Although its nothing too great its still a post and that in itself is something!
Lets see...Sunday sis had the tummy bug and is still complaining of a stomach ache 6 days later. But she was only really sick one day. I had it Wed. so I can totally relate. Little man had it Thurs. and I am hoping Speck doesn't get so lucky. Hubby really stands no chance because he has been gone turkey hunting for the last two weeks. I am REALLY trying to be nice but my patience are runnning out :) He literally was gone until Wed, came home around 6, dumped dirty clothes in the floor and said, "I really need these tomorrow" by 7 am he was on his way to the office to make an appearance and by 2 pm he was gone again. But I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the facts, sort of.
Speck had a minor oral surgery yesterday. There was a tumor growing over a tooth that was preventing it from coming in so they removed it. I thought they would cut it out and suture it up. They definiately cut it out, but they did not suture it up. There is a huge, gaping hole in his mouth. It makes my knees weak. I do not like that kind of stuff!!! He is such a trooper though. No complaints at all.
I have been working on a paper for several weeks now. The kind that can make or break a graduation. I finally finished it today and turned it in. All 24 pages of it. Whoo Hoo!! And I got an email that said the graduation requirements had been changed (which initially made me flip out) but ended up working in my favor. NO SUMMER SCHOOL!!! and I got my official letter last week that says the REAL fun will start Aug 15. I am just thankful for the opportunity. I'm not sure its sunk in yet. But I am excited.
The house is moving right along. The sheet rock is hung and the brick is going up. Much to my dismay. I do NOT like the color. We are working on that. Hubby insists he can get it handled. He just has to come home long enough to do it. Maybe that is the issue with my crankiness??!!
So far I have been through 8 different wall colors and still no luck. I just can't seem to find one I like. Guess I will keep looking. So if you are in need of a pint of paint in pretty much any color, let me know. I probably have it in my garage.
We are making the trip to TX again next weekend. My papa went to the oncologist Tuesday. The cancer has spread into the tissue around his lungs and to his esophagus. He is losing blood somewhere but they can't find the source. He has a major infection that antibiotics are not helping. The doctor told him that in his opinion it was a "matter of weeks" Next Sat is their 60th anniversary and we are all going to celebrate, as much as possible. My grandma wants a family portrait so that is the plan for now. Sis is having a really hard time. She keeps crying and saying she doesn't want to lose him. We have had MANY conversations about heaven and God and death and all the things a 4 year old shouldn't have to talk about. She drew a picture and wants to mail it to Jesus to that papa will have it when he gets to heaven. She wants to know how long he will be gone and when he will come back. And if he will always keep her in his heart because she will always keep him in hers. He calls her Sally just to aggrivate and it has always done just that. Gotten a rise out of her. Now she wants everybody to call her that. A little overwhelming.
My mom is struggling with losing her dad. And I am struggling with seeing her so upset. She is always so strong. I am afraid this is literally going to be more than she can take. Every time she doesn't answer her phone I panic. I hate that she is huring so bad and I can't do anything to help.
Papa here fell this week. Thankfully he is ok. just bruised. My grandma is having a hard time. her mind deteriorates more every day. Hospice is still working out good and that is a blessing for us all.
