better & closer

better first… son’s ear didn’t keep him up last night. first night he slept all night laying down. or slept all night period.

my back was ok when i got up. i had decided i wanted it x-rayed when i was in so much pain, but the chiropractor said he didn’t think it was necessary. save me some $. he pinpointed the problem and gave me a gentle adjustment. i am still stiff, but it seems to be getting better. he said the more i walk around and move around the better it will get. he said he has had ppl literally crawl through his door with this same disk problem. i believe it. on thursday, i couldn’t even crawl!

hub did enjoy taking care of us, but i think he was ready to have us take care of ourselves again. i fixed a nice supper for the first time in several days. he enjoyed that cuz he was in a hurry between work and something else he needed to go to. son helped me do grocery shopping so i wouldn’t lift heavy stuff. i will miss him next yr.

He is still struggling, but seeming to get it together a little bit better from time to time. keeps burying himself in games and tv to avoid getting some difficult things done and that won’t fly when they are due. oh well. he has to learn.

now the closer….. i think dau is getting closer to getting married. i think i need to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for a wedding within a year. i thought maybe in about 2 1/2 yrs, but i don’t think they will wait. she is so young. but she is pretty mature in a lot of ways. who would have thought she would be the first one married of all her friends? they were all boy crazy, planning their weddings, naming their kids, dating several ppl while she just avoided the whole scene. she dated a couple of guys or i would be very worried about this being her first bf. the guy is super tho.

she said to me the other day that she never could understand why ppl couldn’t wait to get married. she thought, what’s the big deal, just keep going like you are and wait. now she says she understands why ppl don’t wait. scary.

i don’t know how much hub knows. i don’t tell him because i feel it is up to her or her bf to talk to him about it. i have given hints that things are getting serious. i think he knows without anyone saying. maybe. i just hope he isn’t too shocked when they guy talks to him about it. he might flip out. then again, he might not. he never ceases to surprise me. i better mention something just in case. it could be coming up within a month or two. the talking to the dad thing anyway.

well, i can’t stand to sit and type any more. gotta walk around and loosen up the old back.

thanks everyone for the notes. i will note more when i can sit longer.

faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
