crushed

Three weeks in a boot.

Are you serious?   I saw a foot specialist, turns out one of my sesamoid bones is crushed.  When that guy came down on my foot, he CRUSHED my bone!  I go back in 3 weeks to get another set of x-rays.  If it looks better I think I can get out of the boot.  If not, probably another 3 weeks. 

He did an ultrasound of it and you could see how swollen the tendons are around the bone.  So the only way it can heal is to immobilize it.  He also said I can wean off the crutches.  I've been doing that and today my foot kinda hurt.  So a little more crutches.   It could also bc from taking the boot off and driving or showering.  Either way, it sucks.

I started to cry at practice today, bc it hurts and I really can't deal with this.  Sorta depressing since I'm a very active person.  Looks like I won't be running the Blossom Race this year.  :(

Coaching Hurdles & Sprints isn't too fun on crutches.

Overall, I'm just in a crappy mood.

sooo

Well that vacation I took was awesome!  I totally needed some R & R.  Looks like I need it again.  Ha  I sprained my foot.  The metatarsals not the ankle.  So I can't move my big toe without extreme pain.  Just sitting here hurts.  It's really lame.  And I'm over the whole crutches thing.  I also don't like having people do stuff for me and being stuck in the house BLOWS!

It's 10:26 and I haven't had breakfast yet.  But the thought of standing around looking for something to eat doesn't sound appealing.  I also have track practice today....in the rain.  So yay for that!  Trying to figure out what to do with that foot.  BC I think putting on a shoe will be painful but I also don't want to walk around with a plastic bag on my foot.  Again, lame.


********************************************

We are working on the powder room this week.  I am directing from the couch, "yup!  sounds good."  I ordered the vanity and faucet last night.  So there.  I contributed.  I also got the tile for the floor.

Can't wait to see it all finished.


********************************************

Did I mention my foot hurts!?!  

So I can't believe how big the boys are now!  2 & 4 but they look so big!!!   Caden's first year of preschool is almost over!  :(  

We got a new Jeep Wrangler!  Super stoked about that!  Not like it matters, I can't drive for awhile anyway.  :(

The weather is finally starting to feel like Spring.  Some April showers this week and it's trying to warm up a little.

The backsplash is up!  Looks great!!

Scott at Top Golf  

That place is so awesome!  Can't wait for it to come to Ohio

This is my kid

Where I spent my vacay.  So relaxing

The best sandwich this year to date!

Bro, Petey

I wanted to draw one day.  And so I did.

John took Oakley, bc Ryder is allergic.  So glad bc I get to see him whenever I want, so it's kinda like I didn't get rid of him.  

Ugh. Eff this day!

That time I changed my mom's phone to autocorrect "food" to "penis" HAHA

Cade, Ryder, Ty & Chase playing bball

That time Becca and I went to OU

When I made it down to 121 pounds!

We play a lot of Avengers. 

Ryder is Fartman and Cade is Thor

Oh yeah, when some former students wanted my photo taken with them.

I looked over and noticed that Cade was standing still and not talking.  Ha  dork!  And Ryder was throwing a fit.  He wanted a nap.

My little rockstar

pretty sunset as I got the mail.

We are now boarding flight 1113

Yay!  I'm going on a well needed vacation!   A little bit of R&R.   This might be the first time I fly anywhere alone, too!  Crazy.  Today's weather is -11º right now, so I'm just happy to get outta here!

Happy 30th Kimbutt!

So I was thinking, wow!  Kim is only a year younger than me!  That's crazy.  Then I really started to think about it and I asked Jimmy how old I was.  OMG.  I legitimately did NOT know how old I was.  I thought I was 31.  If I had to bet money on it, I would have said I was 31.  How do I not know my own age!?!



Last week I went snowboarding.  We had to put down our age to rent the boards.  I was going to write 30 as a {Ha, I'm just kidding}.  But I thought that was dumb so I wrote down my real age......31.  

Then I wanted to prove to Jimmy my age.  So I busted out my TI-82.  "2014, bc I haven't had my birthday yet this year.  Minus 1982...*punch*punch*punch*compute*     equals.....oh shit.  32."


I'm 32.


How the hell, did I not know that?   Then I realized, I didn't want to celebrate my last birthday.  In fact, I don't think we did {strictly under my orders}.  So TECHNICALLY, I never had one.  So in all reality, if so, facto, I am still 31.

According to the old laws of birthdays, if you don't celebrate it, it never happened.  You are still the age of the last one that was recognized.  HA!

Snow, Snow, Go Away! Come back Christmas Eve.

Anyone need a grill?  We are giving 2 away!

2015

Living in a new house.  And I finally have a kitchen faucet....gonna be a good year.  Ha.

Whew

We made it through our first Christmas at our new house!  It went well and Caden said, "That was the greatest day ever!"  So Santa did his job this year!  However, it didn't snow.  It's snowing now!  dumb

There are still a lot of things that need to get straightened out here.   I finally did a load of laundry and found out that the washer was leaking through the floor and dripping all over the basement and onto a bunch of stuff.  UGH!

Well that problem is fixed.  Now the dryer doesn't work.  awesome.

I haven't decided on my cabinet pulls yet.  We bought some, but I'm thinking they might be too small for the bigger drawers.

We finally picked up the last of the cardboard that was on the floor!  Yay!  After the New Year, it is game time!  Get to go "hunting" for some new furniture and other things to help make our house even more fun!

Gotta go, we need to put together our first Chia Pet.

No signs of stoping

It's a good thing I'm a "keep moving" type of person.  Because I don't have a choice at this point.  Moving, remodeling, two toddlers, a husband, a dog, a cat, photography, subbing, coaching, playing volleyball, helping friends and family with stuff, holidays, and sometimes I like to throw in bathing.  Haha.  Thank God I have babysitters when I need them.  I just realized that I don't think I took any pictures during Thanksgiving and we celebrated it THREE TIMES!  I hope I at least take some pictures during our 4 Christmases.

I will be posting some more house pictures soon.  And our house may not be organized at this point but our Christmas tree is up and the stockings are hung.   I also unpacked most of the kitchen boxes.  :)  Still waiting on that countertop.....

More progress

The cabinets are all set, the appliances were delivered yesterday.  We are now just waiting on the countertops.  The house still has cardboard all over the place.  Yesterday, I vacuumed it.  Ha.  We got new carpet upstairs and the rooms are ready to have things moved in.  I wish it wasn't raining today and freezing.  I'd like to move over some things.  It would also be nice, if I was stronger and didn't have a bad back.  Ha.

Some House Progress

So I wanted to get a Dinner Bell.  I'm not the loudest whistler.  And as I was walking around the house, I noticed this bell outside the laundry room/mudroom door.  YES!  There's my bell!


So here is part of our backyard.  We live on 1.5 acres and the backyard is awesome!  There was a surprise treehouse in the wooded part and there is a white picket fence.  I know cliche but still sweet. I can't wait until next spring to start some landscaping  Jimmy wants to cut down that tree in the middle of this picture.  And put up a shed in that area.




So here's the back of the house.  It needs a lot of work.  Can't wait to pressure wash it!  There is a brick patio that is just kinda, eh.  Ha.  Maybe this summer we will put up a deck.











Hey there's my dinner bell!  Ha




I'd like to put bar stools and a little bar off that big kitchen window as well.



Now, let's move onto the rest of the house.

So the kitchen cabinets were delivered.  We unpacked them all and then realized that they sent us the wrong ones.  So that's cool.  Now the remodel is taking a lot longer than we had hoped.  Not to mention that we had to tear out ALL of the carpet upstairs.  The renters, let their two dogs use the entire upstairs to go to the bathroom for 2 years.  No joke.  You would be AMAZED at all of the stains.  Some stains were so big, that the dog had to have peed there over 40 times.  It was unbelievable.   I really hope I never run into those assholes.






The dining room.   The color was called Wet Coral.  Ew.   Just ew.  









This was after we redid the floors.





And this was after we painted it.  I would like to do an accent wall with a high gloss stencil.  That will be a winter project.  I was also thinking of painting the upper part of the ceiling a grey as well, to make it pop.  I've seen people do that, and it looks awesome.  I'm going to paint the chandelier a different color and see how it looks before buying a different one.







Don't worry.  That hideous yellow in the foyer is gone.



The kitchen.  The floor was horrible.  Very slippery when wet white tile with pretty much black grout.  Jimmy & his dad laid down a porcelain tile that looks like wood.  Looks great!  My mom and I painted the kitchen.  The color isn't exactly what I had envisioned, but it will do.  I wanted something a little more grey.






Here is what color the spare bedroom was.







It's not a teal.



I was thinking teal with rose gold fixtures.  Oh and that spot on the rug up there....yeah that's a burn.  The effing renters BURNED the carpet!




The living room.   I really liked the color it was.  Didn't want to change it.  But the walls needed a lot of work from all of the holes from over the years.





These sheers and rods will be going back up.



I picked a color that is very similar and we stained the floors darker.







Ryder's room.  Yeah....



Chose the same color as his nursery.  I really like it a lot.







His favorite color is yellow and his room colors were grey & yellow so I just painted his closet yellow.  I figured it will be blocked by clothes and stuff anyway.  And it adds character instead of being plain old white.  Plus ALL of the closets needed painted.  Those renters are disgusting people.





So that's all the photos I have now.  I will try to take more asap.  We have done a lot more.  Just haven't had time to photograph it.
