junebug's Journal

I am not sure why I am even writing a journal. I don't even think anyone reads them anymore since I am rarely here on DS. Just came on today to check on everyone and to leave a short update. Things on the house remodel are still in a "flux". Seems that nothing has gone right since day one, but we are still plugging along with it. It would take a whole "journal" to tell you all that has happened. It just depresses me.  Cathy Scott and Brayden are on their way to Michigan. They stopped for the night in Louisville. Tomorrow they will have about a five hour trip...and I can't wait. Brayden is so funny. He told me that there are two beds in their hotel room and that one is his. He then told me they had a coffee maker and when he looked out the window he said..."Oh look, there's a Waffle House". He still thinks that when I talk to him on the phone that I can see what he sees.  Earlier he was at a rest area running around and decided to throw some sticks. With each toss he said..."newspaper"...somewhere he saw someone delivering newspapers and that was what he was doing. He comes up with something new about every five minutes. He knows he is coming to my house and wants to know why he can't see me "right now".   Cathy is doing well with the pregnancy. She is almost 26 weeks now.  Sunday I am having a "sprinkle" for her as a surprise. That's a small baby shower...the gifts are small things that got "used up" with the first baby. There will only be about 6 people there because it was planned in a short amount of time, but she is getting some things she really really needs. I think I told everyone that it's another boy. His name is Cameron Scott. I am getting anxious to have this little one arrive safely. Cathy is struggling a bit with gestational diabetes. She had it with Brayden but this time around they have to put her on insulin. That worries me a little, but on the other hand, I am thankful that they have medications that will help us have a healthy little baby. I am thankful for so many things these days. I have had some real struggles over the past year and at times I do admit that my "thankful" buttton wasn't working very well. I have stooped to self pity on more than one occasion and at times have wondered where God was hiding and why. I am not saying that I am back on the mountain top right now...but as Miley Cyrus' new song says so well...it's the CLIMB that matters. What a talented young woman she is and I love that song. George and I have been at odds over this house remodel. We started out in agreement and as things went from bad to worse, so did our good intentions to not get upset with one another. He has been a HUGE challenge of late and it makes everything else worse when you and your spouse aren't in sync.  Speaking of that, do any of you watch Jon and Kate plus 8?  I feel so sad for that family. I can't even imagine how things will work out for those little children. Parents really do need to tough out the bad times and get help if they need it. The kids are always the ones who suffer the most in divorce. Ok...so I have vented a bit. I feel better. I stayed the night with Shelley last night. She had some dental surgery today and I wanted to take her to the appt. She is doing good actually, but I am staying tonight just to play it safe. She always has things a bit harder than some. She had to go off coumadin and onto Levonox shots for 10 days. With her clotting factor, even dental work presents a problem. I just wish she could get healthy and start to live a more normal life. She and I both have mammograms on Monday. I don't worry about mine but this will be her first one since the breast cancer. I know she dreads it! Oh and Farrah Fawcett died today. I felt so very sad. She fought a hard battle. What a love story she had with Ryan O'Neal. Even with all the troubles and ups and downs, he was right there with her when she died. Can't get any better than that.  so I hope you are all well and that you think of me once in awhile. I think of all of you often.
