I’m Taking the Day Off

Just a few updates:
- Dad is awake and I was able to speak to him on the phone this morning. I called the ICU for an update and his nurse passed the phone to me. It was wonderful to hear his voice, and he still sounds congested due to the surgery on his sinuses. He will be in ICU for today and will be moved to his regular room tomorrow, mid-morning, where he will recuperate for at least five days. Looks like he won’t be home until the end of the week.
- Our family reunion went well yesterday. I think everyone had a great time, despite the fact that our fearless leader was not present. My aunts and uncles — each and everyone of them and their spouses — were so wonderful. They took charge even when I was drifting off into space. I’m forever grateful.
- Today, I believe I’m coming down with a cold, or I just suffer really bad allergies. Because I’m afraid it’s a cold, I’m staying away from the hospital. The last thing my dad needs is to catch an illness while recovering from brain surgery. It’s breaking my heart, but if it turns out to be only allergies, I’m going to visit him tomorrow.
- I’m having a Party Lite candle show tomorrow and I’m afraid no one will come because of all the chaos that’s happened the last week. I wanted to cancel, but I totally forgot I was having it until this morning. Kind of late, right? This is what happens when the mind is focused on other things.
- I’m so exhausted that I overslept this morning and missed both masses at church. I’m feeling very guilty about this.
- In exactly one month, my little boy will be turning four years old.
- Here’s how I feel about that:

- I’m so tired, I’m taking the rest of the day off. I need to sleep. Happy Sunday, y’all.

I just got home after a long and trying day. I’m utterly exhausted and I can barely keep my head up and eyes open, but I know many of you are on pins and needles and I wanted to make sure I came over to update on Dad’s surgery.

When I was a little girl, if something scary happened, I would go to my Daddy and tell him what I was afraid of. He would let me curl up in his lap and he’d tell me everything would be okay, that he would protect me. As he comforted me, and spok

I’ll be spending my day at the hospital. My father was injured in a minor accident, but it’s scary just the same. He was changing a tire on his truck when the jack slipped, causing the vehicle to fall on his face. After being transferred

Forks and French Fries: A Dinner Time Fit
Date: 08/09/08 3:21pm
Before I was pregnant, Doug and I enjoyed going out to dinner at least once a week. As I look back on it now, that’s a lot of money spent on dining out. But we were young and childless and one of our favorite ways to spend some of that disposabl

I hadn’t been able to wear my wedding ring in almost a year. It fits comfortably again, and this makes me very happy.
I know that 15 pounds in less than three weeks is sort of drastic, but I’m not using drastic meas

Never before in my life have I been more upset over football. This situation? Pisses me off, ten-fold.
