This week...

has been EXTREMELY busy!!!

Monday... S flew out bright and early for Vegas without ME!!!! He was going to have a very busy work conference schedule and I really needed to be here because of everything that was scheduled.

We had Miranda's teachers conferences. She's doing very well... but could be better if she could find some time to LISTEN and not TALK all of the time. We've had this comment since she was a kindergartener... nothing EVER changes in this area. 'sigh'

Last night... I arrived home to make supper ... only to have Jaslin inform me that Ella was back home. She'd been gone since the end of the week. Needless to say... she was rushed to the vet :( :( I hope that she makes it. The Dr seemed to know what was wrong with her... but she is VERY sick. :( :(

I hurried back home... to eat supper and get to Jaslin's teachers conferences next. She's doing WONDERFUL!!!! The teacher said that she could ONLY praise her... she listens, she does her work and works hard at doing her work... she offers to help out when she's done. Very patient and kind child. MAN... what praise that she does deserve. THAT is my girl!!!! I even said "At least I have one child just like ME!!!" Her dad of course nearly fell off of his chair. :D :D :D

I made the call...

which honestly doesn't seem REAL at all, but now Uncle R is looking for a car for M. Can you believe that she's getting to be that age ALREADY??? Yep... she will drive in October. Since I've decided to keep my vehicle... I thought that it would be a good time to start looking for her's. Then I could even drive it for awhile to make sure that everything is 'a ok' with it for her. I'd feel better that way. :) Any way... he said that he's start hunting a little better now since I realizes how close that time really is getting here.

B is not doing very good. White blood count is VERY VERY low. I'm searching now on what his numbers mean though. :(

Leaving the cemetary on Tuesday...

S & I drove by his mom's grave. It was just so cold looking not only because of the snow storm that we were in... but because all of the flowers were gone and it just looked so cold white and sad.

The next thing I know... we are discussing how we want to be 'disposed' of. We seen a mausoleum in which I told him that with being closterphobic... that would be 'my' way to be buried. He informed me that he also doesn't like the idea of being in the ground... and considering he fear of 'burning in his race car' the thought of being cremated is NOT an option either. So... we decided that we need to save a lot of money for burial plot because a mausoleum is our only option.

Tax time...

last night was my tax meeting with my accountant. I'm going to do very well this year. Next year will be slightly different with Amber starting school and hopefully by then my house is sold. I mentioned about purchasing a house for a rental... so I could have a profit and a interest expense, but she thought that was a bad idea because of how much of a pain in the A$$ that is. She mentioned that with daycare expenses and other expenses... that I should be fine. I had to remind her that my baby was going to be in school next fall. She said "Oh... that will change some of this then..." I also informed her that it would be a lot easier to purchase a rental house... instead of purchasing a child for more daycare expenses. LMAO!!! We had a good chuckle over that one. ;-P

Today started out very well... caught the bus on time, to work on time... and the sun is even shining. I'm headed to 'nap' at noon... so that maybe I can stay up after 9 pm tonight.

Tomorrow is friday... YEAH!!!! I'm so ready for a weekend. I do have CPR training tomorrow night... but that will only take a few hours of my weekend. I'm headed to the other house to get a few items that I accidently left there... so maybe I can finally upload some new pictures. :) :)

BTW... I did get out my 'electronic' Christmas gifts this past weekend. I'm still trying to get used to the 'Rooster' alarm... reminds me of my old house. ;-S

Not doing very well...

S's dad is not doing very well. Those were the words that 'S' even said last night. :( :( He's very yellow right now and not feeling very well. Chemo is scheduled again for Thursday. Prayers are certainly needed.

Hitting close to home.

Today was the funeral of a friend that past away last Friday morning from cancer. He was diagnosed the same week that S's dad was... and with S's dads condition getting worse... it was hard today. Besides that ... they have a 6 year old son... the same age as Jas. :( Sending continued prayers for their family... my heart breaks for them. The lake will never be the same this next summer.

Next... it's snowing like CRAZY. I'm so very sick of this weather... you have no idea how much I'd love to move... to WARMTH!!!! School is out now because of the up to 10" of snow they are predicting. I am solar powered... and this BITES!!!!

Until tomorrow...

The last 4 days...

have been tough. I got a call late Thursday that Amber was running a temperature. By the time I left the office... my cell phone was ringing again... that she was vomiting. My poor little one. Well... that continued until Friday morning. I thought that maybe... just maybe we were ok, right?? NOPE... by early evening she was running a 103.6 temp. YIKES!!! Advil 8 hour would take it down to around 100.8 ... but nothing lower. At 4:15 am on Saturday... her temp was 104.1. I was literally SCARED and layed with her trying to cool off her goose bumps from her terrible fever. I brought her into Urgent Care... to find out that she was positive for the Influenza. :( :( Poor little one. Her fever is nearly gone... and she's doing a lot better. What a rough last 4 days though. 'sigh' I just pray that she continues to improve.
