Update on the family -Jan / Feb 2022 edition 

     I know it's been a while  since I have updated everyone.   We have been trying our best to stay well.  Kaleb is halfway through his 10th grade year at Western Alamance.  He loves it there.  He has a couple of nicknames - Pickle & Hinkdog Jr.  But he misses his buddies at Clover Garden.   He is also halfway through getting his license.  

  Dad has been driving the bus for 22 years now at Western.   He also takes mom, Timmy & Heather to their appointments.  He has been helping work on my yard art while I am work.  He also goes and does the shopping for the family.  

    Timmy is doing good.   He gave us a scare in Nov 2021. He ended up with COVID & his o2 levels dropped.   He was admitted to UNC for at least a week.   He came home with oxygen tanks.  He is doing a little bit better.   

Mom on the other hand is doing okay.  She had her scare in Feb & March.  Between then and October '21- she has had 2 strokes, no signs or symptoms.   If anyone has had someone who has had a stroke.  You know it's like dealing with a Preschooler.  It is like she wants to play around, when we are trying to be serious.  It never works.  She thinks everything is funny & that Dad & I are the energizer bunny.  But it's not true. 

Then there is Heather,  she has gotten even worse.   She swears up & down that she hasn't had a stroke.   But the mri shows  different.   I have had to go & take some IBC papers out on her several times.   She has threatened the whole family.   That has been going on for awhile now.   She gets pissed at the drop of a hat.  It stinks trying to figure out what we need to do.  To get her some help.  She claims that we did this to her.  And that we are the crazy ones.  And she is not the stupid one.  

Then there is me, I trying my hardest to stay sain.  I'm trying not to go crazy.  But I think I'm heading in that direction.   When people ask me how I'm doing?  I lie and tell them, "I'm good!" "I'm okay!"  Which is not the full truth.   But, if I tell them the full truth.   We would be there a long time.   I have basically taken over everything.  Ie: cooking, medicines, paying bills, making sure everyone has everything they need.   I have been planning a baby shower for my sister - Ashley.   She is having a girl.  So, 1st niece, 1st granddaughter,  1st Great granddaughter.   Her name is Makenna Joyce.  Her due date is March 19.  That is her Grandpa Aaron's birthday.   I think she will come early.   She will make her grace be known.  I'm just ready to meet my niece.   

Please forgive me for all this venting.  It just stinks. 

I keep looking at my favorite Bible verse.
