Long Time, No Blog...

It has been craziness around here. We are broke and that is usually when family emergencies occur, am I right?? Well, Mike is in CA for the weekend, he gets home Sunday and leaves Monday to go back to CA for NTC at Ft Irwin for 30 days. So I am already living as if he is gone. I am looking at the calender and this is a LONG pay period...we are broke as of Monday when my mortgage payment goes through, so That goodness school is out this week, so next week I won't really need to drive anywhere. Sports are over as of today (ALLELUIA!!!) I love that my kids play sports! One of them is so into it, it is ridiculous. The Other was into it until his first practice, since then it is like pulling teeth to get him to go. But We are stubborn parents and make our kids finish what they start. We invested about $300 in that kid and the equipment for Football, so he had to attend every practice and every game. So today is the last games for both boys and I am so happy that I won't have to be Supermom anymore. I would drive Downtown to Memorial Park for Football, and then up to Cotton Wood park on the North side of town or back down to El Pomar....That has just been recently too. Until about 2 weeks ago, Nate had Wrestling as well, luckily those were during the week, except for that final tournament. So I can rest, Maybe I will start getting my energy back now. I have been drained from this pregnancy and being supermom to my kids. I have been making them take on a few more chores around the house like they have to put their laundry away, pick weeds....fun stuff like that.
My Midwife really said I need to take it down another notch, she told me to stop working as a CNA, cause it was gonna put me on bed rest ( I kinda was working like I wasn't prego, I can't let my patients go without, I was lifting old men into their wheel chairs and stuff like that) So I quit working, I am now, not resting enough, thus the tiredness....She is afraid that I am becoming Anemic again too. I was with Jake and it wore me out completely. So my appointment is on Tuesday, hopefully all my blood work will come back OK again. I get to endure the lovely Glucose Test, which she says I can eat before...I remember starving to death the morning of my last 2 tests and the first time I caved in and ate cereal and I had to go back for the second test!! So I may eat some breakfast but nothing after, I am going at noon.
OK, Now that I have rambled.....Today is Gma's funeral. I am sad I can't be there, but I think I am better off, I would be an emotional wreck. Mike has gotten to spend time with all his friends, which I know he needed desperately. We assume he will be going to Iraq in the next year, hopefully after Xmas. All our friends and family will be there, and they are having a wake afterwards to be a BBQ, since that was what Gma loved, all the family BB Q's!! They are always a blast! At one, I remember Gma getting a Lap Dance from an almost naked Scotty. But that was back when we called him Scotty 2 hotty, and he was the karate master....it would be scary to get one from him now, he kinda looks like the old stoner guy on That 70's Show. SO, I know Gma will be there in spirit, sitting in the yard talking trash with everyone. We all loved her so much. And that is apparent in all the people that are coming together today to celebrate her. I mean, All our friends from home called her Gma too. Some even cried as if it was there Gma!
So RIP Gma Gerry, we love you and miss you.


The End...
