We've been working! Our sink is shining and the laundry is drying. We are well on our way to another productive day. Bethy is even getting in on the action! Shes such a big girl now. Woohoo. I am excited about how the house is looking. Once I am done with the insides, I am gonna work on the front porch too. Maybe we will get this show on the road.

Michael came over and played with Hickory for a while yesterday. He bought him tennis balls at the store to play fetch. My kids are the greatest. So0o sweet. I am proud of them. I have to start homeschooling Mikey ASAP too...my mamaw was doing most of it for a bit, but with my papaw sick, she won't be able to anymore. We will have to work hard this year, even though he is so advanced.

Robby didn't come in til about midnight again last night, but he got to sleep in later this morning, and I could tell it did him some good. He looked better. He was starting to look really rough. Hes gotten SO much overtime. Hes worked 18 hours most days this week, just trying to make ends meet a little closer.

My papaw is doing well, flirting with nurses I am told. He has one he calls his "night angel" and one is his "day angel". Hahaha. How funny. I am glad hes pulling through this alright. I feel selfish for not going to see him, but I don't have my car! I had no way to go. He probably wants time to recoup anyway. Everyone seems to think that I am a horrible person the way I handle when people are sick, but I just think of things differently than most I guess. I know I didn't want people looking at me like I was a zoo animal in a cage whenever I was sick...

Anyway, I can never seem to keep plans that I make. Something always happens because someone else has other plans. Grr. I mean...it would be nice if they could make sure I didn't have plans before they made my plans for me. Or making plans WITH me and canceling at the last second.. Does this make me selfish? Evil, perhaps? I dunno.

I will be back later, after I have single handedly transformed my bedroom into an oasis. Yeah right..
