The grands and I are trying to find things to do today as our plans to swim have been put on hold due to rain. We stayed in the pool all yesturday afternoon and had a blast playing. Hannah has gotten really brave, she is jumping off the side of the pool without needing anyone to catch her. Haley has become a little fish in the water. I will have them until Monday afternoon and am really enjoying them. Needless to say the house is not being touched while they are here.
I have managed to recoup from the California trip and working immediately after coming home. Had to attend two classes this past week and didn't get too much out of them as I was too sleepy to sit there for hours (even tho I had to).

I will work starting next Tuesday for 7 days, have 7 days off to clean house and get things organized and then on Wed. the 2nd of August I will be entering the hospital to have the much dreaded back surgery. I know all will be ok but I am still apprehensive about all this. I don't know if the surgery or the fact I will not be able to do anything for almost 6wks except walk is what is bothering me the most. I know by the end of 3 months this house will be driving me absolutely insane. I plan to give the house a good "spring cleaning" the week before the surgery. I hope those who come in (children, grands and of course the husband) will keep the house as clean as possible during the time I will not be able to pick up after them. One can only hope.

I have tried to log on to make comments on Greg's blog but have not received my password from the site he uses now. So, Greg, in response to your blog, I will get Mike to download the pictures off my camera and send them to you. I think I got some pretty good ones, including you d-n-c-ing w/Heather and Janice (not at the same time).
