Ahh the Crazy life I lead.

As I sit here typing this my mom is sleeping in a hospital bed.  Princeton, Il is where we are at.  Mom and I drove out to Iowa to celebrate the graduation of Zach. We had a great time visiting and I am even thinking of bringing Sarah and Noah back in the summer. Zach showed me the dairy farm that he works at, and Hannah almost killed me when she saw me. She ran so fast and tackled me. I enjoyed getting to see Susan and meeting Perry.  Titus is growing too fast and Susan parents are very special people.  The few days I was with them made me realize just how much I miss them.  On the way home yesterday, Mom started to feel like she couldn't catch her breath.  I pulled over and she did a breathing treatment.  It really didn't seem to help but I thought if we stopped and slept she would be better in the am.  Well at 4am mom woke me and said she couldn't breath.  I decided to have the hotel call an ambulance to bring her to the closest hospital.  The staff here at Perry memorial Hospital has been great.  Knowing we are so far from home they have gone out of thier way to be helpful.  I was on my way back home early because Noah has to go into the hospital tomorrow for a scope.  I feel like crap because I am not there.  Noah has been having problems with his stomach for a little over a year now and the Doctor sent him to a specialist.  We have done blood tests and found out he is border line allergic to tomatoes, milk, and wheat.  Since Cyliac runs in our family we had that checked as well.  (that came back negative)  Tomorrow he will be in the hospital at 8am getting his scope done.  He is taking this like a trooper.  He knows this has to be done and hasn't complained at all. 
Anyway, Mom is now in the hospital for "a few days" per the er doctor.  She has been getting breathing treatments that help a little but not alot. When she moves she coughs and the breathing problems start all over again.
The next graduation is Kathalina's in June.  I am taking Noah, mom, grandma.  Paul is bringing Maclaine, Suri, and Jamie.  Chuckie says he isn't sure yet. Hopefully he can get there.  We all haven't been together at the same time since my wedding 17 years ago.  Time flies.
Well, I am going to get going so I can make a few calls.  I hope to post more later. Atleast pictures.

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

How can my heart hurt anymore? What do I have to learn to stop the heart ache?

How can we say goodbye to someone that means the world to you? How do you let them go? The pain and hurt that we feel is so unreal. Grandma left this earth November 17, 2019. 9 months, and 15 days after Mom left.  Two women that helped to mold me into who I am today, left me.  They are no longer here to ask questions of, or laugh with, learn of the past from. They left. The pain of losing them will never leave me.  How could it?! They taught me to be the women I am today.  Grandma was someone who always excepted me. Always showed me how to love others. Listen to others.  Care for others.  Really, just to be there for others when I am needed.  The pain I feel is indescribable.  I have never had my heart broken like this before.  Never had to face anything so hard.  You see, I was so Blessed when it came to losing people I loved.  The first person I loved, that I remember losing, was my Grandfather, George. G randad was someone ...

Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem. Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all. Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to ...
