The North Carolina side of my family....

Their health is totally frustrating. Around mothe's day grandpa was taken to Duke University hospital because of chest pain, abdominal pain and abnormal blood levels. After almost a week they find that his gallbladder has a few stones in it and must be removed. Well, two weeks ago they admit Grandma to do a heart cath (it was origionally scheduled around mother's day). They found that she had three blocked arteries that were too narrow to stent so she was scheduled for a triple bypass. On June 13th she had her surgery and she seemed to be back on track. The about Thursday of last week she started taking a turn for the worse. She just seemed to only want to sleep. Saturday started getting worse, would not wake up, they found that her heart was not working like they had hope. She now back on most of the tubes she was one after surgery. Last night dad said she would respond to question. Also while this is going on dad's sugars are going wacky. Grandpa's leg is bothering him. The lumberton branch are too lazy or scared to go visit her in the hospital (Great bunch)... And I must go because I am scheduled to have my 3 remain wisdom teeth pulled.. YUCK!!!!!!! & OUCH!!!!!. Time to go

The miss adventures of a spotted pup.

I must say when people say Dalmatians are dumb should live with my two. It is truly like living with 2 three year olds. I.V. Grace is not as bad as Cody is. Gracie is my Snob, Princess, scaried cat and most of all she is the DRAMA QUEEN. If you brush her side she will scream like you are killing her. If she wants something Cody has she will constaintly whine like a big sigh. Cody is my thinker. She is constaintly thinkingof how to tease his sister, get what her wants and most of all cause trouble. At our other house we had to but a lock on the pantry to keep him out of the pantry. He will stick his head out of the doggie door and check the weather. When the sun comes out he will run out and sun himself. If the sun moves out of his normal sunning spots he will find a new location then come in and tell Gracie where the new sunny spot is. Tonight we were watching TV and the new Wendy's commercial with the odd shaped family and they fall into a rut and make these sound like tallking. Well Cody was extemely interested in it, watched the whole commercial then put his head back down. Last night the pups were given Benedryl because the storm, well he ate the bread off of the pill and spit it out when we were not looking. Crasy little guy.

Family

The drama continues. Grandma acting like a spoiled 2 year old. Grandpa has been release from the hospital minus a gallbladder and a few gallstones. Their home could be considered a recycling collection center. It took dad 5 hours to clean a pathway from the back door to the porch door. Per dad that did not make a dent in the crap on the porch. He through away an empty prescription bottle from 1997. Church bulletins from 2002. They are truly collectors of crap. Grandma is just being her same old nasty self. She dislikes Carolyn for being civil with mom. I know have confirmed the real reason I never saw grandma go to the restroom while I was up their in in 2003. She uses Depends undergarments as her waste collection device. Grandma does not do anything for herself besides shovel food into her mouth & dish out insults and orders to others. Oh why does she just not pass on and let others live a normal life instead of having them wait hand and foot on her. She can not even test her own blood, give herself an insulin shot or clean herself after she messed her depends. She really needs some help. It makes me feel like I am not wanted by her. That I am not loved as her grandchild. That I am just something that should not have happened. Just like the baby that evelyn gave away almost 30 years ago. That poor little guy is luck to not know what he got away from.

A good weekend

Saturday we sent the day at Epcot at the Flower & Garden festival. It was simply beautiful. They had an amazing butterfly garden. It was an amazing day. Not too hot, not too crowded, it was a perfect day. Although I miss placed my wrist brace somewhere in the park. The new ride Soarin' is amazing. There was an amazing artist who did artwork containing disney icons somewhere in it. We purchased 2 prints for my bathroom. I bought 2 hand towels with a classy mickey on it to place in the bathroom. I just need to get frames & antique crackle them. Today I watched the boys for a few hours then we went to Lowe's and urchased more border stones to put around the front yard. We also purchased some new plants to for the yard also. Friday I purchased some mulch for the yard also. We also purchased some solar lights for the back yard. The yards are coming together.

Whine, Whine, Whine

Why is it that some people can only whine?... Why should sharon be able to go home because she is sick when others work through their illness because there is no one to cover their doctor.. If she calls in sick tomorrow I am going to come & jerk her tush out of bed.. I take her into work. She can work sick just like I did.

This is my new planter.

the new planter
Yes.. This was done in about 30mins. And mom & I did it ourselves..

A weekend with some progress

This weekend was a great weekend. I did seem to get several things completed. Friday night I went to a co-workers house and worked on a few stamping project. Aslo before I left for Cindy's house my new Quickutz Ginger font arrived. Then Saturday morning we went to Panera for breakfast then to Rockledge Gardens. We wondered around & ended up purchasing some impatient for around the front tree. Well we arrived home about 12:45, just enough time to catch my breathe before going to watch the boys so they could go to their daytime babysitter's wedding. Well eleven hours later (more money for my dental work or SDV). Today I worked on a scrapbooking project, worked a little on re-organizing the scrapbook room/stuff. After mom sold another home she just listed we went to Lowes and purchased some border bricks, potting soil, more plants & mulch to finish the planter under the tree. Then we went to Coldstone Creamery for some ice cream. We got home about 6pm and 30 minutes later we had a completed planter. It turned out great. I will post a picture as soon as I upload it from the digital camera.

It is just another day..

I probably pissed Sharon off but oh well... I have grown very tired of doing everyone elses work. Sharon had about 7-10 labs & her rooms left to do when I left work at 5:45pm. I was rebelling.. I am not going to help her keep up.. She is a big girl she can do it. She does not help anyone else.. I did my part to help her but inputting information in the computer & printing her labs for about 6-8 of her patients while I had a patient lag. That was a lot more then I should have. She needs to learn to do them as she sees the patient. I told Jane that I needed to go because I had a deadline to register for something & it opened at 6pm.. Well I registered a few minutes late but I got in.. SDV Disney Here I COME... Yeah.... I will probably hear the wrath of Hurricane Sharon tomorrow.. She will get over it.. Oh Well... I still get to go to SDV..

Just another crazy Monday

Today started out the way last week should have. Last week Dr. B. W. was being a butt head. He was not too nice to his nurse Janet. Well last Tuesday Janet called out sick which she did the rest of the week. Well just when things start to get in to a rhythm something or someone has to put a wrench into it. Not only was Janet out but Jane was out helping her daughter-in-law when her new babies. So we were essentially 2 people down.. Very tight staffing wise. Of course Sharon has to act like an drama queen and show her ass as normal. She was yelling, screaming and running to management fussing and demanding to sit in on an interview that has nothing to do with her situation. I have come to the conclusion as to why she does not get anything completed when she is at her desk. She does not do anything but talk (argue) with her family and fussing about everything that does not involve her. I can not see why anyone has not done anything about her. I have come to the conclusion, I can only get done what I can. Well to get down to it, Janet told the Cherie that this would be her last day. Great.. Now I have to train someone else in the time I need to be working on things for the physician I work under. I have a stack of labs I need to complete. I have phone calls I need to make. I have some of my own appointments I need to schedule. I was so sick last week that I should have been in bed asleep and resting. Nope not me.. I was at work everyday, sick as a dog. Craziness I say... total Craziness. I feel partially bad because she did not get all the training she needed. She was given 3 days with me (truly not enough time) to learn the computer then was thrown to the wolf when sharon & I both had scheduled time off. That is not fair for anyone.. & m was not giving my time off because I had scheduled it back in December. Well this is enough babbling for today..

This weekend has really flown by. I spent a lot of time resting since I have been fighting an allergy attack all week. I have finally gotten over it. I can breath like a normal person again. I have accomplised many things this weekend also. Yesterday We went shopping & picked up some plants for the yard. I purchase 2 more rose bushes for the yard. I planted some Rain lily bulbs and some buttercup bulbs. I also worked on a scrapbooking swap project that I signed up for. Today I vacuumed out the SUV and inally put the seats back in from the moving process. I also brought a few items from the garage so now I can park in the garage.. I also went out and watered all the newly planted plants and blubs. But like I said before, this weekend has flown by. I truly do not want to go to work tomorrow. I want to sleep late with a sun kissed puppy. I don't want to have to deal with grumpy patients who think that the world it going to stop if they do not get thier prescription for hormones called in right now. Or Mrs. Shepper how thinks she is going to bleed to death if she stop the low dose birth control. Lady you are51, it is time to stop them. You are so concerned about the density in your breast, well news flash if there is something wrong with them they are going to take you of the pills faster then you can blink.. so get off your pill addiction. Okay..this is it for today.. Will come back tomorrow and complain about work & see if everyone shows up tomorrow.
