I know, I know, it has been a while. We have been keeping busy running through leaves and other fun fall stuff. Sarah and I made apple sauce to last 2 years a couple weeks ago...then there was halloween. Lots of fun with the ages we have now. Eric is doing great in math but hates sounding out words. Lisette is the teachers pet...because she adores the teachers more than any other child. Maya has been having a blast at home playing with Evan most days. Jose is loving Annie Wright and Panera is the same ole same ole....I really love being the boss more than anything. Oh yeah and Jorge moved in (Jose's younger brother)

Pumpkin Patch

So much fun at Spooners....we got pumpkins, hot chocolate, taffy, and carmel corn. Thekids thought it was a blast. They had a good time picking a pumpkin they could carry by themselves...they tried many before picking one. Jose's brother Jorge (HoreHey) came here Friday and has been staying with us. Today I madesure they taught him how to use the vacuum, and washer and dryer. Tomorrow we will learn, dust rags and wndow cleaner :)

Okay, one month into school and now I know what my mom was always griping about. I feel like a taxi driver. From dropping off to picking up and taking somewhere else. The kids (all3) went to awana for the first time and everybody but Eric thought is was sooo fun but Eric was okay with it. He was super tired because I woke him up early to attend teacher parent conferences 9which are really next week any how..my life story. I don't know how I can run a store like a shio but my life is so very different. If all goes well today we will be at the pumkim patch around 4 or so....(if all goes well)

Holy Cow when itrains it pours ad so on and so forth. So last week Saturday I went to the ER because I really thought something was wrong with me and having had surgery only 12 days prior I thought it would be prudent to check it out. After many hours of tests I was admitted for 5 days. It was almost the longest 55 days of my life. After the first 24 hours and alot of my brother Josh being very direct with the doctors and nurses about my worsening condition they discovered that I should not be on Morphine because I had a bad reaction. At somepoint in the first 48 hours and after emergeny back surgery to clean my recent incision, they found staph.
NOT FUN! Then there was the 24 hour I was there where I did not recieve any antibiotics and when the doc came and I asked him about it he and the nurses read the order differently so I had to restart teh regimine again. You cannot leave the hospital unitl a full 72 hour cycle.

I was released butam on iv antibiotics for the next 6 weeks which I administer to myself every 8 hours. It is amazing what they trust me to do.
Rosely (my 14 yr od neice) who had been living with us decided she wanted to go home at the end of the 6 month probationary period set up for her parents so Jose and I decided to let her go now instead of having her transfer schools in the begining of October (your first day of high chool is hard enough without doing it 2 times) So we are family of 6 :) and no teen agers :):)
