Hey guys, I appreciate you noticing my absence.

After being on here a year, I never thought I'd see the day I would go weeks without posting or even checking in.
We've all passed that disgusting stomach bug around and it has about killed us! In fact, my youngest had it last weekend right after a quick trip to FL for a family wedding. We were stuck in Atlanta for 15 hours with it coming out both ends of my baby girl.(Sorry for the TMI

) We were supposed to be back in Knoxville for DH to have some GI testing Monday morning; needless to say, I didn't make it. We've all had the head crud too and I've been working overtime trying to convince DH we are going to survive his recent $23,000+ pay cut.
I had some blood work a couple of weeks ago that indicate my blood and iron are low again.

I had surgery last October to fix this problem, but complications during the surgery seemed to have aggravated things. I'm hoping this is all temporary. I'm supposed to be resting, eating a good diet, and taking my iron, but I'll be honest, I'm not a good patient.
My kids take their annual SAT tests starting tomorrow so we have also been working overtime in school so they feel prepared for that.
Between everyday life and feeling like a slug, I've been doing well to get the necessities done. There have been days I have not even turned my computer on, but by the look of some of the posts I skimmed over before finding this one, I should have been kicked back in the recliner reading this stuff. As always, you guys are so stinkin' entertaining. In fact, I think I'll spend the better part of the afternoon catching up.
