This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

What a day!

This has been a crazy day. I have a sticker laying right here that I am getting ready to stick to my blouse, "I'm going crazy and I'm taking everyone with me!"

First Preston wanted me to call and see when he could have surgery SOON so they called me back and said tomorrow afternoon. Well, he didn't want to miss his stories tomorrow night that he listens to on the radio, but we told him he could take a radio and listen to them at the hospital. So he decided ok. Then hospital called and we did all the pre-registration stuff, BUT he cannot have anything to eat after midnight tonight and his surgery is not until 3:20 tomorrow afternoon. There is no way that would work. I cannot fight with Preston all day tomorrow to keep him from eating, and if he does eat they can't do the surgery anyhow, what a mess. So I am trying to reschedule the surgery and get it scheduled on a morning, but now the lady that does it won't call me back. She thought they would have let him have a little something in the a.m. and I asked the hospital about yogurt and they said no. He said he would do fine if he could eat a yogurt and take his meds., but it is a no go situation. So I have to call everyone back to tell them the surgery is not tomorrow, but trying to wait and see if she calls and tells me when it is. I am praying that she hasn't left the office already, and that we will know something tonight. My nerves feel like they are falling apart.

I mopped the bathroom and Preston had to use gobs and gobs of wipes to clean himself and totally plugged the toilet. It took me forever to try and get it unplugged and some splashed on the clean floor, so mopped over that again. Then I saw he had BM on his shirt, and did he want to change it??? Never!!!! Wanted me to wash it out and spray it with febreese so it wouldn't stink, did all of that, and he ended up changing it after all. I feel I deserve to have a nervous breakdown! ha.

Since I thought surgery was tomorrow, and my inlaws were coming here in a.m, I wanted to get some work done here, as far as cleaning. I did get kitchen mopped. Missie cleaned her room, folded clothes and vacuumed living room for me. Now she is gone to the church where she goes for co-op to practice for their program tomorrow. They picked her up; the same people that take her every Friday. Her nerves have been on edge all day too. She was scared for me to tell him the surgery was tomorrow, then she was scared for me to tell him he couldn't eat in the morning, on and on. I told her to take her medication; it is a natural product that helps with her anxiety. So it is good that she is gone for a while. After supper I am going to town.

I have these new top dentures and will they stay where they belong? Of course not, that would be too easy. When I talk they are falling down and it drives me crazy. So I have to get some adhesive to make them stick in my mouth, TONIGHT!!!! I cannot even eat with these things in my mouth. I can eat better without them, then with them in.

So at this point, I know Preston has to have surgery, but I don't know when. I wanted to know tonight before the office closes, but where is the lady???? Just my luck, she has left early or something???

I only have one question: WHY IS MY LIFE SO COMPLICATED????

Missie and I, if all is well with Preston, are flying to NY on June 23 and going on into Canada to my mom's for almost a week. I need that relaxation sooo bad. It will be good for Missie and I both. Daddy and Preston will stay here as they both are homebodies.
