I have been really bad at posting lately. I really do not have much of an excuse other than I just have not wanted to post. We have decided to put the kids into public school for the first time so I have been getting all their paperwork together, physicals done and just general stuff. School starts this Thursday for our school district so it will be interesting to go from 4 kids down to 1. All the kids have a clean bill of health. My youngest is 75% in his height and in his weight. He is a good solid boy! The doctor says he is perfectly proportioned so not worried about his weight since he is not chubby. My oldest is 25% in his height and 50% in his weight. I am hoping that he will have a good growth spurt and grow into the chubbiness he has seemed to have gotten. The doctor is not worried about it and says he is still a good healthy weight so I guess I will not worry about it right now. The girls are both on the skinny side but V is gaining weight like she should be. She lost a lot while she was in the hospital and has been gaining a couple pounds a month since then.
My grandma is still not doing good. She is really weak and gets dizzy really easily. She sleeps a lot of her time away lately. I call her everyday to check on her and generally end up talking to one of my aunts since grandma is normally sleeping when I call. She is eating a little more than she has been and seems to be improving a little at a time.
Hubby finally got back from his business trip on Thursday night at 10:30 so I was able to go spend some time with my grandma over the weekend. Hubby was supposed to be there til Friday and was going to try and come home Wednesday but something got screwed up with his ticket and they were going to charge him to change his flight. So he was just going to stay til Friday but because of everything that happened with the terrorist plot being foiled and the airline delays being so long they decided to just keep their rental car and come back on Thursday night. In the time it would have taken them to get through everything at the airport and the flight they could have been home by driving, so that's what they did.
Friday I ended up sick, throwing up and just feeling horrible so I spent the day in bed. I am not sure if it was a bug or stress of everything getting to me or a combination of both. I am thinking probably a combination of both. Being a single mother for 4 days and having my grandma as sick as she is really took a toll on me. I was up a lot of Friday night with bad stomach cramps and throwing up again so I slept quite a bit on Saturday and finally felt good enough that evening to go visit with my grandma. I stayed away from her and because she is on a lot of antibiotics already am hoping that she is safe in case I had any kind of infection.
Saturday was also my brothers 18th birthday. I cannot believe that my baby brother is 18, it just amazes me!! He had a rather shitty birthday. Back in January he and his friends were caught by some undercover cops with alcohol and were told that they would be in touch. Well time went by and he expected to get a MIP ( minor in possession) ticket but never did. Then out of the blue on Saturday 2 cops show up at my parents to arrest him for this charge from way back when. So now he has to go to court next month. But when hubby and I were talking to him last night he was never read his miranda rights. They cuffed him, took him to jail, and booked him but was never told his miranda rights. So I am sure that will affect all of this some how.
Sunday I spent more time with my grandma and then hubby, kids and I took my brother out to dinner for his birthday. That is just about the extent of my life. I have more to post, but will wait since I am still pissy about it. Greed is a horrible thing, that is all I will say at the moment!
