Bizarre News

This morning I had to drop the cuties at my mom's, b/c I had the privelege of having more lab work done today....complete with a lovely purple bruise :-). So...on my way home I had a message from an old college friend telling me her father had died. I cried...that is 1 thing I know is coming eventually...and one thing that I think is devastating, especially at our age. Then I called my mom to tell her I was on my way home and heard some more bizarre news. My brother and sister in law are in New Orleans this week for a little vacation (their children are staying with my mom)...Anyway! My mom tells me y brother had an accident. I'm thinking oh they must have rented a car, but he's okay since she talked to him. I was not prepared for what she old me...

This morning while removing or placing things in the hotel safe hi pinky finger on his right hand (his dominant hand) got stuck in the hotel safe. He couldn't open the safe so he pulled his finger out...He is very tiny boned and his fingers are long, but thin...and well there was alot of blood and they had to remove part of his pinkie. He said he hasn't looked at it and doesn't want to talk about it. He has pain meds (obviosuly) and antibiotics. That would be kinda devastating and I think I would have to mourn the loss of my finger....with tears. I know there are worse things in life, but seriously that would tough.

The rest of the day wasn't too bad. My sweet girl still doesn't look good to me and she is extrordinarily fussy. We enjoyed seeing my nieces and nephews and playing...I will upload some photos later (maybe tomorrow).

1 last thing my sister (who I have been a little tiny bit mad at...long story) is not doing well. She looks like she is depressed, she acts like she is and she is at a job where they are laying the employees off 1 week at a time (without pay)....then having them back. They all take turns once a month. She is having a garage sale this weekend, b/c she said she is flat broke. Part if me worries and wants to help the other part of me thinks there is another adult in the house who will not get even a part time job anywhere ( a grocery store anything) to bring in a little...Said adult will not keep the 5 yr old after school...which means they are spending $500/month on after school care. I think someone in that household needs to step up and help. I can gaurantee if we were in that position I would go to work at McDonalds if I had to...to help out. Obviously I would try to be part time so I could then keep my children when they get out of school. Sorry, I didn't mean to rant or "gossip." I just don't get it...if my sister reads this...I'm sorry there is no defending him in that scenario....I will give you more opinion if you want it. Yes, my husband agrees with me....my husband would work 2 or 3 jobs in order to take care of us....that is what you do. His dad bagged groceries and all sorts of things to take care of them....because that is what you do to be a responsible husband and father.

Anyway, I need to get to bed...my husband will be back in the morning! Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of our 1st date. I will be working on a special post for the occasion :-)!
