What's new?



Yey my daughter got a job! Yey! Ok so I really didn't want her to go into "this" field and I was like do you really wanna wipe butts for a living? So I did everything possible to discourage her and as usual she is stubborn, sometimes in a good way. Ok so I'm a little rough on her, but I feel she needs me for that and I don't want to let her down either way. I have my beliefs that if life sucks it's your own fault and you make your own happiness too. So she took a course and got her certification for her CNA and I'm proud of her and she is proud too! Anyhoo-that was the big news this week-
Angelina says my mom is a certified nurs is -is sis tint! too funny she is 4 1/2 years old already time is moving too fast- I see her grow and feel so bad and miss her it hurts my soul. But she loves me and this family and she is loved back even more than she will ever know.
Mike my husbands brother is in Thailand 23 hour flight, "Mr. International Traveler" forgot till this morning his flight was this long till I actually thought a while about it.

Been so appreciative of my family lately, it's funny when you change your perspective you can change your heart. It's so true about those 8 words. There is always time to make things better.

Told my dad I was changing my name because he's always, "Cara, Cara" a thousand times a day. So he asked my what I was going to change it too, I said I'm not telling you, then I said Bartholomule so now he calls me that when I don't answer right away. He's too much, mom now is much too much- She told dad not to feed Biggie from his plate every night and every night she reminds him, so this one night she tells dad if you feed him again I'm going to throw something at you! And so she picks up this statue globe thing made out of metal and wood it weighs about 3 lbs and it lands at dads feet! Ah! The girl who stays with them a few nights a week freaked out! Funny stuff- Took them to the podiatrist together luckily Ron came too for backup help, mom had the doctor in hysterics laughing, dad was quiet just smiled. He loves his wife, I feel bad for him cuz he get's frusterated he can't do a few things at the same time and still wants to be "with" her.

Mom has been repeating herself a little more than usual, sleeping a little more too.

Oh yeah, so I was driving down this road I frequent on the way back from getting my iced coffee around noon (then I sometimes pick up lunch too) and I noticed a guy wheeling his chair across this busy street that cars go 50 mph- so I thought that's weird so I remembered a nursing home being across from the direction he was just at. So after being shocked I turn around and pull into the parking lot and a girl is talking to him, So I asked him if he was from across the street the name of the home, and this lady is with him, he doesn't talk clearly she tells me he had a stroke and usually is escorted across the street with someone (liar) she claimed to be his wife (didn't look like it) poor soul had one shoe on, he looked scraggley and I came so close to call the cops which now I know I should have. But I did call the agency I use and told as many office people I could because they have clients there as well. Next time I will call the police and the news people, believe it. One other reason I don't like nursing homes.

You know your awareness is something like mini wake up calls that gifts to treasure each an every moment a little more than the last.

So the game plan is to make more time for this less time for that make the best of all of it.
