It's already...

the middle of the week. MAN... where DOES the time go??? To schedules... I guess.

Here's a quick run down...

'B' & 'S' worked on the will yesterday. Sounds like things are in order now there. B had a hard time breathing by the time they arrived back home... and nearly passed out again. :( :( I was able to talk to him around 10 last night... and seemed like he was doing better. He at least convinved me that he was. :S :S

We had ball practice last night. The kids are SOOO cute! Hopefully our game isn't rained out tomorrow... but it's not looking very good. :( It will most likely be wet again for soccer practice also... which I might cancel instead of being soaked for that many hours.

Tonight... it's teaching again. Miranda is spending most of the day at the field and track meet at the Middle School with a friend. Amber's on her 7th day left of preschool. She's becoming so independent... it's just AMAZING!!! She asked me this morning if when she is 6 if she can ride the bus. I told her that when she is 5 ... she can ride. She piped right up and said "That doesn't make sense... because I am 5 already..." LOL!! Yes, but when you start kindergarten... you can go then. :D She's excited... no doubt.

Not too many other things are new... just needed to document a few things. :)

Scratch... scratch... scratch... scratch...

and it continued... and continued. WTH... is the noise?? Well... as S & I were both sturring at 2:20 am this morning... S did get up to see. Sure enough... we had a visitor AT our walk out patio door. :O :O :O YIKES!!! The neighbors pet racoon was wanting in. YIKES YIKES YIKES!!!! Yep... he obviously wanted more cat food... and knew where to go for more food. LOL!!! After he went back down the stairway... S and I layed in bed chatting about what he was saying. It was pretty funny... until... he was BACK!!! URGH!!!! He's on a trial and error schedule now. If he disrupts any more than 2 more nights... the great white hunter might have to point him in the right direction. The last time was pretty funny though... because he continued to look in... even while S was on the other side with the light on. I told S that we needed to give him a sign that we are new to the neighborhood... and that he needs to go back home. LMAO!!!

Well...

it's been since December, but it doesn't take long to remember what it's like to have a garage again for your vehicle. Yesterday I moved... and moved stuff to make room. It's SOOO nice to be able to get into a warm vehicle. :) :) :)

Not much of an update on 'B'. Either I mis-understood... or didn't hear correctly, but there was only an u/s done yesterday to see how full his lungs were. It had been only 2 days since they were drained... so they wanted to see how fast it was coming back. So for **I** haven't been told how it turned out.

Well... not much else is new. Soccer practice AND ball game is tonight... sounds like either fast food or a picnic for us for supper. I have decided to add to my own 'plate' some more... and I'm taking on a 4th class for the week. It's another stability ball one... but I would actually prefer it over my other class. It will be on Saturday mornings. We'll see how it goes. :)

'B's

lungs are filling up. They did remove as much as they could yesterday... and they are testing it. Today we should know... if the cause of the fluid is his CHF or the cancer. Please continue to send some prayers our way. I have a feeling that it will not be good either way. Our friend that past away 2 months ago... started his down hill slide this very same way.

RIGHT NOW...

the new owners should be signing papers for my house!!! I'm super EXCITED... but nervous also. :) :) :)

Not doing so well...

Friday... 4 of us went to visit 'B'. We sang Happy Birthday to him... which turned us all very emotional. They were doing a procedure on Saturday to see what was causing the internal bleeding. After the procedure, they had no explanation for it. So... they put him into surgery. They did find the reason... he had a tear in his intestine. As of Saturday evening... the blood had discontinued.

Saturday though... he started having problems breathing. :( :( Now they are pretty sure he has pnumonia. :( He is struggling to keep his breathe.

Happy 68th Birthday... Grandpa Bill.

I start this off, this way... because he made it to this day, but it's not good.

S & M are at the hospital with him as I type. We were going to celebrate tonight... but I haven't felt good about his condition all week... and then this. From the sounds of it... he passed out and fell. He can't stand now. The cancer I'm sure is taking over.

Please pray that he's not in pain... and if it's time... that he will pass peacefully. This family has been thru so much ... already.

This CRAZY week...

Let's see... it's already Thursday, so I'll recap some of the weekend and then what is in store for us this week. :)

Last weekend... we spent a lot of Friday night and Saturday... moving stuff from the other house. By Saturday night... I was exhausted and everything was moved. Let me clarify... all of the wall decorations are still there... which I'm NOT moving until the weather clears up and I won't risk them being damaged.

Sunday... started all of Jaslin's Birthday celebrations. She turned 7 on Sunday the 13th. :D :D :D We did a surprise family lunch at Valentino's at noon. SURPRISED ... she was. :D From there... she spent her money at WalMart for some more DS games. By 1:45... we were at the bowling alley for her party. We had 5 out of 10 show... but made the best of it. Miranda, myself, and S was able to bowl then also. It was a good time. From there... Jas & Am went with my mom and step-dad to the movie's. Miranda and I went home and gathered up the larger garbage items... for the City clean-up this week. WHAT a difference... getting rid of the old owners junk makes. :)
We then went to Playa Azul for a birthday party for Bruce. Gotta love not cooking. ;-) Back home for baths and bed. :)

Monday... I taught class after working... and was preparing for the audit on Wednesday at work.

Tuesday... After working... we had ball practice at 5 pm. The wind was terrible... but we all survived and had all but one player show. :)

Wednesday... is ALWAYS my stressful day... so adding that I had the audit was NO surprise. :S Made it thru that... then after work headed to the Y to teach, had a meeting between... then teach again... and headed home. I was tired enough that while trying to watch my Denise Austin tape to get new moves... I feel asleep. Awww.... gotta love waking up in the morning.

With it raining today... my guess is that our soccer practice AND ball game is canceled. Makes me wonder how many we will even get in ... with this crazy weather.

OH... Oh... how could I ever forget. The sitework DID get done on Tuesday... the rock was delivered yesterday... so we can USE the building. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Now... it's just time to part with stuff IN the garage... and move things around... so mama has a garage. :) :) You'd think that we could move the stuff... so that I could have 1 of the 3 stalls. ;-) Maybe by Sunday, right??

As for a quick update on 'B'. He's not doing very well. He purchased a plot on Monday. :( :( We happened to see him yesterday (although he didn't see us) and he's just not moving or looking good at all. His 68th birthday is Friday. He's excited about having supper with us... so I just hope that he's well enough to do so.

It's NOW or NEVER

Yep... I'm bound and determined to get that stuff from the other house this weekend. I'm getting close on days... and it's also starting to BUG me to the point that... it's ALL I think about. :( :( I don't like things like this. There is a lot of stuff over there... so it's going to take awhile to do. 'sigh' I know that I'll feel better once it's moved... but it's just DOING IT!!!

Then... it's off to try to organize the stuff. I know... one thing at a time, right??

Soccer was canceled last night... I'm sure that the game will be tomorrow... and the races are canceled. What a perfect time to get this stuff ALL done, right?? Well... keeping in mind that we have Jaslin's birthday and party this weekend also. :) :)

I think she's right...

that is my new gyno. After a very nice long talk... I'm pretty sure that I do have endometriosis. Everything points to it... and I'm going to try to take the steps to help with it. Thinking positive here. :) After a few insurance emails... I'm waiting for a call back from her now with the next step.

Today has been CRAZY!!!!!! I need to skip lunch for the gyno appointment.. only to have the school nurse call and tell me that Miranda is sick. So... I take her home, return to work (which is CRAZY right now) and get things ready for while I'm out. THEN... I forget my cell phone. Which... when I return to work has a vm on it. :S :S :S Weird... from another school. Not the girls this time... but instead Drae. I find the time to call the nurse back... and his back is totally giving him fits. NICE!!!!!!! She actually scheduled an appointment for him. WTH!! I don't even feel right doing that... :S :S :S Any way... I can't reach S... so finally text him to call me back. After another 45 minutes... he calls back. Of course everything is in 'code' when it comes to him. 'shaking my head' WHATEVER!! Yes... it must not be good if he layed down in the nurses' office... AND called and left a message on MY phone. HULLOOOOO!!!

THEN... I'm at work and get an email that I'm the new t-ball coach!!!! WTF???? :O :O :O OMG... NO WAY!! It's coach pitch!!! HULLLOOOOO............. I don't play ball! :S :S :S MAN!!! WHY ME?????????? So... between working 42 hours a week, teaching 3 classes at the Y ... and being a soccer coach... I'm coaching ball also. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The last 4 days...

have been quite busy.

Friday... we visited 'B' in the hospital again. His CHF is really affecting him now. As of today... he's still in the hospital. Some of the things going on to me... is not right. IE... having chemo when his body is so down and out already. It's hard for him to catch his breathe. He's also mentioning about being transferred to another University. It's hard to stay positive on that when the only thing it will do... is cause him to be away from family. There is NO cure for this, and so it's upsetting that his Dr's are suggesting that it's a good idea too. As 'S' put it the other day... does he think that there is a Dr that can help change things from years of smoking 4 packs a day?? :( :( :(

This weekend was a busy one of trying to clean and get the building ready to move some items in. We need to now finishing filling the joints and sealing them. Then it's MOVE time. After racing... we now have another car in there already. :S :S :S Makes it tough to move things around to finish... but we're dealing with it. Just need some DRY days to finish things. I did take the time and remove some old wired fence in the yard. BOY... does that make a difference. :) I got cut by an old piece... I'm trying to keep it clean so I don't get it infected. :S :S :S

Also Friday... I had 3 moles removed from my face/neck area. They are doing pretty good. The one on my neck is pretty 'touchy' though. Must be from the movements that I do with my neck. I'm ready for the redness to heal and be gone. :) Tomorrow is my gyn appt with my new Dr. I'm hoping and praying that things go good. :) 'crossing fingers'

The invites are out... so hopefully Jaslin will have a good birthday this coming weekend. Hard to believe that she's going to be 7 already! :O :O :O

Soccer practice and games start this week. Swimming started on Saturday morning. At least MOM will make sure that they are there on time. 'rolling my eyes' Excuses ... excuses DUDE... plan ahead.

So...

I'm at home again today with a sick one. :( Amber is just not kicking her stomach flu. We went to the Dr this morning to get her something to help with it. I noticed that it said "may cause drowsiness". I'm thinking... ok, yeah... she needs to sleep this off.

So... I've been by her side all afternoon on the computer or laying with her. I'm sitting here typing... and I hear water.......... WATER........... WATER........... OMG... I have the WTH look... knowing that it's only Am and I here. :O :O :O :O WTH... is the water noise coming from. When I'm watching her sleep... thinking... WTH. I go to her and say "Are you peeing the bed..??" In this squeeky little sleepy voice... I get "Yes..." OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember... she has NOTHING on ... but a shirt. NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg!!!!!!!!!!!! Well... thank goodness for a mattress protectant sheet. :S :S :S Get this.... after cleaning her up... while she fell back asleep... she then slept in a pile of clothes until I could get the wet sheets and towels off of her bed. :O :O UNREAL!!!!!!!!! I was able to pick her up from the floor... and put her back on the bed... and as of now 1/2 hour later... she is STILL sleeping. Let's hope and pray that this medicine helps her tummy... like it's helping her sleep. LOL!

B...

I didn't update here for the weekend on 'B'... but I feel that I can now.

He's not good. :( :( Sunday he stopped out and admitted to me that he couldn't breathe. I felt so torn because S was gone... and with the girls' sick ... I couldn't even chance it asking him to come in the house. :( :( :( He is unable to sleep very well even with his new bed. He has to lay on his left side because of not being able to breathe any other way. I'm sure that his lungs are filling. 'sigh'

A salesman made a comment to S yesterday that B is really showing his age. Jas heard this and said "What is wrong with Grandpa??" I just said that with him being sick. She said "Oh... that must not be good?" I said... "Well... I guess it would be odd if he said that he acted like a baby..." S, Jas, and I LOL.

B's birthday is in about 3 weeks. I know that we want to have a party for him... I know that S is coping with this in his own way... and it just hurts to see him like this. He's really turning towards the racing because that is something that him and his dad did... I just hate to see both of them in so much pain. :( :( :(
