Anything But Gray

Okay….honestly?
This little blog vacation I took?
So not my fault this time!!!!

We had some MAJOR occurrences go down around here and life was utterly and completely insane….

First of all..realized we just could not swing the New York thing…..and decided, with J, to wait until the holidays….I was a little down in the dumps about that. This not getting to meet J thing is getting REALLY friggin' old and I was so, so happy to get to meet her son….so that kind of put me in a blah mood…..but I was excited that we made another date, so all is not lost…..but THEN…..

I lost my internet for FOUR days!!! Yes, FOUR!!!! . Pissed me the fuck off…..pardon the language…but it really, really did. Personally I thought I handled it better than expected but that's just me….you'd have to ask everyone else what they think…lol.

THEN…my mother decides to go and have a minor heart attack. (wink)  Needless to say….life got put on hold while we got through everything with my mom. She was fine…drove herself to the hospital, even…gotta love mom…..and they had her in ICU because of the medication she was on, until they could do the test to see what exactly was going on….which wound up being DAYS later……so we were back and forth up to the hospital and just worried about her. Honestly…not overly worried because she looked and sounded fine…but obviously worried. They transferred her to a hospital in Manchester to do the procedure and then I got a little nervous….but she got through it just fine….she has a stent in now. And she will obviously need to take care of herself a bit better but she will be a okay….WHHOOOO-HOOOOO!!! The emotional drama of that whole situation will have to wait for another post….dont' really want to go there today. Cha know? lol 🙂 Let's just say realizing I could lose my mom really hmmm…..I don't know…..made me think…made me realize how important she is to me……but again, let's save that for another post….

And then during that time mom was in the hospital, the kids started school!

So as you can see, it's just been a lot of big stuff going on and not a single bit of it is MY FAULT.
So I am not taking any of the blame for this one! LOL

I've got lots more cool stuff to talk about but I'll leave you with this for now…..and some pics to make up for being gone for two weeks! LOL

This is the kids first day of school….
