Where I try to explain.

Just in cause you though I fell back into my anti social tendencies.
I will try to explain.

• 4th of July = always busy.
• 6th - Dylan came to town with Mom and we entertained him for the evening.
• 7th - Carrie took all the kids, I had a pedicure, Mom and I went to "Look Better Feel Better" an American Cancer Society function that helps with make up issues e.g. learning how draw on eye brows (Igot more than 200 dollars worth of make that day), and Kris and I went out to dinner.
• 8th and 9th I didn't go much of anything to be honest with you.
• 10th - Nicole, Jarrod, and Zander came into town - dinner at Mom's house.
• 11th - We (the Spots, the Loschs minus Nicole who was sick and Mom) went to the country to see Grandma, pa, Gladys, Jim, Nancy, Ray, Heather, Colton, Jay, Laura (and more I am certain I missed someone) and in the evening we went to New Baden for Carrie's Birthday Party.
• 12th - Brunch at Mom's house before Nicole had to leave.
• 13th - Discovered that Kris and I threw away my wallet spent all day cancelling and requesting new cards.
• 14th - DMV for a new licence and the All Star Game (see below)
• 15th - Chemo 9 am to 4 pm
• 16th - Back to the doctor for my feel better shot
• 17th - I rested - I know how dare me!!!
• 18th - Collinsville Library Book Fair (a bag of books for $1 and a box for $2 of course we went) and lunch with mom afterwards.
• 19th - Kaitlyn went birthday shopping with Nana, I went birthday shopping for Kaitlyn and Boy Scout Swim Party.
• 20th - Kaitlyn's Birthday - She and Kris went out for a big day of shopping, lunch and ice cream. Joe and I realized we were getting rooked!! We went out together. Dinner at Peking Garden (she has had her birthday dinner there every year since she was born).
• 21th Carrie took Kaitlyn Birthday shopping - went to the library later that after noon.
• 22nd Doctor for labs
• 23rd - I rested - can you blame me.
• 24th - Boys left for Weeblo Camp and Kaitlyn, Mom, and I had dinner at Olive Garden.
• 25th - Lunch with Mom at Texas Roadhouse (because Kaitlyn wanted to go to the restaurant where you can throw the peanut shells on the floor) and we went to Carrie's house to see "Creasy Bair" who Kaitlyn calls her baby (puppy) cousin. And to quote Kaitlyn "he is sooooooo darling"
• 26th - Boys back from camp and Kaitlyn and i had lunch with mom and HR Block friend/coworkers at The Happy Cow.

And that brings you up to date.

Now you know why I won't allow myself to be sick.

I DO NOT have the time.

I canceled chemo. WHY?

MY MOMMY TOOK ME TO THE ALL STAR GAME!!!

We stood in line for the better part of an hour.

But the pregame show was worth the wait!!!

The stealth from Whiteman AFB:

Obama and the first pitch:

The BLACK OPS on top of the stadium - ha that is what we were calling them.

Watching Molina drive in some runs:

Sure I was beat the next day when i did have to take my chemo

- - But boy was it worth it!!!

Kaitlyn will KILL me one day for this.

Kaitlyn has had a tooth loose for a long time (forever!! really).
She looked like Nanny McPhee - REALLY see.

Friday morning (before the 4th), as Kaitlyn was eating a package of muffins she announces "My tooth fell out!". I would like to say I did a little dance. That was until I realized that the tooth that fell out was the one next to the Nanny McPhee tooth (we didn't even know that particular tooth was even loose).

So after I called and railed at my mom about "the unfairness of loosing teeth and it's effect on mothers!!!" My mom suggested I add a bribe to the process. I did.

Saturday - Kaitlyn's Nanny McPhee tooth came out in a confusion that involved - Joe's shoulder, a rag with ice, lots of tears, and me covered in blood.

Now look at my baby - she looks like a prize fighter!!! So much for getting what I wanted.

(oh yeah, the additional bribe involved Kaitlyn and I going to Cracker Barrel. The only place where the pink pistol and holster could be found).

I can explain~~
