Mondays
The girls got home from PA last night. I missed them a lot!
They had a nice visit. Soren got sculpey clay, a wonderful art set with colored pencils and paints in a blue case and very expensive 14k gold earrings with her birthstone!
Their computer is fixed now too, so I need to get that set up today, in addition to going to the bank and such.
I went to the company holiday party yesterday, which was fun. Got to hang out with some of the girls' families that Emma's on team with and my coworkers. The food was decent too.
Jude is getting to the point where he is a bit more directive with his hands and almost grabbed a glass off of my desk yesterday! I need to watch out for him ;). He's also laughing now, although still no big belly laugh. The girls are so happy to be home and cuddling him again.
Karen reminded me about my dad with her Mormons post. The LDS missionaries apparently came to the assisted living facility where my dad lives and talked to him. They eventually talked him into attending a service or two and the next thing I knew, he was being baptized as a Mormon! Now they want him to be an elder ;). I find it immensely amusing. They must be pretty desperate if they have to convert a 76 yo man who is senile and doesn't really understand what he's doing!
Tom is feeling very worried about his health. I have encouraged him to make an appointment with a different kind of specialist that our family doctor referred him to. He was going to wait until his initial testing was done at the end of December, but I'd rather he move ahead. We have Jude's 2 mo checkup on wednesday and Tom is going along to talk to our doctor at the same time so hopefully she will also encourage him to pursue all avenues.
His dad is maintaining. He might move into a nursing home this week. I hope so! It would be a relief not to have to drive his mom to the hospital every night. It's getting hard to get things done around here w/o Tom's help, and he doesn't have *any* nights at home just to hang out with us.
I just out of the blue told Emma that I am going to start writing again, so I guess it's time ;). I will have to try to carve some time out for myself in which to do that. Maybe on Tuesdays while the girls are at LCG. I would have to force myself not to do chores during that time ;).
Anyway, back to the grind!
