Hello all!!!
I cannot believe it is September already. We had one nice day on the 1st and crappy weather ever since. At least we aren't still in OK where we'd have to deal with the aftermath of all these hurricanes.
Forgot to mention that the day of Rueben's IEP was also picture day for the boys. There's a bit of a problem with Rueben's, but the studio said that they'll send his next week. Otherwise, they look like normal pics of the boys. Mason doesn't smile until after he sees the flash, Tyler is a HUMONGO ham with a huge grin on his face and dried blood on his nose from one of his many falls. I don't think I have a school pic of him yet that he doesn't have a cut, blood, stitches or other trauma on his face. This year will be the first year that Rueben will NOT have a bruise on his forehead, but he has no smile so I'm trying to decide if I want them retaken or not.
Got a surprise call from one of my best friends husbands last week. Him and the husband of another friend of mine were going to be here in Omaha Labor Day and wanted to see us. So me and my horrible knee went walking all over the zoo with 3 kids, hubby and friends. It didn't dawn on me until we were leaving that I was the only girl in the group.....it's ok. I didn't cry when my friends husbands said good bye. It was pretty close though. I miss my friends so much and hope that we can run back down to OK to see them soon.
Mason's 7 day virus is going on 12 days now. Doc still thinks he's getting over it. She did see him this am to have 2 stitches removed from his finger. Long story there. But she said he's healing well and she isn't concerned about how much he's sleeping lately as long as his high fever doesn't come back. I just wish I could figure him out. He does so love pre-school and while I haven't done anything more fun than one lunch with a friend...I have found plenty to do in his absence....just no fun. RRRGGGG.
Now that September is here, it is time for our annual trek to Illinois. This year will be different on so many levels. It's the first September that I'm going home after mom died. I"m excited because I"m going home, but sad that she's not there all rolled into one. I'm sure there wil be some form of sleep deprivation involved from either the excitement or the sadness. At least it's not my reunion year as that was last year. I am looking forward to seeing some high school chums.
Just pray safe travels for us. Randy is my stronghold and has been through this whole business with mom. It seems azs if my family has FINALLY accepted him, it's only been 10 years, and we always have a family dinner and stuff now. Him and gramma swap jokes and he always has Aunt K smiling about something. Trust me, that's quite a feat!
I've slowed down a bit on my quilting. I'm so tired at night and during the day I seem to be busy on other stuff. I've misplaced my patriotic one for the son in Iraq. I am still working on the mystery, but it has turned into the bane of my existence. I promised Randy that I wouldn't give this one away, as I give away all or most of my quilts....but I promise I won't be looking at this sucker very often. Maybe I'll put it on the bottom of the quilt shelf..or the bottom layer of quilts on our bed. I'll use it...as long as I won't have to look at it. Triangles still stink and I'll be glad when it's done.
Rueben has had one bad day since school started. I was up at the schoolhouse 2 hours on Wednesday just trying to calm the staff down. We troubleshooted Rueben's issues from that day and we have a plan of action as well for when it happens again. I'm hoping to have his meds changed by the end of this month. I want to see him concentrating more, and smiling again. I think he'll have an easier time in school if he can focus better.
That's all for now. Update me on how you are too. If you've commented and you can't see them...they may have ended up in my spam comments. A lot seem to get over there. But I do receive them all. I look forward to posting when we get back from Illinois!
