Wow, Wow & Wow!!

WOW!!! Things can get so crazy! I even asked my Mom this morning if she & Dad and Aunt Martha & Uncle Harold would be interested in moving to south Florida with us. She said Dad had talked of that in the past too. Well, we figured we would spend way more money on gas or plane tickets trying to get back up here to handle "stuff". Don't get us wrong, we love it that we are here to help with stuff but it's our old people's nerves that get us down. I now believe every word my Mom has been telling me for the last 30 years about age and a person's physical health and mind. (I hope mine starts an uphill swing really soon.) Mental Health........what a deep thing. Someone needs to come up with a magic injection or transfusion that gets rid of all the mental scars in your brain and lets you start with a brand new mind. Woohoo!

Awwww.................we love ya kids and don't know what we would have ever done without you. Probably a quite boring lonely life so thank you to all of you for your love in return. :-) Actually, the latest "drama" didn't even include any of our kids but I think I may have lost 1/2 year or so of life after those 48 hours. Love to all!!!!!

Chilling last night on the couch watching "The Bachelor" and got a call at 10pm. Libby's expedition petered out on her. In her voice was a little anxiousness with good reason. She & Krysta were smelling a burnt smell so there was no heat. Libby asked for me to please, please come get her babies. I was on the road immediately. Got the girls in my WARM vehicle as soon as I got there. With the wind chill I have no doubt that the temperature was hovering in the lower single digits. Kinda scary. The only positive of all this negativity was that she happened to be able to pull her car over in a repair shop's parking lot. It was mine & Tony's mechanic's garage. He has been repairing our cars for over 10 years now. She dropped me off at home last night and is using Tony's car for now. Still waiting to hear the prognosis on that. BTW, Michelle's car was in the shop for a couple days last week with wheel bearing problems and Shane's vehicle broke down yesterday with what they think is transmission problems. UNIT 8!!!!!!! TAKE A TAXI THE REST OF THE WEEK! DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S A VERY GOOD TIME FOR OUR VEHICLES! haha!!

We leave to take Libby and the girls to see Kurt for the last time in a couple weeks. Will be a very bittersweet few days. I still vividly remember the last time I had to say goodbye to my son as he left for Iraq. I still see myself driving away looking at the vehicle he had climbed into. Very sad experience still etched in my memory. Oh well, enough of that. I'm positive you will hear a whole lot about Kurt over the next year. Damn it!!!! Somebody please do something about all of these middle eastern conflicts with all those crazy people so our HEROES don't have to sacrifice years of their lives and time with their families who also have to suffer because of those idiots over there. Gotta go for now. :-( I love you Kurt!
