If ONE more thing breaks before my water breaks. . .

I am so ready to have this baby. We have 8 days 'til induction!!! Last weekend we discovered our video camera was broken. On a postive note we found out now and NOT in the delivery room. When doing research to solve this problem we learned that they no longer make the kind of camera we have. This wouldn't be a huge deal IF we kept up with converting our camera tapes to VHS or DVD. We have 20+ camera tapes (4yrs of our family memories) that we can't watch on the camera and we can't watch on any other format!!!! Well after some crying and a lot of screaming I cooled off and started thinking. I sent Daniel to Best Buy to buy a new camera so we had one to film the new baby and started calling friends. Thankfully our neighbors have a digital 8 video camera and they were willing to loan it to us so I can convert the tapes to DVD. Thanks to Robin and Corey Seymor!!!

So I have spent the last 3 days working on this project which is a very time consuming project when getting up from a sitting position or standing too long can be extemely painful. I am about half way through, but yesterday we hit another obstacle.

I went to wash a load of clothes to pack the boys to spend a few days in Pensacola and went in the laundry room a few minutes later to a very wet floor!! I turned it off and called Daniel to prepare him for the mess and repairs when he got home from work. The machine flooded under the wall into our bedroom and totally flooded the garage under the other wall!!!

We were able to get a new washer and dryer arranged to be delivered Monday afternoon. We decided to get front loading washer that can be stacked and put the deep freeze in the laundry room because we didn't have an available outlet in the garage and were planning on hiring an electrician to add one. The shelves in the laundry room are 1.5'' too low to accomodate the stacked washer and dryer so Daniel just finished removing the shelves and there are TONS of holes in the walls and we have been very unhappy with the paint job in the new house so we headed back to Lowe's to get supplies and will be spending all of Sunday painting the room before the machines are delivered and then we will have to fun job of figuring out some kind of storage shelves to house the things that filled the previous shelves!!!

For the sake of my sanity and our budget the next thing that breaks in our house better be my water!!!

Not The Best Time To Start Blogging

I Got Type 1 Diabetes         Monday, January 1, 2018   I went camping at Pupukea for Boy Scout winter camp. I was an SPL (the senior scout boy leader). My chest started to hurt with each move. I went to the nurse and she said it was only heartburn; she advised me to treat a heartburn you want to stay a from meats, eggs, cheese; any free carb foods; and eat foods like a bread, juices, milk; heavy carb foods; [all bad for a diabetic but we didn't know yet.] I went home a day earlier after the final fire bowl. The nurse and other medical professionals, at camp, told me all I needed was a hot shower and good night sleep because I was camping in the rain. When I came home and took a shower I couldn't even stand up. So my mom checked my blood sugar just to rule out that I wouldn't have diabetes. I was around 500. You should be 80-150. So, my mom rushed to Tripler (the big pink hospital) at 1:00 am because the hospital on Hickam is only a clinic for app...

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway! A picture of the school close up Our...

Saturday, June 30 th , 2012 Today was the Looney Hooley at Teresa Berg’s.  We didn’t get there at the beginning so we didn’t play in the horse shoe tournament this year.  The boys sent straight to the kiddie pool to play.  It was great seeing all the Looney side of the family.  A group of us played Mexican Dominoes.  It was quite the game as no one seemed to be sure of the rules and we seemed to change them frequently throughout the game J   When the sun started going down someone got the fire going in the fire pit.  The smores supplies appeared and we had a yummy, sticky mess!!  It was a full moon so we decided it was finally dark enough for the fireworks at 10pm.  They were AMAZING and we taught the kids to scream, “Honk Honk” when they really liked them!! I didn't have my camera out, but Alan took some pictures on a hand me down camera he got from Aunt Kathy.
