Now What?

Well, as I posted earlier, Gpa passed away this afternoon about noon. Don't know for sure when the services are, but we are guessing it'll be Tuesday night visitation and Wednesday funeral. Steve and I are going home on Tuesday for a few days. Tanner is going to stay here with her dad; she said she didn't want to go because it's "just too sad." I agreed with her and I'm not going to force her to go.

School starts again tomorrow. My baby will be a 7th grader! Man, I feel old! I've got her lunch ready, the clothes are ironed and laying out, she's packed and "organized" her backpack at least a bajillion times, we've said our prayers and she's now in bed. She wants to get up at 6:00 so she has "plenty of time" to get ready in the morning. She's convinced that traffic will be a booger in the morning so she "NEEDS" to be at school at 7:30. I didn't make her any promises, just told her I'd see what I could do. :) When we said our prayers tonight she said "Thank you Jesus that I'm so excited for school. Please help me sleep because I think I might have a hard time settling down." Hee, hee, she's a hoot!

Matt took the news about Gpa pretty well. I don't know that he completely understands since his short term memory is so screwed up right now. Tuesday isn't going to come soon enough for me. Not only do I want to get up there to see and be with my family, I'm dying to see Matt again. I did get to talk to him a little bit on line today and that was nice. He sent me a couple of pictures of his injuries and he looks like physically on the outside he seems to be looking better.

I think I'm off of here to take a nice, long, hot bath. Hopefully I'll relax a little.

G'night.
