Hi Tracie,
And once again, I feel so much for you. Especially the double whammy on mother's day. So many firsts to come! I know exactly what you are going through with the firsts. Those are tough and it seems no one else understands (I'm sure your girls are going through their own grief too).
I sense in your response a great deal of sadness; I wish I could brighten your day with sunshine, great big hugs and lots of love - oh wait, here it is...Sunshine, here's a hug for you (a great big hug too) and I'm sending you lots of thoughts and love.
Well, we've fallen through the cracks. Although, the Cross Cancer Institute is a world class facilitiy, our medical care in Edm isn't - we are waiting for the surgeon to call and book Don's surgery, and low and behold, he is now on a 3 week vacation...*()*&(*&(*&(^)P*FOIHJf;alsdkhfjaifj) Argggg. I keep remember what you told me in an earlier posting, about how Len fell through the cracks and I keep on top of hubby to make those calls to the Doctors, so that they remember him and they know he is still here and available for surgery. He's doing a good job of it, but it is trying and stressful.
I'm so glad your boyz are doing a great job and Mr. Mouth had better behave. You are getting stronger by the day and one day...I tell ya...one day...BTW, how did your session go with the councellor? I've been curious about that.
I know what you mean about being embarassed by your yard - my sweetie isn't a jack of all trades (and definitely master of none) and I don't know how to garden (even pulling weeds). But each year we hire someone to brighten up our yard a wee bit, and it works. This year, I bought a swing set for our granddaughter, and she loves it. Took about a week to put it together, but it's finally done. But also, our neighbors are worst than us - they are nice and sweet as can be, but I tell ya, oh well, I have bigger issues right now and don't need to focus nor send negative vibes.
Well my dear, my long weekend was good. We went to North/Central BC and did a few hikes. This trip was supposed to be the trip before the big surgery, who knows when that will happen, soon I hope. Don has a second surgeon, so hopefully, this Dr will do the surgery sooner, rather than later...it's so scary with the attitude...please excuse my negativity...need to change that...
One day, Mr. Mouth will actually come and apologize to you for his attitude. That's happened so much to me that I marvel at the fact of how many people were rude to me. It is amazing when they grow up, the young lads and actually realize they shouldn't have treated any human being as bad as they did. I guess, it is thank goodness for his brother, that they are still working for you! That should definately be noted to the older brother! compliments does the heart good. Well, I'm going to go to bed, after a beautiful sunny (sometimes rainy) long weekend, my bed...yes my bed and not a BB or hotel, beckons me. Good Night, hugs Tracie, Deb
