<br />
playing the piano for primary<br />
singing songs with the nursery<br />
having kids in primary and nursery come up and say hi---even an 11 yr old boy put his arm around me and said hi----not too cool for school<br />
playing the organ for church---been 8 months since I did that---and I like to open it up---and they let me<br />
facetiming with my grandkids---even for non-sensical conversations<br />
cute nephews---adults---that come and visit<br />
sleeping in<br />
making a date with my grandboys to see Artie's Playhouse shows...and to eat superhero snow cones at Buds<br />
<br />
there is so much to be sad about.....but not today.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13464222251599480034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493877770929435976.post-67020143029880543502014-01-27T17:40:00.001-06:002014-01-27T17:41:10.181-06:00blurred lines...when your body is dealing with pain--- life becomes a blur---<br />
<br />
I remember crying---- that I couldn't shower---that I couldn't go to the bathroom and get up off the toilet by myself---tmi I know----I was scared to move in case I lose another extremity---I just knew everyday was a day of healing and I had to wait it out....glad I took pictures<br />
<br />
between November 9-dec 10ish----blurred lines----I remember friends coming to visit---I remember playing with the grands----leah tells me we went to see Frozen----I don't remember the movie AT ALL! I remember sitting in the theater...... thanksgiving came and went in a blur---- never did eat dessert----jasmine and leah cooked----2nd year in a row I missed out on thanksgiving---one of my favorites!<br />
<br />
got my cast on my wrist right before thanksgiving---HALLELUJAH! what a difference that was! and my stitches came out of my foot---<br />
<br />
the weather made it easy to stay at home---cold spells coming thru----sitting in the wheelchair I would kind of cave in on myself---so it wasn't comfortable for very long---<br />
<br />
time heals all wounds---especially physical ones with incisions<br />

....so I'm getting around good on my scooter----sure---I carefully get to the edge of my bed---nature calls and all---get on my scooter---its 3 a.m.---head towards the powder room---done, done and done----head back to bed----SQUIRREL---hmmm---what is that? I musta dropped something (cant even remember what it was now!) and so, of course----I lean over to pick it up......<br />
<br />
LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN---FALLING DOWN---FALLING DOWN! I go over---breaking my fall with my left wrist....breaking my left wrist---2 bones of my left wrist.<br />
<br />
picture this----non-weight bearing right foot---broken wrist---3 a.m.---calling to david to wake him up---but he cant get me up---NON WEIGHT BEARING----I'm crying and moaning---- so he calls the ambulance and off we go----I barely remember anything except crying at how much it hurt....and hurt it did.<br />
<br />
this was on Saturday, Nov 9----saw my podiatrist Monday---he just looked at me and said "I am so sorry"....david made a thousand phone calls to find an orthopedic dr that could see me right away---found dr khubchandani----saw him Tuesday----surgery on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
I no longer feel human.<br />
<br />
jasmine and her kids clear their calendar and come up to care for me---david has a trial----<br />

<br />
but not til November---because I am SO important and necessary that the world would stop revolving if I was out for 8 weeks---(truly---there are only 3 of us at work and I'm the only chick---so it would have been a problem)----so I beasted thru til a break in our shows----the holidays....it was the silliest decision EVER---I was in pain every day---toe on fire kinda pain....but that's how important I am.<br />
<br />
October 29th, 2013---I went in under the knife---how ready was I, you ask? ready enough that even tho dear hubby was out of town for a trial, I was still willing to go in---so leah and boys came up to take care of me.<br />
<br />
surgery went well--came home---stayed up until 5 am the next day! felt great---non-weight bearing boot---foot raised---see the dr in 2 weeks for stitches out...yay! I have very little memory of the next few days---pain kicked in---but the fam took good care of me...my sister Eden came up from Austin (3 hr drive) and visited for a few hours and then drove home---just to check on me! my mom sent me a box of all things purple---one to open each day for two weeks! my brother and sister sent me a MASSIVE box of chocolate and magazines....I have a great family.<br />

so....david retired yesterday after 27 years working for the state of texas....and started today at his new job as executive director for <span style="color: orange;">Computers for the Blind</span>----a small non-profit agency based in Richardson (just north of Dallas). He goes into the 'office' every 2 weeks for a board of directors meeting...... he will work from home in the office we have set up in a corner of our bedroom. He also continues with his<strong><em><u><span style="color: purple;"> ExpertsonBlindness</span></u></em></strong> consulting/expert witness business---- so he has 2 part-time jobs....both from home.... i'm sure we'll be fine.....really----we'll be great</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime;"><strong><em><u>Day 1</u></em></strong></span>.....david comes home from meeting with 2 attorneys....eats some chicken wings....changes clothes.... I made spaghetti for dinner---so I ate spaghetti....apparently we have things to still work out....like talking about what is for dinner and what was NOT....and that its NOT okay to talk the entire time I am watching<strong><em><u><strike> Dance Moms</strike></u></em></strong> but I have to be quiet during a <span style="font-size: x-large;">rerun</span> of <strike><u><em><strong>Persons of Interest</strong></em></u></strike>---yes---even after 33 years we still are working out the kinks.</div>

<br />
and we've always had big cars---big cars that don't fit lengthwise in a garage---or heightwise---so it was easy to just toss stuff in the garage---since the cars wouldn't go in there anyway.<br />
<br />
and then the kids started leaving---and we cleaned out their bedrooms----but kept their stuff---in the garage----<br />
<br />
then we got the convertible.....and that little girl needs to be in a garage.<br />
<br />
so every day i would go thru 2 boxes----stuff from weddings 5 years ago--- and trash or donate it. the only clothes in there now are my winter clothes. suitcases are upstairs in the attic----we have 20 empty plastic buckets ready for leah to use to put their stuff in storage----we had a shredded ping pong table (we like ping pong table---but i broke the table)---- but I knew there was light at the end of a tunnel----a very long crowded tunnel<br />
<br />
then we got into a tiff-----and i went to the theater to see a show----alone<br />

<br />
for 33 years our garage has been a joke---one year we asked our sons in law to clean it out for our present----but that mostly meant rearrange-----<br />

august was spent performing "A Wrinkle in Time"---my first non-musical performance since high school.....I got to play the part of Mrs. Whatsit------which means I got to play me----an animated me that sparkled with glitter and fell off benches and slid down ramps..... I met some amazing people that I got to learn from----as always----I love the process.<br />
<br />
august was stinkin hot----but leah and joe came and worked so hard to help our backyard be greener and lusher----and it is----<br />
<br />
august was a couple of Dancing Moose Shows<br />
<br />
September----david retired.<br />
<br />
WHAT THE WHAT THE WHAT THE???????!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
David was offered a position as executive director for Computers For the Blind----a small non-profit that takes donated computers and refurbishes them and sends them out internationally to visually-impaired people.....he'll do 20 hrs a week working at home----going into the office for board meetings in Dallas every few weeks. His job is to grow the company and its branding.....get more professionals on the advisory board.....so he is done working with the state-----he has worked for the state of texas for 28 years! this whole decision thing happened in about 4 days----altho we had been talking about leaving the state job (not leave texas) for awhile. Now, David may be old enough to retire----but I all of a sudden become the token wife----cause aint NO way i'm old enough!<br />
<br />
twice the husband----half the money<br />
<br />
i'm still doing Dancing Moose---and David still has 7 cases he is working on---with 2 trials coming up....<br />
<br />
we are cleaning out the garage to put the convertible in there----we 've never been able to put a car in the garage----but it is actually happening!<br />
<br />
leah and her family are going to be living with us from dec-june ----joe is done with medical school classes and just needs to wait to find out where they are going for residency-----so knowing that we eat different---and our fridge was not big enough for all of us-----we downgraded (well-----in size)---<br />

the nelson's fridge is perfectly happy in the garage! well---we really didn't ask her if she was happy----but bet she's happy she is about to be filled with all sorts of yummy goodness!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meredith is doing okay----lots of change----i'm not sure about all that---but i'm certainly seeing the hand of God in my ability to be calm, in opportunities that are opening and blessings that are being afforded..... probably just jinxed myself huh.+</div>

My nephew Michael got married to Amanda Saul in Quincy, Il on July 20, 2013----so what better reason for a road trip for the aunts! Pyper flew in from California, Eden drove up from Austin---and we three piled into our car and drove 12 hours to Quincy. We sang everything from Eminem to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to Carrie Underwood to Michael Jackson----had a great time together. Our first dinner there was Ruby Tuesday----a lot of emotional history for me at Ruby Tuesday---but I pushed thru it and had some amazing chicken noodle soup!<br />

luke(21) and marc dancing together at the wedding----um---yeah<br />
<br />
it was a great weekend---we then turned around and drove to Kansas City and dropped Pyper off at the airport and eden and I cruised back to fort worth---and she hopped in her car and drove home to Lago Vista (near Austin).<br />
<br />
What a blessing that, having been siblings for 44-63 years---we really enjoy being together---the only ones that werent there (other than spouses) was My oldest brother Ace and his wife Judy---and they were missed---Judy always adds to the conversation with her infectious laugh.<br />

for within my heart is the song of love<br />
ill sing i'll love i'll do<br />
<br />
<br />
I do have a lot to be grateful for<br />
<br />
health....well...other than my foot<br />
family...well other than that whole ace being gone thing<br />
family close....well...if you consider 4 hrs away close<br />
wisdom of ages....as I get older I see with different eyes...well...maybe I just need new glasses<br />
<br />
I have a calling that I love....primary piano player----I get to play with octaves and embellish the written music---- <br />
I have a job that I love.... Ethics Musical Comedy<br />
I have family that I love regardless----and loves me regardless----<br />
wisdom of ages-----I really do see things better---broader----softer<br />
I have a husband that is the salt of the world----adds all the flavor in my life.<br />
<br />
i'm very grateful.<br />

Molly just had her baby----still has blocked us all on fb----but did text me a picture----mixed messages much? I get reports that she is fine.<br />
<br />
Oklahoma and Texas have had some bad luck in weather and tragic deaths---but i'm okay (too soon?)<br />
<br />
my hair is still uncut<br />
<br />
i'm having MAJOR HORRIFIC OPEN GAPING WOUND OFF MY FOOT FOR A WEEK IN A BOOT FOR LIKE 8-12 WEEKS NO WORK surgery the first week of November---- on my foot---my 2nd toe----and my plantar plate----it has a tear----so I can milk this for another 4-6 months.<br />

<br />
meanwhile I have to wear this splint---and ugly orthopedic shoes----and use a topical analgesic compound that can cause FATAL RASHES (at least that's what the warning label said---also dizziness, diarrhea or constipation---apparently i'm going to be fine for all that) to kill the pain at night.<br />

who raised you to plan every child rushing to me with theirs arms outstretched saying :granma!<br />
who raised to you feed your children healthy food in the car so they would have to go to the bathroom?<br />
who ever raised you sure loved you........she must be so proud<br />
certainly she graduated early to show you how easily it can be done and to keep one focus always-----god only gives us one really cool gift<br />
she certainly feels that if there were no men left around----we would be okay---except for killing bugs....that would be porter.<br />
really----run off to a vegas weekend!??????really??????<br />
shopping----certainly you were raised to know that the male of the population likes color---be it on toes or nails or hair or clothing<br />
who raised you to put together a family home evening program of epic proportions---ah Grandpa Ace came to you in a dream.<br />
<br />
no one starved<br />
no one got left behind<br />
random strangers/family members cleaned random bums===we hope they were part of our group<br />
florida is wonderful....will I ever drive in 2 cars with 6 little ones to get there? gosh---I don't think so.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13464222251599480034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493877770929435976.post-37910238088130637822013-06-08T23:52:00.000-05:002013-06-09T00:22:50.685-05:00major catchup from last fall<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody>

<li>not gonna perm it----I like healthy hair</li>
<li>the color is mine---and its a beautiful blonde with white (lol) highlights</li>
<li>I like pulling it up in braids or loose ponytails</li>
<li>I hate sweating around my hairline</li>
<li>its getting hot here</li>
<li>i'm using hair chalk---quirky and fun---which is perfect</li>
<li>I really miss my pixie cut---but then I'd be called 'sir' at driveups</li>
<li>having long hair is a 'quirky' cut for me---because people are used to my short hair</li>
</ul>
