Missing him

Current Mood: Sad

In my last post I briefly talked about Craig’s grandfather being in the hospital, a lot has happened since then. We had learned that not only was his grandfather ill, but his grandmother wasn’t doing much better. So he and Kirk split up 2 weeks to go out and help them out. Kirk took the first week and come home Sunday. Craig has been out there since Saturday and has since found out that both his grandparents have bronchitis and diabetes. The doctor told him that the ER misdiagnosed his grandfather’s Congestive Heart Failure and that it was commonly done, but his fall was caused by a mild stroke.

I know that this is going to sound selfish, but this week has been a bit hard on me as well and I’m sure just as hard on Craig. This has been the first time that we have been apart since we first starting dating, not including the night before our wedding when he slept at the hotel next to our apartment. I know .. “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.. BLAH .. BLAH.. BLAH.. I can’t stand being without him. The only thing that kept me from going totally insane is being at work and talking to the guys on Teamspeak at night. The dogs haven’t been much help either. They have been acting really weird all week, well except for the typical taking over of the bed at night. I’m still amazed at how two little animals can push you to the edge of the bed. I’m trying so hard to be a BIG girl, but it’s hard. UGH!!!! Of course there is good news to this part of the story. Craig will be back home in 24 hours 28 minutes and 29 seconds.

P.S. Sorry to those that I haven’t had the time to talk to about this personally. :down_tb:

Tuesday Blues or Reds?

Current Mood: Sad

Here it is another work week has started and just as usual I am not liking it one bit. :sad_tb: Not only am I blah because it’s a whopping 18 degrees outside, there’s snow, and I didn’t get much sleep last night, but to top it all off the Spicy Ginger color that we dyed my hair turned out to be more of a Red Hot, or maybe it’s an Orange Flame. In any since it’s definitely not the color that I was expecting. Now I will have to live with it for 6 to 8 weeks because I’m fearful of trying to dye it with a different color right away. Ugh!!! :furious_tb: Maybe I should just go back to my natural color of Blah Brown or maybe I could just go bald. Now there’s a fashion statement, or maybe that’s just a statement. Oh well it will fade away soon, I hope.

It other more pressing news we found out this weekend that Craig’s grandfather had an incident last week and is currently in the hospital being monitored. Some time last week he fell. He didn’t go to the hospital until this weekend. The doctors believe that he had a mild stroke or heart attack. They also found that he has fluid in his lungs which has been making it hard for him to eat and that he has Congestive Heart Failure. Once he is stable the doctors want to send him home with nurse care. Craig talked to his grandmother yesterday and she seems to be in good spirits, other than the terrible cold that she has, she is keeping a positive attitude.

Happy New Year!

Current Mood: Sickly

I know this is a tad late, unfortunately for me I have been sick with the flu for that last few days. Yes, it has been horrible, but my dear hubby has been taking very good care of me. (Thanks sweetie, what would I do without you). Anyway, here we are with a New Year in front of us, what does the New Year mean to me? Well simply it means a fresh start. I have always said that my resolution for the New Year was not to make any resolutions. Just an easy way for me to not have to deal with the let down of failing. This year I have decided to make a few resolutions.

I’d like to spend more time with friends and family. I know that as we get older it is harder and harder to find the time to spend with loved ones, but without their support it is sometimes hard to get through the year. Time is short; I hope to spend it more wisely this year.

I’d like to read more books. Last year I started to enjoy reading books for the first time in my life. Now that I have gained the attention span to sit and read I am hoping to be able to read at least 12 books this year.

I love doing crafts, so this year I’d like to be more creative. Maybe all the birthday cards that go out will be handmade, and that should be a bit easier with the new toy Craig got me for Christmas.

I also hope to continue losing weight. Last year was not a great year for me diet wise. I kind of stopped my diet mind. This year I will need to get back in gear so I can lose the last 20 lbs. I know it will be hard, but I know I can do it.

Above all, my hope for 2007 is that my family, friends & I will all lead a very safe, healthy and successful year.
