This and That
Luke got to come home today!!!! :-) And he is doing phenomenal, except for the quitting smoking part! Giving it up is really hard on him, but he is doing a great job at it...even though it's making him feel like crap, pretty much. I'm just thankful to see him out of that hospital bed...so, all in all, today has been a much better day. I just want to thank everyone again for all of your prayers...it has been the world to me and my family! :-)
On a different note, I have been absolutely exhausted this week...and I'm not really sure why. It's starting to get really annoying though, because I'm getting excellent sleep at night...but even so, I wake up and by noon, I'm pooped. I haven't been this way since I was preggers...which I guess is a possibility, but the timing is a bit off, so who knows; only time will tell. I told my Mom we were trying again and she was like, "well good...and this time it needs to be a girl, because you need one of both, lol!" The woman cracks me up!
I felt like an absolute HORRIBLE mommy yesterday...:-( I had to go potty really bad and since I knew it would only take a second I left Noah laying on his playmat in the living room...I had just walked into the bathroom when I heard him let out this bloodwrenching scream, so I run back in...the kid had rolled like 3 times in just a few seconds and bumped his head on the base of his swing...I cried with him. Needless to say, now whenever Mommy has something she has to do, Noah will be tucked away safely in his playpen, lol. I just can't believe how quickly he is advancing...he has rolling down like he's been doing it for years, he can scoot forwards and backwards, hold his bottle, PICK UP his bottle/toys and anything he can get his grabby little hands on *grin*, put his feet in his mouth....I just can't believe what a smart little cookie we have! :-) It scares me to think that the next one might be a little monster baby...Noah is just SO GOOD...all the time.
Anyways, I guess I'm going to get off of here because, sadly, it's 5pm and I seriously am in need of a nap...which is very, very sad. BLEH! I will be uploading more pictures as soon as I get the chance...it's been a pretty hectic week!

Tears...I Just Can't Hold Them in Anymore
The past two days have been stress beyond belief...and I REFUSED to cry about any of it, until today! My stepfather, Luke, who I have considered another Father for the past 15 years, started having severe chest pains about three days ago. He, being his usual stubborn self, refused to go to the hospital until my mother forced him to yesterday evening...and it's a good thing she did. After five EKGs, an angioplasty, and various other tests etc., they discovered he had a 90% blockage...he is only 40 but has a family history of heart disease. I have been strong for my Mom this week holding it all inside, but today I just broke down...I can't hold it in anymore...I can't be brave anymore...I'm scared....REALLY scared. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. And to see him laying there in that hospital bed like that...I don't know how I managed to hold in the tears while I was there, but I did...but I lost it while we were walking to the car. I've visited Mom at the hospital a couple of times over the past couple of days, but tonight was the first time I'd seen Luke....and I'm just tired and upset and worried. They put a stent in and he seems to be doing better now, but I'm most worried about when he goes home! He smokes, and isn't very willing to quit...and they tell him HE MUST, or he will be back in there within a matter of months, so yeah...I'm pretty down today. Not to mention, Noah has been fussy, probably because he is picking up on Mommy being upset and I just really, really need a break....from everything. I will end here now, because I want my blog to be one where humor and happiness resides and this is putting a damper on things...my apologies! I just needed to get this out and I appreciate you listening. Please pray for quick healing and a willingness to give up smoking...that the Lord will do a miracle and maybe he just will be able to give it up cold turkey! Thanks so much! Have a blessed weekend!

Fourth of July Weekend
Can't believe it's already time for the Fourth of July. Time has just been stolen away from me this year it seems....that's what happens when you have children, though...if you thought your life flew by before, it travels super sonic now! :-) I think we are going to break our annual tradition of spending time with the family for this holiday and instead head to Lynchburg with some close friends of ours to watch an awesome fireworks display. I used to hate change, but now that I live by routine and schedule each day, I sometimes get a thrill out of breaking up the monotony of my life...so newness is welcome.
Caleb is off on Monday for the holiday weekend and I'm not quite sure what we are doing that day yet...definitely not going to be sitting around the house being couch potatoes; Noah likes to be outside too much for that. Besides, the weather is supposed to stay in the 80s for the next few days so the weather will be gorgeous...I'm looking forward to it. Anyways, that's my blurb of the day..now on to my comedy posts! Have a blessed Thursday everyone!.
