[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 142741, member: 84"] I did manage to sleep in some this morning. The alarm went off, I just couldn't seem to drag myself out of bed. Nichole made sure I was up by 7am though, which was good. Sucked down a huge cup of coffee and headed for the hospital. I did catch the NP this morning. mother in law's DNR order has been corrected. Doubtful she'll be released until friday which is good because I don't have school on fridays. Might not be til later than that, we'll see. I'm getting ready to make those phone calls this morning. Oh, Marcie if you see this I did look up the one you sent me. Nice but way too far from us. (thanks) easy child did meet me at the hospital this morning. Nichole came with me too since I was running late. easy child took her to work from there. Like I said I'v got those phone calls to make, school at 1pm. Will stop off at hospital on way home from school around 4pm. I can't fix the gas or water. Which by the way the water is being shut off today. I just can't get out there and I can't miss another day of class for it. husband won't be home from work in Cincy in time to do anything about it either and can't afford to take the time off work. So I'm not worrying about it. Nichole made arrangements with boyfriend that Aubrey can stay there til it is turned back on. Everyone else can do without. I'll go to pcs and take my showers. lol I do try to do as little as possible though. Transporting Nichole and Travis is necessary. Small town, no buses. Neither can afford the taxi service everyday. Nichole is saving her checks to get her license and get the things for her car in order so I don't have to transport her. Travis just can't help it. easy child does try to help me with this when she can, but between school and work herself she can't do it often.
