Got My Baby Back, Baby Back

Got My Baby Back, Baby Back - Home!

Yes folks! That's right, he is sittin' next to me. Far cry from my last post right? Yeah, well, turns out the company lied to him. They told him they had a solo driving position available, and then when they got to the school, he was told he had to do the owner/operator, meaning, BUY a truck, and run his OWN BUSINESS, or he would have to drive teams. Some of you are saying, "What's wrong with that?" Well, have you every stayed in a place the size of a bathroom with someone for MONTHS on end? Not cool. Plus, he wouldn't be able to come home as often.

So... he decided to come home. But we are broke folk, of course, so I decided to leave and go get him. From here in Alabama, to Dallas, it took me 11 hours. I am GOOD right? That's right. No, but yay! I got him home. He's not allowed to leave again. Turns out he can't do any other companies, because he didn't finish this school. Figures. So we are looking. He's happy to be home. We just got back about an hour ago.

Oh, and for those of you who are readin my blog, Tiffany, you rock. Thanks for the email babe. You made my day, and made me feel like I have a good friend in you. And I really, really appreciate it. I don't think you know how much.

Take care all. He's home! YAY!

Caregiving For A Parent

Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 acinar carcinoma pancreatic cancer a while ago. Acinar carcinoma only affects about 4% of the population with pancan. Even after treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, they had only seen a few cases and even with treatment her tumor was growing. She had the whipple in 2019. Fast forward to today, she’s been living with me and my 8 year old son (The Boy) for about 2 years now and it’s been back and forth from Northern Alabama to Atlanta every other week. That stopped when they said the treatment wasn’t working. They sent Mom home. She did great for a while, but she’s slowly getting weaker and weaker and after a fall last night we made the decision that she won’t be moving around the house anymore. Thank God for Southern Beacon hospice. We’ve got a wonderful nurse and everything we need so she can stay in the bed. Yall, she’s so tiny. I can see every ligament on her poor little body. This woman has had cancer like 4 times. She’s a damn troop...

Don't Ignore The Pain of Infertility

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week and the fine people at RESOLVE have challenged Bloggers to write a blog post with the theme of “Don’t Ignore Infertility”. In your life, in the lives of your family and friends, don’t ignore infertility. The words that so make so many of our hearts drop to our feet are: “Just relax, it will happen” and “Just trust God’s will”. These (and others) are phrases that I can’t stand. They are meant to be helping words. Kind words. Words to uplift and give encouragement. And yet as quick as they are spoken, they cut to the quick and cause resentment, anger and bitterness. Some people experience infertility and never have biological children. Others have children and experience infertility after that, called secondary infertility . Either way, it hurts. There is no cure, and the best that we can hope for is to find some other (albeit very costly) way to get pregnant or have that child we dream of. I got married last week to a wonderf...

Losing Mommy Hit Tonight

I had an emotional evening with everything going on with my Mom. I started crying and Myles grabbed my hand and said, “come with me.” He led me to Mom’s room and said, “She’s still here Mom. Go hug her.” So I did. And cried, and loved on her. Myles said “hold on,” and went out to grab my phone. He said, “ you guys need a picture “. Y’all, it took me holding her and all her strength to sit up in bed. Then Myles took the photo of me and my Mommy. When I started crying again he told me a joke to make us laugh. He is wise beyond his years. Mom, forgive me for posting the photo.
