Another week
This past week has been lets say hellish. It all started last Saturday when we got a phone call from Rs best friends wife.....telling me his grandfather had passed away that morning. This is someone who has been like a grandfather to R, and a surrogate great grandfather to the girls. He was 88 years old and had been suffering from cancer for a while. We found out in June that they weren't going to give him any further treatment and to let him enjoy the things he loved... like his Manhattan drinks. We last saw them at his great granddaughters christening in August. It sucks that life gets so busy. I know R wanted to stop over a few times while on duty but it would of been after grandpop was already in bed.
My mom informed that one of her best friends (my brother and I basically grew up over her house) who was being treated for breast cancer and was responding well to treatment...had recently learned that the cancer spread to her lungs. and her daughter (that is my brothers age...35 almost 36) found a lump in her breast that they probably wouldn't of found if her mom wasn't going through all this...cause they recommend a baseline mammo at 40. So now my mom wants me to get mine done ASAP, given her history. not really looking forward to getting the boobies squished, but it has to be done.
Now onto happier things....school is going well have my final tomorrow for this past mod. Shouldn't be too hard, and really I should be studying for it right now but obviously am not. The girls are doing fantastic. L cracks me up the things that she says are priceless....that other night I told her its a good thing she is so cute, her reply I not cute I big girl! she drew on Ks new furniture and door with and orange crayon today....thank god for the magic eraser (best invention ever!) K is growing up too damn fast, there is a huge difference in her vocabulary since she has been in school and she is doing really well there. Then you have days like today where the sassiness level was so high that I couldn't wait until bed time.
ok I think that is long enough for now, and I think need to go to bed I'll study at work tomorrow (not like there is anything going on there yet anyway..... I cannot wait to be done there!)
nighty night
