Sunday

Well, Bible Drill went very well yesterday. My oldest DS got a perfect score. So, he was awarded the Bible that he used in the competition. He's very proud of his accomplishment -- and well he should be.

Mom and Dad's friend has now left town, so Dad is here at my house until Mom is discharged from the hospital and is in good enough shape to care for the both of them.

His nervousness is about to drive me up a wall, but I have GOT to be understanding about it. He has a mental illness. He doesn't do this to annoy me. He just craves structure so much that any little change to his routine throws him for loop. I don't have to ride the loop with him. I need to remember that.

We are a week behind on laundry and kitchen duty. At least mom is well enough that I feel I can leave her alone at the hospital. This will allow me the time to get caught up at home -- especially since my sons are both capable of assisting in all aspects of housework.

I just hope Mom's surgery for the kidney stone removal goes well. The blocked bowel problem resolved itself! Hooray. No surgery was required for that. She just needed lots of meds to keep the pain and nausea at bay.
