Sad day...

Yesterday was such a sad day.  But at the same time... It made me realize so much. 
I am very proud of ALL of my kids.  They behaved very well.  And Josh really stepped up to do his part in the services.  I KNOW that wasnt easy for him.

Family is sooo much more than blood.  I already knew this.  Yesterday was just another one of those "see" moments!

Pap's funeral went as expected.  It was nice to hear all of the memories being shared... not so nice that everyone had to say their goodbyes.
The gathering after was also nice. 
Stacy and I realized that "cease and desist" letters mean absolutely nothing to some people.  It has been a bit since we have heard or seen his stalker... I knew it was too good to be true.  Stacy looked at me and asked ME why someone who hasnt been around for 10 yrs felt the need to show up... I just have no answers for him.  Then he began thinking and knows someone put the info in her ear.  I have just decided to let it go.  I am just hoping things continue to go in the right direction, even with this latest bump.  I think it is sad... and clearly the person needs some professional help.  Rest assured... if the harrassment starts back up... we will follow through on the actions we stated in the original letter!!   I WILL NOT live that crap again!!  Freakin crazies!

After we got done with the family stuff... we came home.  I immediately started doctoring a migraine.  One that would NOT go away... and I still have lingering!  Then it was off to pick up my Sprocket-Man!  He had some life altering surgery yesterday... and is recovering nicely.
Once we picked him up... we set on an adventure to find the Bison farm!  Yes, I want to try bison meat.  I read that it is SUPER healthy.  We found it... but have no idea if they have a "store"...or when it is open.  Of course... no website either. 

Last nite was Nathan's Christmas concert.  His first trumpet performance!!  He had quite a turn out in his personal audience!!  Grammy, Pappy, Meemaw, Pop, Josh, Jason, Carrey, Lexi, Aunt Pami, Nona and Aunt Teauni!!  He was very happy to see everyone.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves...Especially Lexi!  She was too cute!!  Dancing her lil heart out!  LOL
Oh... I niece-napped her before the show.  Her and I walked the halls of the middle school for a little bit...checking out all of the artwork on the walls... and the Christmas decorations!  We had some nice chit chat... mainly about the gum I was chewing!  LOL!  Soooo freakin cute!!
Of course my mother didnt show up.  No surprise there.  Before her excuse was that she lived too far away... now she comes up with new excuses.  Perfect.  She is what she is... and I am just completely done with the bullshit.  She wonders why NONE of her grandkids are particularly fond of her... WELL...  maybe she should look at herself in the mirror!  Even Courtney thought her cat excuse was ridiculous!  Oh well.  I can only do so much.  THEN... to hear she wants to cry that the kids dont like her... HELLLLOOO!?!?!  Seriously?!?!
I just refuse to listen to the shit anymore.  I am sick of what we are providing for her NOT being good enough!  I am tired of the phone calls... complaining about something or another.  And the calls from my grandfather wanting to rig something up in the house to make her happy!  NOOOOO!!!!  It is what it is... either deal with it... or move out.  I swear... ungrateful doesnt even begin to describe it!!   I have been pushed to my limit now. 

By the end of yesterday I had a killer migraine!  Lexi made it a little easier to deal with for a few minutes.  Which I completely appreciated!!  The little squirt is gonna be 2 next week!
I went straight home and got into bed... Stacy got the kids to bed for me... and brought up my meds and stuff.  I have no idea what I would do without him!! 

I was up bright and early this morning... getting the kids ready and out the door... and getting my shop day started.  We had some of the sweetest dogs come in today!!  I really enjoyed having Stacy here today too.  He LOVED the husky we had today!

Well... I guess that is all I have for now.  Time to start homework hell!  Then do it all over again tomorrow!
