Caught In A Whirlwind!

Things have been so utterly busy around here...I don't even know where I've been or where I'm headed! I know I've been a terrible blogger lately, but there doesn't seem to be enough minutes in the day, anymore, to gather all my thoughts for a post. PLEASE continue to bear with me...I beg of you! :) Surely to goodness, things will settle down sooner or later!

Last week, Chris had to undergo a colonoscopy. The results from his upper GI endoscopy came back as normal...no H-pylori bacteria was present. That was a relief, but because he still felt some discomfort underneath his ribcage, his doctor thought it was wise for him to undergo a colonoscopy. I had teased him that when I came back to see him in recovery, I was going to record him while he was still on the drugs. He was so funny the last time! Well, when I walked back to see him, the first thing he mumbled to me was, "I didn't give you any incriminating answers, did I?" Ha...I guess I had him pretty worried! Would you believe I went off and forgot my camcorder at home? Just my luck! He ended up flashing his nurse and two little elderly ladies when he was attempting to get dressed! So embarrassing! :) The doctor did find one polyp that he removed and sent off for biopsy. The results should be coming in sometime this week. Hopefully, everything will be fine.

On Saturday morning, Abby and I went over to Brittany's high school and put up her locker strip that I made for her. Here's how it looked. All of the seniors were going to be surprised with them when they got to school this morning. It's the kick-off of SENIOR WEEK.

As you can see, I covered it with all sorts of pictures! She sent me a text message earlier this morning and told me that she LOVED it! Whew...that was a relief! Abby and I walked the halls and looked at all the others and it was neat to see how different they all were. I think it's such a fun tradition!

On Friday afternoon, Chris and I had gone out to lunch and then to Party City to pick up a few items to put inside Brittany's locker. Chris' cell phone started ringing and it was our realtor informing us that we had a showing scheduled in 30 MINUTES! What??? So, I had to drop everything I had in my hands and we raced out to the car and away we went! We got home and went on a rampage of stuffing things in drawers, cabinets, closets, you name it! Chris ran the vacuum downstairs while I went upstairs and cleaned off the counter tops in the bathrooms. We were done in about 15 mins. flat! As soon as we got ready to pull out of our driveway, the realtor and her client showed up. They stayed all of about 5 mins. That figures! We still haven't received any feedback. All I know is that I really hope that doesn't happen, again! My stress level was WAY up there!

In just a couple of hours, I have to meet Brittany at her school to pick up her cap and gown, then I'm coming home to finish up her scrapbook and address her graduation announcements. This afternoon, I have to pick Abby up early from school at 3 PM to watch Brittany compete in the Region 7 AAAAA Track and Field Championships. They'll finish up tomorrow evening...wish her luck! It's been such a fun 4 years! She ends her high school running career with 5 school records under her belt...WOO HOO!

Please keep Brittany close in your prayers, if you would. She's going through a really difficult situation right now with her best friend. Just pray that she will continue to remain strong and not waiver. I appreciate it so much.

Big hugs to you all!
