Quick, but much needed update with promises to do better....

OK, just a few quick updates:

My cousin, C, came back from rehab, relapsed, lots of alleged abuse drama, husband moves her to areas unknown and no one can locate her. Husband initiates a call with C's gramma this past weekend. She seems to be doing OK and promises of regular calls were made.

I went through kidney donor evals and will go into detail about all that later. End result...I was a perfect match.

March 11, 2010, which is also National Kidney Donor Day, I donated my left kidney to JC. I'll blog about that later. It was AWESOME!!

Two weeks after I got home Soldier tells me that we are moving to Kentucky as he is being transferred. Nice. That's another novel of detail.

Because I'm a masochist, I went back to work and school the same day. Guess how long it took me to have a complete mental breakdown from surgery, packing our entire lives, school and working full time? I'm happily medicated now ;).

Labor Day weekend, the kids and I drove the last little bit of belongings to Kentucky and here we are. We kinda like it here. Weather is WAY warmer but nothing is close. That's my only beef. And you know the site 'People of Wal-Mart'? I got my own 'People of Kentucky'. Is HA-larious.

Shorties are well. Chunky is being treated for a sinus infection and Mad Hatter is having severe homework frustration. That's hard on a six year old. I've sent a note to her teacher to talk about her work ethic and what we can do to ease the frustration for Mad Hatter.

I'll have way more to talk about, but need to wrap up my day at work and who wants to read a novel right now? Well, I do, on my gorgeous Nook, but I need to work for my paycheck. Go figure!

Is it Friday yet?

I really should be working. I'm off most of next week and have no business pitzing around. I can't help it. This gawd-blessed weather is making me a blob of ick. I've been to the gym twice in two weeks. Yeah. I was going to the gym EVERY DAY!!! I can't seem to muster it up to go. I am tonight and hope that helps to snap this funk out like a box color to gray hair.

My cousin, CJ, is in Nebraska at a rehab facility. I'm gathering she's doing wonderfully and her memory is slowing making its way back. So good to hear.

JC's labs came back the highest they've ever been. She had a couple bad days of extreme lethargy, but once we compared notes, decided it's the winter doldrums that everyone is seeming to have. We need some SUN.

I have the donor evaluation next week. I'm not really worried about it. It is what it is and will be. I'm a compatible donor or I'm not. This is one thing that's very black and white. And for that, I'm glad. Peeing in all kinds of containers and pretty constant for two days....not something glamorous that's for sure.

My kidlets are officially crazy. They need sun and decent weather so they can get outside. They are making their crazy crazy.

Mad Hatter has a blanket that goes everywhere. Has for as long as I can remember. It's a one-of-a-kind crocheted deal made by my grandmother when I was 16 and packed away with some other stuff she'd been secretly keeping for me. She managed to somehow break the yarn and unraveled a LARGE hole. In the damned middle of the blanket. She brought it to me yesterday morning in tears. I told her she had to leave it at home and I'd fix it the minute I walked in the door from work. My crocheting skills are seriously lacking. I managed to fix her blanket. It's resembling Frankenstein. Some of the holes are getting bigger and I can't do much about them. I've tied off the yarn so they don't unravel anymore, but I'm running out of creative ideas. The yarn is a variegated white/pink/blue/mint green and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. And she refuses any other blankets. Kid is almost 6. I kinda thought she'd be done with it....and her thumb-sucking.

Chunky has discovered monster trucks. I wish he'd discover peeing on the potty. He's just not that into it. I've tried prizes, treats, threats, nakedness, promises of chuck e. cheese. Nothing. Not interested. Zippo-shitto. At least he won't go to college in a diaper. I hope.

Is it Spring yet?
