Things have been relatively quiet around here. It has been too hot outside for the kids so they have been staying inside driving each other and me crazy. Friday night I got out of the house and went out Scrapbook shopping with Leah and Deanna. We had a quick dinner and stopped at Maggie Moo's for desert. It was a great evening out shopping. My brother, his friends Shawn and Justin were at the house playing on the XBox when I got back so I managed to actually scrapbook a few pages :o)
Saturday hubby and the guys decided to go play. They went go-carting and some other stuff just to have a fun day. So I had kid duty for the day. The kids and I vegged since it was still so hot and then went to my parents to have dinner with my mom. Sunday was typical of spending it with grandma. She is looking more and more thin. The cancer is eating all that she has and is withering her away. She wears really baggy clothes to hide just how much she has lost but you can always tell by hugging her and it feels like hugging bones. We had a great time with her and she loves to spend the time with all of us as we do with her.
On Monday night we decided to do some running around and wanted to treat grandma to dinner so we stopped by the house and we found that she had bought a rocking chair and tried moving it into the house herself and had passed out and falled off 3 steps and hit her head. She had a bump on the back of her head the size of an egg and refused to let us take her to the emergency room. I called both my aunt and my dad to see what we could do for her. My aunt was out buying a new car and could not make it so my dad came over and we tried again to convince her to go to the hospital and she refused. I ended up spending the night with her and my aunt came over first thing in the morning. She had not improved at all and had gotten really dizzy, my aunt was able to convince her to go to the hospital and they spent all day there. Waited 3 hours to get back to a room and another hour in the room before anyone got to her. They did an EKG, XRays, and a CT Scan and a bunch of bloodwork. Xray showed that she bruised her lung from the fall, bloodwork all came back ok and not sure about the EKG or the CT Scan. They kept her overnight and by the time I had left her at 9 pm they still did not have a room ready for her. Have I mentioned how much I HATE the hospital she went to???? I really, really HATE the hospital she went to!!!!
I have yet to get an update this morning. But am assuming all is ok since no one has called. Hubby had to go out of town for the day unexpectedly to fire a few people that were doing something wrong so I pick him up later tonite and wont make it to see her today. Which really sucks but hopefully she will be home today at some point and I will see her tomorrow.
My mom has been doing traditional Korean dancing for the past couple of years and tomorrow they have a dance at Boeing so I will be going with her to that. Unfortunately her group will not be dancing but the lady that teaches them will do the dancing instead since they are not quite ready to perform the newest dance they are learning. I have seen her dance in the past and its really neat to watch what they do. They have traditional Korean dresses and they put their hair up in the traditional way and dance for people. They have been to many functions over the years and really enjoy what they do. The new dance they are learning is a drum dance and is just awesome to see. We went to see Korean dancers from Korea a couple of years back and it was just exceptional. Hopefully my mom and her group of friends will be just as good and they will get it together soon and perform it soon! That is the extent of my life. Nothing exciting, just busy as usual.
