Father's Day weekend is always significant for me, this Father's Day Sunday is 6 years since the day I came home from Sacred Heart after my Stroke & walked up the side walk of My Parent's House to Hug my Family, walked being the key word, & Family being the next. The Saturday before I came home the Neurotherapist was there at the Hospital with me giving me my last therapy session, and after we were done, I was back in my bed surrounded by Mom, Sis & Hayden he was only 3 months old. Ed & Hunter had gone back to Omak several days earlier. My therapist looked at me and said you realize their are no neurotherapists in your area and of course I hadn't realized because I had never needed one but it didn't surprise me. But she said I can see that you will do everything that I tell you to do and I said to her "You tell me everything I gotta do to get back out there, I have two Boys to take care of" Thus the reason I am where I am today, I didn't let it slow me down or get me down.
My Dad has done so much for us, he has been the most awesome example that anyone could ask for, he hasn't always been perfect but that's what makes him an even better example for Me & for my Kids. That is probably where I get my drive from, we don't let anything stop us, there are a few things that may slow us down for a while but we keep going, keep working hard! We aren't invincable or untouchable we just keep on keeping on.
My Dad has had some mild paralyzation in one of his arms, so My Sis finally convinced him to see Dr. Long yesterday, Thankfully he did, Dr. Long sent him for an MRI, it was conducted yesterday afternoon and after review it is very clear that Dad has some MAJOR stuff going on in his neck for lack of the technical terms for it, we are considering this bad news actually good news because it came before he was completely paralyzed. He is on restriction at the moment, no shoveling, no neck twisting, no jumping off of anything no and no and no, can we tell him only to move his eyeballs, I doubt he would listen to that, this morning he asked me "What am I supposed to do" dead silence as I choked back a tear, I been there, it took all I could to make light of it all, we joked a little bit, talked about this being "Our Week" forever in our history. I couldn't help but laugh when he said if I have surgery on Friday I should be able to work on Monday, I just had to say Monday shit, you should be able to work on Sunday, the one thing about my Family we understand the seriousness of certain things but we try to always see the positives.
We play hard, fall hard and keep going, as my Dad has always said, "I ain't getting out of here alive"
I Love You Dad! Happy Father's Day!

Between Kids, Sports, House, Work I'm ridiculously slacking on my Blog, no excuses, must just get with it and write more often!
Last time I posted we were getting ready for my Grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary Party, it turned out fabulous, we couldn't have asked for things to go more smoothly. The Dinner was great, cake was awesome, my Grandparents LOVED it~!
We survived Soccer Season, I Coached Hunter & Hayden's teams along with the help of several of My Awesome Parents from the teams, it takes a village :)
Hunter thinks he wants to play Football now, so he just did a week long Football camp & he loved it, I Love Football, Huge Football fan, but it's not a sport I really want my Sons playing (wouldn't discourage him ever) so if he still wants to in the Fall, we will let him sign up. Hayden wants to go back to Baseball in the Spring. Gotta let them try things until they find what they enjoy doing!
Hallee wants to type a while!

Camping Memorial Wkend was fun being with some of our Friends, I think that is the only reason to go camping. It Rained, Snowed, Hailed, & the Sun Shined. My Kids are turning in to quite the competitive Bow Shooters, Hunter was making some awesome shots. We all came home w/ either an eye allergy or infection, but now two weeks later everyone is feeling better.
I've had the last couple weeks off & haven't accomplished anything except chasing Kids & doing a few things around the house. Helped My Dad & Bro on a job they were on the last couple days by bringing supplies, between that & transporting Kids back & forth to school , there isn't time to fit much else in.
Was texting my Friend Wendy yesterday, it was getting pretty funny which it always does w/ Her & I we have a sick sense of humor both of us, I came up w/ this while I should have been folding laundry, but I was thinking about everyone's drink days they come up with, Blue Moon Monday, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Twisted Tea Thursday, Fire Ball Friday, Strawberry Daiquiri Saturday, Spoody Sunday, TODAY I shall create 7 days of Coffee!
Nadia is Graduating this wkend, busy wkend ahead w/ Ballet, Brunch, Graduation & everything in between. I was going through our pictures looking for all the ones of Nadia so that I could take them to our brunch on Saturday, & it brought a tear to my eye looking at the pictures, remembering the last 17 years WOW, it's amazing what happens just within a years time let alone looking at the past 17 years in pictures. Most times I look at the pics & think back to what we've been through & I think to myself the only thing you can tell people is "You wouldn't believe me if I told you"~! Marriage, Kids, Houses, Sickness, School, Sports, Death, Money, Jobs, Ups & Downs How does one get through it??? Only with lots of ~Laughter~Humor~!
We have a Big Day coming up soon our Lagoon goes before the Judge June 21st, we have lots of players coming in for that night, the Dept. Of Ecology, Health Department, our Engineer, the People who make the liner that we plan to use, Supporters & NonSupporters all will be there, we have met & exceeded all the requirements, so fingers crossed everything goes without a hitch, our County really needs a lagoon. As the day approaches the threatening phone calls are coming, we have 1 Guy who has called a couple times to threaten us, & tell us how we just want to make a bunch of money so we can take it with us when we die & we are completely ruining his lifep, if only I could say what I really wanna say, Hmmm pack a lunch you freakin idiot cause let me tell you how this is gonna go, you threaten the bull you are gonna get the horns, no we aren't trying to make a bunch of money so we can take it with us when we die, cause the bank is gonna take it all before then and oh how do you like shitting in the house, oh you like it real well, hmmmmm do you ever wonder where the shit goes, no you haven't, ya I didn't think so, how bout this I'm done talking to you don't call me again or I'm gonna call the police and file a harrassment suit against you, and by the way cram your complaint of me ruining your entire life up your ass, cause you ain't seen nothing yet F@#*&r! But since there is always that chance that our greatest efforts will not be rewarded, we just sit back, take it and wait, what is meant to be will be~!
Funny Times, so the Army Corp Of Engineers was called in to Conc sometime Tuesday at 7pm they start calling Dad, what kind of equipment do you have, what do you charge per hour, do you wanna work on this job...we have to tell them we will call you back in a few, Dad calls my Bro, what do you think...call the Corp back...Ya we can do it, K, we will call you back.....Dad finally goes to bed we haven't heard back, he is in bed 15 minutes, the phone rings, Yep it's a go we want you to do the job "So you want us to start in the morning?" "Nope Now, Right Now, First Trucks will be here at 1a.m." Seriously! Ok we will be right up, anyone who knows about loading and moving equipment it doesn't just happen like I will be right there :) The trucks finished hauling dirt/rock this morning, they worked round the clock from 1am Wed until 8 Thurs. Morn, & made a beautiful dike, Dad & I were wishing last night that we had counted the number of truck loads that were hauled in, there will be a few days of cleaning up the dike making it look as pretty as you can make a pile of dirt look! I think The City Of Omak/Okanogan need to call the Army Corp of Engineers about their flooding if you want something done & done in a hurry, LOL I'm not sure how it all works but it was crazy. One of the Lead Ladies was a freakin fire cracker, fun to watch her drive back & forth up the hill outta Conc to make phone calls, I'd bet at this point she would agree with me, there shouldn't be any place in the World that you can't get a cell signal!
On a really Happy note, Hayden's last day of school is today Woo Hoo, & Hunter's is tomorrow, I am SOOOOOOOO glad, I Love Summer Vacation, I Love having my Kids w/ Me, Let the Good Times begin, lazy days, time in the Boat at the Lake, Let's MAKE SOME MEMORIES.........LIFE IS GOOD!
