Busy As A Bee!

Where shall I begin? Let's see...Chris got home on Thursday after being gone since Monday morning, so it was nice having him home earlier than usual. On Friday afternoon,he had an appointment with a gastroenterologist. He's been having some issues with acid reflux and a spot under his ribcage has been burning/hurting for almost two weeks. His doctor ordered him to undergo an endoscopy of his upper GI tract a week from today. I'll have to take him in for the procedure since he won't be able to drive. Hopefully, it will reveal what's been causing his discomfort and it will be easily fixed.

Later, on Friday afternoon, we had a showing! Woo hoo! It's been slim pickens around here for the past few weeks, so that was something to CELEBRATE! The couple and their realtor stayed in our house for about 20 mins. We kept driving around in circles until they left. Our realtor is supposed to contact the realtor who showed it for some feedback. We're keeping our fingers crossed that they liked what they saw...it's just a waiting game.

Thankfully, Brittany didn't have a track meet on Saturday, so we all got to sleep in! Boy, was it ever nice, too! Abby had a birthday party to attend on Saturday around 10:30 at a roller skating rink. That brought back to mind the time when I was in my mid-30's and went roller skating with Brittany and some of her friends...Abby was just a baby. Well, a Michael Jackson tune came on and I suddenly lost all of my common sense. I felt like I was back in high school, again! I took to the floor like I owned the place...whirling around like a champion! Then, the next thing I knew, I went SPLAT!...right on my knee! It swelled up like a grapefruit in a matter of seconds! Chris has to escort me off the floor and get a bag of ice from the concessions stand for me to put on it. I was in a sad predicament. You know what, though...there was no stopping me! After my knee went back down, I got back out on the floor and away I went! Fear had nothing on me! Well, I went SPLAT!, again...this time on my wrist! Boy, did it ever hurt, too! So much so that I thought I broke it! Needless to say, Chris decided to take me to the ER where we proceeded to sit for the next 2-3 hours...only to find out that it was just a bad sprain. Lesson to self...I'm not as young as I used to be! :)

Chris went golfing on Saturday afternoon and the girls and I went out to lunch and did some shopping for summer clothes. We are so ready for the warm weather to stick around! That night, Brittany saw a movie with....Patrick (as friends!). No, I definitely wasn't too happy about it, but I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely refuse to allow some knuckle-headed boy ruin my relationship with my daughter. It just isn't going to happen! Abby convinced me to watch "New Moon" with her. Would you believe that I fell asleep during the movie? I know...what is wrong with me?

Sunday morning, of course, was spent at church. Our minister is preaching a 6-week series on the end of the world. It really has been eye-opening. The rest of the day was spent being lazy with nothing major on the agenda...a PERFECT ending, if you ask me!

Hope each of you had a nice weekend! We had 70 degree temps here on Saturday, but today it's around 45...YUCK! Sure wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!

I hope Chris is okay, and the series your pastor is doing sounds good-I think the end of the world is a comming!
Have a wonderful day!

Oooo hope it's nothing serious with Chris.

I took my girls roller skating a dew weeks ago. I had a blast! Oh...and they did too. :o) I'll take your advice and realize I'm not that young anymore and be careful the next time we go, because I had so much fun, I feel I can get a little crazier next time.

I had a endoscopy-It wasn't too bad-In fact when they wake you up you feel pretty refreshed! Only thing is Tim took me to Best Buy after I had my procedure...I was talking away to the sales girl when Tim said, "babe, you might not want to talk." I of course asked why because i was feeling really wonderful and he told me I sounded really drunk from the procedure...It was so weird because I thought I sounded normal! Tim and the sales girl got a big kick out of me that day!

Have fun !

I probably would fall asleep during that movie too. I sure hope your knee heals, April.

Beth in NC said...

Ouchie! Your knee and wrist? I haven't skated since I was a young teen. I better keep it that way.

You have been busy. I had a similar weekend.

Have a great week!

Jennifer said...

Hoping you get good news on the house soon! Definitely a busy weekend..enjoy the week ahead!

Darlene said...

Praying that all will be fine with Chris. Good luck on your house sale. I don't EVEN attempt to roller skate anymore! Though my mind still feels young my body DOESN'T!

I LOVE turning your blog into a book! I will definitely check that out.

Oh, I do hope Patrick gets out of the picture!!!! Sounds like a total pain!

Denise said...

Praying for you dear.

Andrea said...

Praying for you!

Beth said...

I used to love to go roller skating back in the day. Especially all night skates :) Good luck to Chris on his test. Hopefully he will get some answers and relief soon.

jules said...

I probably would have done the same thing at the rink. I used to love to skate but haven't been on skates for about 20 years. So glad you're ok.

Sit A Spell said...

I was at the rink EVERY weekend when I was a teen. You know how popular it was in Ar! It's been a few yrs since I've gone and after reading this, might not go!

I love that you had your blog put into a book for your girls.

Praying for your house...I know how that is!

Fingers are sooo crossed that they hurt!! :) Hope you get good news.

Your weekend sounds as busy as mine!
Hope your wrist is feeling better.

STILLMAGNOLIA said...

Hope knee and wrist are healing nicely...I gave up trying to skate a long time ago....I was killer at it...at 16. Hummm...wonder what happened between there and 56? Happy Tuesday!

amy @ Life in Pink Hi-Tops said...

You had a really fun weekend. I was never very good at skating -- never ever! Hope your knee and wrist are doing better.

Shelley said...

I love your spunk and spirit April to go skating and keep trying even after the 1st fall! You're brave!
Good luck w/ your home showing! And also, can you please send me some of your warm weather? :-)

Jodi said...

Just stopping by to check up on you. Sounds like a busy weekend! I haven't been roller skating in forever, I can't even imagine how I'd do, lol.

Hi April
Sorry to hear Chris is not well and has to have an endoscopy. As you know I had one last year. We will be fine. He will be in my prayers.
I hope you have some good news soon about your house. I will keep my fingers crossed.
I giggled at your story about roller skating years ago. I used to love roller skating but now I kind of avoid anything like that. It's not worth the risk when you see all the accidents and casualties at places like ice rinks. Sorry to hear Patrick is still lurking around!

whoa! glad to read that the injury not serious! goodness...
indeed the good outweighed the bad...and i can certainly see how you chose to title your post ...LOL

hoping and praying for house updates :)ms april...!

Queenie Jeannie said...

It's cold and blusterly over on this side of the state too hun!! Ugh!

Hopefully Chris gets his results back pronto and can get a prescription to help!

Patrick - what a 'tard!!! Don't let him bug you, ok???

I only laughed a little at your "splatting", lol!!!

New Moon was great, except Thomas kept asking me a ton of questions as he hadn't read the books or seen the first movie. Men!!!

Hoping your week is going well! Hugs!

A roller skating birthday party! LOVE! A house showing? Super! A date for Britt? Fun! Amen. Don't let her relationship with him harm your relationship with her! She will be ok! Her mama raised her right!

Daphine said...

WOW! You can fit more into one day than any one I know! WOW! Hope that house sales real soon as it would get real old to me keeping EVEYRTHING in perfect order and having to leave the house at a moment's notice. Skating party...how FUN! Hoping your knee is already healed by now and glad that you didn't break anything! And girl, don't even get me started on the boyfriend talk. Morgan is single right now! Thank God! We're actually praying that she stays single for a while now. We still miss her first "real" boyfriend though, Todd! LOVED him! You already know this... but you're totally doing the right thing by saying very little in how you truly feel about Patrick.

Miss you lady! You have SO encouraged me about getting me a blog book done. I am kind of reading your post(s) out of order. But, I will be checking into that REAL soon!

Take care and have a great weekend!

Sounds like you guys had a busy weekend! I haven't been roller skating since I was a child. I don't know how well I'd do on those things now. Probably kill myself. Don't feel bad about 'New Moon'! I'd fall asleep too! I don't like those movies.
