Still Rolling Along

It's been a while. I've been working odd hours and we've been dealing with the hospital and getting the kids back in school. I think I'm tired. Looking forward to this 3 day weekend although we have plans both Friday and Saturday. Toby Keith's Friday nite for Joe's birthday, hospital on Saturday, and football at Chance's dad's on Saturday nite. Eat your heart out Phil ... we view on a 53 inch high definition TV and have lots of snacks to go with. I think of you everytime we are over there. I remember watching football at Moms' when I was little and all you guys yelling at the TV. (Smile)

I'm still dealing with many emotions. Lots of stuff going on with work - won't bore you with the details. Sometimes I feel like I work with high school kids. People spend so much time causing trauma over things that are just too petty to get all worked up over. I really don't know what is going to make me truly happy. I like my benefits but I dream of something different. Not sure what...just ... I dunno. Was looking forward to recruiting after all but it seems we may not get to as much as we thought. I will push to do so tho. And on a brighter note, I might actually get my office with a door back and I will still be able to see out my giant window I sit next to now. Best of both worlds.

Karin is back on an upswing. We almost lost her about 3 or 4 times. We FINALLY got her out of that ICU. Didn't think that was ever going to happen. She is in the Norman Specialty Hospital for her rehabilitation - she was moved on Monday. We are still worried about her. We just simply don't know if she will return to her normal self. Hopefully that will come with time. Her head is pretty banged up. Chance said that today she thinks she is at her mother's house. She also told the nurses that her grandchildren attend school right there in that building. She knows who we are but she is not really in touch with reality just yet. He is worried she may have to be put in a home. I told him it is still too early to worry about that. They told us she would have a lot of healing to do. I plan to get some of our new vacation pictures together and frame them. I want her to have them in her room so she will feel more like she is at home. She actually called Chance on the phone today. He didn't even recognize her voice it had been so long since he's been able to talk to her.

Tristan is doing well in school. I am so very pleased. He got a red ticket on the second day so we were really worried then. He got grounded that nite, and ever since he's done well. No more red tickets. He has had some trouble clinging to Chance's legs but other than that, I think he is participating. He got to be the leader one day and he thought that was way cool. His old school never let him do that. He was pumped. He likes everything but writing his name. He brought home his first fundraiser. We have had some trouble with our daycare lady and the school. I am worried we may lose her. I so don't want him to have to change another routine. It's too long to go into at this time, but I have been very stressed about it.

OK so my husband is watching Sponge Bob right now. No, Tristan is not in here - he's asleep. It's 11:15 at nite. Help me.

I don't have any update on Tina. I think of her every day. Have to make a point to get with her this weekend. She's got me all worked up over her situation.

I loved Sara's blog entry about parenthood. I have many things to say on that subject but I am too tired tonite. That will be my next entry. I can so relate. Maybe I will get to comment tomorrow nite. Oh and I like the picture video. I will be posting some pics with that too. Hope I get some quiet time this weekend.

Well I feel like going to bed and reading a bit. Hope all is well with everyone.
