BACK FOR A MOMENT...

Been away for a while and managed to get a short visit in with my daughter and my other grandson before the sickness crept into our home. I am happy to say that my boys are well now but I'm still hanging onto "it", complicated due to my cancer. I'm feeling really horrible. I have a dr. appt. on Wednesday with a new doc. I hope he's a good one. From that appt. will come all of my referrals to the rest of my new medical crew.. And so it begins, again..

One thing I have decided. I'm not doing anything regarding my health until after the first of the year. My kids have had enough shitty holidays because of me being sick, I will not put them thru another one. This is the magical time of year not the time of year to be visiting their Mom in the hospital.

Forgive me if I use my blog to express my pain, frustrations and fears of the upcoming year but I cannot burden my household with this again...

Thank you all.

PS - Prayers are welcome, just please, no God emails. =)

SICKNESS ENVELOPES THE HOUSE...

This is horrible! Fortunately the kiddies are on their way to recovery but I am now on day two of feeling as tho I swallowed a porcupine and coughing up a lung.

I'm going to bed.

I hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend.

NOT MY FAULT

On Thursday afternoons son #3 stays after school for jam sessions. I drive him to school on Thursdays because he brings his guitar and it's too bulky for the bus. Typically these departures and arrivals are seemless.. Except for today...

Maybe it was because I hadn't gotten any sleep last night, maybe it was because it was freezing this morning and I thought my nipples were going to snap off! Whatever the reason, I pulled up into the student drop off loop with all of the other "good" parents and son #3, after offering me the top of his hard, crackling, gelled head for a kiss, jumps out of my vehicle. I proceed to pull away...

OOPS!!!!!!!!!

Next thing I hear is "MMMMOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!" Son #3 had grabbed the door handle as I was pulling away!!!!!

"Way to embarrass me in front of everyone Mom!!!!" He says.

Of course I'm laughing not even thinking of the many, many ways this morning could have gone horrifically wrong and landed us in the emergency room... Noooo I was laughing too hard!

AND! It's NOT MY FAULT son #3 grabbed the door handle of a MOVING vehicle!!!!
What a dumb ass!!!
Still laughing about it....
