2 Heart attacks in 48 hours!!!!

Heart Attack #1. Last Night we were doing some painting, we had the dogs in the kennel outside so they would not get into the paint. All of a sudden we heard a cry from Lily that I have never heard before. Very Very Loud and Very Very Long. It scared me have to death, Mark and I immediately dropped everything we were doing and ran outside to find Lily's Teeth and Nose caught in the fence. We tried to get her out but we had to open the door and the more we opened it the louder she yelled, finally we were able to get her face unstuck. She kept crying for a couple of minutes but in no time she was back to being Lily. Such a scary experience, even though they are just dogs you feel so helpless not being able to help them and hearing them cry that loud.

Heart Attack #2. This was a 2nd Experience for Mark and not myself, but scared me none the less when I heard the story.
So mark calls me at work today and told me that when he was at Totem today picking up some lumber he had accidently left the truck door open when he went back to get in he noticed two very important things missing, Molly and Lily, immediately he was terrified as it was outside and they have been wondering for probably 10 minutes by now. He had everybody that was working outside looking all over the lumber yard and parking lot. Trying not to think the worst that they had been run over by a vehicle our totally and completely lost somewhere. When finally one of the men helping him look for the dogs heard on the radio announcement if anybody was missing two dogs. Apparently Molly and Lily decided that they wanted to go shopping, too bad there wasn't a Pet aisle. Although I am sure Molly ate every peace of Popcorn she could find on the floor.

So those are my crazy pet stories in two days. I have a feeling I am going to die one day sooner in my old age thanks to these experiences.

TO BUILD, TO BUY, OR TO JUST STAY PUT???

These questions have been plaguing my mind all weekend, as I was looking at tile, hardwood, carpet, doors, cabinets, and endless paint colors. My wonderful mother drew up an amazing floor plan that I have fallen in love with, the colors I have been looking at, look amazing together.
It makes perfect sense as we are hoping to have a family soon, being in Lloydminster would be so much more convenient. Even if we don't start a family it would be so much nicer. The biggest deciding factor would be if we can sell our house for what we need to. Our Realtor is hopefully coming out on Monday to give us an assessment, let's just pray it is a high number so we can build, or buy. Ahhh build or buy, building is what I really want to do, but buying is so much easier. Anyone with experience what do you recommend, and when I mean build or buy I mean we would be for sure getting something brand new, we just can't decide if we let somebody build it for us with there house plans or we contract out all the work ourselves and do whatever we want. We'll time to get some sleep as I think about all these decisions, yeah right.

FINALLY!!!!!

The Pictures say it all.

WHAT NOT TO EAT!!!!

1. Wheat
2. Red Meats
3. Dairy
4. Processed foods
5. Sodium
6. Refined Sugar
7. Chocolate
8. Refined and Concentrated Carbohydrates
9. Fried Food, Margarine, and hydrogenated fats
10. Soy Products
11. Additives and Preservatives
12. Tinned and Frozen packaged foods

This is what I can not eat until we get pregnant, all I have to say is please please please let it happen right away. I don't know how I am going to be able to do it, but it is starting today. All I have to say is I better lose a lot of weight if all I can eat is fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish and spices.
Not to mention they can't be topped with salt, butter or any other kind of condiment. I think I am going to go crazy, so watch out.

HOME IMPROVEMENT!!!!

The show that has been filling my insanely boring life the last couple of days. Mark on the Wednesday after my surgery decided I needed something to fill my boredom the last couple of days so when he was at Wal-mart he decided to buy all 8 seasons, excluding 7 because it was not there. $10 an episode $70 all together has produced a week of laughs and a little less boredom than I was thinking it was going to be. When watching the episodes it makes me sad to think how much TV has changed and makes me more steadfast in my decision to not have cable. TV shows are so corrupt these days all about sex, drugs, money, and beauty making us all want to be people we don't need to be and have things we don't need to have. Home Improvement is such a good wholesome show teaching us good values of how to treat our family and friends. Mark and I have decided we are going to try and find more of those good old fashion TV shows and buy them instead of having cable for ourselves and our kids to watch.

OUCH, OUCH, AND ONE MORE OUCH!!!!!

So yesterday was the big day, surgery went good, bad, and painful. First of this blog is going to have lots of spelling errors and might not make sense so bare with. So Painful news first, when the Dr went inside my stomach to see if I had any endometriosis what he found was a very inflamed appendix, so guess what had to happen, they had to remove it. OUCH is all I can say, leaving me one extra day in the hospital and no work for one to two weeks. I have to say what an incredible husband I have, he has just been there for me helping me out, being so gentle and caring. Right now he is making me soup and watering the flower he bought me as a get well surgery gift. What a sweetheart. Next is bad news, the Doctor did unfortunately find endometriosis, and some other things in my girlie parts that he had to remove, which leads to more ouch. The last ouch is the three very painful holes I have in my stomach right now but the doc said they will heel quickly, thank goodness. Well now on to the exciting news, even though there was lots of endo ( I will call it that for short) he was able to get ride of all of it, no more. It will probably come back, but with a strict diet I can keep it from getting as bad. So this means baby making time hopefully. Marks counts are up my endo is all cleaned out, everything is looking very positive for us right now.
I will post some pics but please remember I had surgery and they inflated me up like a balloon, and I got very sick the first night, sweating and throwing up everything I ate. I had a sponge bath and nothing else like my hair has been clean.

3 NERVOUS DAYS LEFT AND COUNTING!!!!

So in three days I will be put under for the first time in my life and cut into as well. I don't know why I am so nervous it is nothing serious but I have been freaking out all week. I think I am freaking out so much not because of the surgery or even being put to sleep but with the possible results that will come from it. I am having Laproscopic surgery and a couple off other things checked that you don't want to know about, they are doing this surgery to check if I have endometriosis and if that might be a reason we are still not pregnant. If it comes back positive the chances of us getting pregnant go down even more to possibly not at all. So lots of prayers and faith the next couple of days that all will go well.

FLOWERS!!!!

Sometimes men do get it right. Today at work I got a special delivery from my husband, a beautiful bouquet of flowers. What a lucky girl I am, he just knows when to make me feel special, and how to pick out flowers, I was very impressed, my favorite kind and colors.

SAD TRI-ATHALON NEWS

Sorry Royall if you read this before I get the chance to tell you in person, but are fun little weekend trip to Magrath is going to be one member short. Sometimes being the manager really sucks.

These past four months I have been working really hard at loosing weight and getting in better shape so I could train to run a tri-athalon this summer, I have been doing so good and have lost a total of 25 pounds and can do all the 3 stages the tri-athalon requires. 750 meter swim, 26km bike ride and 5km run, however I have never put them together, that is what these next two months were going to be for, and hopefully drop another 10 pounds in the meantime. Until yesterday when one of my part timers asked for the weekend off for a wedding and my other part timer is away on holidays. How can I say no, I could not handle being the mean manager that does not let people have time off when they ask for it. Actually I have a hard time saying no to anything they ask for, maybe I am just not manager material. I know they like me but I have a hard time talking to them if they are doing things wrong or showing up late for shifts or not being professional enough with customers, ahh anyone with manager experience please help.

So with me being to layed back and having the inability to say no, has now left me with a goal unaccomplished for the year. However I think I am going to keep training for it, maybe try and figure out how to do one on my own.

10 REASONS KALINDA LOVES MARK!!!!

1. He is singing at the top of his lungs in the shower to Julie Andrews "My Favourite things" right now as I am writing this.
2. If you asked him if he saw Glee the other day he would have a very dumbfounded look on his face and ask what are you talking about.
3. He makes me laugh everyday.
4. He has had one sick day since he has been at his job with Devon, and maybe 3 since we have been married, such a hard working man, I know that is why he is blessed with such a good job.
5. He is still singing in the shower, but now making up his own version of what his favorite things are: hot tubs, and quading, and pizza, and days off.
6. His willingness to help others is marvelous, you ask him for help he will be there with no complaining and a big smile on his face and be the hardest working one there.
7. Helps with Dinner, Dishes, Cleaning the house, running errands all of the mom stuff, as I work full time and don't get around to it all the time, so pretty much we share the work load, which is nice.
8. How even though he is not the most romantic man in the world he is always trying to make me happy, especially if I am upset about something.
9. This one you might want to read at your own discretion, His cute little butt, especially in nice jeans and a T-Shirt.
10. His amazing bright, spunky, loving, adorable, personality that makes it impossible not to like him, even if you are really mad at him.
an extra number 11. How I could keep going on and on and on about my wonderful Mark.
So the reason for this lovey dovey post is because are anniversary is coming up in a couple of months and today I was thinking about what cute thing I could make for him this year, I started thinking about all the reasons I love this man to death and these were just some of them. 1 and 5 I came up with as I was writing this blog.
