I was talking with Bethany this morning and I realized while talking to her that it had been 4 months since I actually posted anything to my blog. So therefore I am going to try and get caught up. I have missed blogging but so very much has been going on it is hard to know just where to start. The drama I was having has calmed down and I have taken my blog public again. I am grateful to see you all again.
Love,
Me

This Week
I don't know what it is about this week. I don't know if it is because crop is over or becuase the kids are off track, or if it is that it has been a bad money week (what is new there) or what. I also had a few meetings I didn't want to have this week and my boss is officially gone at work. I don't know what is wrong with me. Nothing actually is wrong. I am just feeling a little blue as Kimmie would put it. I can't seem to snap out of it. It could also be my SAD (seasonal anti-depression), it has been really icky this week outside. I just wanted everyone that I have been moody with that it is me. Nothing is wrong I am just feeling a little down and I don't know why. I am hopeful that things will look up in the next few days. I am just in a really weird mood. If I don't snap out of it make sure that you slap me over the head and yell or something. But life is fine. My mom and Erik keep asking what is wrong and nothing is actually wrong. I am just having one of those weeks.

Thank you for the help
I wanted to thank everyone for their help in getting us ready and moving us. We are still in boxes althouh we are a lot farther than I thought we would be at this point. I lost my make-up and curling iron for a while but other than that the move went fairly smooth. I am really grateful for everyone helping with this insane project and being there for our family in this crazy situation. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who came and helped. I had my old house clean and into my new house by 7:00 pm. I couldn't believe it. The help that we received was amazing. I know that this move is where my family is suppose to be at this time but it was incredibly hard. Thank you to everyone for making this hard situation a little bit easier.
All my love!
All my love!

Moving
I wanted to let everyone know that we are moving. We will be moving to a house not far from my high school home territory. Kimmie's meds and the house are running to high, so we have sold the home and are moving. I am really sad that we have had to make this decision although happy that we found a wonderful place and are still close to everyone were we have been. So if anyone is interested in a moving party we are moving on the 15th. Lots of Love to everyone here.

Cancer Scare
A little over a month ago I found a lump on my left breast. I don't know if I should say that on a blog but that is where it was. I had a routine appointment with my doctor a week or so later so I just ignored it. My doctor found it and put me on a high dose of Vitamin E. She said that if it didn't go down to call her back and they would schedule a Mammogram and a Ultrasound. So I did that after it didn't go away. I went in for my ultrasound and mammo and the results we that they couldn't see anything but they could feel something there. So they sent me to get a breast MRI. I was suppose to have the results back last Thursday. Although they weren't back and my doctor was out of town for the weekend. So I just received the results a few minutes ago. I am still waiting for my doctor but knowing how nervous I am about this due to the family history the nurse told me the results. The lump is scar tissue. We don't know at this point from what or what they are going to do about it. Erik somehow remembers something being hooked up to me when I hemridged after Johnny. But I don't remember that but I was virtually dead so I wouldn't trust my view of anything that happened at that point. But regardless it is not cancerous! That is the main thing! I am so very grateful for all of the prayers and love everyone has showed me. I couldn't have made it through this without you. It has been a crazy few weeks and thank you for hanging in there with me.

Bad Day
Have you ever just had one of those days? Today is one of them for me. I woke up to Erik's friend calling to say he wasn't going to pick up Erik that he was sick. Mind you this really isn't a big deal exept that it was 3:30am. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. I love my husband but no I don't want to talk at 3:30 I want to be asleep. I love that he has been carpooling lately. It makes my life soooo much easier not to menchion the gas I save. You wouldn't think the 4 1/2 miles Erik goes to work wouldn't add up. But taking my lunch and trading him cars and him coming back to get me and all that stuff adds up. So I hope his friend is feeling well in the next few days so today we have to rotate the car.
Anway back to my story. Then I finally get back to sleep. I slept through the alarm. Johnny finally comes in and asks, "will you ever turn that thing off?" Referring to my alarm. I looked at the clock and I only had 15 minutes until Kimmie's bus was going to be at my house. So I ran in and woke up Kimmie. She was not about to get up today. She had some seizure problems over the weekend and was not going to get out of bed. So I forced her to get up go to the bathroom and get ready. By this time her bus was at my door. I sent Johnny out to tell the bus driver just one minute. So that I could get Kimmie her meds and shoes on. So I finally get her out the door and tell her bus driver to have Kimmie go to eat breakfast at school. I ran upstairs and got in the shower and started to get ready. Then I remember if I am going to trade the car with Erik I need to have Johnny ready as well. So I ran downstairs poored him a bowl of cereal and hand him his clothes. To this he says,"Mom I don't want to wear this today." I about strangelled him. Because right as he says that Erik calls and is half way home. I ignored Johnny's I don't want to wear this and told him to get dressed while I ran up the stairs. At this point I am still only half dressed and need to do my hair and make-up. So I get my make-up in a bag to take with me. Hurry and do my hair. Erik walks in and says, "Johnny why didn't Mom get you dressed we need to leave." To this I just said, "Please get your son dressed." I finally got Erik back to work, Johnny to Bethany's and on my way to work. Then I remembered I forget everything I needed to bring today for my EAU board meeting. Realizing that I was going to have to trade the car later I decided to just go to work and not turn around. I stopped and splurged on a McMuffin sandwich from McD's. When I finally got to eat it was cold. I got to work only 30 minutes late talked to my mom and went to work.
No sooner did I start a big project than Kimmie's school called. The conversation goes like this, "Mrs. Hansen Kimmie is having trouble at school we think she doesn't feel well. Will you please come and get her." Me (really suprised after this morning), "really, what is happening?" "She is hitting the teachers, she is complaining about a headache and screaming." I agreed to come and get her. All the way over thinking of all the things I was going to say for hitting her teachers. I walked into her classroom to pick her up. Her and the main teacher were the only ones in the classroom, I said Kimmie why are you having trouble today? Her teacher pipes in saying, "I am so sorry, I didn't want you to think that I did something horrible but I put my hands on Kimmie's cheeks when she was acting up and told her to look at me and stop. She started to scream and said I was hurting her. I didn't mean to do anything (her teacher almost crying at this point). My daughter laughing. I really wanted to just smack my daughter. I tell her teacher not to worry about it that Kimmie was fine and I do the same thing when she gets out of control (the psycologist told me to do that). I made Kimmie apologize to her teacher give her a hug and pick up her stuff to go home. On the way out of the parking lot Kimmie says to me, "I'm hungry, let go to a nice restraunt and get rootbeer." Kimmie's idea of nice restraunt is KFC. Like I was going to reward my daughter for being such a brat.
Short of the other long story I picked up Erik. Bethany still has Johnny and will bring him home later. I dropped off Kimmie and Erik picked up my EAU work and headed back to work. By this point I have been gone from work 1 1/2 hours and because breakfast wasn't good I was hungry. So I stopped and picked up a corn dog (my comfort food from college) and put the car in drive and headed back to work. Then I dropped my corn dog full of extra catsup, all over me, my car, and my purse.
I give up I am going back to bed. I really need a good nap!
Thanks for listening to this big long bad day...

Life update
I don't know why this week has been so crazy. I feel like I haven't had more than two minutes. I don't really know why. It just seems to be one of those weeks. I think I am still a little drained from being sick a couple weeks ago. Kimmie got sick at about 3:30 this morning. I really hate waking up to sick kids. She was fine by about 10:00 although she was already out of school and I didn't want to risk it. Johnny is doing well although Bethany is out of town this week and he hasn't stopped asking when they will be getting back. He is so sad that his best friend Tyler is in Disneyland. I will be really happy to let him know that they are starting their trip home tomorrow.
My legislative bill cleared the house! I am so grateful for everyone's support and letters. As soon as I know the Senate number I will ask again to write you senators (I think it changes numbers for the senate although I don't know). We cleared the house unanimously. I can't believe that we have gotten it this far. Last year we kept getting railroaded in the house committee and it kept getting pushed back on the house floor list. I am really proud that we are making a difference.

Life Update
Part of the reason why I started this blog is to let my family and friends know what is happening in my life.
So if you haven't heard our recent news we have had Kimmie do a stay in Primary Children's in the ICU. She is doing better and we have had to make a medication switch again. The medication we bring in from France increased it's price 325%. So seeing as we can't afford the increase we are making some changes to the base medications that we can get here. So that in time we can take down the need for the Stiripentol (the med from France). We are now a week into the changes and all seems to be doing okay. Although I don't want to say that for fear that something will change that. She is doing well and went back on track yesterday! The good thing about her trip to the hospital. She has been eating like a horse the last couple weeks and has gained five pounds! She had her first pair of pants ever that were too tight around her waist yesterday!
Johnny is doing well. He is finally potty trained! NO MORE DIAPERS FOR OUR HOUSE!!! He has grown so much in the last few weeks. I can't believe the clothes we bought him for his birthday in October are getting too short for him already. He is such a good brother. While Kimmie was in the hospital he sent his new blanket from Grandma to keep Kimmie company. He acts more like the big brother than the little brother. He is getting excited to go to the "big school" but really wants to take his pre-school teacher with him. He just loves pre-school and would be there every day if I would let him. Now that Kimmie has gone back on track he is really bored and reminded me yesterday just how boring I am.
Erik has been diagnosed with diabetes and had three seizures about a week ago. He hasn't had multiples like that in a LONG time. He is getting better but was off of work all of last week. He returned to work for a really long day yesterday. But he did really well. I was irritated that they had him come back for inventory last night and then had to open this morning but he seems to be doing okay. He called a little while ago and seemed tired but good. He is going for another dutch oven competition this weekend. I am not really excited about it. Although it is the last competition before the world competition in February. The other fun thing is that if you have qualified for world's than you can't compete this weekend. So he is set on winning and going to world's in February.
As for me with everyone else I don't know that I have time for anything else. I am working on Christmas cards and presents. I will be making a lot of my gifts this year for the adults. So I decided to start early. The other thing I am doing is... I will be putting up Christmas cards and gifts for people to purchase for their families and neighbors on my blog. I get sooo many comments on my Christmas cards every year that I decided this is a way to help earn the money for the increase in medication costs. I think that is all that is happening in our neck of the woods. So check back around Thanksgiving if you are interested in purchasing your homemade Christmas card or neighbor gifts. I am hopefully to have samples of items up by then.
I would love to hear from everyone. I would also like to check out your blogs if you are so inclined to send me your blogging address. I still don't know much about this but I am starting to like this.
Love Ya,
Me
