Thanks ya'll. The family is healing..... and that's the best thing for them right now.
On another note.... dang I'm busy.
This is my busy time of year at work, with the BIG meeting coming up, I have to do all the "get-ready" stuff... 'cuz it's MY meeting... *blush*... so I'm spending lots of 10+ hour days working on my presentation, getting all my handouts ready, checking out the computer that I'll be using for my presentation, making sure the conference room is available (it is), getting the room ready, calling everyone (about.... a dozen phone calls, and about that many emails)... making sure THEY let other people know about it....
I'll be glad when it's over.... geesh.
AND --- MOM IS COMING NEXT WEEK!!! She and Dad are flying in next Tuesday night, and staying until Saturday. So of course, you know I'm bustin' my butt at home trying to clean like crazy.... just nit-pickin' stuff that I shoulda done before now --- WAAAAAAAY before now --- and stuff that she probably won't say anything about.... details.... but details are what makes it "special"... right?
So I've cleaned the carpet in her room, cleaned out the closet, cleaned out a few drawers for her and dad to use, aired out the room, put new curtains up, fresh bedclothes, added a fan and a nightstand, got all the "equipment" ready for Dad (CD stereo, Phono Stereo, and TV).... rearranged furniture in the room.... geeesh, no wonder I'm tired.
In the middle of everything, my sinuses are acting up again. It's not unusual, we live in a dust bowl.... and there's a burn-ban on right now, too. I do wish it would rain. Anyway, my sinuses got stopped up, I went and got shots yesterday (ran fever for two days first, LOL).... and I lost another 8 pounds! Wooohhoo! I've only got 20 pounds to go! Yay, me! LOL
So.... that's my life... and that's not even all of it, ha! I ordered a scooter, too.... it'll be here in a week or two. Can't wait... 100 MPG... only goes "about" 65km/40mph... but that's enough. Eventually our son will be riding it to school, and that'll be plenty fast.
So even though I'm AWOL... I'm still here in heart. Missin' you all.

Well.... needless to say the last few days have been extremely hectic.
Little sis brought nephew on Friday to stay until Sunday - she ended up with Strep Throat and the Flu on Saturday - thank goodness I had the baby! He's teething, and I can't imagine what pain he'd have to endure if he caught either of those from her. He's already running a low-grade fever daily... I hope he cuts this tooth soon. He's kinda fussy right now, but who can blame him. Poor baby.
Anyway... on Friday my air conditioning/heating (central) unit went OUT - OUT - meaning, as in, no longer working...... and on Saturday I had another one installed. I'd gripe, but I'm just thankful that we had the money to replace it when it went out. Of course, Keith has decided to "wait" on his new shop....
This morning, I came in to work to "catch up a few things"...... ended up on a field excursion for my counterpart because he was on another "adventure"...... at work, LOL..... and man, it's HOT out there. We need rain, and badly. We actually got a small shower Saturday night, but it was just enough to settle the dust.
Mom and Dad are flying in tonight, I have to leave the house around 7... will be carrying son and the baby with me... picking parents up from the airport around 10'ish tonight.... we'll get home sometimes around 1 in the morning..... she swears she'll never do this again..... (I'm driving about 2 hours one way at night).... but I'll be "on defense"..... and on my guard. She needn't worry......
Soooooooo........ I know my notes are short and sweet.... but it's that time of year - harvest! - and I'm only allotted 24 hours in a day, LOL..... and I work at least 20 of them daily..... so if I don't make it to the computer until Mom leaves again, I apologize in advance.
It can't be helped. And I expect to be just as occupied in October, as well. LOL
