It's Thursday, and a day off...
A good morning to everyone...how are you all doing this Thursday morning?
I have the day off and really need to try and get something done around this house. I don't really guess I have any plans today. Guess there isn't much I could do anyway, considering I have NO MONEY. Payday is today, so until Lee get's his check around 5, I'm flat broke! So, guess that makes it the perfect excuse to stay at home and try to get some stuff done around here.
There's suppose to be someone here this morning sometime, between 8-12, to have a look at our garage door and opener. The opener hasn't worked since we've moved in here, and the door has a cable broke, so it isn't opening very easily, at all. It will be nice if they can get that fixed today. We won't know how to act with a garage door opener that works right...considering that we've never been able to use it since living here. I hope it is something that they're going to be able to work on and finish up today.
It was a early day for me at work yesterday, having to be at work at 7am. Kirk and Tara-Lee went out with some friends Tuesday evening, and Lee and I watched Eva. We were headed for bed around midnight, Tuesday, when I then discovered that Lee was having some problems with his blood sugar levals (he's diabetic). The sugar levels were really low, and he was acting rather goofy, and definately not making sense. For those of you who don't know, when sugar levels get very low, diabetics often appear to be drunk, confused, and most generally, don't make any sense. Lee can also get very beligerant when he is like this also. The sad thing is, that after it is over, and feeling better, he doesn't remember anything that happened. I did my best to get some food in him, hoping that would start to raise the sugar levels, but it seemed to be taking longer than usual, which worried me. Kirk and Tara-Lee got home around 12:30, so was able to help me out with him some too. Needless to say, that by the time I got his sugar levels up to where I felt safe letting him go to sleep, it was almost 2 am, and then I had to be up a little before 6. So, I only got about 4 hrs. sleep, before having to get up and be at work Wed. morning at 7. By the time I worked all day, ran with Landon all afternoon, when out to his house for supper last night, and then arrived home a little before midnight, I WAS BUSHED!!!!! Then up again this morning a little before 8, to take Lee to work.
Since I had to be at work early, Kirk and Tara-Lee dropped Lee off at work, and then headed out of town to visit my Mom and Dad one last time before leaving. Lee was going to go in early, when I went in, but after the night he'd had before with his sugar levels, needless to say, he didn't feel worth a poop yesterday morning, so decided to wait and go in later. Kirk and Tara-Lee went to Lebanon to spend the day with my Mom and Dad, and out to lunch. They were going to spend the night last night, and then spend today and this evening at the lake visiting with relatives there, and will be back home sometime tonight.
The countdown has begun. It is 1 week before Kirk and Tara-Lee will be leaving.
By this time next week, they will be in the air, on their way to Australia, and the dreaded day will have already arrived and passed. I just don't know what I'm going to do on Wed., when all this takes place. I can only begin, right now, to imagine how difficult it's going to be. I am dreading that day and wonder if my heart is going to be able to take it, without just breaking in two.
It would be difficult enough were I just sending off my son, but it just isn't Kirk. It seems that we just received this beautiful little blessing....Eva...named after my Granny, whom I still miss so much, since loosing her last yr. Now, it seems that she too is being ripped out of my life. Lee and I have also grown to love Tara-Lee very much, so it is going to be triple the heartache come Wed., when we have to send them all off, not really knowing how soon it will be before we will see them again....if ever. Of course, Kirk has promised me that he WILL be back.....that he won't stay there forever, assuring me that there are too many people here that he loves, to stay away forever.
I know that today will be difficult for him, and for my parents. At 86, and 84, they know that there is always the possibity that this could be the last time they will ever see Kirk, Tara-Lee, and Eva. Of course, I pray to God that this isn't so, and hope that their health continues, and that they will still be around when Kirk and his family are headed back here again. My Dad's health isn't the greatest, but hopefully, will be back on track, and doing well again, for several more years to come. Kirk has told me how torn he is. Naturally, he is very excited about the opportunity that has entered his life. Who wouldn't be? How many of us have the opportunity to visit, much less live, in another country for a period, and Australia, at that....a country that I always thought would be soooooo fabulous to visit. Now he has not only the opportunity to go there, but to live there for a time. But, he is also very torn, because it means leaving so many people that he loves so much, and mean so much to him, his family and friends. It is difficult on him, I know. I can only imagine the anxiety that he is feeling, being so sad about leaving, and excited about going, all wrapped up into one emotion! It would have to be difficult.
I talked to Tara-Lee's mom yesterday, from Australia.... Naturally, they are very excited that it is now just a week before they will get to see their daughter, Kirk, and Eva again. Lin and I talked about how difficult it was for them, when they had to do this same thing a couple of years ago...putting Tara-Lee on a plane to come to a strange land, where she, nor they, knew NO ONE!!!! I had always said, I didn't know how they did it. Now, I am finding myself in the same postition they were a couple of years ago. Even we have the advantage here, as we have now met Lin, and Neville, and know the wonderful people that they are, and know of their love for our son also. I feel much better about Kirk going, having met them, cause I know that they will care for him like he was their own child. When they had to send Tara-Lee here, they had not met either Lee or I, only to talk on the phone, so it had to be even worse on them, I'm sure. So, Lin knows how I feel, and what Lee and I are going through. I suppose it ticks me off in a way, that when Kirk finally found someone so very special, she had to be on the other side of the world. It is hard to imagine it as a win win situation....knowing that either Lin and Neville, or Lee and I, are going to have to live with our children being gone, and away from us for awhile. I don't ever feature us going to live in Australia, or Lin and Neville leaving their home, and moving to the US. It will be a lifetime of good-bye's and hello's for all of us. Either Lin, and Neville will be sad, and us happy, while they're in the states, or Lin and Neville happy, and us sad, while they're in Australia..... so.... guess there is no perfect inbetween. It is sure a shame that it isn't a "perfect" world.
Well, I'm gonna make myself get up and get busy on this house. Guess I'll bust some butt really fast, and maybe can get this done so that I have the rest of the afternoon to relax, and spend more time here on the puter. I'll have the puter on, so will be around, checking back in from time to time.
Hope you all have a wonderful day, and I'll be talking to you throughout the day! HAVE A GOOD ONE!
Much love,
Lev
