Cloudy with a Chance of Chilly

Hello...?...? (peeks head in..)...Is anyone here??....

I've missed you all so much! I've been busy dragging Chilly to physical therapy
multiple times per week (trying to get him up walking again) as well as going to lots of follow-up doctor appointments trying to keep him among the living. His doctors are 45 minutes away. As a matter of fact, my day usually begins with Willie Nelson whispering "On the Road Again" in my ear... it's kind of like that movie "Groundhog Day" where Bill Murray wakes up every day to "I've Got You, Babe". Thanks, Chilly...the good times just keep coming with you!


So, Chilly and I took Catherine out to see "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs." It was a FABULOUS day! First of all, there was no pink bucket tagging along.......What? What does a pink bucket have to do with taking your wee girl to a movie? Pink Bucket hasn't left Chilly's side since he was in the hospital. I'm sure you can use your imagination to figure out what might end up in the pink bucket...let's just say it starts with "v and ends with "t" all thanks to the swelling in Chilly's cerebellum..niiiice..We haven't been able to take Chilly anywhere because, let's face it, no one wants to hang out with a guy who's tossing up his cookies every five minutes. (no, that is not a gross exaggeration...well, it's gross, but not an exaggeration...) Plus, for some bizarre reason, Chilly gives it everything he's got...like he's trying out for some disgusting world record on who can do this the loudest. Gackety gack and more gack...Anyhoo....

I decided to treat Irish Dancer Girl to a movie (after I confirmed the sale of my kidney to pay for the tickets) to bring a smile to her face. Chilly wanted to go along....uh~oh...Irish Dancer Girl was pretty clear that Pink Bucket would not be welcome. In her words, "Dad, the movie isn't called Cloudy With a Chance of
V..."(well, you get the idea...) So, Chilly ventured out without PB. Thank Goodness! It was a successful trip...hallelujah!

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was FANTASTIC! We loved it! Definitely worth the kidney sacrifice! I highly recommend it! We will be purchasing the DVD when it comes out. It was absolutely delightful!


It was the first time that Chilly has ever been able (due to his many health complications) to go to a movie with Irish Dancer Girl at a movie theater. It was a very special day. Chilly was pretty overwhelmed with the reality that we may not have many of these special outings ahead of us and that we really need to soak it all in while we do. It was a day filled with many emotions, but much joy. (Looking forward to more outings without the pink bucket!)

I've heard that was a good movie - from a 4 year olds mouth! :) Hope Chilly gets to feeling better! I know it will be a long road to recovery, but atleast he's got his family by his side!

I KNOW exactly what the pink bucket is for!! I carried one around for months while I was working in a Pediatric Office and preggo.......not fun driving on the freeway with that thing held up to your mouth. I got some interesting reactions!!

I heard that this movies was fabulous! I loved the book :)
Maybe I too should take out a small loan and take the wee ones to the movies ;)

Hang in there my friend!! You're amazing :)
That is so cool that you were able to do that! Puking is no fun-- I hope Chilly has passed that stage and not just for that one day. Men seem to have a really bad time of it. Like they sneeze really loud--you know what I mean?

I'm so glad you guys had fun!

OH Girl! Sorry I have been MIA.. And oh crap! I didn't even know about what happened to Chilly, I have been a bad blogger, but slowly coming back.

my heart is torn, I shed a tear or more, girl, if you ever need anything, let me know.

hugs and prayers for you.

We have said pink bucket from our 52 day stay at the hospital when Landon was born. Now I use it for Coco's hand washing, and Lilly P dresses! Way to turn it into a positive right? I hope yours can turn into a planter, and Chilly feels no more pukies. How wonderful that he got to go to the movies. Made me tear up! YOUR MY HERO. REMEMBER THAT. xo
aurora said…
Sounds like a perfect family outing! Especially since the pink bucket wasn't invited along. :D
Love you! Hang in there. xo
Glad you got some quality time together. I miss you too, and I am praying for your sweet family every day.

xox
I hope that pink bucket kicks the bucket and yo never have to use it again.
Jenners said…
I'm so glad the movie outing worked out good and you guys got to have this special memory. I'm sure it is totally overwhelming to have these first and possibly lasts. I'm praying for you guys.
Vickie said…
I have heard good things about that movie. Totally gonna watch it when it is available OnDemand.

Maybe the pink bucket can retire:) Hoping you have a lot more family moments.
Eve said…
Oh dear... I'm a sympathy "V"-er. If I hear it, smell it or see it, I'll lose mine too! The strange part is that I almost never throw up when I'm actually sick.

I'm so glad to hear about the fantastic day! Everyone needs a movie day now and then and it sounds like you all were long overdue for an outing like that! :)
Unknown said…
Wonderful blog!! I so enjoyed reading through it :) I am following you!!!

I'm so glad you guys got to have a great outing like that. And sorry about the kidney. It would be funny but it's too close to the truth:)

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
