I dont have allergies.

At least I didnt THINK I had allergies.

The thing about May.............everything is blooming, floating, and flying around. Things are pollenating each other....

....and Im sneezing 50 times a day.......my eyes are watering.....Im snotty....and stuffy......a real joy to be around

AaaaaaCHOO

Every morning before I leave the house for work I go in to check on my parents and walk Bobo.

Today for the first time since Dad got sick (12-17-07) he was up - in the kitchen and making coffee.

I know this probably sounds insignificant to some of you - but to me it was amazing. It left me feeling happy - hopeful - encouraged - and relieved.

I miss my Dad. I know we are lucky to still have him with us and Im so grateful - but he has changed. He feels it too. He has many limits right now and it depresses him. I keep telling him that he is doing SO much better now than he was before and little by little things will get back to normal - just be patient.

Its hard for him. Here was a man that did everything. He didnt rely on us - but now he is basically at our mercy for EVERYTHING - and I know it drives him nuts. It would drive me nuts too.

So to see him up and about this morning really made my heart swell! He even said he wanted to go back to work crossing the kids! (which scared the crap out of me because HE CANT SEE *GULP*)

So to you Dad, keep up the good work - stay positive - we love you and we are all here for you.

If you read Deb you will see that she is having a hard time WAITING to find out what the plan is for her Birthday.

She cant stand the wait, she cant stand the suspense, she cant stand NOT KNOWING.....because she feels she HAS to know EVERYTHING at all times.

She once told me that when she was younger, she and her sister unwrapped ALL their Christmas presents to see what they were before the big day - then re-wrapped them so their parents wouldnt find out! She also admitted that it ruined her Chrismas that year! little brat

So, here was the conversation last night in bed right before I fell asleep:

Her: Lets play
Me: *perks up* ok! sex games?
Her: NOOOOO
Me: Figures....*sigh*
Her: Lets play the questions game
Me: Oh, I HATE the questions game I want to play sex games!
Her: To bad
Me: *sigh*
Her: I will ask you questions about my Birthday and you will answer
Me: No
Her: Oh, c'mon - just a few questions
Me; No
Her: I will sing to you ALL night if you dont play
Me: NO NO NO - and NO SINGING
Her: *I am Henry the 8th I am....Herny the 8th I am I am*
ME: STOP IT STOP IT
Her: *I got married to the widow next door*
ME: OK OK....what do you want to know
Her: Everything
Me: Ok, if you REALLY want to know - I will tell you...but you are going to be SOOOO sorry
Her: Ok, then, youre right.....dont tell me
Me: What? Im RIGHT? Did you say Im RIGHT?
Her: Shut up and go to sleep
Me: NOW can we play sex games?
Her: NO

She is killing me...........

I may have to tell her just to preserve whats left of my sanity.....and so we can play sex games!
