Monday blahs and excitement of a little kind

I enjoyed my visit with my friend in Arkansas. Even though it rained off and on every day that I was there, I did manage to get in a few picture taking opportunities.

Benny, my daughter's father in law has been in the hospital going on 4 weeks. Originally he was suppose to be there just 5 days for a double by=pass and a heart valve replacement. But not all good things happened. The original hospital did not met their level of quality standard and his doctor transported him to another hosp. He has been on a vent ever since. Nurses have told me that he isn't getting any worse but then again he is not getting any better. I took two pictures of Jason, the grandson that we share, and the nurses placed the pictures where he can see them. I took some more photos of Jason today. I'll print them out and bring them in to him.

I spent most of today taking care of Jason and Kobe. Kobe is the new dog in the household. I had let him and Buddy out to go potty. Kobe came in and was bleeding all over the place. I found that he had ripped off a part of his pad on the front paw. I called my husband home to come help. Now you may think it silly to call your spouse home from work. However, I needed help. I got Kobe to sit next to me and I place his paw on a cold washrag. I held it there but the paw kept on bleeding. Jason, although only 15 months olds took advantage of my being "grounded" with Kobe. First, the vhs tapes came out of the cabinet. Then the tv got turned off and on and off and on and...well, you get the picture. I also needed to clean up the blood off the kitchen floor and the carpeting. So now you have the picture without my adding more about what was going on. Hence the phone call, "help!"

What's been happening lately

I have been so long away from blogging I should be ashamed of myself! Yet, in defense of myself, yea, one excuse is as good as another, is that I have been busy or gone. I have been babysitting a baby girl who is a friend of my baby grandson. She has been sick with teething or so I thought, but now that I am sick I have second thoughts.

Secondly, I had a funeral in Arkansas. My very, very best friend's mother passed away. So of to Arkansas my husband and I went. We did do a little sightseeing at Moro Bay State Park which is just 20 miles from her apt. We also stopped quite a few times to let me take pictures which you will see in the next posts.

I also have a job interview in San Antonio next Wednesday. So my husband and I took a 3 hour trip, made it into a 4 hour trip with 3 stops. I am so glad we went to find the place because of the highway construction and the building is tucked back away from the street with a bank in front. So it looks like you are turning into the bank parking.

Buddy is also sick with some kind of deep seated cough so he won't be blogging for a few days either.
