New Digs

We recently got bunk beds because I had nowhere to sleep. Our bedroom has become a machine inferno. Jeorge has a nebulizer, oxygen tanks, and a bi-pap machine. Needless to say, it is literally like a sauna in there. I tried to sleep there one night and between the noise and the heat it was terrible. I resorted to sleeping on an air mattress for a week but quickly decided that I could not keep that up!! My new bed is amazing!!! I am so comfortable and sleep great every night. Jack is my new roomie and he loves it. Every night he climbs up to his bunk and reads books to me. At least the fun factor is fading so he is talking less and getting to bed earlier.

Work

Ok so I have only worked a few shifts at the restaurant and they were on the slow days. Today was a completely different story. I forgot how hectic and exhausting waiting tables can be!!! I went to work at 9 and expected to get a few tables here and there, but I was busy from the second I walked in until 4 pm~!! Don't get me wrong, I like being busy and the money is great but I am an amateur these days and need to get my rhythm back. The highlight of my day today was seeing some old friends from highschool. I saw jarchow, Dave, and Brad. Its always fun to see a familar face, especially ones you haven't seen in 15 yrs!! I am looking forward to adding more time in at the Cafe so I can see more people on a regular basis.

On a side note... I am bummed State lost.
Another note.. ...Happy I did not do a bracket this year because it would have been ugly!

Baby james is 7 months!!

It is so hard to believe that my little guy is 7 months old today!! He is at such a fun age right now. He is trying so hard to talk and is constantly making loud noises to make his presence known. He adores his older brother and always gets excited and laughs whenever Jack talks to him or is acting silly. I am still waiting on his first tooth. It seems like it could be any time because of his excessive drooling. He is rolling over and sitting up. I have to eat up as much baby time as I can because you blink and they are already toddlers.

Happy Easter

Jack was thrilled that the Easter Bunny prevailed thru the snow and made it to Chez Swanson. He couldn't believe the Easter Bunny knew he liked Cars and was loving his 1967 blue ford mustang gt coupe!! James recevied a pokemon stuffed animal from his loving brother who was willing to share some of his basket, now thats LOVE!!

Jeorge part 2

`Jeorge is home!! We are so happy. He is recovering slowly and needs lots of TLC!!

Jeorge

Some of you know what has been going on with Jeorge and some may not. jeorge was admitted to StJohn's hopspital this week. After admitting him and settling him in a rm, I got a call a few hrs later saying he was being transferred to ICU. Needless to say, I was panicked and I dropped my cell phone in the toilet and lost the majority of my numbers b/c I did not save to sim. He was in really bad shape for a few days and the dr's were alarmed b/c he had lg amounts of carbon dioxide in his system from his sleep apnea and the lack of sleep he had been living on since we opened the restaurant. He has since gotten better and was able to leave ICU. He is in a regulart room at St Johns Oakland and getting better day by day. We are hoping he can come home within the next few days. Hope all is well, KARA

Facebook

I joined facebook this week and I love it!! I think it was made for me!! I love to know how people are doing and I love seeing pictures of friends I haven't seen in years with children of their own. It is so refreshing to see everyone grown up and happy in their lives without any silly high school drama. I have reconnected with several people and hopefully going to have our own mini-reunion ( kids included) because we have not had a organized one lately.
