More Life With The Girls
July 10, 2008 by admin
Okay – so I’ve been "batching" oficially for a full week now. Just me and the "girls". While it hasn’t been too bad I think all three of us are ready for The mom’s return. I think that is projected for some time late tomorrow. They are leaving the Left Coast in a few hours and have rooms booked at Mesquite, NV for later tonite. By my calculations thats about 10 – 11 hour drive left for tomorrow normally. If they proceed like they apparently did on the way out – probably 14 or so. 
Life around the homestead has been relatively non- eventful. As was written in Ryans latest post – Tony had an accident on his motorcycle. Praise God he is pretty okay —- he could still use a few prayers for a full repair and healing of his hand. Sounds like some torn ligaments and bone chips to take care of in surgery procedure in the next few days. Thinking of you Tony – God Bless you.
The girls have been GOOD! I almost hate to say that – I have one more night & day with them but I am really pleased so far. Tuesday I left at 7 AM and didn’t get back to feed or let them out until after 5 PM and ………. I could not find a single sign of an accident – #1 or #2! I am really proud of them. And they are sleeping very well also – only up once or twice a night! Knock on wood.
BGE is half a year old and I am 125 halfs a year old! Actually approaching 126 rapidly! Sounds good for her but not for me! I think I’ll stick with counting just once a year. Wow Lynda – you just celebrated your 120th half year birthday!
My mom is feeling poorly. Been pretty much bedridden the past couple of days. Her back, which hurts her continually, is apparently unbearable. She finally persevered in contacting her Doc today and they are making some meds adjustments to try to help her with the pain. God bless her – she just wants not to hurt so bad. If the meds adjustments don’t help we’ll get her in next week per docs orders but it is apparently arthritis which is apparently uncureable so it doesn’t bear well for her i fear. She can use your prayers too!
Well – I have to go put heat on my eye. Yah ….. me too! Not to be outdone by everyone else I woke up with a really swollen & ugly left eye this morning. It started yesterday and progressed through the night. Got into the eye doc about 10:30 this morning and apparently have a pretty advanced infection emanating from either an ingrown hair or a foreign hair. he is guessing foreign since hair doesent generally grow where this is at in the eye socket AND since i generally have a hell of a time growing hair anywhere! Ha ….. beat you to it so no comments necessary. Anyway – the perscription for cure is very interesting: twice a day if possible a heat pack on the eye for 15 -20 minutes. 4 times a day I wash my eye out (yep) with Johnsons "no tears" baby shampoo (yep – you and me BGE); then I put this ointment in my eye 4 times a day. This ointment is a real treat – little bitty tube like super glue comes in – $127 for the tube by the way – only $23 to me cause i have good insurance thank you State of Wyoming. Anyway – this ointment blurrs vision for a pretty long period of time (the noon swag for over an hour). Sheesh! What next? AND – if i am guessing correctly knowing my environment – I believe that if we could ever recover that little hair folicle and run some DNA or something we would see either Sopie or Maggies name all over it! So – thanks girls i think!
I need to go see if Maggie fixed me any dinner. Any bets?
