The big "A"....

Well well well, once again I am very late in the game and waaaaaay behind with my blogging. I just can't keep up with much these days. Spring break is almost here and I feel like I am losing control. I have 3 midterms this week and it although I am home most of the time, I can't study because the laundry and dishes are taunting me. You think I am kidding?

Today Corey Haim died of an overdose - he is an actor from my time period I guess you could say. He is an actor from the 80's and well...I was 13 in 1986 so it puts me in that time category I suppose. Another thing is that Zack's uncle is dying and probably will die soon due this disease and cancer the hospital neglected to inform him about - because he couldn't pay for an out of pocket follow-up visit. What the hell? Are you kidding me...oops, we forgot to tell you that your cancer has attached itself to your spinal cord and that is why you have been falling and had incontinence. So, needless to say, the hospital is taking VERY good care of him now.

Also, I went to see my dad yesterday and well, let's just say he wasn't looking too hot. My dad drinks. My dad has been drinking for as long as I have been alive and for those that don't know...that is 36 years. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C many years ago and did some treatments that were unsuccessful. I couldn't stop staring at his legs... and ironic thing is - he had been drinking. I know the swelling is because his liver is probably functioning at about 30%, but I will never know, I believe, until it is too late. He was walking holding Avery and he watched Noah run around - it was like one of those pretty commercials you see with the sun, the grass and family... My dad just looked so much weaker than I remember. The little girl in me just wanted to see him as this strong man, the one that could fix my car, or fix anything for that matter. I wanted to be a child so that I could see him that way, not like I did yesterday. I know I have sad a many hateful things about my dad and I know I have held on way too long to many situations from my childhood but seriously, I love my dad with all my heart.

He is ornery, stubborn, pushy, and critical to say the least..but there are so many things I have learned form him. He is so hard working and I loves my children sooo much. He is smart and handy, he knows a lot about a lot....

Well, I need to take AJ to the doctor so I must go but I do want to finish this later.

For your pleasure I have added a picture of the dishes so you will know I am not lying...

be back soon!

btw..kids are good, animals are good, life is good, hectic-but good!
