Kind of took over my Mom’s blog for a few weeks and we all know I sort of suck at updating this one regularly so updating two was wayyy out of the realm of possibility for me.
Feel like I have been in a constant state of movement since the beginning of May.
Mom is doing much better, finished the tarceva and taking a little break before going back to MD Anderson. She has lost her hair but I think each day she is coping with that just a little better. Even made a couple of baseball games this weekend, donning one of her fabulous new hats.
My office moved, as in all of the crap that I have accumulated in ten years in my little 8-5 nook had to be moved to a new office, to a new building in a new zip code. Whew, I am organized, some say to a fault but let me say that little life skill helped and hurt me. Helped in that I knew what and where everything was before/during and after the move. Hurt in that my stomach was in knots the whole time in fear that one little thing had been forgotten. Lists, it’s all about the lists and they once again saved my ass and my day. While everyone else was digging through boxes of crap (ie important corporate stuff) I was setting up my coordinating storage containers and lining my binders in an eye appealing way, also had time to shop for a great new zebra rug for my office floor and a fabulous glass desk. It is fun to watch someone walk into what the expect to be a stuffy corporate accountants office and instead enter my creative cleverly concealed stuffy accountants office. I will try and get some pics, and post, it’s not exactly perfect but I’m getting there.
Cale went to Florida for a couple of weeks, Road tripped with 3 of the baseball guys that graduated this year. They convinced me that he had such a sucky spring that he needed a “get away”. I agreed but he flew home on Thursday because he had to take the ACT on Saturday. Cale has flown several times alone so I wasn’t really worried. But late afternoon on Thursday we realized he was NOT going to make his connecting flight in Atlanta, ..
Following texts:
Cale: we are sitting on the runway in Atlanta but there is an emergency landing for another flight not sure when I am going to get off here, my next flight leaves in 8 minutes.
ME: shit
Cale: landing in terminal A connecting flight from terminal B
ME: RUN, and run fast maybe you’ll make it.
Cale: I can’t RUN
Me: bahaha I fogot
Since the knee surgery Cale can’t run, he missed his flight but on his own rescheduled a direct flight to OKC from Atlanta. This is why I have always made my kids be independent, not because I don’t love them, but because I love them so much that I want them to have confidence that any problem that comes up is solve-able if they just think.
Rylie went to camp in Minnesota. Pretty much all I got from this is, it was fun but Minnesota is cold, the lakes in Minnesota are cold and the water in Minnesota smells like blood…..but I think she had fun anyway.
Conner had to stay close to town for baseball but managed a quick trip to Dallas last Monday. He and some friends went down for the Third Eye Blind concert, stayed Monday night, shopped Tuesday then came home. Conner is afraid of ghosts and always thinks places are haunted. So his first report to me on Tuesday morning was that he didn’t sleep well, too much stuff bumping and banging in the hotel. He then finds out that I quote “the guy who shot the guy who shot JFK” had a tunnel there so he thinks it was that guy haunting the place.
I have spent hours cruising blogs for inspiration, and have found plenty. I plan to share some of it in the next week or so just in case it inspires you.
Getting tired tonight, but in my blog and flicker hopping I have found some images that completely grab me, every time I see one I put it in my inspiration folder. Last week I took a few of my fav photo’s together and created a new back ground for my computer. I love it, for now although I see changing it frequently just to keep it fresh. And it beats the hell out of the ugly crap that is a standard option with windows.
that’s all I’ve got for tonight but my mind is full of other stuff I need to say so I’ll be back.
