It’s been a long time since I’ve updated. I return bearing heartbreaking news. I thought better of sharing but isn’t that part of why I write on here anyways? To share what happens to my family?

I don’t want to go into too many details right now. That will might come later.

My darling husband lost his mother VERY unexpectedly one week ago today. On his birthday. It’s been a long hard week and we have a long hard road ahead of us …. and many MANY more after that.

It’s insanely heartbreaking, she was one of two people I know always checked in here (my father-in-law also checks in).

I will write more later but for now that’s all I have.

Some may find it hard to believe BUT after all these years I tend to forget….. The anniversary of my paralyzing wreck in on 9/12. It’s been TEN YEARS! YIKES!

His first day went well!! YAY!

I think I like getting the boys to bed SOLO. I know it sounds strange but it seems to go much more smoothly….

Today is our last day of “summer”. Will starts school tomorrow! He is really excited. Me? Not so much. I think I want him to go, but then I realize how much I am going to miss him and how sad I am that he is growing SO FAST! I mean he’s going to be FIVE in 3 months. I mean really?! How the heck did THAT happen!?

We are still only going to send him 3 days a week, so I can enjoy what little time I have left with him as a “little” boy. No matter how much that kid frustrates me, he is still an amazing and loving little boy. Full of opinion and smart as can be. Of course he’s “tall for his age” too…which he proudly points out these days. I guess a few to many people have said it to him, lol.

Alrighty. We are off to get a haircut. I’ll tweet it. Afterwards we will probably run a few errands before we hit TKD.

PIZZA NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oooh and www.wheelchairmommy.com is still coming .. it’s just been put on the back burner. I really do want to separate the two. It will basically be the same blog but there are some things I just don’t think need to be on my “family” blog, if that makes sense.?

I do plan to do a FAQs, when we launch. People usually have lots of random questions for me when we meet and become friends. HOw? When? Do I drive? have help? deliveries? pregnant in a wheelchair? Things of that nature….. So if you can think of anything that would be interesting to ask me then feel free to do it here or email me at hedlinblog at gmail ….. nothing is too personal to TRY and ask .. I may not answer it publicly, but anything is worth a shot .

• Last night was open house. We got to “meet” the teacher.
• Today we discovered all of Will’s pants JUST hit the ankle. They won’t fit when it gets cold
• Will asked me if my body was going to be worn out and not work anymore when he was an adult

From Last night .. blurring since I don;t have permission

and because it’s REALLY funny

Nothing TERRIBLY useful except that here is a NEW RECIPE QUEEN in town …

ok, maybe not… but ….

So, over on my scrap boards someone asked if I was a member of Tasty Kitchen…. I had NO ideas what it is, but it’s THE PIONEER WOMAN’s NEW recipe site…

so, GO. Join. And add me.

I guess it’s time I kind of recapped. I hate when I don’t write on here because the catch up is always really overwhelming. However,  I didn’t bring my laptop with me and I can’t seem to get my wordpress ap to work on the iphone.

Anyways, My uncle Billy died on August 23rd. He was the 4th child and oldest boy.  He was only a couple of years younger than my mom. He left 2 siblings. My Mom and my Uncle Pat.

Mom wanted to go visit Pat since there isnt a funeral planned in the immediate future. One of my Cousins can’t make it right away and since he is being creamated there really isnt a rush.

We were going to go EARLY last week but as I think I already said, Will had an unexplained fever for 3 days. So, we left on Thursday and came back on Sunday.

We got to meet my uncle’s new bride/widow. I think they were only married a year or two.

The visit was nice, considering. I did take pictures but have not uploaded them yet.

That, however, is the good part. While I was gone Charlie updated my hard drive again (3rd times a charm!!). I now have TWICE the space I did before!! YAY.
