2 MORE DAYS FOLKS

WHEEW!!!!! The holidays are finally over. Things are relatively back to normal now. We had the best and yet at the same time the worst Christmas ever. It started out normal enough with Martha dragging me around Christmas eve. Me doing my best to smile and make small talk, all the while just wanting to get home to bed so I could open my presents sooner. Christmas morning was full of awesomeness!!!!! Then the phone call.... I have a very dear friend named Jody. We have been very close for over 15 years, Weddings, kids, outings ect ect.. I have met all of his family on many occasions and he knows all of mine. Anyway his wife called, barely being able to understand her through her tears, as well as the fact that the world seemed to fall out from under me she told me of how Jody's mother was murdered earlier that morning and Jody had just jumped on a flight to Newfoundland to sign the papers to have her taken off of life support! She was home alone with the 3 kids and not dealing very well. What did I say? I don't really recall. I was numb, in a very far away place where nothing made sense (Martha said later that I was very collected and very supportive) That evening we dug some easy to prepare meals and that sort of thing and took them over to his wife who was unable to really cook. Jody returned home on Friday and we were there to greet him. Many hugs TONS of tears later, we left. I still feel like I did not do enough. Anyway just one final point on this subject, We had all known for a very long time that this filthy bastard of a boyfriend had been very abusive. However this angle stuck by his undeserving side always assuring us that he could change and "it's only bad when he drinks". and she paid the greatest price of all. This is way to prevalent in this world and it kills my soul. I have worked with the children of these people and even that was too much after 5 years. Stop people and think!!! Are you treating others how you wish to be treated?

Anyway on a lighter note, Martha has begun to experience cravings. Now most women crave food? Right? Martha is craving VIDEO GAMES!!!! Yes any of you that know Martha know very well how she detests theses "mind rotters and belly growers" but seriously she even went out and purchased a game cube!!! Man I love her, all cuddled up on the couch in her jammies, cursing a blue streak at the TV claiming that it cheats worse than I do!!! She is feeling good and is not as tired anymore. On Wed. we get TO SEE THE BABY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOO

I will scan the ultrasound pic. and post it the second I get home!!!! Wholly crap this is gonna be awesome!!!!!! Benson is good very tiered as we had lots of trips to the dog park. Well gotta run...Oh ya stupid Davey. My Mom is in the hospital with a yet to be dertermind illness. I pray it is nothing, but I must go visit.
