Observations......

Hello everyone, Stephanie here again. Just wanted to update everyone on this afternoon.



Dad is .........

Well that was at 3:00 when I thought Dad was going to take a nap and Dad has other things in mind.

Matt is running errands. Lauren is running errands. Mom is working. Jill is in Austin. Dad is napping. No that was not a typo. I am about to. Wish me luck.

Some observations for all you bloggers out there......

• Dealing with the dying is like taking care of a two year old in the middle of a temper tantrum. You might as well agree with them and move on. Arguing over a lollipop in the middle of the store is never a good idea. I find this so true with Dad. When he says something crazy, then you should just go with it.
• Having experience being a mom helps with this process. ........
• Save your tissue paper from Christmas gifts and that comes in handy to wrap up your ornaments from your tree. Did not do this last year. Wish I would of.
• Deodarant is not something you should forget to wear when sitting for hours on end in your Dad's room with the heater going non stop. Thankful I was able to get a break for bath number two.
• When you are ready to sit and chill, that will never be an option
• It will take you 5 days to make one business phone call becuase you will try to make the call and get called to help do something else
• You sometimes never know when to help and when to leave stuff alone. This is normal
• You want to SCREAM out loud often. Running outside and actually doing it is very, very helpful.
• Doggies really know when you are very upset and try to comfort you the best they can. Maggie has been right by my side all day.
• There will be times when you HATE your siblings and are very aggravagted with them and you don't understand why they are the way they are.
• Prayer is very helpful. Dad told his nurse we have been praying three times a day and that has been working.
• You will not be able to call anyone back when you said you would because you get pulled somewhere else

So, that is that........ I am going to go nap with Maggie and pray that Mom does not wake us up when she gets home.
