Day 6 {Your day}

Day 6 {Your day}

**i made this post on time but forgot to publish it - silly me**

Today was a long day..
I got up - got Austin up..
took him to school..

came back home...
packed up some food..
and headed over to the hospital..
My niece Ashlea
[actally Waynes cousin but the age difference makes her more like a niece]
is in the hospital here in Dallas...
Ashlea was diagnosed with RA about a year ago
She is only 26..
in January - she started having trouble breathing...
They changed her meds....
didnt help...
steadily got worse....

This past weekend they were going to do a lung biopsy...
which would have required her to be put on life support...
They did a lung scope first and when they did
they perforated her lung (i think that is the term)
when then in turn caused BOTH lungs to collapse
and internal bleeding...

They then transferred her to UT Southwestern Medical Center here in Dallas
She was on a respirator when Wayne and I went on Saturday..
They took her off the respirator day before yesterday....
which of course is wearing her out...
She needs the respirator to rest..
She needs to rest to heal...
but they need to run tests while she is breathing "normally"

It's never ending....

Her mom, Wayne's aunt, is there with her and wont be leaving until Ashlea leaves the hospital...
Her friend Tiffany is there also - she wont be leaving either...

I took them some good home cooked food...
a big container of beans and hamburger meat
with cornbread muffins...
&
a pasta salad with grilled chicken..
enough to last them a couple days so they dont have to live off cafeteria food....

Ashlea's friend Tiffany has started a CaringBridge site to keep everyone updated...
Go by and check it out...

Ashlea Chapman - CaringBridge

Leave her a note and let her know you are thinking of her and praying for her...

The rest of my day? pretty normal...

laundry...dishes...carpool...cooking dinner...more laundry....more dishes...
watched some TV on my dvr...
STILL watching TV on my dvr :-)

long time no see....

30 It has been a while..

How have ya been?

ME?

meh......

Since I was last here - I was managing yet another one of my brothers restaurants....

He sold it..

New owners kept me on salary...

For 3 months....

Then they laid me off - telling me they couldnt afford to pay me and the manager they brought in...

Ok....

Move on down the road...

Started getting the girls ready to go off to college....

Brother calls me and says - hey sis can you help run the restaurant out in ?

SURE....

Do that for a month...

Bubba sells that one too...

New owner wants to keep me and niece...

FOR $10/hr....

LMAO - that is sooo funny.....

NOT....

so not going to drive 40 minutes one way each day - AND work weekends AND work nights...

FOR $10/hr...

So niece and I quit...

I am currently looking for yet another job.... :)

but thats ok....

Sure has been quiet in our house.....

I am kind of at a loss without all the hubbub in my house that we usually have...

It's kinda freaking me out...

I think I am going to do the whole 30 days of posts thing that Bernadette and Brandi are both participating in...

Of course I will be starting like 19 days late? lmao...thats me - better late than never :)

Maybe that will get me back to blogging again - I sure have missed it - ;-)

Sunday Morning Silence

Well guess who forgot to turn her clock back?

Where were all my reminders? :)

Wayne had to work today and I am sure when he got up this morning he thought he was late..lol

I got up about 20 minutes after he left to let Alex out to potty.... and the clock on the dvr said it was 7:30 am...So he was on time :)

It has been a busy forgetful misunderstanding weekend for me :)

Remember I said yesterday was Chrissy and Gavins bday party?

Well I had the girls hurrying up to get the house picked up and I was cleaning out my closet for a garage sale...Everything had to be done by 2:30....I picked Austin up from Matts at 10:30...stopped at a garage sale and CLEANED up..I got 4 skirts, 4 pairs of jeans, 8 tops, 2 dresses, 3 pairs of shorts and a pair of capris for $26...all very close to brand new and alot still with tags on them :) (thats what prompted me to clean out my closet..lol..) Stopped and picked up a gift for each kiddo with wrapping paper...Came home and told the girls to get a move on! They had friends coming over to watch scary movies last night...after we got back from the party...

Called my brother to let him know that I would be heading over to his house around 2 just in case Diana needed any help getting set up...and he said "well sis that would be great but you do realize that the party is tomorrow right?" uh oh....lol....

I went back to cleaning out my closet and the girls went back to cleaning the house...lol...

So now I need to get everyone up for church...they will not be happy when they realize that I woke them up in time for Sunday School...lol....all the clocks in the house reset themselves EXCEPT the one on the microwave...they all dont care for Sunday School...they would rather just go to church....

Some of you who read my journal on AOL will remember Kadie's boyfriend Jordan last year...they have remained friends (for the most part) since their breakup..of course they did have some really ugly spots but all in all - still friends....Jordan and her parents came to her bday party....2 weeks ago...His mother and I are friends....Well Jordan came over last night to watch movies...as a matter of fact? Jordan and Jazmin were the only two who came...the other 3 were grounded, at a relatives and had no gas in the car....Jazmins parents picked her up around 11:30...I took Jordan home around 12:30....

At 12:20 I walked into the living room to tell them it was time for boys to go home? Kadie and Jordan were on the couch all hugged up with his arm around her and her leaning into him all sweet like....and when we dropped him off? He kissed her bye....Of course I have no other info...lol...cause Im the mom....lol...Cassey might be able to tell me something later....lol...if Kadie tells her....lol...

I am off to get these children AND Cassey up for church...Wayne is at work all day....have bday party to go to this afternoon....and still havent wrapped the presents....need a shower....

It never ends does it?

Have a GREAT SUNDAY!
