A Surgery with an Answer

Well, Eyore had surgery on Monday. For the first time in a long time there was an answer. He has an ulcer and it is also eating part of the bottom of the esophogus. Medicine is the answer for now. If that doesn't work, we can then look at other options. We are happy to at least have one answer in a long list of questions.

We are exhausted from the long week-end spent at my sisters, then the surgery the next morning, then the recuperating. Eyore does not recover normally and is still having severe head-aches and fatigue. He is barely awake this morning. School has become such a challenge. He is so tired most of the time that we can only do about half of what we need to accomplish. Through the summer it will be.

I had to put Christopher in an early morning homework club to get him to keep his grades up. This is so frustrating to me. He is so smart but just doesn't do the work or only does it half way and then turns it in. If he takes the time to do it he gets 95 to 100%. Ahhhhh! I had to be at the school at 8:00 this morning and school normaly starts at 9:00. They decided to let my little Roo stay to so I didn't have to stay for 45 minutes. The secretary of the school said she would pick Christopher up so I don't have to go to the school every time and Roo can catch the bus. Thank you miss secretary.

Our pool is crystal clear now and swimmable. Come on over Mrs. Darling. The water is still a bit cold but the kids love it. The yard is another matter. Our grass is nice and green but so is everything else. The people before us put in so many bushes and trees and there is absolutely no other color than green. We have a huge back yard and it desperately needs some color.

The life of fixing up a house is more than we ever thought. It is much harder to keep the house clean while you are constantly making a mess or working outside so much that you don't spend enough time inside.

The automatic sprinklers are a major blessing and I find them fun to watch! At least I don't have to water everything every day.

Off to start school for the day.
