My wife called around 7:00 and was leaving to come home. So she should be here in about an hour. I had an exhausting evening with the boys, but I'm just being whiny.
Actually they're fine, but the little one was exhausted when I picked him up and by the time we got brother to football, went to the store, came home, started dinner, had a bath, picked up brother, etc. it was 9:30 and way too late for him.
And the 13-year-old is, well, 13. I have to keep reminding myself that this is hard on him too. In addition to the fact that he's probably worried about Papa, he's got the hormones fighting the Battle of Gettysburg inside his body, he's just started another year of school, etc. So I try to be patient (I don't always get there).
With my FIL it appears that it's going to be a roller coaster ride for a while. He was practically gone last night, was doing much better today, had a set back this afternoon...
I'm fine, just tired. But I need to stay up until my wife gets home so she can talk. I felt bad when I found out she talked to her sister last night after I was asleep and got the bad news. And she probably spent most of the night worrying about whether the car was ready (it was), and cash, and the boys, and the house and the fact that she meets all of her students and their parents tomorrow.
She gets no emotional support from the rest of the family. They're just not capable of giving it. So, I can lose a few hours sleep...
...so keep me awake!

So I manipulated it to get October Revolution, when I chose the best answers I could find I got the American Revolution. Are there any other Revolutions in that thing?
You have just summed up the national budget process.
altern_active How about coffee for staying awake? It's almost this hobbit's bedtime.
One of these hikes you go on I should come along on Bay. He and I would love to walk with you! (why walk when you can ride is my motto)
What a great idea! Of course, you'll both have to wait around for me to catch up with you, but as long as you don't mind that, it'd be a lot of fun!
I kinda like that "why walk when you can ride" motto too--but especially when it refers to bicycling!!
And I'm old enough and have been through enough stuff to not expect the "perfect words." It's mainly important to know people care.
If I learned anything from fighting cancer, it was that we'll get through this. It's really a sense of getting through, but not living in the moment. Does that make sense? There are ugly times in life. This is one of them.
We've known this time was coming for years. It's just hard when it gets here. It'll suck while we're in the middle of it. But we'll get through it.
As much as I whine, my wife and I are very much "just do what you have to do" people. That's why we hate committees and church budget meetings...just do it!
Thanks for caring.
What'dja have in mind?
