The kids are home for the summer...
We're not traveling this year, but plan on having LOTS of fun together until...
Remember Jon's brush with death last summer? Well, he has to have one final surgery to correct some pain issues. Hopefully it won't be too bad for him. Also, I'm having another knee surgery on July 24th. Ick.
Usually we're camping on the beach right now, then getting ready to head up to Idaho to spend the 4th of July with my brother and his family in Rigby and a few side stops in Montana and Yellowstone. Not this year. I get to have surgery AGAIN on my right knee the end of July to replace a damaged ACL. Grrr. My last doctor should have caught it. Apparently it's RIGHT THERE on the MRI films. Guess I should have been a doctor OR a lawyer, like my mom wanted. If I were the doctor, I could have read my OWN MRI films and found the problem. If I were the lawyer, I could persue this last doctor for missing the problem and making me have to go through another painful surgery with a much longer recovery time. YAY.

We're working on projects around the house, trying to get it ready for me to comfortably lay around for a couple weeks before I start therapy after the surgery. We've started with the kid's bathroom, removing EVERYTHING down to the wallpaper. Walls have been painted, New vanity installed, new light fisxtures and fan, floor tile next, and a new toilet. Bathtub tile will be replaced later because.......next will be our bedroom. THIS.WILL.BE.COMPLETED.BEFORE.MY.SURGERY. If I'm going to lay around on the bed most of the day, it's not going to be while starting up at a repaired ceiling that needs to be repainted, or looking across the carpet that needs to be replaced at spilled paint stains compliments of a mad dash to the toilet during my 4th pregnancy, OR starting at the walls that need to be repainted and trim that needs to be replaced along with crown moulding. I want! I want! I want! Oh, and did I mention our masterbath? Umm Humm. :)
In the midst of all this, Jon and I will try to squeeze in a weekend trip to Lake Tahoe for OUR vacation that we never get to take when the kids go on THEIR vacation each summer and bring us along as their personal slaves. I'm not sure why we didn't figure this out sooner.
I'll keep you posted. I'm sure it's going to get very interesting in the next few weeks!
