Can you believe my luck???

Ok...so I offically had a crappy week!!! And I am not sad its coming to an end LOL. On Monday night about midnight (ok I guess that is Tuesday huh?) I woke up and started feeling yucky. Didnt sleep at all that night. Was walking around, messing on the computer to try and take my mind off of my stomach..to no avail. About 9am ish..I was really hurting..and by now I was figuring it was yet another gallbladder attack. Those sweet things!!! UGH. So about 11am I am wanting to literally just die it was hurting so bad. I have had 3 babies and would gladly do those all over again with no epidurals if I didnt have to do that stinkin gallbladder pain. Nothing compares to it!! So I call Tim about that time (he is at work) to take me to the ER. I just had a feeling something was really wrong. Cause they do suck everytime you have them, but they managed to go away after a really long night and this time it just wasnt and the pain was getting worse.
So Tim's sister, Ashley, poor thing. Drove me to the hospital, with me literally crying and just rolling back and forth in such pain that I wasnt breathing so well by the time we finally got there. Poor girl heard one too many cuss words on that trip. Couldnt help it though.
They take me back immeditally. I have to say the ER staff and did a great job with me. They did their best to me taken care of fast!!! They did an ultrasound (and that is just weird to have and not see a baby in there LOL). Confirmed the gallstones. Did bloodwork. All that jazz. Got me some pain meds!!! Hallaulla!! I could swear I heard the choir singing.
The surgical doc came and talked to us (well not so much me..cause I well pretty well dopey by that time LOL). Said my gallbladder was too infected to even operate, and had to wait until the next day..he wanted me upstairs pronto and pumped full of antibiotics!!
Sooo Wednesday afternoon..they took me back and took that aweful thing out!! Doc said it was horrible. It was swollen and thick from all the infection. Full of stones and all the pain was from stones what were stuck in the gallbladder's "neck" so they could pass. Or whatever it is they do. Sooo all my lab work was off. Was getting pancratitis, white count was way too high and some other #'s were off too. As well as my blood pressure was too low!! So weird.
Anyway...so it was a fun filled week at the Marley's house. Glad its over. Glad to be home. My poor kids are all out of sorts since I have been home. Especially my poor Kaity. She screams if I even attempt to look out of her sight.
But I am feeling a little better. Just feel like I have been hit by a semi in the gut is all now!! LOL Anyway..just thought I would share my oh so impressive luck that I have been having LOL.

Ohh and my poor husband..it is his 30th birthday today. I feel like such a shulmb (made up my own word). We werent able to get anything put together for his birthday. And it was a big one to remember too!!! So if you see him..give him crap about being old LOL. I need to figure something out for my poor man!!!

Ohhh Kennedy...LOL

As many of you know...my Kennedy has one of the strongest yet funniest personalities I have ever seen. That child cracks me up on a daily basis and there is for sure never a dull moment!! She just might make me get grays prematurely!!! Well I just thought I would share a few things that she has said lately!! I swear I need to write a book!! Well the other day when are weather was really yucky and we had those nasty clouds...we were driving into town (that still makes me laugh to say!), and she says "Mom those clouds are rotten! Heavenly Father needs to throw those away and get new ones". I proceeded to giggle in the front seat!
Walking down an isle at Walmart, she just out of blue and totally straight faced and serious, and not so softly mind you...tells me "Mom I need to fart" Couldnt help but laugh, but really really tried not to LOL.
Kennedy was in the shower last night..I stepped out to get a towel for her, and I hear a few things fall (it was some of her toys she had on the side of the tub), then I hear "Oh crap! Damn things".
Tonight she decided to try and change the batteries in her GameBoy while I was nursing the baby. Never a good thing when she gets quite!! So after I laid the baby in her crib and come out to the living room..Kennedy comes out with 3 batteries in her hands and tells me "I switched the guts in my GameGirl. This one is dirty and this one is the clean one. I grabbed to many guts for my GameGirl." LOL Not sure what she totally meant. But the GameGirl cracked me up.
Awhile back...but still one of my favorite things she has said..we were at Sam's Club. They had those little samples stands and it was cream puffs. She took a sample of it, and this pretty large lady comes and takes 2 or 3 of them and proceeds to eat them. And of course, Kennedy just cant help herself....says.."Lady you should only take one, your bum is too big"!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that child. I just wanted to die!! And of course it was just her and I there. I wanted to play the "Where is your mother?" game LOL
Anyway that is just a teeny tiny bit of funny and off beat things my little Kennedy says. She never ceases to amaze me or give me a dull day!!

Sorry so long..

Ok so I have been meaning to do another post..for Chris's 7th birthday and our 10th anniversary. But our stupid desk top isnt working so well and I wanted to scan in some pics. So hopefully I will get it done soon. I wanted to share some cute things about my sweet baby boy, who isnt a baby anymore. And somethings about my Timmy. So sorry for not getting a post done in awhile. Its been a long couple of weeks here..between losing our puppy, Shelby and Kennedy and I sharing the flu and the stomach bug for about a week and a half now. UGh. Soo needless to say..its been fun.

Our Sweet Shelby....

Our hearts are aching today. Our sweet doggie, Shelby has gone to Heaven before us. She had gotten out and gotten down the road a bit. Tim had been outside along with his mom and sister looking for her. Its hard to find a dark colored dog in the dark. Unfortunatly, Shelby heard Tim calling for her and ran into the road....and was hit.
We were and are still just hurting. It felt as though I had lost one of my own children. But we know that Heavenly Father has a plan and that we will be will our sweet sweet girl again. She will be waiting for us. And she is up in Heaven will alot of loving family members who are there to take care of her for us..just for awhile.
Tim was so amazingly strong for the kids and I last night. He did all he could to comfort us. He was so strong and took the kids outside to let them say goodbye (she didnt have a scratch on her). And he was so caring the way he made sure she was put to rest. Broke my heart to see him outside in the bitter cold trying his hardest to break the frozen ground up (our kids wanted her to be buried here at home). He finally was able to get a spot dug for her...wrapped her up in a blanket and laid her to rest on her little blue bed.
I am so grateful to have the gospel in our lives and to know that our sweet puppy is just on the other side of the veil. Although we are aching here, that knowledge helps us get through such a sad loss.

A few pics

Here are some pics of the kids we had done professionally at Sears. They turned out pretty cute. Not exactly how I hoped they would turn out. But there is always next time I guess. The girls dresses are adorable!! Thanks Becky (my sweet sister in law let me borrow them!) But anyway here are a few to check out.
