Today the oldest has Field Day at school, he’s super excited. He’ll be competing and collecting ribbons from 8:30 until 2pm. Tomorrow the youngest has his big day and the oldest, due to his good grades, gets to help supervise. Mom and I will try to attend as much of each day as possible.
Yesterday the misses doctor called and told her to step up her medication as she needs to get ahead of the pain. So last night I made sure she was taking a pain pill every 4 hours and then again at 5:30 this morning.
I have more phone calls this morning, what’s new. We did receive a notice yesterday that the company (their attorney) the misses used to work for is contesting her medical assessment and wants her to go see their doctor. We may just have to get an attorney, something we had hoped to avoid.
On a more somber note, there were four more attempted abductions of kids yesterday, unbelievable. One in Arvada, about 5 miles north and one on Kipling and C470, about 5 miles south. The other two were across town. I honestly don’t know what this world is coming to. It seems that the incident a few weeks ago has brought out all kinds of predators. Maybe it’s the same guy. On top of that 5 people were murdered yesterday and then the place set on fire. As I said before, I know this happens everywhere but there is more of this going on than usual. In fact the paper said today that violent crime is up nationwide for the first time in 20 years. They’re attributing it to the bad economy. It doesn’t surprise me at all.
I need to run as it’s trash day and the oldest guy wants to go early to help set up at school for the big day. We had 5 kids come home with us yesterday as 2 different family’s had asked if we could take a kid or two home with us for awhile as they were busy. Being the good friends we are, we (the misses) said yes.
We had a couple of big pieces of our cottonwood tree in the back yard come down in the wind the night before last. Our neighbor had a huge, probably 50 or 60 feet high, tree come down onto his house blocking both cars from getting out of his garage. The wind was pretty bad. We also had the furnace serviced yesterday and found out our humidifier was never working. It’s working now!
The misses and I are on a mission to clean out the house and de-clutter. She’s convinced that we have a musty smell due to all the clothes we have stored upstairs. She could be right! This will have to wait until the weekend.
Stay positive, stay healthy, and most of all stay safe. God Bless
