Still in ICU

My sister, Rhonda, is still in ICU at St. Francis. Her blood sugar has leveled off a bit, but she will be having surgery on her toe tomorrow morning. She has an infection in it, and they are going in to clean it out (OUCH!). Though there is a slight chance the infection has reached the bone, x-rays are leading them to believe it hasn't and that they won't have to amputate it. Still praying for you sis! And your kitty cats, Allie and Rascal are missing you! They want you to come home soon!

When it rains it pours in our family. We got word late yesterday afternoon that Corby's uncle Chuck died of a massive heart attack in Oklahoma. Corby is not sure how old he was - late 50's we think. R.I.P. Chuck.

We are hoping to make it down to Oklahoma in a few weeks to visit with Corby's brother and sister and their families. There are a lot of family birthdays in March! Besides we haven't seen them since Charles passed away in November.

Today's quote is from Benjamin Disraeli: "Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."

Oh man, that quote really fits me right now. Maybe I'll share that with you later. ;o(

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
