Just a Quick Note…
My hubby had surgery on his calf this morning (gastrocnemius-muscle recession), so I have been sitting in the recovery room with him for most of the day. He’s doing great (just groggy and very sleepy from all the meds). We just arrived home about 30 minutes ago and now I’m scrambling to get the laundry done, dinner cooked and all those other fun duties! Yipppeee! 🙂
Anyway, I did want to quickly apologize for not being quite “there” today… if you know what I mean. I know some of the deals I posted didn’t quite go as planned (I’m mainly talking about the Gilt Zoobie Pets deal). I normally test out deals more thoroughly… But, as I’m sure you understand, my attention and focus was not at all on my blog today. Hopefully I’ll be back in the swing of things tomorrow!
Oh and seriously the way all of you help each other out in the comment section is so awesome! I was especially touched when I was reading all the comments on this post. You all are so generous.
god bless you collin
Family is so First! Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the hubby. Guess he gets to sit home and watch you in complete Wonder Woman action tomorrow. His head will be spinning and his eyes rolling, like my hubby, who is home with a bum ankle.
Hope he feels better, and thank you for all you do :0)
wow you would never know you were away you have been rolling them out left and right today great job Hope he has a fast recovery
Family ALWAYS comes first… no need for apology!!! THANKS COLLIN!!!
I agree with Jessica S.!! Hope all is well & keep up the good work, you rock!
Collin, You were where you were supposed to be. Family comes first, and all us Hippers know that, so you don’t have to apologize!
All my best to hubby…and to you, take the night off and put your feet up and rest 😀
take care of that hubby!! and thanks for all you do 😀 your just great! i agree, no need for apolygy 😀 take care!
Praying for a speedy recovery! Thank you for everything you do and never apologize for putting your family first 🙂
Hopefully he feels better soon.
Thank you for all you do! You are amazing and I can’t believe all that you do!
Forget your website, family is more important. Don’t apologize for being a wife and mother, who cares about her family. Your website proves you care about others, but many if not most of your readers have their own families, they care about, which is why they look to you for discounts and freebies.
Good heavens girl, take a day off. We’ll be here when you get back. Best wishes to your hubby for a speedy recovery. If he is anything like my husband, then they are worse to take care of than little kids!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please don’t rush back, take care of YOU and your family!!! Thanks for all that you do for us Collin!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you & family for a speedy recovery
Collin-Time to pop in one of those fantastic frozen meals! Im using one of mine tonight, the cheesy rice broc chicken casserole….Im also not “cooking” dinner all 7 days of my husbands shift (usn) since I have such great frozen meals prepared ahead of time…thanks to the holiday challenge! 🙂 Im thinking I should cook ahead of time more often. Hope the hubby heals quickly and life is back to normal soon.
Heres to a speedy recovery….. Family first is right… We will manage but not for too long… : )
Wishing all of you the best! Thank you for everything you do for Everybody!
Hope your hubby recovers quickly. It’s amazing that you were online at all today! 🙂
Collin – family comes first! I just want to say that I am always amazed that the dedication and effort you put into this website – it is like a 24 / 7 job, I don’t know how you find time for yourself! Don’t ever feel guilty for “slow” days – I am continuously grateful for all the hard work you do each day. So thank you and God Bless you and your family!
Let him know that we wish him a speedy recovery and strength for you to take care of him! : )
More wishes for a speedy recovery from my way as well! I hope he gets better soon!!
You don’t owe any of us an apology. You did, and always do, the right thing. Family comes first. Saying lots of prayers for your DH for a quick recovery.
God bless you and your hubby. I don’t know how you did all this and spent time at the hospital with him – truly amazing.
Wish your husband a speedy recovery!
Hope you enjoy all the fun duties 🙂
I hope your hubby has a speedy recovery. As for the updates, there’s always another deal, and I haven’t noticed that there were any less or more vague posts recently. Relax and take care of your family.
