For This Season

{m.i.a. continued}

After a busy weekend in Fayetteville, a sweet baby shower, a very ill grandmother  who is hospitalized - I am just now sitting down after spending some time with the boys.  Now, it is just the computer and I.  We have a very long date night planned.   Kind-of like a blind date; I'm not quite so certain it will like me or even be nice to me.  Now, if it will just not be in the fighting mood as it has been the last two weeks!!!!   Just one more week of being busy beyond belief and then all should settle down. Did I seriously just type that? 

But, I am about to light a Cinnamon Cider (my fav, Tonya!) candle.  So, that will help drown out the fact the boys are fighting in the background.   Olfactory trumps auditory in my little world. Or, at least I try to convince myself.   Now, where is that candle lighter?

Just to give my sweet Aunt an update and to declare to the world that I will get to visit Oklahoma City, fairly soon.  How long have I been planning this?  I would call you right now, but, it's easier to walk away from the keyboard than to ask you to hold on while I discipline, run interference, or remove a spiderman wanna-be from a wall.  It's just easier that way. :)  Our phone conversations are always interrupted from something going on here.  And, then, in the quiet of my constant driving, I forget until they are loading.  But, you would get on to me for driving and talking anyway.  

I even took some snapshots of the boys for you tonight.  Total snapshots - no posing and actually  very few clothes on the little one.  You know, he peels everything off to his undies once he hits the door.   But, will have to upload those later as I have a long night of medical reviews ahead of me. Work has hit an intense level right now.  I'm beyond drowning right now. I am typing a condensed version of 601 pages of Nurses Notes.  Who taught nurses how to write anyway?  Apparently no one. 

But, I'm sitting here thinking about you and wishing I was there and not here at this keyboard.  The coffee I started drinking at 6:43 pm would be much more enjoyable with you than with this medical record.    And, with the onslaught of new assignments and deadlines from the firm, if I survive the next several weeks.....if nothing else opens up.....we may just have to make a day trip. I miss you and I love you!  Give the girls kisses from us!

{so sad}

Our sweet dog of 11+ years is on the way to the Veterinarian's office & I have a horrible feeling he won't be coming home.   He is definitely about to be in good hands, but I think something is terribly wrong.  Ohhhh.....this is the hard part of all the joy they bring.   

Update:  it looks like he may be okay!  I am in shock, but so thankful!  He looks terrible in comparison to his usual running self, but, hopefully with alot of extra attention, calories, TLC and the medication - he'll bounce back.  :)

To say it's been busier than busy is an understatement.  The next four weeks will be very intense in many areas for our little family - so the posts may be few and far between.   And, an onslaught of increased migraines have added themselves in a very unwelcomed manner to the mix.    Just keep us in your prayers!
