It never rains but it pours. Things have been pretty crazy around here lately. From the simply obnoxious stuff like my mortgage getting another $100/month in taxes added to it to my wife and girlfriend striking sparks now that theyre living nearer to each other.
My Grandfather has been slowly dying of Leukemia for about 3 years now, at this point his bone marrow has shut down and hes needing regular blood transfusions to keep him going and hes on an oxygen tank. Any infection or respiratory bug could kill him at this point.
My Grandmother (both paternal) just fell down a couple of days ago and passed out. She gashed her head behind the right ear pretty badly and it looks like she had a pretty brutal infection that needed to be drained in there. On top of that she fainted again while she was at the hospital, they just did a couple of tests and it turns out that there is an area of her heart and isnt getting any blood. Oh, yeah, and when she fell she busted her hip and leg.
Somehow those two are supposed to be taking care of the 2 young Springer Spaniels she chose to get and start obedience training, the two of them have been getting into fights bad enough to leave both their mouths bleeding. Yay right?
My oldest son has Sensory Integration Disorder and is special needs. Hes about a year or so socially behind his peer group. We transferred him to a special needs daycare where he could get the schooling and therapy that he needs to help him catch up. Since we did that hes been catching up and making great progress but hes STILL a hyper nigh-indestructible boy prone to being stubborn. So of course this special needs daycare wont keep him in the wrap-around daycare service that we need after the special needs schooling portion ends. So were going to have to fight again to make sure hes IN the wrap-around service or else were screwed on the front of being able to attend our classes.
Im about to start my Masters Program and I am pretty damned terrified of what thats going to be like. In about 2 years Ill be able to teach and I have absolutely no idea how Im going to face that. Granted Ive been working OMRDD Residential Counseling for about 4 years now so it shouldnt be TOO hard, but well have to see how Ill adjust to it.
My wife just spent a week in the hospital psychiatric center for depression and mental exhaustion. Now that shes started an anti-depressant shell probably be ok but its still worrying. Theres a big part of me that can barely deal with the thought of going to work if it means shes home alone without me being here to help her out. Its mostly Post-Partum Depression and the medication is probably all shell need to get into a better hormone balance. Im glad that shell be getting into regular therapy though, she needs someone neutral to vent to.

What does your girlfriend and wife are having sparks mean? In a good way, or a bad way?
Sorry about your granma, that's a hard one... my best wishes go out to her.
