sooo, life is good. I'm layed up in bed for four or five weeks following a bunionectomy surgery yesterday, Aidan is sick with a fever and he's afraid to come near me because my foot is the size of a football, I'm missing Camden's first school program, ...this sounds like whining and it's not. Honest! We've just had some exciting times around here, but let me back up a little bit.
We've made it through the crazy coldness that is Ohio and I'm so grateful for the jungle gym we have in our basement. Then at the end of February I flew solo aka sans family aka all by myself aka the only way to fly, to Washington state to visit with my family and friends. I had a great time shopping, eating out, visiting, and playing guitar hero. It was very relaxing not being in charge or responsible for anyone else.
I flew back in a few minutes after midnight on my birthday, didn't get much sleep that night because the next day was a regular mommy day. Nate left for MI for a conference for two days, then yesterday I had my foot surgery. The surgery went great, I was awake the whole time, which was interesting when I heard the saw cutting off my bone. But it was so nice not to be groggy afterwards. Now I just have to lay in bed with my foot propped up 24 hours a day. I am allowed to get up for five minutes of every hour but that's it. Yeah, my doc is a little psycho. But so far so good. And because of that my awesome mom-in-law has basically moved in for a few weeks to help out. AND to make her job that much better, Aidan has had a fever for two days, which is making him be pretty wimpy and won't come near me unless cartoons are on.
But I am very blessed and am lucky to have such wonderful people and opportunities in my life. Now I just have to have a super-speedy recovery so that I'll be able to take over when Nate has knee surgery on March 17th for a severed ACL, torn miniscus and some bone bruising. :)
I tell ya, for a family who really has no drama, we've taken our fair share lately.
Thanks to everyone for all their warm wishes and concerns. Nathan and I are very grateful we have such good friends.

So glad it went well. Call when you're up for it, and I will try and find something entertaining to tell you :) Sorry I missed seeing you. Everyt time I thought about calling either me or one of the kids was sick. Single parenting is not cool. I will have to try and catch you again. Either that or you me and Aim will have to move up that mommy get away.
