The long awaited Post

So this time I do have a lot to blog about...I know that you are all dying to hear what is going on in the Cummins house...HA HA HA HA

Where to start...well I had blogged in the last one that we had decided that I would apply for school and I did at IPFW and got my acceptance letter last week. I was totally stoked. I just finished filling out my FAFSA so I will wait to hear from the school about the financial aid. So, I am pretty excited about that. Rich also got accepted into Liberty University which he would do online to get his Masters in Theology or Divinity. He was excited about that as well. I have felt since Hunter was born that I need to go to nursing school, and I believe this is why God has been shutting all the doors on me getting a job. I did have an interview last week and will find out this week whether or not I got the job. Here is my fear though...I will get the job and is it God telling me to take it or a distraction from what I am actually supposed to be doing? Being a wife, a mother, a home care taker...I will have alot to take care of this summer anyway...the girls, the house, the yard, the flowers, help with the pool, laundry. I am just afraid that if I get this job it is a distraction from my calling right now. Plus, if I get it, I will have to be gone for training for a little over a week in Indy, so I wouldn't get to be home and that adds alot of pressure to everyone else in the family...I DON'T KNOW! I don't even know if I am going to get the job or not...

Hunter is doing well. We have been having some issues with the actual bag, but we don't have to do it very much longer. I am not sure if I talked about what would happen in May or not, so I am going to do it again. The surgery that he had a couple of weeks before the wedding...Dr. Smith took out 10 inches of his colon that was slow anyways and gave him a colostomy bag which he has had ever since. We go in on May 5th to schedule the surgery to reverse his colostomy and allow him to try and poop like normal. Dr. Smith is very confident that since he took out the part that was causing the blockages before, that this time it will work. I am praying to God that it will. We have never gotten to change an actual poopy diaper, so in a very weird way, I am looking forward to that. Other than that, he is a typical almost 4 year old boy. He has his moments when he can be so sweat and just wants to cuddle and tells me that he loves me sooooooooo much, but then he turns into Mr. Hyde and acts like a crazy person. His speech is much more developed than it was even a month ago and he is understanding bigger words. At times he can make me laugh, angry, cry, and be lividly furious all in one day. I guess that is the way that God feels about us sometime huh? He so desperately wants our attention, but we say to him what I say to Hunter at times...Hunter, mommy is busy. I can't be with you right now. When I am done, I will give you some time. How often do we do that to God...me included!

The girls are good. Claire is getting so big and has an almost insatiable appetite. She eats as much if not more than Rich does. She is 11 going on 27 I'll tell you what. She is smarter than me in certain area. I love her to death though. Chloe is also good. They both go to a Catholic school in Fort Wayne and she had her first Reconciliation a couple of weeks ago and she was so excited. She has her first communion on May 22nd and she is even more excited about that. They are both doing very well.

6 days ago, Rich and I started a new diet from Isagenix. All the women at his work have done it so we thought that we would try it...ummmmmm...yeah it's kind of like a concentration camp diet. The first day was a pre-cleanse day which consisted on a protein shake, a 300-600 calorie meal, followed by another protein shake. Every hour and a have you can have 2 dry roasted unsalted almonds and a chocolate tablet that tastes like crap. Then you have 2 cleanse days which is not eating at all and drinking this disgusting drink all day for two days and eating the almond and chocolate crap every 2 hours. Then it is make to the shake meal shake stuff for the rest of the time. The last day of the diet is a cleanse day. Now, this diet isn't for everyone, so I wouldn't recommend it to any of the skinny people. I have lost about 9 pounds and Rich has lost about the same. So, we are happy with that, but are ready to eat actual food again.

I can't think of anything else to tell you all about right now, so I hope this is enough for you to read...let me know if there is anything that I am missing.
