Hey diddley do

Whas'up.
So, Andy went to his new specialist orthopedic surgeon Dr. Larsen on Wednesday. The new official technical terminology now is bicep tear and possible nerve damage. Yes, this is possibly a byproduct from radiation. We are looking at surgery in March. We hope this will improve Andy's pain. Yeah, I know it will get worse before it gets better. But now we feel hope that Andy will not have to continue in pain all the time.

Okay enough with the bummer news that is Andy and on to fun.

I want to tell about something that happened a couple of weeks ago, an event at work made me stop and giggle.
Here's the story.

One of our first graders came into our classroom and while he was waiting for Mrs. Nish to come in for groups he sat at the table. I was across the room at my table with my group of fourth graders. So, after about five minutes of the first grader quietly sitting there, I hear him shout out "BOO!" Then he does it again a moment later. This continued another two times until I shout over to him and ask, "What are you doing?!"
He declares with excitement that he, "has the hiccups and was scaring himself to make them go away."

Okaydoodle.

My fourth graders snicker about this and look at me like I should respond.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT? SO, I giggled and told the first grader to work on his words and try to be a little quieter.

Ahh...first grade humor, how do we live without it?

P.S.

Saw a funny little diddle yesterday on my daughter Caity's facebook. It went like this.

Dear Kindergarten Childern,

      If you don't like nap time, please give it to us.

Sincerely,
     High Schoolers
 
Yes, my high schoolers totally agreed with this letter. The kindergarten teachers I work with also agreed and said it should say from the Teachers. LOL

So here we go again

Hey, what's up my friends?
So, I think I have officially taken back the blog site. Andy seems to think I do a better job. Huh, were do you think he came up with that thought. Anywho, I wouldn't say I am better, but I am a good an dutiful wife and I don't discredit my hubby's point of view. No matter how he really intended that comment.
So, Andy had his MRI on Friday and guess what the official diagnosis is?

His shoulder is "jacked up".

That's right you heard it here. They actually stated to us that specific term. "jacked up"
So, you're wondering what does that highly educational/medical term mean? Well, hell if I know I don't have my PhD. What my lower limited understanding thinks is that we are looking at visiting yet another specialist (orthopedic surgeon) to have more lovely terminology poured out upon us. Hurray!!

P.S.
My new found favorite quote is from Mark Twain.

"You go to Heaven for the climate. You go to Hell for the company."

Ahh, what a linguistic genius.

P.S.S
 We love ya'll. Thanks for the blessings!

Couldn't wait

I just could not wait for tomorrow to tell you something I find funny. Last Saturday, Shaeli's boyfriend (yes she has a boyfriend and Andy and I are not dealing well with it.) had his Eagle Scout ceremony. She went with our best regards and a card containing money for Josh.

So right now you are wondering what is funny? Well...let me first describe Josh. Josh is a great young man that is kind hearted and treats Shaeli like a queen. His family are active LDS and have brought him up in love and righteousness. When we first met his parents we all went bowling. We had a great time and learned alot about Josh. So... when does this get funny. Be patient it's coming I have to set the back story. Well, we go to their house and instantly Andy and I realize that compared to them we are complete sinners. Yes, sssinnerss. They make us look like we are heathens. They have so many LDS pictures all around their house, I thought I was at Deseret Book. No offense to Deseret Book or to Josh's family. It just made us laugh.
Now fast forward to last saturday. We knew we had to do something for Josh on his accomplishment of Eagle. We were not going to the ceremony. So we thought, okay a card with money sounds about right. Shaeli being the "good girlfriend" was going. Andy and I were at Walmart and looked at the cards, but nothing seemed right and we thought we were going to have to go to Deseret Book to buy the card. Then out of Andy's squinky eye he sees theee card! On the front of this lovely creation is a really, really old guy making the wierdest face. The text says: "Well butter my butt and call me a biscut!" inside reads: In other words, you impressed us. Now I know that it is not offensive or crude. But if you met Josh's parents and knew how straight and narrow Josh is, this is extreme. So the really funnying part is not so much the card but that we sent it with Shaeli without her knowing what it said. He opened it in front of his whole family, to say the least Shaeli was a little embarrased. We laughed!!! I know that we should not embarras our children. I know that on sooo many levels, however, that is what she gets for growing up and making us like her boyfriend.

Side note:
The card that Andy really wanted to get for Josh had a cute little doggie with a bright red bra in it's mouth running down a path. Inside is read, "BRA-VO!" I thought this would have given both Shaeli and possibly Josh's mom a heartattack so we opted not to get it. Funny though, huh?

Hello my friends!

Hi everyone! Well, it has been a long time since I wrote on the blog. That's right it's me, Peggy. When Andy was no longer going through treatments, I gave back the writing role to the blog. However, I looked over the last blogs and to my dismay, Andy has not been very creative in writing, expounding in our adventure called life, or frequent in updating. So I decided to do a little of all these and maybe more.
First a knock knock joke from one of my special ed. kids.

Knock, knock
Who's there?
I don't know. Did you look out the door?

Ah, the humor of first graders is refreshing.

Now an update.
Andy has been in pain for...let's see...ever. And he finally complained enough to the right doctor to have an MRI done on his shoulder. Yes, you all heard right, his shoulder. You see thanks to the life saving/extending treatments Andy has had, it has caused damage to the muscles and nerves in the area that was exposed to the radiation. So that includes the shoulder, neck, back, and chest. Isn't this fun? We won't have any feedback until next week. I hope that there is something, anything that the doctors can find out that will help Andy with managing through this painful experience. Chronic pain is one of the side effects that one has to endure from cancer.

Well something about me. Cause you know it's always about me. Well this semester (yes. I am STILL in school)  I have to tutor an international student at Weber State. This has been interesting. I help him with his grammar and vocabulary (he is just beginning to learn English). The other day I had to explain to him what awesome means. I laughed, I use that word at work as  praise when the kiddos do well. So I did the same with him not realizing that he wouldn't know what it meant. How silly am I? Well I have many other things of humorous designs I would like to write, but I think I will save them for another day.
So...farewell my friends.
