Geeeeeezzzzz...I finally made it!
Hi, Everyone!
It's been over a week since I've been in to see you guys...I sure do appologize! It has just been such a crazy past week it seems...between my rib, working, going to Indiana...
I have to leave in a bit to pick up Lee, so I figured I'd have time to drop a line. Surely, it won't take me 45mins. to 1 hr., to finish this email. lol I don't think I've got that much to say. Of course, I often get side tracked, or think of something to do real fast, so that always seems to take up the time...from when I started, to when I finish. I guess that just means I shouldn't get up and do anything until I'm done. hahaha
Well, we still don't have Lee's mom unpacked. Unfortuanly, I don't think I was much help with my rib this weekend. I over did it, there's no doubt, because come Monday, I hurt pretty bad, and even called Aaron and told him I wasn't going to come in to work. We didn't get home till almost 6am...it seems to keep getting later and later each time we go. Plus, my cold was REALLY acting up, and that made me feel 10x's worse! Needless to say, after Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of no work, I paid for it on Tuesday...it was CRAZY!!! Wed. and today wasn't much better. I sure hope that tomorrow goes better than the last 3. Today, it seemed like Aaron wanted to just keep me there as long as possible. I kept waiting and waiting for address labels to get made, so I could package books, but we didn't finally get started on that till after 4. I had all the books hunted up by a little after 1. I'm not sure why he took so long, other than mentioning at one time, that he was doing "everything else" first. That's all stuff that could have been done AFTER I left! By the time I got to the post office, it was 5:30. Tomorrow, he mentioned that he had to leave...but yet he never mentioned what time, so I'm hoping that tomorrow, I'll be able to get out of there quite a bit earlier than I have the past 3 days.
We're headed out to landon' s for supper. Moriah's friend, Amanda, is going to spend the night, so her and Moriah and just going to hang out here at the house, and not go to Landon's. I'm sure Lee and I won't stay very long either. Lee has a terrible cold, and went to the dr. today. So they filled him up on a bunch of medicine. He's been feeling horrible, and even came home early from work, yesterday. He left about 5:30.
Well...looks like we're maybe gonna try to be out of this duplex and move before the end of Sept. It doesn't give us long, but we're not gonna sign another yrs. lease where we are. We're just not that happy with the duplex, or the landlords. They haven't quite held up their end of the bargin, when it comes to fixing things that are broken. Plus...for what we pay a month...this is nothing! It's gonna take some doing, but I just pray that we can get it done. I'll be sure and keep you all up to date.
We're a little sad around this house. I have told you that our dog Bogey, is old...and not doing very well. Lee really didn't think he'd make it through this past winter. Monday night, and we're not sure when, he got out of the house, which he often tries to do...sneeky...and then he doesn't listen at all when you call him back. Well, we didn't notice really till a little after 10 that he wasn't here. Lee assumed he was outside, since he wasn't in the house, but, of course, didn't find him there when he went to let him in. Now, it is Thursday, and he still has not come home. That isn't like him. We are beginning to wonder if he has done exactly what our other dog, JJ did, ...just left to go off somewhere and die. JJ was 14, and when we let him out one night, he just never returned, and we searched and searched. Bogey was 11, and was really having problems with his hind end....he was part German Shephard, so it could have been displasia...or maybe just bad arthritis. He never acted like he was in pain, but just moved very very slowly, and at times, even had dificulty with his legs even able to support him. I just pray that he laid down somewhere and went peacefully...we sure hate to think that he might have suffered. He was a good dog, and we're really missing him. I think it will be awhile before...maybe quite awhile before I have another dog. I just get too attached, and then things like this are just too hard.
Tragedy seemed to follow us this weekend. Just a few hours after we came through St. Louis, on our way home, 2 people were killed on the same interstate that we were traveling. One poor man...God bless him, had stopped along the side of the road to try and help when he say a van in front of him run off the road. He was struck and killed by an oncoming car, when he was exiting his own. And all he was trying to do was help!
On our way home, we drove by a horrible wreck...a car, on it's top in the embackment. There were 2 firetrucks, and ambulance, plus police, but it didn't seem that any of the rescuse personel were in much of a hurry, which led us to believe that there were maybe no survivors, and no need for a rush. It just made our hearts sink.
Saturday evening, here in Columbia, a 19 yr. old, straight A student from St. Charles, MO, was hit, and then run over by 4 different cars, when he was riding a dirt bike on the highway...no lights, no helmet. He pulled into the side of a car when trying to change lanes, and was then run over. My heart just sank....how how horrible! It seems he had been in a neighboring county for a mud run....but the people he rode with, went off and left him, so he stole a dirt bike, to try and get back to relatives that lived here in Columbia, where he was staying. He was just trying to get home, but went about it very very foolishly, and unfortunately, it cost him his life. Not to mention the trama to those who now have to face the fact that they run over another human being. Dear God...there is such tragedy in this world!
Wow....no more dismel talk!!! Just please...everyone...be careful, and don't ever take anything for granted...especially LIFE!
I actually think we're staying at home this weekend!!! Wow...I won't know how to act. Of course, I need to spend the entire weekend cleaning...my house is a disaster! But, I can't wait to have a weekend to try and recoop, after doing all the Indiana trips, and just being TOTALLY exhausted! I would love to lay around and do nothing all weekend, but I'm sure I'll try to get a few things done....even if I don't go "gung ho"! lol
Next weekend/Labor Day, will be a MUCH needed vacation for us. We will be leaving Friday night, and driving to El Dorado Springs, to spend Sat.,Sun., and Monday with Cheri and Richard. Moriah doesn't have school on the 4th, so she's gonna get to go with us, and has already arranged for days off of work. landon is also going to try and see if he can possibly get the weekend off so he can go with us. Landon and Todd, Cheri's son, we're always tight when they were little. landon hasn't even seen Todd's new babies yet, and one of them is over a yr. old. He hasn't seen Todd since he was down for landon's wedding, and served as usher. He's really hoping that he'll get to go.
Well, I guess I've rattled on enough. lol I'll be leaving to get Lee in about 20 mins, so I'll prob. putz around the puter for a bit more. I sure hope you've all been doing GREAT! I sure wish I could get it together, and wait a week or more, before I get back in! Maybe one of these days......
Much love,
Lev
