So I felt very guilty after getting moms reprimand about not blogging. I'm still wondering why she chose to send it v-a an email and not post it on the blog, maybe trying to save us the embarrassment or something.
BEGINNING OF EXCUSE:
I would LOVE to put up a great post all about our move, new house and really cool new play house, but I'm busy. With what you say??? Well I know the rest of you have super important things going on like School, Birthday Girls, Looking for new jobs, and new apartments, in new cites, and crazy stuff, but I'm super busy producing NEW, brand NEW, healthy red blood cells! And it is hard work! Now If you will all please flip threw the latest Awake that mom sent you, you will find a super neet article on a thing called Hemoglobin. I will give you all a min to pull it out of your stack of junk mail, which I'm sure you only put it there for safe keeping so you would know where to find it later. Ok, You with me??? Well, in this article you will learn that you need Hemoglobin to do some really fancy stuff like use the oxygen you take into your lungs to keep each and every cell and organ in your body alive! Pretty cool, ain't it. Well apparently my body has been having some trouble making this for a few ( 12 or so) months. That has left me well pretty much feeling like I was slowly dieing. This was made worse by the fact that I have 4 kids, just moved them all, along with there daddy, and small dog 14000 miles away, and that the stupid, I mean sweet Dr. at our last base insisted on draining me of any healthy cells i had left to run more tests! So, I am taking super doses of Iron as we speek, and feeling a tad bit better. Now, I just feel about the same tired you would if you were up for 25 straight hours because you had to take an unexpected airplane ride cause your little bit ( or Little Bit niece) had bad gas. Can I get an "Amen" Uncle B! Which is way less tired than I have been feeling for the past few weeks. BUT, the catch is it takes your body 128 days to turn over your blood supply. I have been taking the iron for about 30 days, so only 98 more to go, excpt my new smarter Dr said it would probably take me a little longer cause my Blood Iron level was 3 and it suld be around the 100 mark.
END OF LONG AND VERRY GOOD EXCUSE
So, I'm hoping that this is a good enough reason for not blogging in so long, but if not would one of you mind forging moms name so I can get out of trouble! Oh, please I know you have all done it plenty of times. Actual dads is much easier since he prints and all.
FUNNY STORY: Sometimes for a writing assignment Ali and Isaiah write letters to family and friends. Isaiah decided to write to PaPa. A few weeks later he got a response back. He was in shock. He read it and then said,"WOW! I didn't even know PaPa could write!" Ali said " Oh, Nonnie probably did it for him." HA!
Any who, so I am going to try and post more on here, but be patient with me, I'm fragile! I am going to have to sleep 12+ hours tonight to recover from the energy I have to spend spell checking this stupid post! Now I'm pretty sure non of you will have such a good excuse, but go a head and try.
Mom is already feeling sorry for me cause she could have passed this terrible anemia gene on to me, and she is just so sad and guilty over the whole thing. Although, It is more likely that Dad gave it to me, but don't tell her that. It works better for me this way. PSA for the day: Since we all probably got it from mom, I would suggest you all go to the Dr and request an Iron Pannel be done. If you been feeling "sickish and droopy" that is. If not, well than what is your genious reason for not blogging!!! Hu! Hu!
I love you all , and will try and get up some photos of our new house soon.
P.S. decided to save my energy stores and NOT do the spell check. Plus, its much funnier this way, don't you think.

i smile at every misspelled word every time and applaud your admiral excuse. teaching intro college classes i thought i had heard some really great ones but you officially pass excuse 101 with flying colors. i may plagiarize a bit from yours in writing my own. love you.
ReplyDeleteI had my CBC and chem 12 panel a couple of weeks ago, but I apparently didn't inherit that anemia thing from Mom like you did. My "sickish and droopy" is the kidney infection that is back because I never finished my antibiotics, so I can't even get people to feel sorry for me! You definitely have my pity though- good excuse! I laughed so hard over the "funny story"! Before Kamryn was born Dad bought her a book and wrote to her inside the front cover, all on his own. I will never forget being so surprised to see his handwriting- actual words from him that had nothing to do with paint colors or computer codes- so I understand Isaiah's surprise!
ReplyDeleteI love you all! and your wacky (albeit sometimes lame) excuses! And yes, Roxie, your posts are so much better when you forego the spell-check! Then we know for certain you wrote them, and not some neighbor lady that you've hired to pose as you while you lay dozing in some upstairs closet! No, really, when I got to work this morning and was going through my zillions of e-mails (I was off on Monday), the only part of the e-mail allerting me to a new post that showed up in the subject line was "Just to busy..." and I knew it was from Roxie! (misspelled "to".....!) I'd post a picture from our 29th Anniversary, but we forgot the camera. We are looking good though - I got a better haircolor, and dad is growing hair on that bald spot! (new meds?) Keep blogging! It sure makes your mama smile! (and sometimes I even laugh out loud, which makes the other people here in the room stop and give me funny looks, but oh well...)
