It's been awhile

Ok, so it has been brought to my attention that it's been awhile since I've posted.
I have no exciting reason to report for this except that well used excuse of.... I've been busy!!!!
Life has been hectic lately. In the last couple months I have changed jobs 3 times. At the same company. Not b/c I'm a looser that can't keep the job, but b/c there's been a lot of changes in the department I work in. I am now in a position that I am faith believing will be permanent. And -bonus- I like this position.

My brother & sister in law are building their house. Scott's been gone alot helping out...heck I've been there alot...and helped out as much as I can.

We've been to the hospital a couple times. Nothing wrong, just Liv's normal tests. -Echo, and blood work. She currently has ANOTHER UTI. I think I should have named her
Alivia urinary tract infection W. We go next Friday to meet her new scleroderma dr. She doesn't seem concerned, but I'm a bit anxious. I just hope I like him, and more importantly trust him.

Let's see... what else? Oh! last night I took Liv to 6th grade orientation. yes, that's right I said 6th grade. Good grief charlie brown! We walked into the gym, and I was kind of awestruck. As we sat there with a couple hundred other parents, and kids, I had all kinds of thoughts and emotions.
-Wow, I can't believe this MIDDLE school is bigger than my ENTIRE school that I graduated from.
-Man, this is a whole new ballgame. New rules, new kids. Real lockers, elective classes, advisors, guidance counselors, etc. whew!
-I hope Liv makes friends. I hope she really does well this year.I hope I wish I pray
I asked her is she was nervous, and she looked up at me and said - uh, yeah, little bit! Which made me laugh, and her too. We got her schedule, and they told us about all the clubs and things like that she can join. About right now, I'm feeling very handicapped. I not only have to learn how to be a parent to a 6th grader, but I have to not look like a idiot when I don't really know what all this stuff is. Remember, I graduated from po dunk bubble school...we didn't have all these things. ugh. I need a tums.

The boys are doing good. Tanner will be in 3rd, and Riley in 1st this year. This is craziness I tell ya! Tanner hasn't read enough this summer. I hope he does allright. Riley is still my little peanut, but I can see the changes. They are also growing up right before my eyes. So tall. So independent. So...boys. ugh. I need another tums.

I will leave you with a story that will sum up my life these days......
I was off Monday. I spent the whole day catching up on laundry. It was beautiful outside so the kids played outside all day. Late afternoon they started fighting, getting on each others nerves etc.
- I walked upstairs w/ a basket full of laundry...I can hear Liv & Tan arguing...I sigh and put the basket down...i open my mouth to yell at them...instead of seeing them out the window I see Riley. He is standing in the yard holding an empty water bottle to his stomach....wait it's not his stomach...it's his little wee wee...what is he doing?...oh niiiice...he's peeing in the bottle. I yell for him to stop. At which point he sees me, holds the bottle up for me to see, starts laughing hysterically, and then dumps it on the patio.....
I need more tums....
