Little Things

Nothing too blog worthy to post lately, but there have been a few little things going on, just for update's sake.

• Garth Lee has another hernia, on the other side from his surgical repair when he was 18 months old. We took him to the doctor Monday and he couldn't feel it, so he sent us to get an ultrasound and they didn't find anything, so everyone thinks I don't know what I am seeing. They actually said it could have been just a really big bowel movement making it's way down that I may have felt or seen. So I took pictures (non-kiddie porn style) and I am trying to decide if I feel like I need to take him in again and bring the pictures to *prove* he has the hernia or just wait and see what happens, hope it doesn't strangulate...but I REALLY don't want to do surgery again, anyways, I will post the pictures when I download them and you can judge for yourselves--it doesn't take a rocket surgeon
• We had to separate Princess and Spike (we are nicknaming them Jon and Kate for the time being). They are apparently fighting and can't sleep in the same crate anymore, so now they get 2 crates. Garth asked me why Princess got the old crate from the garage since we have had her for 6 years and Spike only for 1, I told him it was because I like Jon better...
• Garth has started working nights at CVS and he really likes it. Garth Lee and I really like it too because we get to stay up late in the "big" bed and watch movies and eat popcorn and we don't have Daddy giving us "the look"--we have to enjoy it now because school starts August 24th...wow I can't believe how big he is getting. Last night we fell asleep watching "Bee Movie" and Garth Lee was eating a ring pop (don't tell his dentist), he woke up at about 4am with the ring pop stuck to his shirt freaking out screaming "Bees! Bees!" I ripped the ring pop from his shirt and told him it was his candy, not a huge killer bee stuck to his jammies, and he curled back up next to me and went back to sleep. (Wow, I just realized what a bad mom this post makes me look like)
• We found out a few weeks ago that we are getting a new niece. I didn't want to post about it before because I didn't want to be the one breaking the news, but it has been a while now, I am pretty sure that anyone who cares already knows. Spencer and Jenny are having another little girl, due mid-October and her name will be Caroline Ann(e)--I'm not positive on the spelling, but it's cute either way.
• I am working the next 3 weeks straight, my regular week, then a week of nights at Women's and Children's, then my next regular week here. My next day off is July 8th and I have told CVS that I am available that next week. YAY! (Did I mention I can't wait for Garth to pass his boards?)
• We still don't know when Garth will be able to take the boards, but we will most likely know by Monday--so hopefully in a month or so we will be having a party celebrating his licensure!!!!!!
