Ohh LaLa.

Lately I haven't been doing much. Just working a lot. Usually on my day's off I wake up and go to my mom's and lay out. I don't lay out at home b/c there is no where for me to lay out in my swim suit. 

On Wednesday Olive and I went to my mom's and the chicken's we out. All 7 of them. They would not leave me alone! They all just hung out next to me and one pecked my toe.

Later Wednesday I went and watched the kids +2. Olive was being very antsy the whole time I don't know why. I was sitting on the floor in the kids room, and Olive decided to chill in the dresser. She's strange.

My incisions are healing great. They're not as big as I thought they would be, thankfully! I haven't noticed me feeling a ton better, but some of my symptoms have decreased. I know in the long run getting the surgery is worth it. The only thing that sucks is I still have a bruise from where my I.V was placed. It's in a spot everyone can see. I have at least 5 people ask me at work what happened to my arm. One asked me if I was abused? Then another mom was like "You better tell your husband to stop beating you." Really people? Obviously they don't know Cj.

2 weeks ago.

yesterday.

I found out about these really cool nail polish strips. They have like 20 different designs to choose from and you simply just peel, place on your nail, and trim away the extra nail polish. It says it lasts up to 10 days, it better!

Olive sleeps and lays around a lot now that it's so hot! She's a lazy girl. It's so darn hot in our house! :(

Hmm Lilac's.

Last night I thought I would be well enough to see Super 8. It was a really good movie, just long. I'm regretting it today. I'm able to get up and do things on my own, still just really really sore. I feel best when I'm just laying on my back. When I'm sitting up for too long I start cramping inside. I haven't really noticed a difference pain wise with me getting my gallbladder out. But I hope in the long run it'll be worth it.

Cj went to a show in SLC tonight and I knew that would totally be pushing it so I decided to just stay home. I went over to my mom's and got Sunny. We ran to the Orem mall and I got some new Bed Bath and Body Works candles. They smell SOOOO good. I got a lilac one smells just like summer. Also it was 50% double score!

Sunny picked out this ring, she loves owls.

Then I got myself a ring for being such a good patient :)

We got home from the mall and Olive and Sammy come running outside. Sammy jumps right in my car ready to go somewhere! He's so funny.

Olive is so photogenic, she's such a cute little fur ball.

Yes, she's still in heat. It seriously feels like it's been forever. She's been such a little hoe lately. Miyagi keeps scratching at our door for her to come out. I let her out today with him and she just sticks her butt up in the air for him to do what he wants with her! She's such a brat. I let him just sniff her and she runs around him. Then they dart down the street! I was yelling for Olive, and did she listen? Of course not. So I had to get Cj to chase after her. She's really naughty when she's around Miyagi like not listening to me. 

Monday I go back to work, after being off for 10 days. I'm happy to go back to work, but I'm hope my body will be ready for me to go back to work. I'm so happy the weather has been nice. I just need to recover so I can go to seven peaks with my seven peaks pass! I'm so excited for summer! <3

Update: Gallstone

Tuesday morning I had surgery, I got my gallbladder taken out. I had a gallstone measuring 17mm and it had been really painful for me the last 7 months. While I had work off I thought it would be a good idea just to get it out. Cj took Tuesday off so he could be with me. My mom met us at the surgical center. This is me before..

I was super nervous but I knew everything would be ok.


This is me after...

I look pretty pathetic in this picture. I was still waking up and on lots of pain meds. The surgery went really well. Cj said they were really quick it only took them 45 minutes. My gallbladder was diseased, they said it has been for about 2 years, so I guess it's a good thing I got it taken out.


Here is a picture of the gallstone they took out.. Sorry it's kinda gross.

The last couple days I have just been laying down, sleeping and taking it easy. I've been really bummed lately b/c the weather has been SO nice out! And I cant enjoy it b/c it's hard for me to sit up on my own.


Cj has been taking such good care of me! I was completely surprised on how much he wanted to be there for me and help me. He has been such a great hubby. My mom has been really great too. I'm lucky to have my family around me to help me feel better. I'm so thankful for my family and Cj who have been taking care of me the last couple days. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

P.s. Thanks ladies from work!

How do you like me now?

Picture Monday.

Cj was SO happy when he caught a fish on Friday night. It rained on me and I got eaten by bugs. But I was able to buy a new dress for going! Hehe

 Beware of my dog.

I'm in love with the shatter nail polish <3

 My sister's kitty Violet.

 Cj and his brother Jamie. Cj loves taking pictures can't you tell??

Finally we got a good one of us!

I'm so full from eating so much at my parents. I feel like i'm going to barf, I hate that! We had a get together with Cj's family, it was nice. And Olive decided to go into heat today, soooo not stoked. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then i'm off for 12 days, what am I going to do with myself? Cj leaves for Vegas on Friday with his friends for the weekend. I hate sleeping alone :(

My teddy gram is growing hair.

Last night we worked after hours. My good friend Krystal was working with me and my mom had bought me this bag of teddy grams. I hadn't opened the bag yet so Krystal asked me if she could open them to have some. She pulled the first cookie out and she was like "Eww! My teddy is growing hair!" and at first I was thinking like hairy mold.. And she showed it to me and it had this thick hair/whisker coming out of it's cheek. It was baked in! So freaking nasty. I was laughing but then I would look at it and it made me feel sick.

We taped it on the bag and put a posted note saying "What's wrong with this teddy bear?" and put it on Dr. Matt's desk. So i'm cleaning up the rooms and I go back there and the cookie is missing. I look at him and I was like "Did you eat that teddy gram that was taped on the bag?" and he was like "yeah, why?" And I just started cracking up, and covering my mouth, b/c it made me feel sick knowing he ate that. He ate the hairy cookie. I don't know why but if I find hair in my food I will not eat the food. I think it's so gross. Even when I see hair on the kitchen table or anything, it also grosses me out. Hair is just gross when it's not on your body.

We are still apartment searching, no bueno. We're thinking maybe what we have now isn't too bad after looking at some places :/ 

Sweet little Cora sitting on my lap.

The kids got some balloons at Macey's and they came to stop by work and Cora was so funny she had to have all the balloons! Isn't her pikachu hair adorable?

I had mentioned Cj playing soccer and the boys begged if they could go. So I took them and they played on the playground and later watched Cj. They were so cute when Cj would get the ball they would get so excited, and say "Go Cj!" It was fun taking them with me. And Cj made a goal! 

Sam and Eli.

Monday I really wanted to go to Forever 21 to get some jewelery, but Cj and I are trying to save money b/c we are planning a San Fransisco trip the end of July. He said it would be fine for me to do that so I ran to the mall and of course I see other things I wanted. Like some new perfume! Viva La Juicy had this package deal with perfume, body wash and body lotion and I really wanted it. Cj got a credit card to build his credit. I got a credit card also, but it's in his name. So I thought if I really wanted it, and he wants to build credit maybe I should get it. But being the good wife that I try to be, I called him to ask him first, he said no :( Credit cards are for emergencies only. But sometimes getting perfume can be an emergency right?!?? Anyway's I didn't get it, I need to just think of all the shopping I can do in SF ;)

Turn that frown upside down.

Another week that comes and goes. I really feel like I don't do much on the weekends, or even on the weekdays. Is that what's supposed to happen when you get married? I'm not in the best mood today. I let the little things get to me and I guess I just have a lot on my mind that I keep inside myself. I'm just not happy today, which is sad b/c today was a beautiful day.

Olive got a bath. She hates bath's. Hehe

Olive was so mad after her bath she went and pouted in her bed that she NEVER goes on. She just mad dogged me all night until it was time for bed.

Olive and Miyagi playing in the front yard.

We're currently looking for a new place to rent. We have been here for a year and a half and the insulation is really bad. So in the winter's it's really cold, and in the summer it's really hot. So we are trying to get out of here before it's summer. It's literally impossible to find a place to rent, that's nice that is pet friendly. It's a joke. That is another stress in my life.

I watched the kids on Wednesday for a little while Matt and Mel went to play some golf. The kids are so cute, especially my little Cora.

Olive and Cj lounging.

On Friday I woke up and went to my mom's to go lay out. There isn't anywhere for me to lay out at my place with me not feeling uncomfortable. Sammy and Olive were by my side the whole time I was outside. I love the warm weather.

I made muddy buddies last night. They are so good, but so addicting. We still have a lot left over. I'm hoping this week goes well. I just need to keep my chin up and not let the little things get to me and make me in a bad mood :( It's hard too when your husband has a full on beard, and wants to kiss you all the time. I DO NOT like his beard at all. It hurts my face and I think he looks more handsome with a soft shaved face. See the little things.. I can do this, I can do this.

Oh Heyyyyy.

Tuesday was my baby sister's birthday. She's the big 15! For her birthday Cj and I got her a penguin pillow pet, and candy. Duh what else would a 15 year old want? Whenever it's your birthday you get to pick what you want for dinner and my dad will make you ANYTHING. She wanted chicken curry, so yummy! Then we finished it off with my dad's homemade ice cream pie cakes. My dad is awesome.
Olive has a new best friend, her name is Violet. My sister Haley has a kitten, and at first we didn't let Olive see her or sniff her, b/c we worried that she would try to kill her. But one day Violet was out and Olive just ran over to her and Violet kinda swatted at her to let her know who's boss. Then they just started chasing each other around the house. It's so funny to watch them play.

Thursday was a very busy day at work. We had two head lacerations. One little boy fell and hit his head last night from falling off the slide. He needed two stitches. Then we had a little girl fall at the park and hit her head on a rock? What a conquincidence. She just needed her head glued. They both were pretty brave.

Didn't a lot this weekend. I worked Saturday, Cj had a soccer game. The weather was beautiful yesterday! sadly my legs got sunburned while I was watching Cj play soccer. They hurt so bad last night.

Cj and I went a saw Source Code. It was an alright movie, I got really bored towards the end. Lately I've been getting really bored of movies, and things.

Trying to look for a new place to live, it is impossible to find a nice, big place that allows pets. It's so ridiculous. So far Cj and I have looked at 3 places that allowed pets and didn't like them. Tomorrow we look at 3 more places, lets hope we get a good feeling about one of them!

I have to update some pictures of my niece Molly moo!

Isn't she the cutest baby girl ever? Well I think she is :)

Here's a picture of Cora and I, it's not very good but she's such a sweet girl!

Sleepy Olive.

She's so funny she loves sitting on top of the dirty laundry. Weirdo. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!! <3 Happy Mother's Day Mom I love you.
