Finding Contentment

Sunday March 14, 2010

Once again, I have strayed from my blog for much too long. Once again, much has happened in our small family...

Hubby has been released from the doctors care for his hand, however, we are still battling the insurance for payment. They keep saying we have another primary insurance, which we have no other insurance, period! And for my abcessed tooth, again... they aren't paying. I just don't understand why. So back to the phone tomorrow.... 

I have went back to working in a long term care facility. I had to get out of the place I was working in. I didn't mind the work, per say, but I did not care for the way the patients were treated. I felt in danger for my safety and my license. I am a professional and the way that particular place was run, compromised my beliefs as a nurse and a human being.

The children are doing well... the girls are maturing more and more daily... we still have our rough spots, but things are getting better. They went to church with a friend of theirs today, which I loved. I wanted to go, but one of the boys came yesterday to visit with his family, and we didn't make it. He brought our little granddaughter for a visit. The one that was born early in November and weighed a bit over 3 pounds? Well now she weighs in at 8 pounds and some odd ounces, and is a little bundle of joy! 

LOL! That's my Rose.....

Well, and with the beautiful spring weather coming upon us, DH and our son got my bird feeders down, so I could get them  cleaned up and ready for my birdies today. Then DH took me out and let me buy a big bag of feed and a new feeder! Yea! So now, outside my bay window in the kitchen, I have 3 feeders.  A finch feeder in the middle....

DH also put a feeder outside in the front yard. Between my lilacs bushes. That one has already been attacked today! LOL! The sparrows and a robin or two have scattered seeds all over the ground and  in the tray!  I love it!

But I digress... DH also bought me 2 Barred Rock Pullets today. I already have a coop, and DH is going to build me a chicken tractor for my girls!

We've decided to name them Bonnie and Clyde. Our little bandits.... LOL! Our dd named them, so I won't complain.

On the left is Bonnie, and the right, Clyde. Clyde is a bit older it seems, and a bit more aggressive... LOL!

All we want is enough eggs to keep our family in a few... nothing to sell, no profit of any sort, just for us.

Now if we can just keep the nosy neighbor on his side of the fence!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, as you can see, Hatfield House is running as always, sometimes smooth, sometimes not.... but always running.... We are happy, and love each other, and try to make the best of every day with Gods infinite love for us built in!

Hope your family is doing as well, as that you all continue to grow as the oncoming season of birth is upon us!

I would like to thanks all the (HSB) that said a prayer for me while I had my hip operated on.. I had the stitches out yesterday things have been going OK..

This past week been in the ER twice two different hospitals.. All so had a UTI this week..

So the first visit to the ER ---I called my Dr I woke up my right side hurt really bad thought I broke some ribs cause I've been laying on my right side cause I couldn't lay on my left cause of my hip and I don't lay on my back well.

So I went and they did some tests they thought I had a blood clot in my right lung..They had me so scared and they are a small hospital and couldn't help me much so the following day I went to a bigger hosp in the city and they did an EKG and two different blood test and a CT scan of my chest..

Well the good news  no blood clot praise god but I had what they called ( Costochondritis) inflammation of the cartilage joining the ribs to the breast bone.. that was were I was getting pain.. So they wrote up a script for some meds for pain  and prednisone... And to apply heat..

Now to yesterday had staples out of the hip ouch..they were concern cause it was very swollen and red so they said ice it not better in a couple of days to come back for a follow up..

So here I am heat on one side and ice on the other with a UTI ... Why is God dealing me this hand????

Long story short hip still swollen and red I will see what happens over the weekend and off to bed I go now..

Good night...
