Little Miss Muffet ?

Special Olympics

Time goes too quickly. It doesn't seem like it has been a year since we did this : http://www.soky.org/specialevents/truckconvoy.htm





Now it is time again. We are going this weekend. Number #1 son will be staying at home and G will be staying with his second family. I am looking forward to some away time. These are pics from last year's convoy. It is unbelievable once you get on the road. Your heart is touched in so many ways during this brief time.

I received this text this morning:

Gustav was no Katrina....that just goes to show you when women get mad they break shit but when men get mad they just talk shit

Back to Normal ???

Well, looks like things might be getting back to normal(if there is such a thing). The Celebration
(www.twhnc.com) is over. You see, here in Middle TN there is a little county that host a BIG ten day horse show, the grandaddy of all horse shows and we don't go to school during that time. We start about a week before then we are out until after labor Day. Personally I would rather just start after Labor Day but they didn't ask me and they have been doing it this way since Moses was a baby. Number one son started back to college last night. He will be going to class 2 nights a week hoping to secure enough knowledge to pass the state board EMT test. We hope he succeeds :)

Missing G

This is where G is until Friday (yes I realize that would be tomorrow). I really miss him :(
I know he is having a good time despite the fact he hasn't bothered to call me(I did get a text). He is with his second family so I know he is in great hands and I don't worry (too much). What a great way to end summer vacation! Check it out!!

The Birthday Boy

Twelve years ago today this wonderful creature became a part of our family. We have NEVER been the same since. We didn't take any pics today(hence the date on the picture) because he has a strange eye infection, NO IT IS NOT PINK EYE, we're just not sure what it is. The doc gave us some drops and if they don't help he will give him an antibiotic. So much for a fun birthday :( he got to check out of school early, they were more than ready to get rid of him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G!

Long Time No Blog

Well, it's been a few days since my last post (ha) We took our trip to Florida to play baseball and we didn't win there either but we had a good time so that's all that counts. After returning home my mom was scheduled for surgery on the 7th of July(we came home on the 6th). Her surgery was successful and after three days we came home(to her house) then the nightmare began!!!! She had a horrible reaction to the pain medication and was completely out of her mind.

When I called the doctor I got one of his PA's who tried to tell me my mother was suffering form dementia. Wrong answer buddy, try again. So, he then tried to tell me that they are limited with the meds they can give the "elderly"(she is not you typical 72 yr old, therefore elderly not) for pain, so I then told him if you are limited then that means THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE!!! GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE!! He did, it didn't work so we just adjusted the dose on the first until she was back to herself again.

The first two weeks were very hard. Then they got worse. My mother's baby sister lives with her. She got up in the middle of the night, felt sick, passed out , fell in the floor hitting her head on my son's playstation he had taken so he would have something to do while "living at Nannies". He hears her and comes running to find me, I thought he had turned the recliner over when I heard the noise only to find out it was her. She managed to clear a path, she not only took out the playstation she also got a rocking chair too.....her head did. She couldn't get up without passing out, so what to do....CALL 911. She spent over a week in the hospital and we still don't have a definite on what caused all this!!

I'm happy to say they are both home and doing better. We stayed at my mothers almost five weeks. I'm sorry to say we missed the world's best nephew's wedding and I really felt bad since we were able to attend the world's best niece's' weddings.

School has started and now that they have been going almost 2 weeks they are going to be out for the Celebration (www.twhnc.com) I wish we would just start after Labor Day.

G will have a birthday Thursday.....school pics will be the same day :)

It's good to be home :)
