A Lil Spring Cleaning

Holy Cow I can't believe it's been over a month since I have posted on here. Can you say Slacker!!! Sorry Blog Land!

Well after a great run (17 months) I was admitted into the joint, the theme was "SPRING".

As you can remember I am thippless so it definitely made this stay a lil interesting. Let's just say at the end of the 2 weeks I was missing my Thipple (portacath). I thought maybe just maybe my arm veins would of had a chance to heal on their nice 7 year break of no piccs. I was banking on just getting a Picc, but no such luck.  My veins are horrible and I am not quite ready yet to get something permanent again. So I felt like I was 8 again as I went with peripheral IV's the whole time. Total stay 5 pokes and 4 IV's total, not to bad!

IV #1

The Fam came up Riv and Makena had a blast on my bed going up and down, They loved the large elevator and the revolving door too. It was better than Disneyland I think they said ;)

I was quite colorful after this stay 

My mom playing Draw Something

My IV bag that goes everywhere with me connected to it 24/7 my fancy arm bracelet and my lil reminder that Astra was watching out for me. Between her and Tiff I was taken care of I was in the last room Tiff was in Im sure she planned that. I am glad she didn't pull any funny Business... considering I was there for April Fool's ;)

My bam bam doo! I pretty much wore my hair like this every day... lookin good ;)

Had Madonna's new album on repeat the entire time.... Love it!

GNO joint style! SO MUCH FUN!!! Cards Sushi and GREAT company! 

SPRING theme!!! Loved this theme Good job Momma

blowing smoke rings! Its a true talent ;)

The day I got home left Fake spring to Real Spring! 

Its amazing how you can do nothing for 2 weeks but yet you get home you are so exhausted. This  makes the transition from joint life to real life a bit overwhelming. Hopefully I can go another 17 months or so before I have to do it again.

Thank you everyone that made this stay a great one.... my fabulous Docs, my amazing nurses, The best  family and friends EVER you guys are ALL AMAZING!!! Thank you! Xo

Flat Kylie

This is my cute cousin Kylie she lives in Minnesota her first grade class just read Flat Stanley. In the book Flat Stanley is mailed to a relative to visit them and have adventures.

Flat Kylie was sent to visit me in Utah! We had so much fun… She was on Cloud 9 when I opened up the package and she got to meet me and the  babies.

We hung out and she got to feed the babies, played ball with them and even helped me take them on a walk. The babies and flat Kylie were instant friends.

It was an exciting time for flat Kylie to be in Utah while things were warming up and spring was blooming. She got to climb trees, walk through gardens and look at the BIG mountains. Flat Kylie even got to visit the Easter Bunny while she was in Utah.

We used our imagination a lot and pretended to walk in the clouds, we pretended we flew to Paris and even pretended we were astronauts and went to outer space. We had so much fun together I hope you enjoy the pictures. 

Favorite Dress... Pug O war and a lil in between

This weekend lots of time outdoors and lots of ball was played. Its 75 today and beautiful... For those of you that really know me I am wearing "THE DRESS" today first day of the season :) Ill fill you all in...

You know that one article of clothing that you can't wear enough... Well I have this dress you all have seen me in it it's the one I am wearing in both pics on this blog with my babies the header and the one wear they are dressed up. Yep the turquoise one... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!!! It even made it's debut when I was in the TOBI calendar. It fits great is SO comfy and no bra needed. I bought it in NY at H&M 4 years ago and I haven't been able to find anything like it since, that is why it seems to gets cycled in at least once a week in the spring/summer. We all started calling it "The Dress" So just know that I am So comfortable today ;) My mom always is on the look out for something comparable (I think she gets sick of seeing me in it). But honestly nothing comes close. Patty and Kathy I am going to see if your mom can duplicate it for me in other colors when she gets here. I have heard she is Very talented. Then I can wear it EVERYDAY!!!! :)

I also have a Jimmy Buffet T shirt that I seem to wear a ton too... Only in private tho its one of my pj tees. It has holes and I wore it while painting once. oops I am not a neat painter. It started out being a bright yellow it is now a light yellow peach....

I rode my Vespa ALL over this weekend too... Loving this Spring weather. My house is getting hot I refuse to turn the air on tho and I cant open windows because we have these beautiful but VERY STINKY trees that line my street I will have to take a pic. But they are in FULL bloom and In FULL stink!

Video of the babies playing Pug O War I never get tired of watching them do this...

Makena has taken after me in the grab bag closet wardrobe approach to dressing ;) She thought my Vespa was pretty cool!

Ridin....

Took the Vespa for a spin today..... It was GREAT! Lots of people were out mowing the lawns. Love all the smells I can smell when I am riding. My favorite is riding when the sprinklers are going and the BBQ are cooking. MMMMM

Spring has sprung! I love the sun...

So do the babies, we have been enjoying the outdoors. Allergies are starting don't forget to use your Nettis, your nose will Thank you!

Have a great day!

hmmm

Is it just me or does Mondays seem to bring out the grumpies in everyone?

Today and for now on... I am pledging to be nothing but a ray of sunshine every Mon.

Maybe that way I can do my part and turn everyone's frown upside down.

I woke up to the sun and I have spring fever bad so maybe that is why I am all cheery. I am even wearing a yellow jogging suit with a bright orange tank top :)

All the negative status updates on Face book get to be a lil much...

Be thankful for ALL you have to do on Mondays and if you start the week off right well then I think it will set the mood for the whole week.

SO EVERYONE go out and have the best Monday Ever! Maybe try and make 2 people smile it will come back ten fold! Xo

1 hour

gone. I miss you already.... Im a lil sleepy! But Spring is coming!!!

The Sun is Shining...

It's another beautiful day out! I woke up this morning feeling great! Don't ever under estimate the power of prayer... Thank you guys for all your thoughts and prayers keep them coming for Mon. I really think the blood was from me thinking I was Tracy Anderson :) I guess I just needed a lil reality check to assure my self that I am NO Tracy Anderson!! I am still going to take it easy this weekend tho no treadmill til after the BLOW.

It is so nice out I am going to take the babies for a walk and sit outside at the bucks with a nice cup of coffee and a cupcake of course :) The particulant matter is at 19, so hopefully since its suppose to be nice out all weekend the air will cooperate. 

Cara its crazy how in tune we are... Its our cysterhood working at it's finest I find the same thing with most my cysters. Sare I didn't have to stop any meds or airway clearance as per the team. However being the PP/Dr Love that I am :) I did stop my pulmicort and advair. But I started them back up this morning and knock on wood.... I am good to go!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!!
