Hi Beth how is the post disney funk. Are you getting wvery thing unpacked and the kids ready to start school?

The post-Disney funk isn't as bad as I thought it would be. And better than previous times. I think because we are so busy getting things ready for school. The first day is Wednesday. I am not ready emotionally for that. I am getting into a pre-winter funk, too, even though fall is usually a time of the year that I like a lot.

My house is an absolute wreck right now, too. I have a ton of things to do. I am just waiting until the kids get off to school and I have my nursery school room/schedule ready for that start.

Oh, and I now have grand jury duty to look forward to. I will start on 9/18. I'll have met the nursery school kids twice (once for orientation and the next day for the first class) before this starts. I'm hoping that I only have to go on the 18th, since I don't teach on Mondays. I don't know what I'll do if I actually get on a jury. Not only will the nursery school kids get off to a rough start, I'll be in court from 9am -5 pm every day, and that will mess with my own kids' schedules, etc.

So anyway, I'm doing pretty well, and keeping busy enough that I haven't had time for the funk. I am worried about forgetting everything by the time I get a chance to sit down and write a trip report.

Also, knowing June's and Caroline's problems certainly puts mine into perspective. I have done a lot of time praying for them, which in turn helps me.

I just wish I knew when we could go again, even if it's two years away.

Thanks for asking!

that you don't get picked for jury duty. Maybe take 15 minutes to your self and right a little bit down each day maybe just the highlights so it will help you remember.

That's a good idea...I tend to take my "me" time here, but I do need to get the highlights down soon.

Good luck with the jury duty!

Update on June...

Just got off the phone with Buddy, June's son. She is in recovery from surgery right now. They put in a mediport and will start chemo soon. I asked him how she was doing and he said, "Not very good." Please keep those prayers and pixie dust flowing her way.

Sending lots of

and to June, her family and the doctors so they make the correct decisions for her correct care.

anyone have any tips to deal with nausea?
I tried a soda and toast so far with no luck.

Ginger candy or ginger capsules have helped me immensely in the past, or try tums or something like that. I hope your nausea goes away soon.

update on grandmother: shes still hang on. able to eat ice chips. this morning she pulled out her central line. shes going hoem tuesday with pt and nurse visits. care givers will take care of her at the house. hospise is being set up. doctors are worried she might asperate at home and get pneumonia. my uncles like that could happen or she could get pneumonia without asperating. doctors said she would probably die of dehidration before starving(if swallowing doesnt get better). the amout of ice chips she is eating wont sustain her and 3 cans of babay a day wont sustan her either. so the next few weeks will let us know.

Sending

Hi Becky,
Have you got all your homework done?

 

[ReAnSt]

Elin - thank you for keeping up with June for us!!

Jennifer - would you like one of my phenergans? Run on over and you can have one - but only one b/c I really need them!!

I would rank my pain around a 7 today - when I get near the end of a pain pill - I KNOW!! I have no appetite - hey - maybe I will lose a few pounds - yes -I am at this point looking for the positives as I see no way that my knee will EVER feel better!!

I do have this really cool ice pack though - it looks like a cooler and there is cold water and ice in it - it has tubes that go to a bandage on my knee and about once a minute pumps ice cold water into a tube system over my knee - it is so awesome!!

Lots of swelling - minimal bruising - lots of pain!!! and I am bored - but making lots of headway on Nicks scrapbook!!

Sending

and . I hope the pain and swelling goes away and it feels much better soon.

Glad to hear you are getting some scrapbooking done.

Well, it's slow here tonight, and I have a movie to watch. So, I'm calling it a night. I'm going to curl up on the couch and watch "Under the Tuscan Sun." Hope it's good. I can only watch "chick flicks" when Alan is out of town. I'll check in with y'all tomorrow. 2 of my kids are fighting bad colds, so I don't know if I'm going to take them to Church tomorrow or not. I just hate to have them around other kids, getting their germs all over the place So if I decide to keep them home, I'll be here. See ya!
