Where are we??

I have received 2 messages, asking if we were ok and where I am.

I am still here, its just been a bad year in some respects, and not much time left to blog.

Husband had surgery at the beginning of the year, then we had the tornado, he had some more surgeries (it was a series of surgeries, could not all be done at once).  Then he had an injury, and more surgery for that, then I had major surgery at the end of October.  My surgery was actually 4 things, all fixed at the same time, 2 of them considered major and I am still off work from mine.  Most likely I will be returning to work sometime in December or January.  Right now I have my days and nights backwards, my hemoglobin is still low so I take several cat naps during the day.

For an update, daughter #4 is back from her deployment, and back at her duty station.  She is my Army daughter.  Daughter #5 is now away from home for the Navy.  #3 changed careers and went thru a state academy and is now in law enforcement.  #1 and #2 remain as they were, same homes and jobs as they had before my blogging "drop out"

As a result of our recent surgeries, we opted to have a small Thanksgiving.  I am not up to long travels yet, so we had it here at home.  Only 2 of the kids were here, but we also had our parents, an uncle, sister in law and a niece and nephew.

On the flip side, its also been a good year.  I have a new niece, and shortly after she was born, one of her older sisters got married.  (yes, you read that right...  My brother has 6 kids ranging from 6 months to 21--they are: 6 months, 13, two that are 18 and two that are 21, and none are twins.  Yet, we have 2 sets of twins..... 

So, there you have most of our year in a nut shell.  And, I will try to do better at blogging.
