And even though I'm pressed for time, I'm gonna go through with the 411 here at the 2241. hehe
- Mario, our son's 6 month old Sulcata Tortoise (that Santa brought him this past Christmas) passed away on Sunday, May 30th. It was devastating. For him, and for us, his parents to watch him go through the pain and mourning of losing someone in your life. Sure, I loved on him, consoled him, gave him his needed space, explained death, and life in heaven. Still, it was difficult, to say the least. I don't know what we are going to do now. Do we get a replacement? How soon? Ugh... so, the tank stays dark in our son's room. We shall see.
- Daddy got his test results back. How I understand it is this. He has the type of cancer people live 20 years with. While he took an 'aggressive approach' and went through months of chemo, he's beaten it. He has to go back every 6 months for another dose of chemo, but no cancer has progressed... so, with this he will 'manage'. Honestly, I don't really understand it all. Sometimes I wish I can be there at the dr appts. More good news, his heart has improved from 30% (back in September 1998 when he had his heart attack) to 45%. And his kidney function is up, as well as his potassium level. The only thing we are working on now is getting control of the Anemia. But Praise God, my Daddy is alive and well and still here with us today!!
- Summer is here, as are the new hours. 10+ hours a day working like crazy people, but this is our livelihood and ya gotta work while it's there. The kids are enjoying their summer camp (although I've had my fair share of problems... oh problems!! with the administration... ugh). Summers always add their own bit of extra stress to the mix. While I remember my summers being careless and fun and free, this is the time that Paul and I become (as he likes to say) 'Houdini' til October. Thank God for Paul's wonderful parents, who take the kids for two weeks in the summer, and they do the most amazing things (ex. Horseback Riding, Legoland, the beach. Movies in the Park, etc.). Thankfully this year they are also taking my nephew (who is 8). Which leads me into my next semi-topic...
- My sister's divorce is almost (cross your fingers) final. June 24 they go before a judge and hopefully all is settled. Child Custody and Child Support are numero uno on the list (did I mention that my soon-to-be-ex-brother-in-law has given exactly $150 since January to my sister and their 3 kids leaving Paul and I and my parents financially strapped beyond belief)... (oops, sorry, I really couldn't help it)... ANYWAY... along with that, I just hope we can move on with our lives after that date. I think this has been the biggest weight I have ever had to carry. I love my sister, and I will always be there for her... but this divorce has strained me so much, I can't really even begin to explain. I don't want to explain. I just pray that after all is said and done, life can somehow resemble what it once was for me.
Okay, on that super note... hehe. No, I really do apologize for not keeping up on this blog. I have every good intention, just life... I don't know where it's been going lately. I promise to do my best and keep in touch.
Until we meet again...
MUAH! xoxo
