So I am really trying to figure out how to fit blogging into my already crazy schedule. I haven't figured it out, so I apologize for being a sporadic blogger!
OK. Exactly 2 weeks ago today, Elijah got his left middle finger smashed in a folding chair...thanks to the help of his older brother, Jude! He cried, and it immediately turned bluish-purple..mmm mmm lovely! Well, a week goes by, and it continues to look the same. On the one week anniversary of the incident I happen to look at it, and the entire tip of that finger is swollen, puffy, red and the fingernail is bright (abnormal) white! I try not to panic, but when I realize that it is 4pm and our chances of seeing the Pediatrician are zero...I start to lose it. Mostly because I cannot stand to go to the ER! I called and got an appt. for the next morning. We went and got put on antibiotics...as if we could NOT call those in people!! I know, I know there are regulations...but it's me, for goodness sake, right?! No, really I do understand...times like this make me wish I were in Mexico :)
Now on the 2 week anniversary today, it looks absolutely awful! I ended up having to clip as much as I could off because it was starting to catch on things. NaStY! So it is now hanging on by the cuticle. I'm guessing that it will detatch soon!
Well, it is official...we are going to MEXICO!! Team Noles is leaving for Mexico Sept. 13th and will return Sept.18th. God helped us find some airline tickets last night that were mucho(brushing up on the ol' espanol) cheap! Thanks, Jesus!! We will have to drive to Charlotte, NC and fly out from there...and then drive back on the way home...but it was way worth the discount!
I am so excited to see what all God has in store for me and Keith and the rest of the fam!
Can you believe that Elijah and Elissa are almost 2 years old???? Part of me wants to cry...but the other part of me is excited to finally be getting out of the "Baby Phase" of life. We have been there for almost 7 years straight, and I am definitely ready to move on! Hopefully, God has no more jokes up His sleeve! So, we will be celebrating their birthday this Friday seeing as we will be in Mexico the following weekend!!!!
The twins will be staying in the states this time we go to MX. We will be taking all of the other kids with us! Should be an adventure!
One last thing before I go get ready to teach dance at the studio...I have been eyeing a sectional sofa at La-Z-Boy for almost a year now! It was MuchO expensive...so Keith and (reluctantly) I have been waiting. Well, I also am an avid "Craigslister", and I just happened to be looking at sofas, when...I saw the sectional we had been looking at!!! We did a little research and after making sure we could add a few pieces on to it, we were hooked! We looked and bought it all in the same night. It cost us less than 1/5 of the retail price, although we are still looking at purchasing a few more seats to make it bigger! Thank you, Jesus! He really does prvide all of our needs!
Well, like I said...I am going to blog when possible:)
