It is Monday morning May 8th. This house is like a tomb (we have had the babies since Thursday night). May 5th was Tara and Buddy's anniversary and we kept the children for them to go away for a few days. Sleeping all night doesn't happen when Hannah is around. She told her Mom the other day that "I woke up 1000 times last night." It feels like it is that many times. She is the 2 year old and she awakens around 1-2 AM to let you know she is wet and needs new panties and juice. Then she awakens around 6 AM to let you know she is up for the morning. It is very tiring but this morning when I awakened to a very silent house, I missed the dickens out of them (a southern saying - meaning, I really missed the children being here). I had managed to get the house cleaned before they came over but you couldn't tell it this morning (gives me something to do while I miss them). They are such joys.
Mike got the slide we bought for the pool set up and secured Saturday and we had to watch Hannah like a hawk because she climbed straight up and slid down. Mike caught her at the end before she went into the pool - which is sill green from being covered this winter. She was determined to go swimming.
Haley spent a couple of days straightening her playhouse up and then teaching Hannah and me in "school". She was really sweet but got frustrated w/Hannah. Mike worked on the farm - when it wasn't storming and I played w/the kids. Had a great weekend.
Teri is doing fine. She over did it a little last Friday and was hurting a little. But, she is recuperating well. I had another epidural last Tuesday on my back for this disc. I now have had 4 doctors tell me (after seeing my last 2 MRI's), that I need to go see a nuero surgeon. So, I will call today and make an appointment for a consultation. I am really dreading this but, my back is not getting any better and this last epidural hasn't worked. All the doctors are telling me I have no disc in L-5, S-1 area and it is now bone on bone causing pain. I looked at the MRI's w/our radiologist at work and his first comment was "Ohhh". I told him we don't use language like that. Then when the anesthesiologist saw the report his first comment was "Ouch". Really builds confidence there. Anyway, will keep you informed.
Haven't blogged until now because once again, I tried to get on the computer last week and couldn't get the screen to come up. Mike said it was hung up. I think I am the one "hung up" when it comes to these things. It was slow this AM but finally allowed me on. The slowness could be due to the fact it has rained here for the past 4 days and when it rains at our house, the phone services are affected (don't know why).
Hope your weekend was pleasant and relaxing. Will post later.

Thanks for the offer to send us rain. We need it. Because of the smoke we have had several deaths, the most recent was a terrible accident on I-95 with two truck drivers killed.
I am from Colbert County in the Northeast corner of Alabama. Went to school at Cherokee, just off of 72 highway outside of Tuscumbia, Alabama.
Peace.
Steve, our family is well acquainted w/ Colbert Cty. Our mother grew up there. Greg and I both lived in the area for awhile (Greg long than I).
Greg, I think Mike has done the defragmenting. I don't even know what that means, so there is NO WAY I will attempt it. You are right about piping in sunshine out here though.
Sounds like you had a busy but fun weekend. We'll keep your back in our prayers.
If I knew how to post pictures, I would do a better job. I will put it on my list of things to do (take a class in computer science), in the year 3000, which will probably be the only year I will have nothing to do.
