Last wed. I had to go under the knife and have back surgery!!!! Scary for me, very scary. I have endured incredible pain all down my right leg for over a year now due to a pinched siatic nerve. After numerous chiropractors and other things and then trying to just live with it, I finally found a doctor who said he could fix it easy with a simple outpatient surgery. I was at this point ready to cut off my leg so I decide to go for it. The surgery lasted about two hours and I was home a few hours after that. I felt the relief immediately in my leg. I have just been taking it easy this week sleeping and not doing anything gettig the incision to heal and I can not lift anything for 4 weeks, including Ashlen. Kari my sweet sister in law took Ashlen for me and still has her. The kids are missing her so much as well as me so we will get her back this week.
I am looking forward to being my self again. I have lived with pain or so long that I am excited about all the fun things I can do and just enjoy them instead of endure the pain.

"Did you know that my Dad rode the 'short bus' when he was a kid?" (Peyten said this to our neighbor boys when I was driving them home from school, totally not true, or is it?) 10-27-08
Peyten was talking to me about a rating on a video game and he said, "Mom, it's not really that bad of a rated 'M' game, it just has intense violence, blood and gore."( guess I should buy it then, don't want him to miss out on all that fun)
"I need my hair cut, my catholic looks funny" ( Peyten meant his cowlick or however you spell it.)
Lauren said this during Thanksgiving while all the women were in the kitchen and the men were on their arse's watching TV. "I would hate to be a pilgrim and make Thanksgiving dinner, unless I was a guy, they don't do anything." Amen sister!!!
Ashlen started a baby Ballet class yesterday and I was telling the kids about it and Peyten said, "SO she's going to be one of those flexible chicks?"
Ashlen said, "oh crap". We all crack up when she says it.
Ashlen sticks out her bottom and says, "look at my cute butt."
"You're the meanest mom ever, probably meaner than the devil's mom ". (Does the devil have a mom?) (Peyten said this cause I wouldn't take him to get a new video game, he didn't have any money and I wasn't about to spend my money)
Peyten got into the car after school the other day and said, "I'm starving, will you make me top ramen, a chocolate shake and 9 strips of bacon?" (Yummy)
Ashlen says, "fart yard" instead of "front yard".
Peyten told me that I need to start getting Ashlen blue things instead of Pink, when I asked why he said, "cause she is turning into a girl." (hmmmmmm)
Peyten called me on my cell phone to ask if he could watch WWF (wrestling) on TV if he promised not to practice the moves on Ashlen.
Ashlen calls Rice Krispie treats, Rice Christmas treats...so cute
Ashlen is really scared of Halloween masks, a neighbor was wearing one the other day and she ran in and said, "that kid scared the craps in me."

Yeah! So happy for you. And thanks for not showing us a picture of the scar.
I had no idea you were hurting so bad or for so long. Glad to hear the surgery went well, my mom had told me you had it done so I was wondering how it went.
I went to your bro the dentist the other day and had a good experience with that. He and his hygienists are super nice. He said you might be coming into town soon???
