Kaelyn had court for her accident on Tuesday. Did I tell you about the accident? It was a while ago, and Kaelyn's car barely made it out alive. Kevin has it running so far, but we still need to fix the body damage. She can barely open and close her door, and it rains inside the car when it rains. It's public knowledge that if the people of the accident don't show up, then the case is normally dismissed. The cop at the accident told Kaelyn and the other people as much. They both still showed. :/ Kaelyn was so nervous, and I felt so bad for her. The only reason for the other people involved to be there was to ensure Kaelyn did not get off from this ticket. The judge called her up, told her she was not guilty, and said she was free to go. She didn't have to say one word. It was an amazing miracle that none of us were expecting. Praise God!

The next day was Marley's surgery to get all her teeth worked on, just like we did with Logan a couple years back. I just went back in the blog and didn't see anything about Logan's surgery. I thought I blogged it. Maybe not. Anyway, we were stuck in traffic and got there late. Marley wanted nothing to do with me and was all about daddy. They gave her a sedative, and she started to loosen up. Once they were ready to take her back to the operating room, she wouldn't let go of Kevin. He finally got her on the bed and they started to wheel her away. I didn't even get to give her a kiss. :( We waited for about two and a half hours. I was starting to freak a little, but right when I was about to break, the doc came out. Marley did great. She got seven crowns! They have bad teeth and small mouths. We brush and floss. Don't judge. She's hurting a bit today and hate the spacer they put in for the tooth they pulled a while back. Hopefully she gets used to it all soon. Until then, it's a routine of Tylenol, Motrin, Tylenol, Motrin. Poor thing!

We have officially started up school. Everyone is reading and doing math. I've decided Rory and Logan are going to learn their math facts this summer if it kills me, and Marley is going to learn how to read. So far so good. It's a light schedule, and we're normally done by noon.

I have started the kitchen project. I've been wanting to redo the kitchen for a while now and actually got some things for my birthday last year for it. I just haven't had time to start it. I still don't know how it's going to turn out because I don't have a decorating bone in my body, but it should be interesting. I know I want the colors blue and red. I just don't know if I'm hip enough to pull it off without designer help.

We have our co-op fundraiser tomorrow, and ironically enough, I'm on the decorating committee. I signed up for it thinking that someone would just be telling me what to do, and I would do it. I'm a good worker bee, and that's about all I bring to the decorating committee. Tomorrow morning I am heading to a co-op mom's house to arrange center pieces for the tables. I'm hoping I'll be able to pull it off. Then it's to a playdate and out to decorate the hall for the dinner. Please pray for my insanity.

The countdown is on for the seester summer invasion. They'll be here at the end of the month. Yay!!!! We have many ideas planned, and I think one of those will be a day at the beach again. This time, I'm not going to tell the kids when we're going. That way they won't be up at 4am excited to go.

I was pretty upset over Marley's surgery. I had a bad feeling about it and thought maybe she wouldn't make it out of it. Horrible thoughts consumed me while I cried to Kevin and my seester and my mom. I don't know why, but it was almost a nervous breakdown. My friend told me to pray to Momma Mary for peace. I did and while I calmed down some, there was still anxiety. While I was sitting in the waiting room, I smelled Kevin...his scent I guess you could say. It was calming and reassuring. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this since he remembered deodorant that day. We held hands and had that unspeakable connection of comforting...him comforting me at least. This morning in Adoration I thanked God for that very thing...amongst all the other situations this week to be grateful for. It's nice to be blogging about nice things happening to us. Here's hoping for more to come.

I know it's little progress with just taking the border down, but that thing is 14 years old and is putting up a heck of a fight!

I hated that Nora didn't get to kiss her while she was being wheeled back. We were there for her and holding hands with Nora was extremely nice. The smell thing is a ... uh ... little weird.... right? Yes, at least it was one day I remembered to use the stink ok-ishly stuff. Marley was a real trooper. She was very nervous about it but she hung in there. Everything in His time. Like Nora I thank God for everything, all of it, the good and bad. I don't need explanations for the good, of course, but I might need some for the bad. I am sure that Nora will do great on the center pieces and they will be a big hit. She says she's not the decorator but don't let her fool you. She has wonderful ideas, we just need help in the motivation department. :)
