Seriously???

Ok, I would like to post a question to the people that schedule crisis in my life.  W.T.F.???

As if last week wasn’t enough I get a phone call Sunday night from the girlfriend of the Donor telling me that he is in the hospital with a tumor (I’m sorry, but all I hear is Ahnold saying that word when I say it.  I actually said it like that to the surgeon…..nice) that is on a major organ of which he has two so they are removing said organ tomorrow.  I am not married to the Donor any longer, but I have his youngest and we have maintained a very good relationship since I asked him to leave we dissolved our marriage.

Anyway, the girlfriend is the mother of a sitter that used to live with me and the Donor.  Keep up!!!!  (I will post about that later).  I love this woman and if she was to become wife number three to the Donor I would be in hog heaven.  My child calls her Nana – how SWEET would it be to actually like the person that your child would spend time with while away from you??

Oh look!!  A chicken!!!  Sorry – my ADD just kicked in. 

I am taking the child to the hospital tonight to visit and absolutely against his wishes.  I have told him what to expect such as the beeping machine and the IVs, but other than that (and his dad bringin’ sexy back in that gown) his dad is totally fine and looks normal, etc.  We will stay for 3 minutes or 3 hours whatever the child would like to do. 

I spent EIGHT hours there yesterday.  My child has two siblings that are older than he is.  They were my stepkids for years and I didn’t want them there alone when my Donor (I guess he’s their Donor too…) was wheeled away for the bone and CT scans to make sure there aren’t issues in other places besides said organ and his head. 

I guess that I am a good person.  I mean I burned a day off at work to sit in a hospital room with my ex stepchildren and their future stepmom (PLEASE!!!) to stare at my ex all day as he snored like a freight train.  Wow – I forgot how much I detested and loathed loved and missed that particular feature of his make and model. 

Surgery is supposed to be tomorrow – more later. 

PS – I got a txt from the child at the bus stop this morning apologizing for cheating (something about cutting and pasting) admitting that he knew it was wrong and doesn’t know why he did it.  The next txt says “I’m sorry and I love you”.  Please refer to the second “sentence” of this post for what I have been thinking all day and will have to continue thinking until he gets home. 

What a week

Dad had surgery yesterday – Mom was supposed to have surgery today.  His for a shoulder injury incurred last year after falling from their second story roof…..at 80 years old and hers for blindness in one eye brought on by nothing. 

Net net:  She can’t drive him and he would not be able to drive her.  Yeah – about that.  I live 2 miles from them.  I have one sibling who is in the same area, but was not able to drive them due to unfortunate circumstances involving beer and.the.law in the past (let’s just call him Black Sheep or BS which is oddly VERY appropriate).  My other sibling (let’s call her Grace today) lives an hour away which I am finding is JUST the right distance to be inconvenient for family needs such as these.  (We are calling her Grace due to unfortunate circumstances involving the corner of her fence and her face).

Anyhoo – dad’s surgery was mostly a success, the biggest success in my opinion was that they were able to wake him up afterward and his pain level should greatly decrease from the last 6 months after the accident.   Mom’s surgery is cancelled due to issues discovered at the pre op appointment. 

This is what I call living the dream.  Yes – first off – I am blessed to have them so close to me and a full time job that is flexible enough to allow me to be here for them (and them for me over the past 12, UGH almost 13 years), but sometimes their drama along with my drama is a little too much to process.

I’m sure I am not the only person out there with this scenario, but I am so thankful for a circle of friends who will listen for hours on end and a family that can function without the presence of the nucleus as she deals with all other things that are not her own.  

 

 

And so here I am….

I am attempting this because of the women who write the blogs in the Blogroll. 

I’m funny, a mom, a wife, a corporate employee (which I will not write about here – thanks Dooce), a daughter, a sister and a loyal friend.

I am looking forward to this jump to the blog world and I appreciate all of the inspiration that I have gotten from the 10 or 1000 blogs that I read daily.  My husband now calls me his blog whore…….
