This past weekend went way too fast!! Saturday we slept in not very late put later than normal anyways.
Cameron and Marianne and their families were up to Des Moines to go to Adventureland. I hadn't planned on going but I was going to be down in Ankeny anyways to go to The Home Depot to pick up the stacking kit for my washer and dryer so I decided to take Mason and go also. It was fun. Long but fun.
Mason and I got down there about 2:30 and we finally left the park at 9:45. Mason was wonderful. He never cried or fussed. He did get a little scared of the raft ride. I was so glad I took two extra outfits for him. We sure used them. We had only been there for about 40 minutes when he spilled cherry icee all over the front of him and after the raft ride because we were all drenched.
We got home very late but Austin wasn't mad because he gets more done while we are gone. I think he was just happy knowing we were going to be coming home that night and it isn't like when I go down to my mom and dads and am always a day late in getting home.
Sunday Austin let me sleep in. He got up with Mason at 7:30 and I don't remember anything else until 9:30. I never sleep that late. Never!! Not even growing up or before Mason was born. I am one of those annoying morning people. No coffee needed.
After I rolled my lazy butt out of bed we did literally nothing. Well I take that back we did hang up a couple little pieces of drywall. Then we went to Wal-Mart and got stuff for the fresh water fish tank. Right when we got back from there we went to a friends house for supper. We will be outnumbered in November when we all get together because Jess is having a little one. For the moment it just feels like we are outnumbered. So after a very noisy supper we had to stop at Wal-Mart again on the way home because naturally we can't remember to get everything in one trip and forgot something.
We finally made it home about 9. We were literally both in bed before 10.

Sleep problems....
I think my sleep problems would work themselves out if the family would just get healthy and stay healthy. So a little update:
Jesse is doing good with the chemo. He did end up shaving his head before the second round and let me tell you he is not the kind of guy that looks good bald. He does say that the lump feels smaller and that he is getting the full use of his arm back with little to no pain. Very good news. We are hopeful that his next ct scan will show that the lump is smaller or even better nonexistent.
And now some not so good news:
Austin's grandma Elaine is going back to the doctor for more test. She had a reproductive tract type cancer several years ago and she is starting to feel the same symptoms. We should know more next week.
Now for the update I have been dreading. Well I guess it can't really be an update if I am as of yet to actually write anything about it so here goes:
Friday the 13th my brother Darin was in Shenandoah and got hit with a tire iron in the face a couple of times. The details are a little sketchy still. He was drunk and doesn't remember a whole lot, as you can imagine. After a fight to even get him to go to the doctor at all he went to another doctor Monday and is now set up for reconstructive surgery on Friday. I have yet to find out he exact extent of his injuries partly because Mom doesn't want to tell me but I will be seeing photos on Saturday. From what I have gathered his jaw, nose and eyebrow are broken and something about his cheek bone. I don't even know what side. I will get clearer explanations when I can corner Mom or Cameron and they can't say they have to get off the phone and hang up on me.
Darin has changed in the last several years and has done somethings that he regrets and hasn't been an angel in the least. He has also done some really good things that seem to be overlooked by a lot of people. As he was sitting in the hospital talking to my mom he said "I'm sure I deserved this for something or another at some point in time." Darin is not my true brother but he is my brother all the same. It just gives me a chill to think that he could actually believe he deserved to be beat that way. No one ever deserves that. No matter how much of a butt head they are;) We are just so thankful he isn't hurt anymore than he is. Things could have turned out a lot differently.
