Update...crazy days

Sometimes the world turns upside down (ever felt like a gerbil in one of those crazy balls trying to get anywhere, but not able to touch anything?)… Friday night there was a bad thunderstorm and we lost cable and internet until yesterday afternoon (almost 5 days without)…I think my sweetie was going crazier than I was…how do I know? Welllllll….if you catch someone watching a screen full of snow, does that tell you something? On his behalf, tho, it only lasted a few minutes J)

 

Update on the kids…my daughter’s MRI showed that the spots on the scan may be taken care of with medicine….no brain surgery, praise God!!! My granddaughter had a visit to the hospital with 103 temperature. After getting a urine sample (ever heard of a catheter being put in an 8 month old baby? I haven’t!!), they gave her some shots of antibiotic & some medicine. She is getting much better now.  Her medicine makes her sleep more, which relieves some stress from mom.

 

Son #1 is now living with his sister. He is looking for a job and checking out college.  He thinks he needs to get a place so he can take care of his little brother, but everyone is encouraging him to go to school. He may stay with us for a while, but hopefully he will stay with sis because there are a lot more job opportunities near her and school is not far away. You can tell he has changed. He says he has stopped the weed and he even did the dishes without anyone asking him to! WOW! My sweetie is going to try to find him a moped…don’t know how we will be paying for it, but….  Anyway, like my sweetie says, everyone deserves a second chance. Lord knows we gave his brother more than that!

 

Son #2 is still at home and is actually behaving well. He says he is getting a place with a friend of his.  I hope he does. He has been doing extra things around the house for money. Yesterday he cleaned out a room and the shed. It is amazing that we can actually see the floor in the room and walk into the shed! On the other side, he saw someone that had beaten up a friend of his and had broken his jaw, so he had to retaliate, even tho the friend basically asked for it. If he hadn’t done this while swimming at the bull hole in his bare feet and cut his feet (both of them) several places and lost the only pair of shoes he had. Other than the fight, he is doing ok (if I had a smiley with it’s eye’s crossed, I’d put it here).  He still has 22 days til court. I hope he goes!

 

On another side, we also had a water mishap in the spare bathroom. There had been a leak in there for a while that we didn’t know about…my son neglected to say anything about water on the floor and something didn’t seem right.  When he did say something last Sunday, my sweetie fixed the leak under the sink, but not before it did horrible damage to the walls, floor, and cabinet. The insurance did pay for it (thank God!), showing over $1000 damage. It is getting repaired as I type.  New floor, vinyl, cabinet, 2 walls, paint, etc., should be in when I get home…I hope!!  Oh, the little things that are so much fun!!
