Carry on my wayward son

Heard from my mom last night that dad was doing better.
She emailed:
"Dad is definitely better tonight. He got an antibiotic today which will help alot. He will never be a lot better than he is right now, but at least he can breathe better when he doesn't try to do much and isn't so "out of it" as he was for the last few days. He even ate a slice of pizza for supper and went to QuickWay to get a newspaper (first time he has been out of the house since Wednesday).

I am not going to church tomorrow night, but if he keeps improving I will go back Sunday. John M (that's my exhub. Both he and my dad are named John) has been a great help to us. He talked to Dr.**** who gave Dad the medicine without seeing him, something they wouldn't do for me. John M checked Dad out and said his oxygen machine needed to be a bit higher. He wasn't getting as much oxygen as he is suppose to be getting. John M adjusted the machine for him. Anyway, maybe the worst is over for now."

So...we'll wait and see. Like she said...He will never be a lot better than he is now. It could be a long haul like this.
Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts.

We got the cookies delivered to school yesterday, but still have a mountain of them piled up in the living room. I'll have to tag and bag them tonight for delivery tomorrow. I'm only mailing out 2 sets this year, and only delivering 1 set to Hot Springs I think...so it won't be bad!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I was at school from 7am -7:15pm last night (class, tutoring, book fair.)
Came home and made blueberry bread and brownies for the Community Coffee today...but I think the bread might be a little burned around the edges so...
I need to go throw together a banana pudding real quick and get it in the fridge to chill before we leave for school.

Today:
school...working on the JA scrapbook page, church, choir practice, tagging and bagging cookies.

Thursday: school...delivering cookies, mailing scrapbook page.

Friday: school...girl scout meeting

Saturday: cookie sale at Walmart

I think that's all that's going on. But you know how life goes..I'm sure someone will remind me of another place I'm suppose to be!

Ok..guess I better start rousing the Mollymonster. That's never fun. She's so not a morning person!



Y'all have a great day!

I'm so glad your Dad is doing better. I wondered if John could do anything about getting him some meds...YAY for him. I hope he continues to improve.

Deliver those cookies, girl. LOL

Peace, Love & Art,

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
