It's Only Been a Week...

So much to do, so little time to do it! Life has been pretty crazy at the Hedgepeth's...which seems to interfere with my blogging. I'm not really feeling the blog tonight, but thought I better put something up to satisfy my few readers!

So...what can I blog about in a short amount of time? Let's see...

1-I think I've got another darn ear infection. It's off to the ENT (per my family doctor) to figure out why at the age of 28 I am continuing to get them. Fun times!

2-Joseph is really trying to get his own landscaping company up and running. Now, not some big 700 people crew, but just a small landscaping business doing little things-irrigation, planting, designing...stuff like that, but not so much of the mowing, which he hates. We are really going about it the right way and hope that it brings in some extra money for us. Anyone need any landscaping? I know a really cute guy!

3-I acquired (well, actually am in the process of) getting a little part time job. Ready for this...I'm going to be scoring incoming freshmen's writing. WOW...doesn't that make me sound smart?! It's really easy, all on the computer-at home-and I get paid good money. I've got my eye on some goods that the money will buy!

4-Promised post about being given a medicine I was allergic to during my eye surgery. Long story short...I'm allergic to Omnicef, which is in all of my charts, and the doctor gave me a eye drop in the same family. The first surgery I was on a high dose of steroids (remember the hive incident?) so I didn't have an allergic reaction. But the second surgery I wasn't on steroids and we ran into all the problems...emergency surgery and such. I'm not sure why the doctor decided to tell me this at my last appointment, but I'm getting my ducks in a row to see what we can work out. I'm thankful that I'm fine, but not too happy to had to of had to spend an extra $2000 due to an allergic reaction which could have been avoided.

5-Losing a child never gets easier....NEVER! I pray for the day when Joseph and I can finally stop focusing on having a baby. It's so stressful for each of us in different ways. For me, it's just that uncontrollable desire to be a Mom. I can't even begin to imagine how Joseph feels. We try to talk about it, but sometimes it's so hard to express what we are feeling. The only thing that helps is knowing that at the end of the day, no matter what, we have each other, our family and our friends. It's been almost 2 years and I can not wake up without Jackson being on my mind. He's always on my mind and always in my heart. I continue to pray for the day when Joseph and I will get to experience what often times so many people take advantage of...having a healthy baby.

6-This is going to sound stupid, but I think I'm losing my mind. The other night I was laying in bed and remembered the craziest thing...I have a tattoo. I don't see it...it's on my back, but apparently during all the craziness in my life, I somehow forgot that little bit of info. How stupid is that?!

7-Beach Trip '09 is approaching fast and I have gone into the famously known role of "Nazi Nicki". Apparently I like to take control of everything...house, location, cost, activities, bed times, breakfast...you name it, I try to control it. This year we can't even get a head count. Do you know how stressful that is to me the planner?! I'll be glad when I can mark that off my list of things to do...

Alright...at the late hour of 5 minutes until 9 I'm off to bed. Exciting I know. Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of Hedgepeth life. As always, please REMEMBER JACKSON!



Oh...and I owe my Aunt Connie an apology. I gave credit to my Dad for voting on my blog. Nope...it was my trusty Aunt Connie! LOVE YOU!
