Yesterday we received a brief update on Lolly, my husband’s Mom. As many of you know, she is quite elderly and receiving help at home in an effort to allow her to stay in her own comfortable environ with her beloved pets. Her case manager sends us updates from time to time and in each one she refers to Lolly as “Mother” or “Mom.” I confess, this affectation really bothers me. As far as I know Lolly only has one living child and I’m married to him. It reminds me of an incident, many years ago, when my family took my Dad out to dinner for his birthday. We were all stretched out along a large table at our favorite Italian restaurant, classic red and white checked ...

I am going to be spending the next 4 days down with my family.  We have the funeral, a memorial, a burial, some sort of party, a church service, probably a circus and I think I heard something about a concert?  I’ve been referring to this extravaganza as funeralpalooza.  I mean really?  4 days? I plan on being the drunk in the corner the whole time.  Who’s going to stop me?  And if they do?  O well wont they feel pretty foolish when I bark back with tails of my husband leaving me for no reason and divorce. …I said I’d work on separating out the crap...

I will miss you always, Grandpa.  You are the funny in my bones.  I love you forever. -Katrinka (Source: B a b y B o u n d) B a b y B o u n d blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2390498 Thu, 07 May 2009 04:42:48 +0100 2390498 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2376917&cid=t_226390_177_f&fid=38134&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbabybound.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F04%2F28%2Fim-not-pregnant%2F OK OK.  For everyone left feeling a bit confused because I told my Grandpa we’ve been planning a baby but didn’t follow that up with “but I seem to kill them accidentally”, no.  I am not pregnant. I wanted my Grandpa to know that we are actually working on it.  There is more to that story, but I’m keeping that to myself for now.  I may let the world in on all the intimate workings of my vagina, but some things just need to be private ya know? Don’t worry world, I will make it very clear when I am in fact preggers.  In fact, you’ll all probably sense something is up without even reading my blog just based on the amount of excitement I’ll be spewing.  Maybe a little extra warmth?  Or a bit of ground movement?  You’ll know.  Belie...

My Grandfather had a massive stroke this morning.  He’s in surgery right now to drain the clot.  I have been told that he can no longer speak, but is in very good spirits and still has a sense of humor (which of course causes me to have visions of a mime performing his best to a crowd of ER onlookers.  And then of course causes me to look up for the strike of lightening that is inevitably shooting down towards me.) I’m at a loss here.  This is brand new territory for me.  All of my Grandparents are still alive.  I saw 3 of them - including the mime - on Sunday.  I am not sure what I should do.  Do I go down there?  Do I wait for an update?  The surgery is suppose to take several hours.  My Mom told me to wait.  ...

I had an interesting observation yesterday at the store.  I had to pick up a birthday card for my Grandpa.  His 82nd birthday was yesterday and we spent the day with him today stuffing our faces at a buffet, trying to beat our personal best on calorie intake, and then wondering the halls of an old people’s hospital retirement community.  I think I hit my fill of old people for at least a month.  My toes can’t really take anymore of those walker wheels. OK my observation.  Anyone else ever notice that there are hardly any Grandpa birthday cards?  Like, there ...

Uncle Jack, Aunt Minna, Grandpa, and the cousins, gathered round the sizzling grille of my childhood summers — all lost. My wife and I had taken the film to a local pharmacy, which was supposed to have sent it to some photo lab for conversion to DVDs. Nobody could tell us where all that brittle celluloid had ended up. We found out about the lost movies a day after Continental flight 3407 went down, just a few miles from the small town in western New York where I grew up. And as the magnitude of the disaster became clear—as the stories of so many bright lives snuffed out unfolded — I began to feel slightly ashamed and foolish....
