Incognito....

So I have been totally out of pocket for a while now. Things have been so hectic in my life and when there is no one here to help you balance the load, it can become so overwhelming, and to find the energy to blog; well that has gone out the window!
So what has been happening in my life in the last few weeks...
Well:
1. My sister was told her cancer was no longer treatable, and she was told a month ago she has about three months. In the last week she traveled to Zion, IL to Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) to be told the same thing. She was actually flown home on a private flight with nurses on board. I am saddened about the upcoming days and what they will hold for my family, especially my 19 year old niece. I worry my sister will suffer and be in pain, and that breaks my heart. I pray she will pass peacefully. I have not talked about this on my blog before because I want to be cautious to not appear to be looking for your sympathy. I only ask for prayers for my sister that she will pass peacefully.
2. My son was in a car accident, on all days - April Fool's Day, but it was no joke! When he called I had been cleaning the house, a real good scrub down so naturally I looked like hell! I ran out to where he was and took care of what needed to be done at that time. In the days ahead we spoke with total loss as the car was not worth what the repairs would be. It was not a bad accident, and no one was hurt. But the car was nine years old and a Pontiac. They are no longer making vehicles and I think that plus the age made the insurance company make it so the repairs were not worth the cost... Just a guess on my part. At the end of the day, we did get him another car, Nissan Pathfinder 1994. Nice car at a good price. So what's done is done!
3. I had a minor same day surgery on Friday. Nothing big, nothing to discuss here. But I was home the same day, resting and back to business today!
4. Seth had his first prom on Saturday and he and his date looked wonderful and they had a great time. Of course, to add to the mix, that was a Sunday afternoon, "hey mom, Brenna wants me to go to prom with her, can I get a tux next week?" kinda deal. Oh well, ya just deal!!

There are a few other "minor" issues these are just the BIG ticket items!

I am glad to be coming to a close with my biology class, and picked up my Pharmacology books last week from the bookstore....

I am trying to get back into a work out routine now that I have had my surgery, so wish me well on that. I need to get summer suit ready!!! And right now, yikes I am no where near that. Not where I wanna be.

I am not complaining, I am just stating the facts! This is the life of any person. Some are married, some are divorced and some are single parents. At the end of the day, when you have someone to rely on but they cannot physically be here, well it puts some kind of vibe around you that makes you annoyed by the absence.

I spent a lot of year as a single mom, dealt okay with what life had to offer and all the ups and downs. Lets be honest, when you have someone in your life whom you trust and rely on, well you don't realize how much you depend on their input on what you are dealing with. I am grateful for iChat... but sometimes it just does not cut the mustard!

I guess I just have to put on a clean pair of BIG GIRL panties every day and deal!!!! RIGHT???

Peace out!
