Here is Aimee's cowgirl attire for the "Hero's Unmasked" at church. It's very thrown together tonight since I have to go to the hospital and will not see her on Wed.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

She is a HOOT!!!
Aimee was going to dress up for the Fall Festival as some sort of fairy. It was what she was last year. Before you give me the "worst mother of the world" for making her dress up the same bear in mind that we moved so no one saw this coustume last year.
Anyway, since I will be in the hospital, she is going to the carnival with a friend from church. He is going to be a cowboy so we decided to go as a cowgirl.
We went and got her a plaid shirt and boots. She had a skirt already and we cant' find a hat. Daddy though found her 2 cap guns. She is having a hootin hollering time with these...good cowboy talk!
She kept saying "putcha handsup" in one word. Darrell acted scared and she said "Daddy, I would never shoot my family". She CRACKS me up. She was so matter of fact.
I love that girl of mine..............and her daddy!

On Tuesday when Renee dropped Aimee off at school she walked her in, as she always does, but found only book bags lining the hallways, no teachers and no kids. They began to walk around to try to find out what was going on. They found everyone outside, in a cold drizzle under umbrellas. One of the teachers greeted Aimee and told her to go find her class. Renee asked what is going on. She was told, we are having a special visit today.
KATV Channel 7 News in Little Rock was flying "Chopper 7" their news helicopter along with Todd Yukobian, one the weather men, in to Yocum to talk with the kids. Last night they had a quick piece on the news about the visit.
Today when Aimee and I got to the office after school she said, "Daddy, we have got to go read Todd's blog! He is going to talk about us!"
We went to Channel 7's website and followed the link to "Todd's Blog" and sure enough there was a post about Yocum and Aimee is in one of the pictures in the video. The link is posted below!

My favorite time
Is when we put Aimee to bed at night. We do our quiet time and then she reads her books for a while. Then, I go back to "tuck" her in.
When she was a baby she loved being swaddled...I mean, LOVED it. We did it forever.
In the movie "Hope Floats", the mom (Sandra Bullock) tucks Bernie (the daughter) in the bed after a bad day. She makes her into a "buritto baby".
So, I make Aimee into a buritto baby. She grabs her big baby and wraps her baby's arms around her neck and goes to sleep kissing her baby. I wrap those sheets around her as tight as I can and give her kisses.
Last night I said "don't give me any lip" cause she kept on talking. She puckered up her lips and it was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. She is just so cute and precious. It's hard to believe that she is in Kindergarden and is growing up. I love to see her in her school clothes that make her look like a little teenager but it's hard for me.
She also received her first report card. All A's and S's except for Citizenship where she had a "C". That is another name for Conduct and I can't believe she had a C...lol! If you knew how much I talked and got in trouble at school, you would be falling out of your chair laughing right now due to my scarcism.
Anyway, have a great day!

Pre-registered
I had to go to the doctor and hospital today to pre-register for my wonderful surgery today.
I get there and the waiting room is PACKED!!!!!! I go sit and I actually get to meet with the doctor (and there was NO exam...YEAH). He asked me if I had any questions and I had only one. I was concerned with pain and how I was going to feel afterward. One word..............MORPHINE! I have not ever had morphine but I will probally need it.
Then I go to the hospital across the street. I wait again and I have to register and pay. My surgery cost there was $800! That's crazy. I hate paying that money. I know that it can't be done for free but still, that is a lot of money. I have to then go give blood, which was not too bad. She actually was able to stick me the frist time. I was pleased with that cause normally it takes forever for them to get it done.
So, now I am home until next tuesday when I have to be there at 5:30. That's early but I am glad I will be able to go first and get it over with. I am going to be glad when this is over.
My husband bought me a new game when we went to Monroe. It's the SIMS! Let me tell you something about the Sims, it stresses me out. I can't get them to do anything right. So, I gave it up. Darrell is now playing it.

Shopping Saturday!
We went to the farm to see Darrell's parents and help out there. We then went onto Monroe to go get some shopping done. I was so impressed with how much we found. We got the following:
3 pairs of jeans
1 pair of kakhi's
2 long sleeve knit shirts
1 sparkly belt
1 pair crocs
1 pair sunglasses
Then, I went to a store and found:
1 pair of courdory kakhis
1 pullover sweatshirt
1 diamond studded sweatshirt
1 pair jean shorts
All in all, I was VERY pleased. I also got Carol's shower gift ate Maggie Moo's ice cream and IHOP's stuffed french toast (which is the BEST thing ever!) I love it. You used to could not be able to get it year round but now it's on the menu.
Enjoy the pictures! There is one that has her with our sparkly clear marbles that you put in the pumpkin.
And I have my preop surgery appt tomorrow. I am ready to get this over with but nervous about the pain.

Surgery date....
Well, I have a surgery date....finally. It's October 30th. Can you believe that it was the first appt. that they had? Even though I hate to wait that long, I am glad to have it scheduled.
So, how am I doing? I hurt. My back constantly hurts. I have pain medicine but I hesitate to take it because I don't want to always have to take it. It makes it hard to get through work at times. As soon as I get home, I am trying to get in the bed.
Now, the waiting game....UGH. I am SOOOO ready for this to be over.

Update...........
Well, the update I didn't want to blog about.
I am going to the doctor tomorrow. Last week I was diagnosed with a prolapsed uterus. Basically, this means that my uterus is falling. Not fun for me. I have an appointment with a consult gyn about a partial hysterectomy tomorrow. I hate that it's going to happen however, I would like to have some relief. We had to cancel our cruise and I don't have enough vacation and sick time but my supervisor was nice about it and said to do what I need to do.
My Darrell on the other hand has been taking care of me. Tonight he cooked dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs. They rocked. He is a great cook and provider. I am so blessed to have him.
OK, enough for now.
