Another period of blogless days have passed so some of you may recognize that I'm going through a patch of quietness. I tried to make words of my emotions last night but my computer that my Dad just fixed turned all black on me again and I of course lost it.

Speaking of my Dad, there is good progress. I've been released from nursing duty as he feels well enough to take care of himself. The only thing he's really missing is driving and if he had an automatic, he'd probably be able to drive soon. The medical bills are starting to come in and since my Dad is self employed and has been for most of his life, he can't get disability. The insurance denied his ambulance ride from our small town to Albany where he had his surgery and I'm afraid to think that this is only the first bill of $1200 that will be denied. I know it's hard to follow my own advice but I just told them to file it in the back of their bill rack. There is nothing they can do about it for now (unless there may be an appeal process). But lyrically speaking...they can't get blood from a stone.

This past weekend was the first time my ex ever had the kids for more than a night at a time. He picked them up on Sat. night and didn't come home until Tuesday. Although he had to bring Kev over to the bus stop for Summer school on Monday at 7:45. G and I tried to get out of here and to my Dad's before A pulled in, but we weren't quick enough. This led to 2 days of harassment from A just trying to get back at me because I hurt him.

Things are still wonderful with G and I. We already feel like a family and the kids feel it too. Because of my long weekend, I got to spend a record number of nights in G's arms which was wonderful. I'm thankful yet it makes me long to sleep in his arms every night. I cannot believe the serenity I have in his arms.
