New Diet

Okay, so I have been thinking about my diet lately.
I should be losing weight about now since my diet has been
consisting of a lot of

THIN MINTS!

Okay, I've definitely decided I am a stress eater.
If I'm stressed, I eat and that happens to be Thin Mints!

Think I can market this as a new diet plan? :-)

Father & Daughter

Well for the second year, Hannah is off to the Father-Daugther Girl Scout Dance with her Daddy. It seems so much more special this year, seeing all that we have been through this month. I'm so glad that he is getting better and can attend this with her. I only wish I could be a fly on the wall with my camera to take pictures of them. Michael has been instructed to take some good pictures for me.














He also has a new reason for taking pictures as well. Having spent many hours together in the hospital or cooped up in the house, we decided we needed an activity other than watching T.V. to do together. I love to scrapbook and he is always after me to spend time doing it, which I haven't at all since this summer. So we have decided to scrapbook together. Being the geek (a lovable one though), he only wants to digitally scrapbook. He doesn't understand the whole cardstock and embellishment thing. He thinks, why do that when you can do that on the computer? I, on the other hand, although I love the looks of digitally done pages can't even begin to think about scrapping that way.



So we will each be scrapbooking but in different ways. I hope to be able to print out his layouts to put into the albums. I'll be sure to post some when we get some done. Guess this will motivate me to clean out my scrapbook room instead of using it for storage.

an even worse month

first I am doing this from mike's phone so forgive the errors. january was nothing compared to february. wednesday michael at age 39 had a mild heart attack. from there it was been a nonstop rollercoaster . we thought he would need open heart surgery to replace the valve but for now that might be held off a few years with medication and healthier living. he did go through two heart catherizations resulting in one stent being placed in one atery. now we are just trying to get his wound to stop seeping and get him out of bed without passing out like he did this morning. if that happens he can go home. although since we have no family near us I have to say I am very scared of having him home and trying to care for him & the three kids. I am having trouble leaving him alone even in the hospital. not sure how to deal with these emotions. this sure is changing my outlook on our lives.
well this is hard to type on so I will sign off and try to update soon.
