What a Long Day

Today was a long day. We got home from the hospital last night at 2a.m. Amy didn't sleep that well and was up by 6:30. She decided to blog and let me sleep in a little. We went to an Episcopal church. It was a nice church, but it was not quite the right fit for Amy and me. After church, Amy wanted to check on her grandmother. We headed to the hospital, but her grandmother is not doing well. Her kidneys are beginning to fail her. She was able to talk a little bit with Amy and me and said she is ready to go and does not want to prolong her life. She has fought for a long time now. Please keep her in your prayers.

We spent most of the day at the hospital. My parents stopped by. Before leaving town, Amy and I had dinner with them. After dinner, we checked in at the hospital one last time for the night. We had to get home for the shots. The shots were routine tonight. Amy looks so exhausted. She just needs some sleep. It is 8:45, and we have already headed to bed. I just got to bed, and Amy is watching Okie Noodling on OETA. For anyone who does not know, noodling is hand fishing. You have to have a little crazy and a little redneck in you to do such a thing. My noodling career lasted about 5 trips to the river. I had to experience it a couple of times and that was enough for me. Amy carries one of my noodling pictures with me and my friend Chas after a successful day fishing. People who do not know about noodling have to see the picture to believe it. Amy has been begging to go to the Okie Noodling Tournament in Pauls Valley. It is next weekend (the same weekend as retrieval) and Amy wants to figure out a way to go. We will have to see. If it does not work out this year, Amy is already planning the outfits for the twins next year.

There is another doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I am not going to be able to make it. I have a deposition in McAlester at 9:30. I will be leaving the house by 5:30. I am blessed to have a very understanding wife. Today, I am thankful for family. Amy and I are so very lucky to have wonderful families. For today's song, I am going to choose "Mambo Italiano" by Dean Martin. Everyone have a wonderful Monday
