Good Blogger

I have attempted to be a good blogger and update numerous times this week. For whatever reason, my laptop and squarespace have NOT been getting along. It could have something to do with the fact that squarespace is giving away iphones, and they have yet to choose me as a winner. But I doubt it.  I would love to figure out the problem, but my limited knowledge of all things web-related means that's not going to happen anytime soon.  So, for now I'll be glad it's letting me access my account and bring you up to speed on what's going on with the Mongolds.

I don't know if I mentioned it here, but 2 weeks ago my husband was playing short stop and a ball bounced up and hit him in the mouth. He got a split lip and 5 loose teeth out of it. He has an extremely high tolerance for pain, and so, finished out the game and then proceeded to call me to find an emergency dentist. Of which, come to find out, there are none! I even called the ER's in the area.  We got him into a dentist the next morning, who worked on his teeth for over 2 hours.  The dentist pushed the teeth back into place and splinted them to his other teeth.  Of course through all this he never said it hurt, and went on to play a game of volleyball that afternoon.  He's annoying amazing like that.  The dentist wasn't too optimistic about two of the teeth, thinking the root had been severed and the teeth would die.

He had his follow up appt. yesterday, and the dentist's predictions were correct. Some of the teeth are dead. Now he has to have some horrific sounding dental work done to fix the problem. 

In upcoming news, my long-awaited surgery is a little over a week away (more to come on that soon) and I'm trying to prepare the house and the family for my 2 week recovery.  I managed to clean the whole upstairs and get it all clean.  At the same time!  That's an amazing feat in this household.  Now if I could only find the burst of energy I need to attempt the lower level. 

We're still looking to sell the house this summer. I know, I know, you can't sell your house with no "for sale" sign in the yard.  We're working on it.  Always working on it.  Part of that is getting the house in "showing order" and keeping it that way.  That's a lot of work!  The girls are behind it 100%.  Of course, after I ask them to help I have to remind them they're doing it for the sake of their own room.  It'll happen when it's supposed to happen.  I just wish that supposed to time was past.  But, in good news, I'm having a really good hair day! 

Thanks to squarespace (and my laptop) for calling a truce so I could get this out to the nice people who read my blog!

Glad you had a good hair day despite doing all of that work! =) and people who have a high pain tolerance are really annoying to t around them sometimes--i should know I am one of them =)))))) We don't mean to be annoying-We can't help it we were made that way =)))

I will say, your blog loaded quicker today than it ever has. Sometimes I get frustrated because it always takes FOREVER to load. Even the comments loaded quicker.

Sorry about Phil's teeth. I know it won't stop him from playing.

I still say the girls need assignments for house cleaning NOW, before your surgery. Oh, and I see underneath the comment box the HTML allowed. Glad Evan was able to come to your rescue. I still don't think I get it though.

Lisa, even though I don't often comment, I love your blogs. They make me feel closer to all of you. Hope Phil gets his teeth fixed without too much pain (cost)! Hope all goes will with your surgery; I'm sure it will. Your girls will come through; they're good kids and you've taught them well.

Love to all!!
