1. Ma had her surgery on Friday here in hometown, she is recovering nicely and my Mom is taking great care of her. She will be driven home, to a house with electricity, tomorrow-ish.
2. I am assuming this is not insider information, if it is– read fast because I will take this one off. My Dad got laid off after working there since I was a sophomore in high-school. I was concerned by this because every other time he has ever changed jobs it has meant a major move….and I want my family close! Also, I so am not ready to be responsible for my grandparents. Dad has already been contacted about some contract work and did get a decent severance package, so maybe he will just be able to be semi-retired and not much will change.
3. JHJ also got laid off and is coming home. I am thrilled because I have missed my brother, but sad that he does not really want to be here. Vegas it is not.
4. Someone has taught The Son to say “I want a sister.” and I am not amused
5. Someone (Gabs) also taught him to say “SHUT UP” and “That is STUPID”. I am pissed.
6. I have had this um…medical thing. This girly medical thing that really made me (and a doctor) think that maybe I had miscarriage–and not have realized that I was even pregnant. I have had two ultrasounds and about a gallon of blood work done and it has been determined that I was not pregnant (which Hallelujah because I was going to be all WTF Trojan!) and have just had some um.. issues. To solve this problem I have been given hormones. Because I needed help on my journey to crazy town. Hormones seem to be helping and it looks like I am going to be able to avoid a D&C. p.s. this has not been caused by extended breastfeeding. No it has not. I said NO. Okay, maybe a little, BUT my OB said that she wishes that every one of her patients could nurse until their baby was 32 months, so *pfffzt*extended nursing for the win.
7. I have had lots of inquires about The Husband since his accident. He is still in physical therapy, and his shoulder still hurts some, but his rib seems to be all better. We have not yet settled with the insurance company for his personal injury claim, we are waiting for him to be well so we know how much to settle for first. Little work car is up and running, but looks flat out ghetto. Oh, well, it is paid off and the money the insurance company gave us for it paid The Husband’s tuition.
8. That’s all I’ve got people. So, what has been going on with you?

Glad to see that everyone is doing well! I hope you can get your “girly” stuff worked out and on the right track. As for #2 and #3, I am in the same boat. I was laid off last month and I had been working at that job for nearly six years. I filed for unemployment and have been looking for a job, but I have not found anything yet. Which in a way is ok because I’ve been home with my baby who is 4 months old. He’s just recently started eating food, so it’s been fun watching him eat new foods! We’re just going to try to re-structure our finances for now, just in case it’s a while before I find a job…which is looking like how it’s going to be.
Sorry to hear about your dad and JHJ. We’ve been lucky around here, though many of my patients are beginning to refuse testing due to lack of funds. Also, there is talk at the clinic of requiring time off. So far, I’ve volunteered to take time off, but I’m getting comp time (read: paid anyway) so it’s like a vacation day. I don’t really see how this saves the clinic money, but whatever.
P.S. When do we get to start discussing the next read it or rant series? I would love to know your feelings on A Lion Among Men. Also, I just finished The Thirteenth Tale and I LOVED it!!
I am sorry you have had so much happen at once! Maybe no one taught the son how to say that and he just wants a little sister. Mine ask for a little sister or a brother sometimes, and I don’t think anyone is teaching them that unless Tark is…
Anyway, I hope things get less eventful and call me sometime…
P.P.S. I am totally hooked on the pioneer woman!!
