the cloudiness I have been having is most likely from the lights in our home and it wasn't something to be alarmed about.

Reading 2011

I love reading on my iPad & Kindle! I love modern technology :) If it wasn't for digital reading, it would be really hard for me to read. I have always loved to read but with Carpal Tunnel, Fibo ,nerve damage it's been hard to hold a book and turn the pages. Thank You inventor of the Ebook you gave me my favorite Passion Back!

A Military Wife's Prayer Author Unknown

Give me greatness of heart to see,The difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me understanding so that I may know,When duty calls him, he must go.
Give me a task to do each day,To fill the time while he is away.
When he's in a foreign land,Keep him safe in your loving hand.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,Please protect him and be his shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long,Please stay with me and keep me strong.
