MIA
Wow. How fast April got away from me. I can't believe it has been a month since I've thought about the blog. Perhaps I'd be in a better mood if I'd have written. Let's see, what's gone on here since the end of March...
The beginning of April my Grandmother died unexpectedly. It was quite a shock to us all. We spent most of them month in turmoil. This was my step-father's mom, she was older, had had a good life. But still. You don't expect someone that is active and independent to be gone from you suddenly. I think the hardest part was having to explain it to Avery. When Josh's Pap passed away back at Christmas it was after a long drawn out ordeal with illness. Josh just wasn't comfortable letting Avery go to the calling hours. With Grandma Dot, I felt differently. Avery'd spent far more time with her than he had with Pap. And he'd just seen her...she passed on a Sunday night...the previous Sunday she'd been at my mom's house reading him stories and having brunch, just like usual. To me it was important for him to see her. So we took him to calling hours. He took it well. I know it must have been hard for him to understand. He still asks me occasionally if Grandma Dot is still in heaven with our kitty, Maple who passed away back at Halloween. It's a hard thing to face...reopens the wounds with my dad's mom..I still miss her a lot and wish everyday she would have been able to meet both my sons and my husband.
....In happier news around here my semester is ending. I should be all finished by the end of next week. I think my last "official" day is the 13th. I really love school but I'm ready for a break. I feel like I'm totally slacking on my duties at RAK but I'm just worn out. With everything going on after the funeral, I'm just still upset I suppose. That and I had a MASSIVE term paper to turn in for English. I spent weeks researching it and finally got it handed in on Saturday.
Speaking of Saturday...It was Avery's birthday. I cannot believe I have a 4 year old! He's gotten so big on me. My dad got him a Power Wheel Cadillac Escalade for his birthday. Avery LOVES it. If only he could steer it, lol.
Ahh...this is why I haven't been blogging. Talking brings it all back to the surface and I start to feel run down again. I will write more later. I've got pictures to share, and LOs. More soon then.
