We’re moving the blog

I will not be posting on here after today.  The new blog address is http://thedilbeckfam.blogspot.com/

I broke out!

It is appropriate that yesterday was Independence Day, because I got a bit of independence myself.  We had our first babysitter yesterday.  Usually the grandparents come through in grand style for us, but as my parents are in Alaska and Jeff’s parents are camping, I was truly worried for a minute.  One of the fab [...]

The chirp of grasshoppers

Sorry for silence.  Things have been insanely busy.  I have been trying to maintain a balance between Jeff, Bradley, and my needs over the last week.  It has resulted in extreme exhaustion.  I am about to sound like a martyr, and if you have a problem with it you can stuff it, or, better yet, [...]

Funny B

The whole family has been knocking around the living room most of the day.  What else can we do?  Jeff is strapped into this contraption for four hours at a time that exercises his knee.  Anywho, we are intently watching the marathon of VH1’s I Love the Millenium.   There is a segment about Michael Jackson’s aquittal back [...]

Home

Jeff’s surgery went well and we are home.  There are so many things to be said about the crappy nurses at Banner Desert, but I have not slept more much in the last couple days and it would come out like this:

I see dead people

Tomorrow Jeff is finally getting his ACL replaced.  I swear, his body is that of a 73 year old:  countless broken bones, sprains, surgeries, concussions, etc.  Anyway, it’s the same surgery Tiger Woods just had.  Jeff is getting cadaver parts to replace his ACL, which has elicited the most bizarre reactions from a few people.  [...]

Celebrating

I weighed in today (for Weight Watchers, not my heavy weight title match against Tyson) and I LOST FOUR POUNDS!  Phyllis, my friendly neighborhood WW cashier/scale Nazi, was extremely excited for me.  I am quite relieved after the last hellish weigh-in.  I was sure if I gained this week I would stop at the corner [...]

Sick days

Remember sick days?  Laying on the couch in your PJs with a Kleenex stuck up your nose or the designated barf bowl within arms reach.  Every fifteen to thirty minutes the kind soul who stayed home with you would check your temperature, bring you a Sprite, administer meds, etc.  I don’t know about you, but I [...]

My new hobby

I am one of those people that can give it and take it.  Hmmm.  What I mean is that if you come at me with any type of shi-poo-poo (I was told the other day I cuss too much), then expect me to return the favor.  When I was little my parent’s called this “Keiko [...]

Fun with remodeling

My bathroom is done!  Jeff said it was finished last week, but I said it wasn’t until the hardware was on the doors and drawers.  That might seem picky of me, but Jeff said the kitchen was done and we were missing baseboard for months. 
Here is a list of things Jeff (with a lot of help [...]
