Happy *Early* March, Erin Condren Life Planner, Surgery Day, Work, 4K Registration, PT & Shopping...

Hello Everyone!
 
I'm sorry about my absence lately from the blogging scene. I usually write once a week in my agenda that I'm going to be doing a blog entry, but to be honest I have been so super busy lately.
 
First off let me start by saying: HAPPY MARCH! It's not officially March yet, but it starts on Sunday, and I know that I will not be doing a blog entry on Sunday. (I usually try to do my blog entries on a Wednesday in the middle of the week)

Above you see what my Monthly view looks like (so far) for the month of March. Luckily I've paid almost all my bills (Except for the latter ones (rent, netflix, cell, car taxes & car insurance) Everything else has been paid. I also only have 1 birthday card to get out this month, which I will be sending next week with a Lowes GC in it for my Papa. I will light a candle for my Mama on her Birthday.
                                                                                                       
Here is a photo of my weekly update (last week) before I got my surgery on Friday. It was a pretty busy first half of my week.
 
SURGERY DAY

Here I am on Surgery Day. I was supposed to go in at 11:15 to get ready, sign some forms, and be hooked up. My surgery was supposed to begin at 12:50. Dr. Guy was running really behind on his surgeries that day, so I did not get to go into surgery until 4:30pm! That's A LONG TIME to wait when you hadn't eaten or drank anything since Midnight! I was thirsty and hungry and tired, but I just relaxed in my room with Chris watching Father of the Bride & Father of the Bride II. Lil' Man stayed with my Mother in Law, because there was no way we could bring him with us.

 

These are the socks I was given that day! Super comfy & I got to take them home with me! Absolutely LOVE them!
Here I am testing out my laptop camera.


AFTER SURGERY
I had to spend the night in the hospital, and even though I was doped up on some pretty awesome pain meds, I did not get much sleep. Here I was a 4:30am in the morning.


WORKING
 

I was working while in the hospital. I was unable to get all orders out when I was supposed to, so I was trying my best to get all of them designed while waiting to be discharged.


They had to re-align the ligaments and knee cap so that they were straight. I now have 2 screws in my knee & will forever beep at the airport.

CHRISTOPHER

Little man face-timed me after I got out of my surgery and was awake enough to function. I thought it would help him calm down and that he would be alright after seeing me, but it scared him to death. When I got home the next day, he started crying when he saw my knee, and told me he wished he could make it much better. He kissed it, and even though it didn't make it feel better... I told him it made a world of a difference.
We registered little man for 4K the day before my surgery and we set up his test date. I'm nervous and excited for him all at the same time. He really needs 4K and his fellow students for interaction before he goes straight into Kindergarten.


HUBS
Chris was off work Friday, Saturday, Sunday and he took a sick day on Monday, to make sure that I was in a the swing of things. It gets really hard when he is not here in the mornings though, because as of right now, I cannot do anything myself. I have to have help to get off the bed, go to the restroom, fill up and turn off "the box", and Christopher usually wants Chocolate Milk in the mornings, which is downstairs, and I cannot go down or up any stairs without anyone home (in the case that I fall). He has been really sweet.

PT

I had my very first day of Physical Therapy today. It wasn't too bad... until afterword when I decided it felt good enough to go to Target and Michaels and walk around. :/ I always over- estimate myself....

I did however; find these adorable post-its and notepad in the Target $ spot!

Chris was saying that they set the first SUMMER grid in the back room at Michaels today. It seems the years go by faster and faster.

That is all for this week!

Springtime, Healthcare, Doctor Appointments, New Shoes, and A February Farewell....

Hello Everyone :)

It has been awhile since I have done an entry on just the family (perhaps I should make a crafting blog too? I made one separate for the business, but maybe I should make a crafting one? would that be better for everyone?)

Little Man & His New Shoes--> If you click on this link it will bring you to Christopher & His New Shoes :) He wanted a video!

It has been super nice here in SC and the other day we went outside to play.
Christopher found some dandelions & sat down to pick one :)

Spring is just around the corner. Didn't we just start 2014???

Before I know it, it will be his 4th Birthday! (which I have already planned out :/





Chris and I got Christopher on Medicaid again (because we're a low income family) So this will make it easier for us when it comes time for him to go back to the doctor for his 4 year check-up (and shots)
I am also scheduling Christopher's first dental appointment! (Nothing really to worry about though, considering he wants to brush his teeth 3+ times a day :)) I'll be making that appointment as soon as I get our Medicaid card in.

Our car is still broken down, and we had to borrow money from the in-laws for now so that we can buy the part. We've saved almost $500 so far, we just need another $400. Car repairs are so expensive :(

Chris is doing well at Michaels, and they are supposed to be opening a new store in August. Chris is waiting for the job notice to be put up so that he can apply. He's not allowed to be management at the current store, because his mom works there and is management... so he would have to go to a different store. It isn't too much farther away, and he would be getting paid better! :)

As for me, I went to a different doctor yesterday in Florence. First time I have ever been to Florence. It took us an hour and 15 minutes to get there. My appointment was at 1pm but I didn't get to go in and see the doctor until 3pm! :( It was so busy! I'm not quite sure what all will be happening right now...:( I will relish the day that I can go and see a doctor who will fix me right the first time, so that I can move on... and get a job (full-time would be very nice)

This will be the last entry I have for February (2 more days and it will be March!!!)


Until Next Time...
