August 20, 2006


This has been a tough week. Mother has really had a hard time which makes it hard on the rest of us. Monday morning, she fell getting out of bed. She bruised the whole side of her face really bad! Jeannie went up there to sit with her at lunch and said her face was swollen so badly that she couldn't even open her eye. I went up there on Wednesday and yesterday and it is still really bruised. Yesterday, she had a pretty good day - the only one this week, I think. Gerry and Pam went up to visit yesterday before Addy and I went up there. Today, Mom called and said that Charlie had been up to see her this morning. Gerry called later and said Mom had told him the same thing. I don't know if Charlie was really here or not - he didn't call anyone if he was really here.
Roberta called today and asked if they could do a Psych evaluation on Mom and I gave them permission to do so. I don't really know if we need it or not, since she is not taking meds anymore except for comfort. I wish they could get her anxiety and depression under control. I just don't know what we're going to do, if they can't.
I have an appointment in the morning at Galt Foundation. It's a temporary agency that is contracted with the State. Hopefully, I will be able to start working for them soon. I was hoping to hear something from the City of Choctaw, but haven't heard anything yet. I did check their website and they are no longer taking apps for the jobs I applied for. I sent them a followup letter, hoping to hear something that way.
I've had Addyson this weekend, while Michael and Elizabeth went to Missouri. Yesterday was Levi's birthday party, so we went to their house for awhile. We had a good time. Toni had to leave early in order to get her house cleaned, she said, because Lisa is moving in with her today. I guess she is leaving her boyfriend. It was good to see Toni and Blake. We don't get to see them enough!

I'm not sure what time Elizabeth will be here to get Addy. It's been fun, but I always am tired when the kids leave. I think because I don't sleep as well when the kids are here. I think I sleep lighter because I'm afraid I won't hear them if they need me.
We've done so much to the house these last couple of months. It's looking so much better. We still need to paint the main bathroom, but maybe I'll have time to do that this week. Jody painted the living room and kitchen, laid new floor in the living room and hallway. It looks great. He has really done a great job!
My flower beds look really bad! I haven't worked in them this year like I should have. We also have not watered because we're having some trouble with the well. I'm not sure it's going to last much longer. We've asked Jim and Sheila to check on getting another one done, so there's not so much stress on this one. I hope if they're able to get one done, this one will last at least another year. Since I've been off work, this is really not the right time for us to put one in - money, money, money!
Oh well, hopefully I'll get back to work soon. I'm ready, I guess. I have enjoyed being at home - keeping house, cooking again and being your typical housewife. Oh well, nothing lasts forever, right?!
