This weekend

Oh wow do I have a busy weekend. We have Tayler's last soccer game of the season on Saturday. Then Saturday afternoon we have our soccer party at Lake Michael. I've never been there, but I've heard it's pretty cool. I'll be sure to post some pictures so you can see what it was like.

On Sunday we have the guy coming to install our NEW HVAC system. I have never been so excited to buy a new piece of machinery in my life. Gary tried to tell me that it was similar to his joy when we purchased a new riding lawn mower 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure though, he may love his new mower more than I will love the HVAC system. I'm so excited that we are able to do this. Our unit was 19 years old, and we plan on staying here for a long time. We thought we had no options, and then it dropped into our laps. Maybe things are looking up! Now we just need to get these two vehicles sitting in our "door yard", as Gary would say running. I hate paying for two cars to sit in the driveway & back yard.

Other than my crazy upcoming weekend I am proud to say that Tayler has finally gotten a full week of stickers at school. They get stickers for good behavior and"x's" for bad. Tayler has a real hard time NOT talking. She is a little social butterfly ( I even bought her a t-shirt that says so on it!). She has not had a full week of stickers in 2 months. We had made her a deal that if she gets stickers for the whole week, she gets a prize that weekend. She is so excited about going to pick out her prize tomorrow! We have also started giving her an allowance. It's only $1 per week, but all we ask is that she keep her room picked up & put the dog food in the bowls each day. She's been doing a very good job, I must say that I am impressed!

Gary has been doing well, he actually just had an MRI this week. Nothing has changed, they said his tumor looks the same as it did last July in the scan. It's good news, but he does get these dizzy/faint spells, and they're not sure if it's related to the tumor or not. It may just be dehydration. I can tell every time. He starts to look very pale, and turns white as a ghost. He gets very weak and we sit him down & give him water and a snack. After about 20-30 minutes it's better. He's been tested for everything; diabetes, anemia, and a few other things I cannot spell so I won't try. They all came back just fine! They even tested his heart & lungs and they're great! All of this is good news, but I just hate that he has to have these stupid dizzy spells. He still gets headaches every month or so, but who doesn't. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, thank goodness!

Oh well, I guess that's all for now. I will post later this weekend to tell you about all our excitement!

Yah AC!
