Teddy's Birthday

Well the last week got away from me. So short update this will be…I am finally feeling better, holy cow…it was a rough few weeks.

Tuesday I was able to get Sally an intake appointment at a health center for some psychological testing. She has been acting okay leaving for school and coming home okay, but once home and she seems me, its just crazy how she acts. Well anyway, we got to the appointment a little early and had to wait a while, so she was a little antsy. She was playing with some blocks in the waiting room and then coming over to hang on me and then lie on the floor for a second and then back to playing. We finally got in to see the doctor and it was interesting. It was really just him asking me questions but she was all over the place, really sassy and not happy and I was glad that she was acting this way, because sometimes she acts good in front of other people and is just horrible for me. So anyway, he suggested that she have some additional testing and we are not just in a waiting game for insurance. Because we put the kids on my husbands insurance through work, we lost the state funding, that I think we would have qualified for one more year, and the insurance we have now, it not great. So we shall see.

Saturday was an early morning, Sally had a game at 8 am, so we left our house at 7:40. Macy’s game was at 10 and my sister came down from Rexburg to watch her game while I went up to Rexburg to watch Teddy’s game. My parents were in town, so they came to the game. They did good. 

After the games we came back to my house and finished up cleaning because my parents were coming to stay. I had a friend come to the games and then help me with my cleaning, I was very grateful. My parents got to our house around 4 and then we went out to eat to celebrate Teddy’s birthday. He chose to go to Chuck-A-Rama and it ended up being pretty good. I haven’t had that big of a meal in a while, so I was stuffed. I was proud of myself for not having any desserts. After dinner, the boys headed home and the girls went to a few stores.

Sunday was Teddy’s 12^th birthday. I cannot believe that my first born is 12; he wasn’t too happy that his birthday fell on a Sunday but it turned out to be a nice day. We had church in the morning, I taught today, I sorta wanted my parents to come into my class, but my mom went with Sally and my dad stayed in the primary room when Macy came for singing time. When we got home, Sam made a brunch for everyone. I ate some sausage, some eggs and a pancake and boy was I stuffed. Its just been hard to figure out what to eat after my mouth surgery; everything makes me full even if I do not eat a lot. But I am trying hard to figure out what is the best thing for me to do.

I was able to take a nap after we ate. I was lying on the couch watching Macy and my mom play a card game and my mom told me to go lie on the bed, I was so grateful. I am just so tired all the time. My mom played with the girls and then made some brownies and then created a little treasure hunt for Teddy. We had an early dinner because our ward had our last walk about for the season. My sister came down for dinner and the evening. There were 5 families that hosted this month because we skipped last month. Sally did not want to walk, so I drove her to the first two places and Macy rode her bike and my mom and sister walked. After the second house, we walked to the third and Sally rode Macy’s bike and then decided to walk with another family. So I left my car and we walked to the last two and then I walked back and got the car. Overall, its just interesting how much Sally influences everything. She is so hot and cold and I hope that this testing, if we can get it approved can help her.

We came home and talked to my in-laws and then we had brownies and ice cream. We then finished the night with the treasure hunt and we all went around and said something we liked about Teddy. I think he felt loved. The girls did so much work to make him feel special and I hope he can remember that.

This morning, I had to be at the school at 7:30 for our staff picture and I was glad my parents were here to help get the girls out the door. It is our homecoming week, so the girls had PJ and crazy hair day. My mom was able to help them get their hair looking cute and crazy. I came home after the picture and my parents and I went to the gym. It was nice to go. I need to keep it up. Teddy and I are signed up for a pickleball league that starts today for 6 weeks. I am excited to play. So anyway, that is it!!!
