Went up and saw Kim yesterday.

The cancer is shrinking but now there is a problem with her stomach. It's either gas or a intestinal obstruction. She has lost more weight and her eyes are sunken in but the bottom half is all swollen. She has little strength and cannot have any food or drink. She is sucking on hard candy cause all she gets is IV fluids. She has been very depressed and told her dad not to call me she would call when she is ready. She apologized and explained what the last few weeks have been like. this round of chem wasn't as hard on her as the ones before but she can't leave till they find out whats going on with her guts.
I plan on going up tomorrow evening to see her.

No new donations have come through but I got an email last night that I have forwarded on to some of my friends. My hope is that they give this to their friends and family. I can't wait to see what the total is at the end of april. We receive 33% of what is sold and with this being a nationwide company anyone can help.

While Kelly was in school, Wyatt and I went to the zoo with the mommy group. Except we didn't stay with the mommy group. I let Wyatt do his own thing and we walked the zoo like 2-3 times. I got a couple of good shots but my batteries went dead and my replacement battery wasn't charged. That's okay, it was more about hanging with my little man.
Of course wyatt really didn't have much interest in the animals, just running around.
Well, I'm gonna try a chill before I head off to work tonight. I'm fighting a bit of a cold.
Happy hump day. Carrie

Donation update

Morning all,
My new donation update stands at $250. I received two checks on Saturday and also found out that my company is going to sponsor me! I have been afraid to ask how much but I know they are sending out a check. Mikey's company gets my letter today and with God's blessing they will be generous. So that's the news for now.


Happy Birthday Oasis!! It was a rockin party. there was a TON of food and I bought 3 cakes and we had one full cake left. the breakfast food was very good and we had plenty left over.

Lovin the new flash. I need more batteries.
It took some real nice pictures. I will have to post the ones I took in the house when it was pretty dark, they turned out great!
See ya later! Yay God!! Carrie

Happy Birthday DAD!

I should have posted this yesterday and I am sorry.
Yesterday we went to Phx to pick up Rob's mom's washer and dryer. We stopped by IKEA and whoa that was mind boggling and so tiresome. Of course what is going to phx if we don't stop off at In and Out burgers. oh yeah. We got home just before 5 and then we had to go shopping for my friend Amanda's son Donovan and his birthday present.
So Happy Birthday Dad. I hope you had a good day. I need to buy stamps and mail you a home made card.
Tomorrow is the church b-day also, so today I'm picking up the helium tank and the 3 cakes. Thankfully the fridge is now fixed but totally empty so I can fill it with the 3 cakes.
I really don't want to go to work today. My allergies are giving me a sore throat and making me very tired.
Next week is Joy's baby shower and I need to go grocery shopping for that and maybe get a gift or give money.
So Far the funds for Paris stand at $200. Mikey's company is going to help out and I'm really hoping that they can be generous. We are going to do a fund raiser with Schwans foods and that one can go nation wide. That seems to be our most promising.
Okay we need to go pick up the cakes. Happy Saturday

I have the coolest husband


Of course you all know that.

Here's the story:

this weekend is the churchs b-day party, and you see it is all in low light, and they need someone to take the picture of the pastor blowing out the candles. Fast forward to the 30th. I'm helping throw a baby shower, also in low light. You know me, I gotta take the pictures. So I talked to Rob for the 5th time and he agreed that I need the 430ex speedlite flash for my camera.

Why is it I can buy scrapstuff and not feel a hint of guilt but I buy something for my camera and I have a mini panic attack??

After he said yes I called around town to find one. The oracle road camera store wanted $300. Ritz camera wanted $300. uumm no. not when i found it online at 3 different stores for $240. So after figuring that sales tax would be about $20. I ordered it online with 2-day shipping for less than if I found it here for 240+tax. I think I got a good deal and yes it's from a well known company.

So now I have about 2 days to play with it, so that i can set it up for Rob to use on Sunday. (Hey I'm wheeling out the cake!) Can't be at two places at once.

Sears is supposed to be here shortly after noon to fix the fridge. This better happen. Actually I can't say that because I have gotten used to living out of the cooler. sad I know.
Oh and the picture is from Rob's fun day in PHX at the races.

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

Not much new to report.
All of my internet ordered stuff has arrived. The fridge is supposed to be fixed tomorrow. This is the 2nd set up time to fix it.
I have gotten all the supplies for the church birthday party, and will order the cake today.

I'm still at $200 for donations but hopefully will hear from my brothers company about a check.
My brother has said he is going to give me $200 and mom is gonna give $200. Things are looking very promising.
I have lost two pounds since last week when I started to eat better and workout. Trying to Keep the momentum going!!! I want to lose 15lbs before I leave
Kelly started her busy bodies preschool again yesterday. she is paid up till mid may when I think it ends for the summer. She enjoyed being back and didn't take long for her shyness to end and get back into the groove.
See I said not much new.
I can still hear. I am still looking at the postives. And I have not heard from Kim.
I helping with a baby shower of the 30th and that feels under control.
On April 14th our mommys group is going to be at mmu for a night of scrappin'. this is the evening after I do the all night walk/photos for the Relay for Life. I have ordered two luminarias 1. for Julie and 2. for Kim for the event. I'm supposed to raise money for that also but I haven't the time so I think I'll try to give $100 to cover me.
yada, yada, yada.
Love Carrie

Hugs Carrie

positive night

Lots of positives tonight. I got in all my books that I ordered, and the t-shirts that i ordered. BIG smiles. Then Mikey's boss is writing up a proposal to see if they can donate to the paris trip. My mother-in-law gave me a check for $200. The owner of Tres Amigos is looking over the letter and should get back to me today if they can donate. I am soooo stoked! Praise God that these companies are even considering and not just giving me a no. Lots of positives!!!!
I have made a dr. appt for my ear. lets see if we can get this thing fixed.
Also I am teaching tonight at J's for 1 person. This could be fun.
I'll update as I know. Carrie
hugs, smiles, hugs, smiles

random ramblings


So this one of the places where I'm gonna write about getting ready for Paris. The first and foremost thing you will see me write about is fundraising and where I stand. I have started a spreadsheet with peoples names and donations. This is for thankyou notes and postcards from france. My goal is $2520. i need to have $1400 by april 15th so that they can buy my plane ticket. We are starting to plan for bake sales and other fundraisers to help out. Yesterday my friend Julie Bailey mentioned that she wants to go also. So instead of raising money for two people we are going for three. Julie still needs to get her passport. So in my eyes everything is still up in the air if she is going.

I'm going to ask at my job if they would support me, and my brother is going to ask if they will also support me. I'll update all as I know.

Yesterday was a rough day for me. Our fridge has been out since last wednesday. we have been living out of a cooler. We were told monday night that the part should be here yesterday or today. I got a phone call 3:45 yesterday to hear that the part will be here on the 21st and they plan on being here on the 22nd. WTF (what the -uck) I started to cry because I feel all this negative is going on around me right now, when all I really want is positive. I can't say that. there were positives yesterday. Julie bailey hopefully going, julie glass getting a new house. my friend amanda gave me a $100 gift card for frys to help out with homegroup food and to restock when the fridge is fixed. those are happy positives and i need to focus on those. All negatives will work out to become positives and its teaching me patience.

Whats kinda funny is that last weeks sunday school lesson was to put all your worries to God because he will provide and that he loves us more than anything else. I needed that reminder today. Actuallu I think it said not to worry because God provides everything that you need.

I mailed out 8 letters and gave my mom 10 copies to hand out. I am leaving this in God's hands. I just pray that everyone will prayerfully consider helping me. I don't feel as panicked as I felt for Poland. This time it seems like a dream.

I was checking sites yesterday to get times and cost for different museums and attractions to see if I get to go. All I keep thinking about is the texture of buildings and the north african people I will get to meet and help. I will be cleaning windows and sweeping walks like in the picture above. My mind is going through different pictures I want to take and to absorb all the feelings that I can while there. I just think of how much france has been through and all it's history and I want to capture it.

So enough rambling for now. Even though it has helped me tremendously. I want a postive day and I'm gonna reach for it.
With God's blessing. Y'all ROCK. love carrie

101

just kidding.

Okay, fridge is still broke but we are getting into the grove of going to the cooler and not automatically opening the fridge. Hopefully the part will show today so I can call the service and schedule.

My work schedule has been cut back. This week I work on Wed. and Sat. on Friday is the Scrap social at Joanns. otherwise I'm free.

My calendar should be getting full soon as I prepare to go to...........
Yes, that's right. One of the team members had to drop out of the mission and they asked me to take her place.
breathe in.
breathe out.
I am leaving this in Gods hands.
If God wants me to go I will raise the money.
This was soooo unexpected and now I feel I have to rush to catch up.
Oh My Goodness. I might be going to PARIS!!!
breathe in.
Breathe out.
What's amazing is that this has been on my heart since last October. A month or so later I found out that a mission team is going to Paris. It stayed in my mind and I would dream, but I didn't express a need/want to go to anyone. Rob and I decided that we would take a year off. Now this has come up and I feel that I am being led here for a reason.
breathe in.
Breathe out.
Mom and I are no longer going to PHX in April cause of course all that money is to be my spending money.
I wonder if this is why I have finally felt ready to scrap my poland trip this last week??
So Miss Julie congrats on the house!! I want pictures and an address!
I'll scrap whenever I can. Just hand over a date.
(I still can't hear out of my left ear) uuuummmmm... any other news..........I can't think of anything so I'll catch you all later.
Yay God!! Love Carrie
P.s. the trip is june 1-11th AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH
Breathe in
Breathe out.

100!!!



My 100th post. whoo hooo


Who cares right. lets get down to business.


My left ear is completely plugged and i can't hear a damn thing out of it. I've tried flushing it out with water and no help. It's driving me nuts.


Rob and I are suppose to go on a date tonight. we are to go to metro resaurant and then see wild hogs with travolta. I'm just waiting on confirmation from the sitter.


Okay big news. Our fridge went out. To the point where all the food is in coolers. The sears guy was supposed to be out yesterday and his truck broke down so was rescheduled for today. got it hard started and it should be okay until the compressor comes in. So now i'm waiting for it to cool enough to put the milk back in. Just my luck I buy six gallons of milk and the fridge goes. But thankfully our warranty doesn't expire until oct of this year and they will cover the cost of any lost food.


Called and left another message for Kim on Wednesday and still have not gotten a call back. This has now been 3 weeks. I'm done.


Put up and new mailbox since ours got bashed in a couple months ago. It's bigger and white and I like it. Now my stuff won't get ripped up when he puts it in. I didn't realize how inexpensive mail boxes are. A basic one is less than $10.


Oh yeah, I'm going to try and enroll Kelly into school for this coming fall. I need to call TAG elementary. I also need to get copies of her birth certificate. I'm excited and nervous. After talking to my friend Michelle we both agree that Kelly is ready and her son who is a month younger will be starting school this coming year too.

What's a post without a picture?
Have a great weekend!
Here's to 100 more posts.

Guess what we did?/

Can you guess? huh? huh?

The kids spent the night at Grandmom's and this morning I got a calling inviting me to go somewhere with them. I said yes because I wanted to practice a couple of photo tips I had read about. I had a good time. It would have been nice to spend more time but the kids were getting grouchy. Have you figured it out yet?? Good if you haven't. Once Wyatt settled down it was easier for me to get the shots, but we will have the chance later this month when Wyatt and I get to go back with the mommy group and Kelly will be in class.

Not much really going on here. I did 3 pages for Joanns to display for the scrap class. I really liked the way they turned out. (I just realized I am repeating myself)

Kim is still not answering my calls or returning the messages I have left. I don't know if I have done anything for her to be ignoring me, so for right now I will leave her alone. She can call me if she chooses. I'm not into rehashing how odd our friendship sometimes is. I will leave it to say that I went from talking almost everyday to her not answering or calling me back. Done...


Work is fine. The DM isn't as bad as I was told she was. I don't mind working with her.

Are you still wondering what we did today?? Turn your head at the second one. Yep we went to the zoo and we even got to feed the giraffe. That was so fun. Both Kelly and Wyatt fed the giraffe and wyatt enjoyed it more than Kelly. The monkeys were howling and swinging, the polar bear was very playful and the tiger was prowling. Heck even the Lion and otters were cool to shoot. I really liked how some of my shots came out. I want to try again because with the Tiger I was rushed in the shots so I have bars in the way. The color is great though. These are going to make a cool scrap page.
So enjoy.
Happy Tuesday. I gotta go cook because tonight is home group and tacos.

I'm closing in on 100!!

Wow.. Seriously thats cool.

Been working very hard on scrapbook layouts for this coming Saturday. This saturday is class preview day at joanns. I won't be able to do it because I will be at Tres Amigos but I needed to have a few layouts for display. They totally rock. I just love the pictures I have of each kid. I had them sent to walmart and had some 5x7 and wallets done besides the 4x6's. I need to work on getting some shots of them together. I really love how the layouts turned out. If you want to see them you'll either have to go to J's or maybe I can get a good picture to post.

I think I have done about six layouts this week. That's awesome for me. Plus I made pj pants for Kelly and myself. I have been very busy this week. This might explain why I have had to start taking my back medicine again. I haven't worked except on Monday and all the pain and pinching started on Tues. night/wed morning. Not good with the District Manager now running the store.
Whats a post without a picture. Happy weekend. love carrie

Wednesday aka hump day






You could actually look at that 2 ways. really.



I have spent this morning washing off Wyatts graffiti around the house. I did not know that boy had tagged some many walls in this house. Thank goodness for the magic eraser. I have used 1 complete eraser and still have more to do.



This week I made Kelly a pair of pj pants (tue) and I have gotten done two layouts (mon) I have discovered that I need to take some layouts out of the main binder and put them in their baby books. This accomplishment feels good. I just realized that I need to take a picture of Kellys pants. It's the first thing I have made and that she can really wear.



Also today I saved all of last years photos to disc to protect and save for the future. That is one thing i can cross off the worry list. So miss Kelly went to the Renaissance festival with my mom last saturday. she had a great time. Mom and Marie bought Kelly a circlet of flowers and these jeweled encrusted wings. I'm glad she had a good time. Mom didn't like the fact that there were so many people that they wouldn't move so she could take a picture. One lady flatly said no. You can see in the picture that mom didn't get the shot she wanted because this lady refused to move. I think with some photo shop I can clone out her head and make it look like part of the tree.
Okay need to go and have lunch with Rob and his mom just came over too. soo have a good Hump day. maybe rob will get lucky tonight. heheheh
hugs Carrie

Hanging by a thread.

Okay so I totally got ditched tonight by a certain friend who said, "I'll call you this evening". I see how you are leave me hanging. uh huh.
Course that's the way my friends treat me. Even Kim's "I'll call you right back", ends up being the next day or five hours later. Which by the way we have not had the gabfest because she didn't answer her phone and still hasn't answered her phone.
But life goes on and I still have my Grey's Anatomy. I didn't cry. I mean come on they are NOT going to kill off their main star, but I'm sure it got a big ratings boost. It was a good episode though.
Cleaned up Kelly's room and moved it around. Now she has more space to make a bigger mess. Actually let me clarify; it's not so much Kelly as it is Wyatt the Destructor. If only I could get that boy to pick up his messes. AAAkkkk. His room is still on the verge of chaos since we changed beds and moved it around. (side note) I should take pictures because I have some scrapbook stickers that would fit perfectly. Now I won't have till wait till they are older to use them.
Shoot I changed font colors and now I have screwed up the color on the blog. Sorry if you have any trouble reading this.
So on Saturday, rain or shine my hubby and brother are headed up to PHX to the checker,schucks, kragen nationals to see top fuel dragsters and funny cars. Now I could make a red neck joke but unless you have been there you cannot make a joke about watching a car go from zero to 300 in less than 6 seconds and feel the ground vibrate from the thrust of the engine. It is addicting and ear popping but sooo awesome to see these guys and gals thunder down the straightaway. Forget the beer and chicks in short tops, just think about all the power and and ....... it's just so cool to watch the big guys you only get to see on tv live and in person. Granted the crowds suck and I always got sunburned the 2 times we went but just the cars are cool.
SOOOO, the kiddos and I are hanging together on Saturday and as of right now we have no plans. hhuuummm, I'll have to get us out of the house. I'll think about this.
Have a good friday.
Carrie P.S. Aunt "flo" came to visit and that explains ALOT!!

Busy weekend.

Wyatt got moved into his own twin bed. thankfully he is sleeping in his own room instead of joining us most nights. We hope it continues this way.

typical stuff though with work and church. Had a pretty good family day on Monday with Rob home. Got lots accomplished.

Kim came home monday night and so far seems to be doing good. I plan on having a good ol gab session tomorrow.

I really don't know what to talk about tonight.

I had a minor meltdown before homegroup tonight. I went to pay a bill and was surprised on how much of our tax return is gone. Yes we did things on our list but I guess in part of my mind I still expect to see almost all of it still there. I mean we are okay, but the funds are dwindling down as we do the things we planned to do.

So after i saw that I had to run to the grocery store to get butter and fill the truck up with gas. That just compounded my freakout. more money gone. When I came home Rob asked me if I was all right and I just lost it. It was a good cry and I needed it. It's okay, I just had alot stored up and it hit the surface. To put it into some perspective; I started to tear up when the springer spaniel James won wesminster dog show last week. (no I'm not pregnant, maybe PMS)

So tomorrow people are coming into work to shoot a commercial. THANK GOD! I won't be in until the evening. It looks to be soooo stressful.

Our homegroup is going to start a new course for childrearing next week. Rob and I so need this. We actually started something to try out. I have a frame that we put the house rules and disciplinary action in. Once I get done I should take a picture for posterity. Rules: 1. no yelling, 2. no dirty or mean faces, 3. no back talk, 4. no throwing toys. Discipline 1. Warning 2. time out- nose to the wall (k-5 min. w-3min) 3. spanking. we are firm in our belief that as long as we follow these rules our kids will start to behave better. The course that we are starting in called, Making children mind without losing your by Dr. Kevin Leman.

I guess I had something to talk about afterall huh?

Friday news WARNING epic post

Sorry I've been MIA. I have been kinda depressed and otherwise in a planning stage. I haven't been worked since Monday and though it's been nice and I wish it would continue we need to have money to pay bills. Which sparked the whole baby debate.
This week we got Wyatt a twin bed. yes he is 2 1/2 but since we got the bed he has stayed in his all night. way cool. But i had to put the toddler bed into storage. I didn't feel the need to cry. You would think I would be emotional, my baby growing up and passing into another stage. but I didn't. I didn't feel that would be the last time I would use the toddler bed. Are you getting my meaning. (I know I'm somewhat rambling).
Rob says that if I want another child that is alright with him. So the projected start date for "operation baby 3" is on our 10th anniversary in April.
So this is the depressed and planning stage, but also planning on how to spend tax return money. We hope to do some renovations on our bathroom and replace windows and now we need a new water heater. More planning. I can't find shoes that are cute and fit my big feet, depressed.
A happy thing is Kim just called and gave me the report on her CT scan. All the cancer is either shrunk or gone and though she still has 2 more treatments to go through her cervical tumor is almost completely gone. Now after the next 2 chemo treatments they (dr) want to do a bone marrow scan to see if there are any cancer cells in her body and then she may be in remission!! If she goes into remission she said they usually only do a check once a year. I asked if they could do it every three months. she laughed. I'm serious. I want to stay on top of this.
They are still talking about a GI scope but Kim is afraid because of the gastric that they might hurt her. so right now she is refusing unless it is an emergency.
Actually back to the planning stage. Mom and I are going to PHX in April. So I have been typing out all the products that we are looking for. Lots of paper and clear stamps. we are going with goals in mind and shopping like its hot!
Have a great weekend. I'm gonna go tax refund shopping!! hugs carrie

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Just stopping by to say Hi and that I'm going to visit Kim this morning. My MIL has the kids so once I'm finished prepping things for homegroup dinner tonight I'll take a fast shower and go up to see her.

How is that for a run on sentence??
I'll update before the day is done.
Love cArrIe

Thursday, February 08, 2007

Hello? is this thing on?


I know I have been alittle off on the posting but no comments on Mikes pictures? not even from Mom??

Not much going on.

*Got our taxes done and sent in. Now we are price shopping to get the bathroom redone. We have a list of things to fix in the house. We shall see what we can accomplish. We hope we both can have alittle spending money on account that Rob wants golf clubs and I'm wanna go scap shopping in Phx in april for CKC with my momma. Selfish I know but pray that it all works out.

The cold is now fading but the new cough is coming on. what a pain in the ass.

*Rob went in to see Kim on Tuesday and she is doing okay. She had to get a transfusion because her count got low and they (doctors) are talking about putting her on dialysis because her kidneys started to shut down. I really don't understand what all this means but I do know it's serious.

*On to brighter news. It's so nice here right now(70's) that I have the door open. I might even get out the flip flops.

*Did anyone see that those plastic shoes Croc's are coming out with flip flops? they are cute. I might have to buy a pair. The original Croc's are so ugly I refused to let anyone in the house own a pair and Rob's mom went and bought both the kids a pair. sigh. at least they will be at her house.

*I have been editing all my photos for the past year and have deleted a bunch but the cost is still around $200 for 1000 photos.

My goal today is to do the kids laundry and scrapbook. My friend Michelle is coming over to work on a project so I'm hoping to get a few pages done.

SO IF YOU STOP BY LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU (yes I am shouting!!)

hugs and kisses Carrie

ode to Kim part 2



So Mikey took the plunge and had Rob shave his head down. Now he didn't go as short as Rob but its shorter than he's had it in a long time. Just for the record he does look handsome with the longer hair.



I have quite a few pictures of Mikey getting shaved so no you are not going to see the reverse mohawk or the lopsided mohawk pictures. I'm trying to spare him his dignity.



So while the menfolk were shearing I was trying to get some cool shots of Mr. Wyatt in his uber cool t-shirt.

Dang that boy can move fast. Out of 5+ shots this is the only one in focus. He looks so innocent in this picture but we all know what a hellion he can be.


Haven't been in to see Kim since Tuesday because........I caught a COLD!!!!

Of course she won't answer her phone. dammit. So she doesn't know why I haven't been up there. I even tried calling her Dad but his number was on the fritz.

So I'm blowing green snot and feeling guilty because I can't see my friend and she is probably mad at me because I haven't been up to see her. what a pickle.

It will resolve.


Happy Superbowl!!

GO COLTS!!!

Got in a couple of new scrappin things and I got in a couple of new mags so I'm feeling inspired. Maybe I'll get a couple of pages done.

Have started making a list of ALL the things I want to buy when Mom and I go to Mesa in April. If I can wait that long. new stuff starts arriving mid February. And I have seen some cool new products coming out.

Okay I'm gonna go chill and get ready for the game. Have a Happy Sunday!
Oh, by the way,
screw my brothers dignity. Ya gotta see this. I love you Mikey. And Thank you. Sis

Happy Hump Day!
Kim was admitted last night for round two of chemo. She should be there for about two weeks.
Her hair is a massive dredlock and is super thin in front from her pulling on it.We were supposed to get our cuts together but she hasn't felt well all weekend. She loves my hair though. She still wasn't feeling well Monday night and seemed depressed. I hate seeing her when she is down.

Rob and I went up to see Kim. She is in room 115 and they started her chemo today. She is having a great day. It was the old Kim again. We brought up Robs clippers and right after we walk in she hands me a pair of scissors. I told her we brought the electric shaver. rob did the honors and she now has hair about 1/4in. Boy does she look like her mom. She did a great job handling the cut. no tears. We all agreed it was because she knew it needed to come off and that it was just us in the room and not at a salon with people staring. She loved it when i rubbed her head and said she felt so free. It looked pretty cool. We are looking to get some of that colored gel to spike up whats left and maybe tomorrow I will go looking for a cap to wear when she gets cold. She is starting to go thru menopause and was having hot flashes. Kim will be 33 in March. Her mother went through menopause at 29.
**Can you believe a week ago we had snow? Today was great with the rain.
I went through the kids' rooms and got rid of two lawn bags of toys. It felt great to get rid of stuff and to have room to roam around. Washed all the bedding and did a great job vacuuming all the nooks and crannies. I think in a couple of months I will do round two of the great spring clean out.
I'm gonna sign off for now. I'm really tired and I'm making stupid typing errors. You'll see one night I'm gonna just keep typing and you will see all my typos.
Lotta love Carrie
