Goodevening, another week has come and is almost over. We are looking forward to our trip to Marc and Stacies this weekend. It has been a couple of months since I have seen the kids.
It has been an okay week for the most part. Grammy Rose had a bad day today, she spent the morning and half the afternoon crying down stairs , she really wasn't sure why,missing her Donald, but I also think maybe she is anxious about going away for the weekend ,not that she minds going to Marc's and Stacie's but it is out of the routine and she has a real hard time with being out of her element, any way she is doing okay this evening, but is kinda of draggy and seems like she could be set off any moment. I feel bad for her but there really isn't any thing much Bruce and I can do for her, she has to come out of it her self. Hopefully the weekend won't be to much for her, but life has to go on and we will do what we have to do. Well guess that is it for today.. Hope every one else is doing fine... Matt sounds great and enjoying Hawaii, Lorelai is growing like a bad weed and all the rest are doing great. Good night, until next time....

Colonoscopy
Okay, I made it... not something I care to do again for another 10 years. All went well, and they didn't find any thing, so clean bill of help the prep is worse then the procedure it self. It was over and done with before I really knew what was going on. I am tired tonight, but all in all I am fine.
Okay, back to GR... we got through the weekend, wow... not fun. She had a semi bad day Sun. spent the morning crying uncontrollable but by afternoon she was better. Yesterday she was some better and today she had had a good day, she has felt needed and done some things around the house for me today do to me laying low for the rest of the day. She did get alittle upset yesterday when she thought that Bruce didn't want her to go with him to keep him company today while I was in surgery. But once we got that worked out she has done well. She is failing more and more each day, and I see signs of her condition getting worse. But we are still in that half way point. I do get tired of having to explain every thing that is said in her presence that she doesn't understand even if it is a passing conversation between me and Bruce....I know I am moaning again.... I need to stop it ... I know....lol....Any way she seems to be doing better and maybe we can stabilize for a bit. We will see.
Well, guess I will close this now.. still trying to recover some and it is getting time for bed.
Love you all......

Oh what a day....another one!!
Okay, I am so tired after the day I have had but I need to get this written down and so here goes.
Yesterday Meggan GR and myself went to Chris's apt. to help pack the rest of the things that he hasn't had time for and we wanted to do a service project for him as he does so much for all of us. So any way we did that yesterday morning, came home and spent the rest of the day as usually. I mentioned to Meggan that I wanted to come back tomorrow, today, to finish it up and I wanted to go early because I had other things that Bruce wanted to do this afternoon, and because I really wanted some time with Meggan and it is easier with out GR to do most things. And I just need to get away from her some times and have some time to feel like I have a normal life. Any way, she picked me up 8:15 am and we went on our way, GR wasn't even up at that moment. Well, we went on our way and she got up 15 Min's later. I had told Bruce what to tell her, and I guess he did . However, she was in one of those moods and it didn't help, she started saying that I didn't want her around and that first Aunt Sandy didn't want her and now I didn't want her around and she started crying and acting out and had a real melt down. I have been noticing lately that she has been having a hard time with the amount of time I spend on the phone with my daughters, and she has made several comments. I have noticed that she is fine as long I give her all the attention but as soon as my attention is turned away to some one else except Bruce she really gets jealous , so any way Bruce called me about 3 hours after being gone, and told me about this happening , well, I was not happy needless to say, it felt and feels still like I can't leave her for even a few min's because she feels like I am not caring if I do.... well as you all know me.... I was upset with her when I came home an hour later after Bruce's phone call, so I walked into the house and you could have cut the tension with a knife, so I took the bull by the nose and went over to her and told her that we needed to talk, she said no, and I said yes, we have a problem that needed to be resolved. Needles to say she broke out in tears again and we talked or I should say I did most of the talking, but she did say a few things like she missed her family, and she wants to go home, and that her sisters don't miss her because they don't ever see her or call, not true, but in her head it is because she doesn't know time at all. But the thing that got her really in trouble with me was when she said that I didn't want her here, and I am afraid I got alittle stern with her and told her that it wasn't fair that she should say that because if I really didn't want her here she wouldn't be here.... needless to say she did apoligize because she knew I was right, any way I did remind her again about her illness and some other things , and then we got on with our afternoon.
Now I know it is her illness, and I need to have patience with her and I do most of the time, but there are limits even with me. I am not about to give up my time with my daughters, even if it is on the phone ( she hates it that I talk for hours some times on the phone with all of them) and not about her either.... infact very little does it ever concern her ,she has got to get over the fact that I have a life other then her. I feel badly for her and have a great concern for her, but I do have a life beyond her. Any way we are back to normal this evening, Bruce took her to church and we are doing our thing this evening , watching TV before we go to bed.
I hope it is true what they say, that she won't really remember this day for long. It is hard, but for the most part we do really well around here. But if every time I leave her and she gives Bruce a hard time I am afraid we may have more problems then what she is ready for.....time will tell.
Any way keep us in your prayers we need them.
This is it for my rambling tonight. Love ya all.

Return Home
I am home after spending a month with Jenny, Erick, and Lorelai, I guess I didn't spend a month with Lorelai, but did get to spend 2 weeks with her. I enjoyed my time with them and it was great to hold Lorelai and give her love. She is such a sweet baby. I really hated to leave them but it was time to come home and rejoin Bruce and Grammy Rose. Of course Grammy spent the time I was at Jenny's with Mike and Vicky. It was along time to be away.
Since we have been home which was 2 weeks Sat. alot has gone on. Last week was spent going to dr's all week either for her or me. All turned out good for me but we are going to the dr. on Thursday to find out how G. Rose test went. We are hoping to hear good reports . She had a mamagram done and Cat Scan of her lungs. So we will get that report from the doctor. Then next week I am going in for that all dreaded colonoscopy that every one is suppose to have done at my age.... no I am not old thank you.......but getting there.:)
We are gearing up for the holidays, as we are expecting Jenny and Lorelai in on the 30th of Nov. Then Erick and Marc, Stacie and kids come in on the 20th of Dec. I think Matt will be home at that time too. Of course most of you know that he is headed for Hawaii, and will be working over there for 2.5 years to 3 years. As far as we know Meggan and Beckham will be moving there with him after the first of the year. We are not looking forward to them all going, but know that they need to do what is best for them. We will miss them alot, it has been so nice to have them around close for the last 2 years..
On a happier note, we had snow yesterday and the day before, yes snow.... a little early but we love it. It is all melted now tho, but the MT's still have snow on them. It is nice to have the fall weather here, finally after it being so hot all summer. I really love the fall season, it is my favorite time of the year.
Guess this is it for today. Love you all.....
