Week one almost done!!!
WOW!!!! how do you say overload.. we have learned so much this week I feel absolutely overwhelmed. I know that it will get easier as I do more hands on and having a blast learning everything.
So far I have done a ton of manicures and today passed them off so that I will be doing them on clients.. so if you are in the area and want a manicure call and schedule with me!!! hehe
I have done my first shampoo and style on a client.. scared me to death but, it turned out cute and was way fun to do.
My doll head has been officially renamed from Debra to Brun Hilda (go me, hehe) and she has undergone the torture of my hands already.. she has had pin curls, finger waves, her first style.. oh my don't ask!!! shampoo and today was set in my first roller curl. I keep forgetting to charge my camera and take it with me but have it on the list tomorrow and a girl there has been taking a few pictures that hopefully I can get copies of as well.. I can't wait to scrap it all!!!!!!
Everyone there is so friendly and helpful and the instructors are all so patient and willing to go step by step with this unexperienced GRANDMA!!! I am really having fun getting to know everyone and really looking forward to the weekend to let it all soak in and relax.
My biggest issue is missing the kids and Jeff.. I have never not been here when they are here and doing things and think about them all day. Kassi has been so sweet to get up every morning and wish me good luck and even drew me a picture to take the first day. Jeff sent me flowers to the school first day and made everyone super jealous and came and brought the kids and took us out to lunch yesterday ... It was yummy, we had Thai food. Savana keeps me informed on her through calls each day and comes in to see me whenever she is in Logan and that is awesome. I miss Kacee.. she is the one that I don't get to see hardly at all as she works swing shift and is gone when I get home and still sleeping when I leave. She texts me though all day and gave me the sad news that she has to work again this weekend so I don't get to see her then either.. But, it is only a short time.
Kassi is doing so good with her surgery now over, she only took pain meds on the first day of surgery and now is running around like nothing happened. I am so happy, as she has found a playmate that is so good for her and social needs. Her name is Ireland and they have become playmates almost every day!
Bug is a lifesaver, he has taken over all the chores, laundry and running little kids around. It is so great having him here as I know they are doing well.. He even cooks dinner every night~~
Josh is bored with summer already, but, he loves having Bug home and is spending some good quality time with him. He registers for football this weekend and has been doing some weight training with Bug a little each week (they are trying to get 6 packs!!)
Jeff is still working 12 hour days M-F and 10 hours on Saturday every day. He did get a day off this week, thank heavens. I so hope they get another pharmacist in soon as he can't keep up this many hours each week for too much longer..
Okay that is the catch up so far, whohooooo.. thanks for stopping and supporting me everyone!

First week of School
I just finished my second day of school.. I have only burned my thumb a little bit, honest!!!! I learned how to use those funky curling irons today and do my first hairstyle and manicure.. Everyone is super nice and it seems like a really fun place to be and learn.
Jeff sent me flowers on my first day to the school and everyone was way jealous and can't wait to meet him.. He is coming to have lunch with me tomorrow.. whohoooohoooo..
Savana got her 3D ultrasound yesterday too and came to the school to show me pictures of our little T.J. Yup he is all boy and I am soooo excited to have this experience. Daddy (Trevor) went straight to cabella's and bought him a camoflauge onesie and p.j.s and of course a bottle and binky to match.. hehe..
I found some cute little converse shoes with puppy dogs on them too.. oh my the kid is going to be spoiled!!!!
Welcome to the family Travis Earl John. We love you so much all ready..

School, It's My Turn!!!!!
So it is official.. I am headed back to school!!!!! I was going to start in September but, today I was contacted and asked to start on June 15th with one other gal. I will be getting more one on one attention with this starting date and soooo excited, nervous, and anxious!!!
I will be going to Cosmetology school and the kids will be taking over the store while I am going. I will continue to have it online as well and with a few adjustments in times open to walk in customers not much will change in that area.
I am excited and so lucky to have a supportive group of family and friends with me. Finally it is my turn~~~ whohohoooooo!!!!!!

Home.. a good place to be!
We are finally home from our trip and we had sooo much fun. I loved the sun and soaked it in all week long. Some of us ended up with some wicked sunburns but all of them say it was worth it!!! I think Bug ended up the worst. I have to get the pics off of my dad's camera and then will share the swollen sleeping man!!
Doing lots of catch up work and trying to get myself more organized and ready for the summer. Always so many things to catch up with and deal with when you come home from a trip isn't there.. sometimes I wonder if it was worth going especially during the stresses of catching up.. but.. onward onward.. here we go!!!
Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Ammonia Scare.. 4/23
So Monday night I decided to take the kids on a walk about 8:00.. all went fine.. no biggie, I thought.. ugh.. Got almost home and started to have this burning and itching sensation all over my arms and back.. so as soon as I got home I hopped in the shower but, then I started to break out in hives by now I was really hurting and not too happy.. couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. I had a really strong taste in my mouth and burning in my nose as well. I took a valium that I had left over from one of my surgeries because I couldn't find any dang benedryl.. About 9:20 Jeff came home and I was not in good shape at all, he found the benedryl which of course was right under my nose and I took 2 of those. I then decided to try to sleep and lie down and took the rest of my nightly meds.. one just happens to be ambien.. right as I swallow it Jeff says.. ummm don't take your ambien.. oops.. soooo... Yes I slept very well and into the next mid morning actually... Tuesday I was still burning and itching and then we figured out what it was.. There is a farmer here by us that has one of the ammonia tanks for his fields he uses. I must have had a reaction to it (I have had them before) and not realized.. ugh... not a fun couple of days!!!
Soo.. today I had to go to the dentist.. as many of you know this is one of my greatest fears.. I despise going and am well known to pull my own tooth out instead of going.. but, I did it.. got a crown on and scheduled for my next set of work. I also have to go back to the specialist today for repairs on my bone graph that was done last year.. the dentist walked me over to the specialist office and said.. get her in today so she can't get out of it.. haha
At least it can't be worse right!!!!
ok.. I am off my complaining box and ready to hear something good.. so let me at it!!

Most of you know my Daughter Savana and her hubby Trevor. They have been through quite an experience in their short marriage and we are sooo grateful for the blessings of Trevor's transplant and new life. They have been married almost 3 years now and were told that they most likely would not be able to have children.
Well today I got a phone call at 6:00 am.. Savana was crying on the other end and immediately I thought the worst and thought that Trevor had a rejection to one of the new organs... Nope...
She got a positive pee test!!!!!!!!! after a busy morning and quite emotional one at that we are confirmed...
Savana and Trevor are having a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a gift!!!
YES I did take pictures of the 2nd positive test and kept the receipts and YES we are already planning the page to announce the news!!!!

Secret Has Been Revealed about TTS!!!
I have toyed with many thoughts and things that I would like to see in the site.. I have looked into what would happen if..... lots of ways, of areas....
This obviously started as a great and exciting adventure to me... It was a dream that I have had for many many years and because of some dear friends it was made possible.
Life is all about change and sometimes if handled correctly then change can be good... Sometimes change can cause hardships and we all know about that. This site has gone through some major ups and downs and has come close to having to close its doors.
I had some heart to heart discussions with a couple of very very close friends and then with my husband.
Now you can tell friends somethings.. but husbands.. anyway mine.. I can really share all my gut with.. he can help me sort through things and help me with perspectives and ideas on how to reach goals etc. He is obviously my biggest support and a wonderful man that has bailed me out not only financially with my business but emotionally as well.
After talking with my hubby, I have realized a few things.. I know who my firends are and what they do for me.. they are an inspiration that other than my family is most important to me in my life. Most of those friendships have come from this site and this community. I am honored to call you all my family.. I don't want to loose this dream.. I want to fight until the very end to make it successful and am determined that is what I will do. We will succeed...
Some of the changes that are going to happen are big changes.. the site overhaul is a big overhaul.. the design work will be different.. we will have more advanced features and a very competive opportunity to work with. This has come to be more of a reality than ever this week as I have worked with the new webdesigner in planning and seeing the first mock up of the site..
I have decided that with the change it is like starting over.. a fresh chance for us to really make it what I dreamed it would be from the start. It is in our reach now and with that I have decided that the time to make the change should go all the way... A fresh new start...
So... with that I have decided that I want to also Start over with a new name to the site.. There are many many treasured memories with TTS the name, and they were shared and grew to a wonderful community. I have thought and thought and talked and talked about it for so long it is time to make it all changed, now is the best time to do that with the site upgrade to a dedicated server, new design and hopefully new dreams that will cooincide with the ones I had with TTS.
My dream is not to be a huge site that is impersonal.. but, one that is healthy, loving and most importantly finacially stable enough to not have to rely on my poor hubby to bail me out each month!!!
My biggest and everyone else's love of this community is us.. the people in it .. and those people are the ones we want to bring to the community.. and we can do it!!!
So... with all that... thank you all so much for all your support... and here is the name of our new site and new start...
One Single Seed . com

My biggest and everyone else's love of this community is us.. the people in it .. and those people are the ones we want to bring to the community.. and we can do it!!!
So... with all that... thank you all so much for all your support... and here is the name of our new site and new start...
One Single Seed . com
Welcome to my dream!!!!! and thanks for sharing it with me...

What a Week!!
Wow what a whirlwind week this has been... Kassi has been sick off and on for about a week.. she seemed better yesterday so I sent her to school.. She came home from school and had a really red hot rash all over her stomach, legs and arms... I was sooo upset for sending her to school... This morning it was worse so we called the dr and got her in.. yup, she has strep.. I am one of those people who get so irritated when people send their kids to school sick knowing they are sick.. and her I send Kassi.. of course I didn't know but I feel horrible to have sent her. She also has very very sensitive skin and so we need to get her a medication for that and change to dye free soaps and a lotion to help with the dryness during the winter months...poor little one.. I feel so bad for her.. On the plus side I think that through this we might have found a better dr..I was impressed with him and so was Jeff. He was super nice and very thorogh.
Now for some TTS news.. there is a big big secret that is going to be revealed next month and I am sooooo excited about it... I can't wait for the reveal and really hope that this will help us change things for the better with all that has happened this last few months. I am excited to have a start over and looking forward to the challenges that it will bring. So make sure that you check often there as there will be some major changes starting in about 2 weeks... whohohooooooooo
Again, another shout out to all those gals at TTS helping out.. Nancy, Laura, you two are amazing.. I have never seen two people work so hard to pull things back up so quickly and do it so successfully. I appreciate and love all my gals there but these two really have gone over the top to make things ok... thank you all sooo very much!!! you will be happy with all the new surprizes coming to us..

TTS Hidden Treasures!!!!
So, if you are a part of TTS and are reading this then you know that we experienced yet another terrible weekend with server problems and yet another set back...
I just want to tell you that I have some of the best people ever working with me there.. I was seriously ready to just throw in the towel after this one.. how many things can actually go wrong before you give up.. but, several of my most wonderful friends pulled together and helped us work it out to working state again.. of course it is with a set back but, because of them we are still going and they are keeping me more determined than ever.. I love you guys!!!!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart..
BTW,.. I have a little incentive program going there for those on the ct.. so if you are involved.. you might want to post a little comment here!!!
