What do I say when it’s been over 3 months since my last post? I mean, where do I begin? Do I just act as if nothing is unusual and write about recent blog fodder, or take advantage of my publish button by back-dating the events of the summer, leaving my readers (if there are any left) to wonder how they missed the last 12 weeks’ postings?
Since I’m not sure of proper slacker protocol, I’m just going to wing it. This pretty much describes how I’m living life these days anyways and gives answer to the question “why aren’t you blogging anymore”?
So how about a summary? Starting with a week after my last post. Imagine sitting at dinner with your entire family. Both sets of parents, sister, brother-in-law, kids, dogs, etc. Everybody is there feasting on some amazing grilled pork chops, when suddenly your husband can’t speak. He’s looking at you, wanting to tell you something, and all he can manage is “something’s wrong”.
You begin to get annoyed when each time you ask “What? What’s wrong?” and all he says is the same thing, “something’s wrong”. As time goes on, the rest of the family realizes he is having symptoms of a stroke. Thank God they were all there with me because I don’t know that I would have EVER believed that my 34 year old soul mate needed to be taken to the hospital.
But he did and that’s where they confirmed a TIA which is an abbreviation for a long fanciful word meaning “stroke without permanent damage”. So after an additional 3 days in the hospital being poked, prodded and tested it was undetermined as to what caused the stroke.
Now that’s some reassuring news.
So whatdaya say we move on the more positive aspects of summer. We celebrated Emery’s 5th birthday in July.
Savannah went to C3 Camp for a week and also an art class for a day where she painted her Daddy this football picture for our new house (or next house, or whatever).
My sister’s boss gave her a timeshare week up in Big Canoe, Georgia at the end of July. She invited all of us to go up with her and we had the BEST time!
There was a rock water slide, lake, pool, golf course, and plenty of good food. We visited Amicalola Falls, Dahlonega, and took a drive over to Babyland General where Savannah adopted a Cabbage Patch Doll she named Ella Rose.
By August school was in full swing. Emery started baseball and Savannah began tennis lessons. And apparently I lost the ability to use my camera because I don’t have much to show for that month!
And now I find myself on September 12th! Good grief! This year is flying by at rocket speed! If I’m not careful, Christmas will be knocking at my door and I’ll still have Halloween candy sitting next to it!
