too funny

I even made a typo in my post about typo's!!!!

Ha!!!!

typo's

I am a good speller but I notice I make soooo many typos....I type too fast and never spell check or preview........

...so forgive me but I time is precious and I can't be bothered to go back and edit ;) So forgive me my mistakes :)

There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of
them

. -Sylvia Plath



I am feeling better now....I soaked in the bath with some of the unschooling magazines R gave me and relaxed...now I'm out and Lloyd has made me a mug of ovaltine to help me (hopefully) sleep better tonight.

We went to Costco this evening. I really wasn't in the mood but we went anyway. While Lloyd was paying I walked to the exit and sat by the door watching the veay rain....it hasn't rained that hard in a long time and it was wonderful.

Driving home in it wasn't so much fun - you could hardly see in front of the car. Nasty!

We got home and unpacked the groceries and then I climbed into the bath....

I haven't figured out my feelings about this mornings news yet. I'll write about that tomorrow.

The good thing about days like today is that I know that tomorrow is another day...tomorrow will be a better day. Tomorrow I will be my happy usual self again....

And tomorrow is friday :) the start of the weekend and Lloyd will be home early :) another week closer to his time off!!!

.............And life goes on ;)

Is it really only lunchtime?

Its been a looooong morning. It's 12:30 but feels more like 5pm....Lloyd won't be home for hours yet and it's grey and rainy outside too........fab day - NOT.

I phoned my Mum to tell her about Mervyn...thought she'd want to send a card or something........

The girls have been making more paper bag puppets.....and also Fathers Day cards. The boys watched Trinidad play England in the World Cup. Maybe it was fate that Trinidad played England on the day Mervyn died. Actually a shame they lost.

When someone dies you are supposed to feel sad for them and for those left behind....which I do of course....but you are also expected to think nice thoughts of the person who has died....and that is what I struggle with. I don't have much good to say about Mervyn. The only good thing that I could maybe mention is that he introduced me to the idea that no one has ever landed on the moon........and also that he used to bring me sugar cake.

I haven't told the children yet...so thats hanging over me like a dark cloud. I have to tell them but something is stopping me and I don't know how to tell them or what to say or how they will react. My head hurts and I feel crappy and I am sooooo tired from several nights of no sleep......and I just don't know how to tell them their Grandad has died. This isn't like me at all...I'm normally such a together person.

Mervyn

I just heard my FIL died from complications in surgery this morning.

Not sure how to sort this out in my brain. Feel like I have been slapped and not sure how to react or what to do.

Very weird.

Will write more later.
