...and it's over

The auction, that it. And "he" did not show up. So, I didn't have to make a true decision, I guess, on how to treat him. Everyone seemed to get through the day alright, with or without medication, so that was a plus.

News

...no, not aobut Tyler...

This news is about the man who impregnated the woman who gave birth to what ended up being, well, me. He is forcing my aunts to have an auction of my grandfather's possessions - something my grandfather absolutely did not want - so he could get his "share" sooner. We've kind of resolved ourselves to this, and it's fast approaching. However, I found out today that he will evidently BE there. And I have to admit, I don't know that I'm ready to face him. I'm really torn about how to treat him. I know what I should do, but I don't know if I'm a big enough person to actually DO that.

Just puttin' it out there...

Happy St Patrick's Day

Hi there!

Well, things have begun to calm down a bit around here!

Allen is feeling better, although he'll remain off work for another few weeks. Tyler is still having pain/nausea/etc. but we can't find anything physically wrong with him - but he DID make it through an entire week of school last week! Not doing so well THIS week, but we'll keep trying. He's having a CAT scan this week, as well as meeting with a counselor. Ryan simply doesn't like the bubble wrap suit I insist he wear before leaving the house - we've had enough stuff happen to family members! And finally, the dog is fine...lol!

Back to the hospital

...but THIS time, Allen called me and said he was in the ER and was having a problem with what turned out to be his gall bladder!

Soooooo...he had, as the doctor put it, "urgent" surgery on an infected, inflamed, and stone-filled gall bladder. And then he had some minor complications, so had to stay an extra day...

He's home now, thankfully!

Feb. 22

Thank you for your prayers regarding Tyler. He's doing better. We had an overnight hospital stay in order to get some testing done, but he's home and doing better. He's started gaining a little weight - which is terrific! - but he still has a bit of a worrisome thing that we're still having a few tests run for.

Just got back from our annual women's retreat today. WOW! It was so great! We had rookies and vets and if they're like me, they were able to take plenty away from the weekend! We had a new location this year, but I think it's now our new home - everyone LOVED it, and it was much nicer than what we thought was our "ideal" place. I'll confess I was worried. The only real disadvantage was that we couldn't all stay in the same building, but we'll work through that. The Wild Women of Wongo had a cabin and the Pluck and Dye Crew had another one. We made it work! Ha!

The speakers were wonderful - thank you sisters! The worship was great - thanks Jeanna! The food was terrific - thanks Bridget and Gail! The fellowship was meaningful - thanks everyone! The revelations were, well, interesting to say the least!

Have a great week - I need sleep!!
