The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Not in that order.

I have a sick sense of "how things should be" and so I start with the ugly, because I havetohavetohaveto! I am one of those people who wants to see, even if I know it's going to be gross. So, to indulge those who are sick-minded like me, behold the "ewwww".....

Sorry, it's just how I work. This is the beauty that is now my husbands belly. Pretty gnarly, isn't it?

And then there is the bad. . . .

This is the nasty little devil of a contraption that they shoved up my baby's nose and down into his belly to suck out all of his stomach "stuff" so he didn't barf. They had just flushed it before the picture, it had disgusting gooey yellow-green crud being sucked out of it 24/7 for like 4 days. I seriously almost vomited when I saw the little container that it was being "suctioned" into. WAAAAAAY gross.

And then there is the good. I'm sorry, but every now and then my husband and I do something incredibly cute, and this one takes the cake for the time being. It was before his surgery, but I had forgotten about it because it was on his sisters camera. Damn, we are cute in this picture!

We were out to dinner for Rachelle and Den's birthdays, and we took all 3 of the kids to DeAngelos. I had never been brave enough to take them all there before, because my kids can be REALLY STINKING LOUD, but they were so good that night.

So, I am back to work and all promoted. Woo-ha, I'm still waiting for a paycheck that reflects the promoted part, but oh well. Justin is doing really well and actually doing a decent job of following Dr's orders. He's not lifting (much...) and not working, but he had been doing some estimates and making phone calls. He feels good which kind of bites him in the rear because he will start to push it a bit because he's not hurting. I promptly bite his head off for doing whatever it is that he's not supposed to and he waits until I'm at work or not looking to finish. Gotta love him, because there really isn't much else to do with the boy sometimes.

The kids are good, the boys are playing soccer and Den had his first goal of the season yesterday. They have both been playing quite a bit of defense this year, and Den played goalie the first half yesterday and had a shut-out then scored his goal in the 3rd quarter. Ty played really well and had a couple of kicks that made his daddy proud. Hailey is just getting more devious every day and she comes up with the funniest sayings. I told her she needed to take a shower before she could run errands with me last week and she said "I know, because I smell like a week old hotdog!". Some people kids, I swear!

Thanks for checking in on us, and leave a comment so I know who's looking.
