well…it’s been an interesting week here in the ‘nest’…not sure how interesting it will be to the rest of you, so I’ll just hit the highlights :smile
first off…the kids grandpa is doing better, he’s still in the hospital, off the respirator and sedative, and trying to get out of there (not gonna happen anytime soon) he had ‘threw’ a blood clot which blocked off one of his lungs, has pneumonia, and they found he also has congestive heart failure and had a heart attack in the last 2 years or so :sad
on the home front, I found a place here locally, about 10-12 blocks from where I am now, only 2 bedroom but the one bedroom is about the size of the boys 2 rooms put together…huge yard, much better shape than the place I’m in now, 2 buildings in the back, one for storage and one I could make into a playhouse for the kids…the boys love it (can’t wait to move in actually)
but I still hate this town…*sighs*
anywayyyyyy…I’m here for the time being…vacation put on hold, Christmas is looking up…and my father is gone (he was here taking care of the kids while I worked and their dad was at the hospital w/grandpa)
I love my father…if not for him I wouldn’t be here…however, we do NOT have the same opinions on ALLOT of things!!
example: the Jessica Lynch issue…while I agree it’s been blown way out of proportion by the media, his opinion is that she has no business being in the army in the first place…and I quote
“she should have stayed home and had babies like a womans supposed to, she had no business being in any mans army”
EXCUSE ME?!?!
is it any wonder this is the only family member I’m NOT out to??

Jeez… when it rains it pour with you! (btw, I hate your town too.).
With the Jessica Lynch issue, I’ve grown quite an admiration for the way she’s speaking out. She could be riding the gravy train, and milking the “Hollywood version” that the Pentagon put out for all it’s worth… but instead she wants to set the record straight. I also think she’s a hero just like anyone over there right now.
Call me old-fashioned, but I still don’t think they should send women into combat… not that I doubt their fighting capabilites, but they stand way more to lose as POW’s.
Best wishes for your dad…
