Friday Cocktails – August 5, 2022

Friday Cocktails - August 5, 2022

Friday has rolled around again, which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! We are back home as vacation is over. However, I am doing my best to make it as fun as possible for the kids as things have changed in our situation again. While on vacation, my wonderful ex had me served with custody papers. We had a six month with them and six months with me agreement but I guess he doesn’t like that.

It is something I am doing my best to not dwell on right now. I don’t want the kids to see that I am overly affected by it. Not that I am not, I am but sometimes it is better not give him more ammunition. They talk with him every night and I know that he asks how I am handling things or what is going on.

Roasting Marshmallows

We went camping this week locally and enjoyed every single moment of I must tell you. We were so excited and spent the time just hanging together doing nothing much. It certainly wasn’t like the backpacking we did with my brother and his family. We did have a campfire and make smores which is one of my favorite things to do. Don’t ask me why but I love it. I think it because as a child at my grandmother’s house we would do this occasionally.

    It has been a rough week for me, my son Roy who I live with has been having issues with his heart and has been in the hospital since Tuesday having testing done. The stress test came back positive that areas of his heart are not receiving enough blood flow and oxygen and today they are inserting a catheter to search for any blockages. All I can do is hope that whatever is wrong has a medical solution that will get him back home and back to his usual upbeat self.

    This week, things were pretty calm and wet as it has rained everyday…cools things off but causes a lot of flooding but we have been luck so far in that! Finally getting somewhere with diagnosing my granddaughter’s intestinal problems, the steroids are still kicking my daughter’s behind, finally getting somewhere with me as well and still haven’t found out about my mom’s test, we know there’s something going on but the doctor’s visit got put off! I glad y’all had fun camping, that’s one activity that’s definitely not for me, too hot, too many bugs, snakes, yea, not going there!!! Y’all are so brave!

    Its been pretty hot here this week. My hubby was off work today so we took the kids to the beach & had a great time! Although, my poor hubby is sunburnt now. Eek!

    My week was good. It’s hotter than Hades here…the humidity is awful. Stand outside not moving, and sweat! UGH!

    My week has been extremely busy and frightening. My very pregnant baby sister was rushed to the hospital. Her kidneys started to shut down and she became dangerously sick. Turns out that she might have E. coli. Fortunately, she is improving and the baby is doing well. The complications however, will be keeping her there for a while. So lots of visits ahead and I will be making sure she’s a happy camper.

    My week was super busy lots of running around town and also doing stuff around the house and in the yard and let’s not forget the computer oh the computer.

    My week was good and stressful. Hubby really wanted one more tiny human so I agreed to one more tiny human, but when I went for my scans this week, it turns out there are two tiny humans hanging out in there!

    It was much cooler, so I felt a bit better. Had my 5 year old grandson over for the weekend. I’m pooped, but sated. So much fun.

    Really hot here and I don’t have air conditioning, so I was lethargic and not getting as much done as I needed to
