Just an update on Dad. He is still in ICU but doing much, much better. Hope he will get to come home soon. Mom does too as she is exhausted from going back and forth to the hospital. Weather has dried out a little here. Hot and sunny:) Gage's pumpkins plants are full of blooms. Actually, the new blooms are bigger than the plants themselves. All of the sunflowers are standing well over a foot now. Bill and Robert have gone to spend the day with Bills mom and his brother. They will be bringing the ATV and the seadoo home hopefully. Two new avon customers. Have to get the rest of the brochures out today on my way home from work...

It's finally Friday and for that I am glad. Dad is headed back to surgery this morning. The blood has stopped flowing into his right leg so they have to work on it some more. There is still a risk of heart attack since he had one with his last surgery - just 13 days ago. I snapped a photo of him with my cell phone last night as I left the hospital. In my eyes,he looked so tired and I worried so much about this surgery but looking at the picture -- he looks wonderful and I feel much better about the outcome.

Suppose to be awfully hot today. I'm just so thankful it's Friday. Susan hopes to get new tires on her car tomorrow. I hope that is the problem with it. It's been nice spending extra time with her as we share my car but it's hard on me too with all of the extra driving . Her too, I'm sure.

Avon came in yesterday for C-13. I got some beautiful jewelry and an ANEW skin care set. My face felt wonderful after using it last night and this morning.

Big deal this weekend to get all of the grand opening books out for C-14. All orders get 15% off. I have a list of places to take them. Spoke to the kids dad and he said we could leave some in the laundry rooms of the apartment complex he lives and works at.

The sun is finally shining today. Day upon Day of rain. Naturally, everything is beautiful and green and I am thankful for that. But, it will be nice to dry out a little.

Susan's car is on the blink again, permanently this time I'm afraid. Had to leave the house at 4:15 this morning to drive her to work. Drove back home and slept about 1 hour more before getting up and getting myself ready for work. Have to take my lunch hour and pick her up from work, we come back to my work, she leaves with my car and then comes back and picks me up at 6 when I get off. Really having to struggle to hold things together mentally. It's been a rough couple of weeks.

Dad is doing better but today is day 13 in the hospital. He may get released today, we haven't heard for sure yet.

Work is kinda blah once more. I'm so burned out. Hope it gets better.

Trials and Tribulations

This has definately been a week or more filled with trials and tribulations. Dad is in the hospital. Went in a week ago for some vascular surgery in his legs. He's still in PCU with problems with his kidneys. Had a scare with my hubby, Bill day before yesterday. Thought he had a stroke so an ambulance ride to the hospital and hour upon hour in the E/R -- he has bells palsey. Better than a stroke but upsetting nonetheless. The weather -- rain, rain and more rain. The stepping stones coming off of our back deck to the driveway actually seemed to move with my steps this morning.

Avon is going great. On my Grand Opening campaign this go round. Special discount on all orders.... Will be putting out most of the brochures on Saturday. Sent a postcard annoucing the grand opening to many friends and got a new customer this morning.

Haven't been able to post in awhile. Dad has been in the hospital. No blood moving to his legs so they had to open up one of the arteries and detour blood to the other leg. He had a heart attack after surgery and a problem with his kidneys. He's improving and has been moved after a full week in ICU.

Weather remains wet here in Virginia. Haven't had a chance to check on Gage's pumpkin patch or my sunflowers. I bought fertilizer and some bug deterrent for them and hope to apply that this weekend. Speaking of this weekend,,,

2 family reunions to attend. One on Saturday and one on Sunday. Also working in the transport of mom to and from the hospital. Should be a busy, busy weekend.

Have to finish up the Campaign 13 avon orders etc.. My Grand Opening campaign will be Campaign 14. All orders will receive a 15% discount to celebrate :)
