Well, this has been an unexpected week. On Monday morning, Lamar woke up in too much pain to go to work. This was the second time recently that he had to call in from stomach pain. The first time he thought it was a virus but he learned that day that it was his umbilical hernia causing his pain. When he had the same pain on Monday, I asked him to call my dad and ask him what to do. Dad told him to go to the ER and Dad called his friends immediately. Dr. Everitt Tucker was in surgery all day but said he would meet Lamar when he got to the ER. THANK YOU, DAD!!! When Lamar got to the ER, Dad met him there and Lamar didn't even have to go in the waiting room (which I call a petri dish...let's face it..going in there is asking for a virus....and who needs the flu or norovirus..not any of us!) and got to go right back to a room where Dr. Tucker saw him and said he needed to have his surgery right away and Lamar was in surgery by noon. How awesome is that! And we were home by 3:00! I told Lamar he had my father and our heavenly Father to thank for that. Dr. Tucker told us (me and mom) that his hernia was really bad and it was good he had it done. He said he probably had it since birth and that he had to reconstruct something (I think his belly button). He said the hernia was adhered to his belly button. He had to use mesh to correct it and didn't do it laproscopically like I thought at first. Anyway, Lamar has been recovering at home ever since. He hasn't been able to see patients. He is going to try to go in tomorrow and see some hygiene patients but there is no way he can sit and lean over to work on his patients. So, we will see about hygiene tomorrow. 
I didn't go to the ER with Mar on Monday morning. We talked about it and decided it wouldn't be the best thing for me to be in the ER (we didn't know he wouldn't have to go to the waiting room) and that I would just meet him when he got a room before surgery.  My immune system has been crazy lately (more on that later). SO, I got up there really quick after he got a room and got to be with him before surgery. His nurses were SOOOO nice!!! Lamar was so funny because right before the picture above, he said, "The nurse said she put something in my IV but I sure don't feel anything." Two seconds later, he was out! :) Then they wheeled him off to surgery and I went to the waiting room. The lady gave me a private waiting room which was so sweet. My mom went and got me some McBride's cookies and then Dad came and reminded her she had a 2:00 dermatologist appointment so she rushed out and I wasn't there long before they called me to come get Lamar to take him home. He is an easy patient and I am SO glad this surgery is over and done with! I trust God with it and am glad He took good care of my man! He loves him way more than I ever could. He's such a good Dad!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
