Home and on the go again...
We made it home safely from the beach. We had a GREAT time! Austin and I did not want to go home...who wouldn't love to just stay at the beach forever...but at some point you have to go back to the real world.
Britleigh had a blast at Junior 4-H camp. I will post later about her week's events.
Well, I am off to an appt for Austin. Will post more later.

Getting ready for next week
Well, I am now getting really excited about going to the beach. Austin has been ready for several days now. I have too, but now it feels like reality... the beach is two days away. My sister, her family and our parents are going down today. Doug is off on Sunday because he has to work Mon-Fri. We will all enjoy spending time together on Sunday relaxing.
Britleigh is packed and ready for camp. She leaves Monday morning at 9:00. The Junior 4-Hers are going to Jekyll Island. They will visit St. Simons and others areas of the coast during the week. Here is Britleigh's schedule for the week. She is going on VACATION not camp!
I better get going. I have a lot to do before we leave. Doug will be here all week by himself so I have to make sure he has everything he will need while we are gone. Well...he will be here with Peanut :)
Until l8r (that was Britleigh's touch)
....with beach pictures.

The week of doctor appointments
This has been a busy week. To start off on Monday, Austin had an MRI/MRA in Savannah. We had to be there at 10:00 so we left at 7:00. We go there at 9:30 and got registered. The wait was not long and we were sent back. We had several holding rooms but we were in the pediatric sedation area by 11:00. Austin's scheduled time was at 11:30. After the PO Versed, he did well. He fought the medicine but the IV was alot easier after the Versed. The power of prayer was the greatest help. Sunday night we asked for the congregation to remember Austin on Monday morning from 10-11. While we were in the waiting room, Austin started to get anxious. That was about 10:20. Suddenly, we got a voicemail from a lady at church and we called the preacher. He said he was drying some dishes and was just thinking of us. I know people thinking of Austin and lifting him up in prayer made the difference.
After the MRI/MRA, Austin had a dr appt with Dr. Pearlman at 2:15. We left the hospital around 12:30 and went to Chili's to eat. Austin was a little "loopy" walking in but after he ate some chicken/FF and drank some tea he was back to being Austin. After the appt, we went home and got back around 7:00. It was a LONG day. Gina went with us (A BIG shout-out and thank you to her) so the day was alot easier.
On Tuesday it was Britleigh's turn. She had her annual well check appt and shots. It was time for her 2nd Gardasil shot and her sports physical for cross-country. After her appt and we were checking out, Britleigh looked at me and said "Momma, I am about to fall." She looked at me and I grabbed her as she started to fall. Her knees buckled and she started shaking. It really scared me. It scared Austin too. The nurse ran around the nurse's station and another nurse got a doctor. They took her and put her in a room and laid her down with her legs propped up. After a few minutes, she got her color back and felt okay. The doctor said that reaction was not uncommon after a shot. It was a first for us though.
Before we took Britleigh to the doctor, we took Peanut to the vet. He had to spend the night for "male" surgery. I knew we needed to do it, but I hated leaving him. Chihuahuas are loyal to their masters but do not like strangers. I knew he would not be enjoying his time there. I called and checked on him on the way to Britleigh's appt and he was doing fine.
Today, I had to take Britleigh back to the doctor. She had to have a lab repeated from Tuesday. Also since she almost completely passed out, we were not able to shop for camp clothes. So...after the doctor's office, we went shopping. We did not have a lot of money to spend so it was not a fun shopping trip...just buying what she needed to have.
Wednesday afternoon, we picked Peanut up. He was really glad to see us. He has to take it easy for the next few days. No jumping, etc. He does not seem sore but he has been just laying around.
In the morning I have a hair cut appt then I hope we can go home and relax. I am tired of going and need to get a few things done before we go to the beach. Britleigh has to get packed for camp and Doug will have to work all week. I only wish the whole Rogers family was going.
Austin and I will have a good time with Wynita, Palmer and Gran so we are counting down the days... just 5 more days until the beach!

This week's happenings...
Well, this week has been very busy but yet relaxing. This is the first week of no school for the whole Rogers family. Austin's last day was May 30th and my last day was the 28th. Britleigh's dance recital was Saturday, the 31st, so after I got thru with post-planning I did not get a break. Britleigh had dance practice every day (Tues-Sat). So this week is definitely a slower pace.
I started walking last week after I put Austin on the bus. I am proud to say ten days later I am still walking every morning. I walk two miles, at least, and some days I have done three. I have also been doing a mixture of walking/running. I want to work up to running a mile without stopping. For some that does not sound like a big goal, but it is big goal for me. I am working at it slowly. Britleigh started cross country practice this week so I hope to be running with her soon. I am going to get her up a few mornings to walk with me. (I am sure she will enjoy that...she is not a morning person).
Yesterday Britleigh turned 13!! WOW! Can you believe it?! She is offically a teenager now. Today she is having a pool party and then a friend is going to spend the night and we are going to see Kung Fu Panda tonight. I am looking forward to see the movie. Jack Black is the panda so it should be really cute.
Oh, I almost forgot. Tuesday I went to a Walden Univ meeting on the doctoral program. I think a small group of us are going to start in October. The program lasts 3 years. We will see how this develops...but I am pretty sure I will do it.
And last but not least...I am proud to say I am going to the beach in 10 days. Austin and I are going to Panama City Beach with my sister. Doug has to work at Frito Lay Monday - Friday and Britleigh will be at 4-H camp at Jekyll Island. So... it will be Austin & I enjoying the fun in the sun. We are both excited...
Until later...
