Today is day 204 of the year 2013

Day 204 of 2013 ... July 23rd ...Tuesday

How did we get this far into 2013 already?  Wow!  It seems like winter will never end and BAMMMM ... spring has sprung and we are half way through summer. 
I haven't posted my blog in months and I must tell you,  I have missed it,  I have thought about you often and a time or two I allowed my cursor to pause over the "Marcenz Blog" bookmark ... but then went on with what I was doing.
Some changes have taken place in our household.  I have blogged about our middle daughter Sara and Her Family wanting to move in and take care of us so we were going to add on a Mother - In - Law Suite for us and give them the house ... remember that?  Well that has at least been put on hold because in May, after school was out ... almost, our youngest, Beth, and Her 3 children moved in.  They are staying so all the changes that were on the table for a family of 4 (Sara, Patrick, Molly and Miles) will now be for Bethy, Lilly, Ireland and Jaxon.   Same number of people.
 Also about Bethy, she had a check up to check on the cancer procedure she had undergone in January of this year.  After that procedure she was told all went well and they got it all and she was cancer free.  Early in July she went for her check up and then got THE PHONE CALL.  She has to wait until August 1 for the full consult but she was told the cancer is back.   We can fight this if she is willing to admit she has cancer but she doesn't want to talk about it ... with me.    You can not deny what may change your life and the life of your family.  Sure you can say ... NO, NO, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO ME ... but be prepared to go through what needs done.  If that means a second opinion then put on those big girl panties or take off those big girl panties and get that second opinion. 
OK now that I got that out of my system... 
What else is new or different around here.  We are almost ready to move me into the barn.  LOL  that wasn't quite right.  We are moving my den/craft room into the top of the barn so Bethy can have a room of Her own and she can sleep in a bed and get off the couch.  She deserves a bed.  Our funds have seen better days but we are getting things done.  Cecil still needs to rebuild a door and paint.  Then we should be able to start putting in the boards that will be my tables.  I'm just not sure about taking my computer up there.  Will I be able to use my WIFI in the house if the modem is up in the barn?  We watch Netflix on the TV using AppleTV which using WIFI from my computer modem or my IPad which uses WIFI from my computer modem.  We will work it out, I'm not sure how yet.
I'm going to be 53 this year.  This month ...actually this week.  I wouldn't mind aging if I was not so out of shape and by that I mean ROUND.
I can't stand or walk for any length of time so exercise is difficult.  Since exercise is difficult when I exert myself I get out of breath quickly.   Routine chores become major when they take more than 10 minutes at a time or involve a lot of bending (dishwasher).  It gets done but sometimes it takes more than a day depending on the amount needing done.
Cecil will be seeing a surgeon for His knee and His shoulder.  He wants to retire,  he talks about it all the time.  Counting down the days.   I will be 53 so He will be 64 by the end of the summer.

Hello all, it's Beth again. The procedure went good. It was a little more painful then they told me it would be but I am feeling better right now. They got all the cancer off the cervix and they don't feel like the syste on my overies will be cancerous. I thought the untersound would be today but it turns out it was just a phyical check today. They do still have to look into it, but they seem very sertain that it is not cancerous. So i am feeling better about that. The servical scarp went as well as it could go.  She said she had to go a little deeper and cut into a few places but for the most part it was all on the serface. I am in a little bit of pain, and i'm not sure what tomarrow will feel like, but knowing that the cancer is out of my body feels wonderful. I am very tired so i won't be blogging alot tonight but i just had to tell everyone that i am doing good. I wanted to thank everyone for there sweet wished and wonderful prayers to help me and my family tho this. My heart go out to families that don't have it as easy as we did. Cancer is a horriable thing that doesn't care about who you are, or what your plans on for the next couple years. We can't control it sometimes and sometimes even with the best efforts we don't win the fight. My family and I were very blessed and fortionate to have a possitave outcome but i ask that you please keep staying involved in a fight for the cure and continue to pray for famils and loved ones that are still fighting the fight.
  Thank you to everyone for helping me through this. I don't know what i would have done without my family and my friends, and there family and friends, and even there family and friends. LoL it's amazing how such a horriable thing can bring so much love or unity. Just because the cancer in gone from me, don't let that love and support and unity go away. Please, keep wearing the ribbins, wearing the shirts, and supporting all our amazing fighters out there.

Beth's blogging again

Hello my mommy's wonderful readers. It's me again, Beth. I am blogging again tonight so my mommy can take the night off. I figure it's the least i can do in return for all the things she will be helping me with the next few days. My procedure is tomorrow and from the things i have read and the warnings my doctors have given me, odds are i will be ok after the procedure but the next day i MIGHT be in a little discomfort, so my mom will be coming over to help me with the kids because Jim has to work. Also, just for moral support.

  I feel i am ready for my mom to come over. You know that panic you get the day before someone super important comes over. The panic of oh my goodness, this needs to be done and why didn't I think of doing this and this yesterday. So you do this whole list of things in one day. This list of things that you NEVER think of doing until the day before someone important comes over. Well THAT list didn't get done all the way, lol but i did get alot of things done. The girls room is super cleaned, JJ's room is super clean. Oh and by the way, JJ has enough dress cloths (because he wears them all the time) to fill 2 closets. Oh man, let me tell you all about the way JJ dresses. It's so funny. You know how little girls love to dress up in princess and fancy dresses. Well JJ loves to, not dress up, because this is everyday wear for him, but he loves to wear his dress  cloths all the time. Like i said, it's normal everyday wear for him. He will wear dress slacks, a button up shirt, a vest, a jacket and..... if he's feeling like he wants to actually dress up, he puts on a tie. If he puts that tie on, you know he is dressing to impress!! LoL he will wear this all day. If he has to go play sports i have to MAKE him change and reassure him he can change back once we get home. From time to time, he will wear his jeans, but then just randomly at some point in the day i will realize he has changed his jeans to dress pants. LoL i'm telling you, the boy was born to be a model. From the way he dresses to the way he walks with one hand in his pocket and just the right amount of swagger, the boy was born to model!! 

The girls just change cloths 3 times a day. Well not so much Lilly, as Ireland. Lilly, for some odd reason, things she has to wear 3 shirts at a time. Still haven't figured that one out. Ireland will wear 3 different outfits through out the day. I do ALOT of laundry! LoL

  We had a little freak out today. Jaxon (JJ) was putting his cloths down the laundry shoot in the bathroom, and he slipped and fell off the toilet and busted his chin. At first I was worried he would need a get a stitch or two, but Jim didn't think so. He was feeling better a few moments after it happened, he is so tough! I was actually a little proud of myself for not freaking out. I was calm and kept a low tone as i yelled for Jim to get in the bathroom. I thought i did good.

   I don't really have a whole lot more to blog about. Jim kinda made me mad so i'm not in the mood to talk. I don't understand why sometimes guys are just so...... annoying. LoL maybe that's not the right word for it. Don't get me wrong, i love my husband so much. I'm always glad that i married him and i know he is such an amazing man. Sometimes though, OH my goodness, i'm telling you, he just says the wrong thing. I'm sure this is something that happens in all marriages, infact, i know it is! his just happens at all the worst times. Well, saying that now, i guess it couldn't really ever happen at a GOOD time. I don't know. I just wish men would understand how we need them to say things the right way sometimes, or how we need them to know how we are feeling without us having to tell them. Like i don't want to have to tell my husband that i'm scared or sad or stressed out, i just need him to know this and treat me as sweetly as possible because, honestly, if he doesn't, i'm going to end up getting mad over the tiniest thing, like accusing me of eating your stupid cheesecake when i didn't touch it, just like you said!!!! seriously, IT"S CHEESECAKE!!!! get over it!!! AGH! ok ok, i'm done. See tiny little thing, not worth getting upset about... but i did. Agh, it's so stupid. OK anyway. I wonder if it ever actually will happen. I wonder if my husband will ever realize i am in a sad mode, or a stressed mode and just take the initiative to help me in some way. Does that ever really happen? it happens in all those ABC and Hallmark movies!!! why can't it happen in real life. Those are real life right? LoL i know, i know, yeah those are real life and i look like a victoria secret model. ok so i know it probably won't happen, but hey, it's nice to dream. Infact, i think i am going to go dream of that now. I'm so tired from cleaning all day, PSH, i am worn out. I hope i can sleep tonight, i'm still a little nervous about tomorrow. I know it will all be ok though.
  Well until next time. Good night to all my momma's readers. Love ya'lls
