Long days

Well, I'm still here at home and haven't been called by the school system yet. I was really hoping that by now they would be phoning and begging me to come and help out in some classroom somewhere in the school. I did find out that my resume has been forwarded on but I still have yet to hear anything back. I'm thinking next week I will just go in and volunteer so that they can see how I will be with the kids. Maybe then they will decide I'm worth paying...I sure hope so!

I don't remember what my last update on Joanne was but she was airlifted to the University Hospital September 13th. Her hemoglobin was so low that she needed a transfusion immediately so they shipped her to Edmonton. She was in there when they also found out that she had a blood clot in her arm from the IV. They have been giving her medicine for that so she doesn't end up with it going to her brain. She was released from there on Monday September 29th. She is back home now and has to go in for bloodwork everyday for a while. They want to make sure that she doesn't get anymore clots. It's really nice to have her home and back in the area. It's also great to have her mom here for, what is hopefully, a long while.

Obviously, Kelvin got back from Ottawa on the 21st and I survived the week with all six children on my own. It was a good week and I still don't like doing it on my own.

This weekend my boys and myself are going to Camrose to take care of all of Doris' things that are left. We will leave tomorrow after school when the boys get home. Saturday is the day that we go through all the stuff and decide what we want to keep in her memory and send to second hand stores and the dump. I hope it goes well and that we don't have any 'fighting' over anything.

Next weekend we will go again to Camrose for Thanksgiving with my family. This time Kelvin will come with us but his kids will be back with their mom for the holiday.

Today, I have to bake more bread as we are completely out. I better go and put it in the loaf pans now.

Until next time..........
