No matter how rotten of a day I am having just hearing my grandchildren talk to me makes my day. Last night was so rough as I had to take mom to the ER again, this is the second time in less than three weeks. She was not feeling good and every thought that came to me was that this was going to be really bad once more. I am not ready to put her back in the hosptial again or see her so sick that she does not know or understand what is going on.
So when the doctor came back in to the room and told us that she had a really bad bladder infection we both smiled and made light of it. We got some really funny looks as this is serious. But we explained why we were acting like we were. A dousy of a bladder infection is nothing compared to what was going thru our heads.
To day Jessica called me and we just talked for a while nothing serious just talked. She told me about the kids and what they were doing and I tried to talk to Kari Rose but 1 yr olds really don't talk that much .We had said our good bye and my phone rang again it was Jessica and B wanted to talk to me. I love hearing him talk because he tells me what he is doing. I don't always understand him but it makes me so happy to hear him call me Gromma. I told him I loved him and he said that he brushed his teeth. Then hug the phone up. Jessica called right back to say that when they are Going some where or putting him to bed they tell me they love him so he thought that I was telling him good bye.
I just love my grandbabies so much , they make me so happy and feel so much better. CAnt' wait till they all are in the same state again.

It has been a long day today. I really hate funerals , viewings and such. It adds so much stress to my all ready stressed out life. But when your Aunt passes away what can you do but go and see family. I didn't go to the funeral just to the family viewing and I only stayed a few minutes. I did go to the family dinner after wards. It was strange, the only people I knew were my cousins and their wives. 90% of those who went to the dinner were my cousins children. I have met some of them years ago when they were children but as adults I don't know any of them.
My brother came to take my Mom to the family viewing. What a shock!!! the things he comes to surprise me. He did 'nt come when Mom was in the hospital for surgery. Yes he called her once but out of the BLUE he comes today of all days. What a waste of time he didn't even stay to visit our mother. He and his wife stayed long enough to take Mom to the viewing and as soon as Mom was tired and ready to go home that was it. He stayed for just over a hour and it takes him close to three hours to get here. You would think he would spend more time with MOm but NOT HIM.
I know that I should get over it and let bygones be byegones but I can't. I have spent most of last year taking care of my MOm while she was ill. He would not come when I needed some support emotionally but then I should have known that he does not have emotions. I was told several times that I should just expect the worse. Quote" You know that Mom will not live forever so you might as well stop thinking that she is going to get better. She most likely will not make it so why stress over it. Everyone dies some time so get used to it." We had words last year while Mom was in the hosptial in SLC. Accourding to him I lie about every thing when it comes to Mom's care. I know that I need to let it go and just accept him for who he is.
I am so tired to night but yet I can't fall alseep. I don't know if it is because of my achey legs, hips and back or just wound too tight.
Some fun news Jayden cut his first tooth yesterday evening. Alicia said that it is really sharp and small. He is growing up so fast just like the other two do. It seems like it was yesterday that I held my first grandson instead of being close to three yrs.
Well I am going to try to sleep now as I have lots to do today , it is suposed to snow today and Monday a big storm again. I hope that it does snow big time. I want to get this smog out of the air soon.

First time blogging
This is my first blog and my first time writing in it. Now I just need some thing to blog about.
This year 2008 was to be a really good year. So far it has not been the best, my 80 yr old mother has been quite ill. She just had surgery 2 weeks ago today . Her gall bladder was gangerous and had to come out. There for a few days Mom had a tough time. She got "roudy" as she says. She ripped out her IV's and was really out of it. Thankfully my daughters were there to talk to her and help her find where normal was. I have had to watch her not be herself before and I could not take seeing her like this. So the girls went to visit her. She has now been home for a week and is doing better. She still will not eat more than a few tesasponns of any thing. But she is drinking her boost so she is getting some food value.
