Another blow...

Yesterday we received a call from Travis' mom. Travis' sister had her first dr. appointment for the pregnancy and the baby had no heartbeat. She is now having to decide what to do and I just pray that the decision she makes will help ease her pain.

I have never been in her situation. Praise the Lord and I pray that she can heal from her loss.

I know Travis' family is also taking it hard, and I pray they can heal as well.

Will this month ever end?

Last night at class, I received my mid term. I have to write yet another 6-8 page paper... This one is due next Tuesday... The prof also explained our final paper which is a 10-15 page Lit review, that I have no clue how to do, so that already puts me behind, plus I have idea what topic I would like to choose. Let's just say I bawled the whole way home from class last night.

I just feel like all I am doing is writing papers. I still have the 2 page papers that are due at every class plus my comps... I have 2 comps down and am half way done with #3. I am just super upset because I have taken some vacation time around when my comps are due, but if I use that, I won't have any to use for Travis and I to go on a mini vacation for our 5 year anniversary.

Last night I was so ready to just quit. I am just tired...and stressed. Please can this month be over!

Bittersweet and a good report!

Travis has an appointment today with is PCP to get a referral to the Urologist for the snip. It is so bittersweet. I know we are done with kids, but I will never have another baby...But that also means no more late nights, spit up, diapers, formula!!! The sweet definately out weighs the bitter!

Logan also has his post op appointment yesterday, he is free to be a 3 and 1/2 year old. Like he wasn't running hog wild already! During the surgery they had also removed a mole from his head (figured while he was under) the pathologist said that is was actually a virus, that could come up somewhere else, but we don't have to get it removed. I found that very interesting. Made me wonder how many of our moles are actually something else...

I am still working away on my comps. When I do get the time, I actually get some of the work done! AMAZING!!! But hey July is so almost here!

What a week...

Well, this has been the Freaky Friday of weeks...

I have been at a conference so Travis was home with the boys, I get a call on Monday and my In Laws dog drowned in their pool. That is how I have lost all my childhood dogs, very common when the dog gets old and blind. In the same phone call Travis tells me that his mother is now a casestudy for the unapproved FDA drug, which means they will continue paying for it and she gets to use it!! That is wonderful for us...

Then on Tuesday Travis calls to tell me his sister is pregnant and due in January. My boys will actually have cousins around their age! I thought they would be in elementary school before they had a cousin...

Then last night I get home from the conference and have to go to class, while at class Travis leaves me a voice mail to say his grandma had died. This is Travis' mom's mom. She had been depressed ever since they packed her and his grandpa up and moved them from Arizona to California because his grandpa's alzheimers was getting really bad. She had just lost her motivation. Last week she was in the hospital for stomach pains. Still no clue what was causing them. She was released over the weekend. Yesterday she started having them again and the in home nurse called the ambulance and she died on the way to the hospital.

I had hoped that all the good news about Travis' mom and sister would help to ease her depression, but I guess it didn't.

Please pray for all of them.

Memorial Day

Was alot of fun for us. It had been a year since I had been to visit my family. We took the boys to the sandhills. Which are huge sand dunes with no water. Only in Texas right? The boys also went swimming at Gimmie and Daddo's. They had a blast. Here are two pictures.

I am also typing away on my comps. One down and 5 to go. I am halfway done with #2. I leave tomorrow at the butt crack of dawn for a conference in D.C. and will be back on Tuesday. I am so excited because tomorrow I am meeting up with a friend that I went to Junior and High school with. I haven't seen her in a few years and I can't wait!

Logan starts swimming lessons on Monday so Gimmie is driving here to stay because Travis doesn't get off work early enough to get him to the lessons. It is a jam packed week next week.
