Today was a very emotional day.

I was moving right along with my daily routine when I received a phone call from my Mom. She was so down. So sad. She had some upsetting news that she needed to share with me. I was surprised she had called, because we were going there for Dinner.... but I guess she didn't want to spoil my Dad's Birthday celebration, so she called me ahead of time.
Seems my Grandfather was diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer's. Very sad. Long story..... and I'm not very close to him, although he's been my "Grandfather" since I was born..... He's different. And I was never able to form a close relationship with him. It was my Grandmother I cried and felt sad for the most. He's been her companion and love, for so long. I worry about her. And I worry about how it will be for her.
But, because her faith is much stronger than most people in the family even know, she says that god wouldn't give her more than she can handle. And what will be, will be. And it will be okay. This woman deserves a medal. I honestly mean that. She is so precious. I have no idea where she draws her inner strength from. I can't even talk about. I had a hard time today. Very emotional.
I worry a lot. I do.

Well...... that's my news for the night.

We went to Mom and Dad's for Dinner. Physically, I wasn't feeling to skippy. Emotionally.... well, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind. And you know what? That's ok. And, I'm alright. :)

Night.....

Sunday July 15 2007

Oh where Oh where have all my blogs gone?!?!?!

lol!!! I haven't had any in a couple of days!!! I have been going CRAZY getting ready for my trip. And, to top it off - Mother nature has arrived, making me feel all sorts of crampy and sluggish. :P
The wonderful part about that is, It's usually on the first day of vacation that it happens! Seriously. My body knows exactly how to time things sometimes. Looks like I'll be cramp free for my trip! Woohoo!!!!! Well, now.... aren't you glad you know about my monthly cycle? lol....

So....... Yesterday. Well, between hubby and myself - there was enough anxiety and tension to go around for anyone who was lacking stress ^..^
We hung in there. lol Took turns having little spells of grouch time. I know I was no bundle of fun to be around. So, I'm not even going to pretend that I was a sweet little princess. *smiles
But, it all worked out. And there was no major "blow out". lol!
We did wind down in the evening and head out for pizza and pool. I won the first game (I think he let me win), and he won the second. And the pizza..... BLEAH! I think they accidentally sent us the wrong pizza. I don't remember ordering a pizza with toppings like, water... and 10 pounds of onions... lolol!!! But, since we had nothing solid to eat all day, you'd of thought the pizza was the best we ever had! Once my stomach was full, I looked at the pizza like it was some sort of alien. :P Ewwwwww... and I was done!!!

Well, I think I am one of the most laid back, patient people I have ever met... BUT, I have to admit - I was a little on edge all day yesterday. Planning this trip is kicking my butt. And, even though I have a really good sense of humor, when I visited www.cruisecritic.com , a site that I am pretty active on, And saw that our Cruise Ship is having "technical difficulties" - I was none to pleased. :( She was scheduled to pull out of NY yesterday at 4:00 p.m.. At 7:00 p.m she was still sitting in NY Harbor. Oh my. And then I read that the ship was not able to travel faster than 20 knots, leaving less time to visit the ports in the Bahamas, and Bermuda..... oh please let this vacation run smooth.... please please please!!!!!

So, today I will pack as if everything is going to be fine. I have been told to worry less, or I will spoil the fun and excitement. It's true. I need to quit stressing. I'm sure everything will be just fine and dandy!

So, happy Sunday you beautiful people! :)

Thank you for being a part of my life.
