The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

I guess I am considered old school. I don't have a fancy i-phone or tablet or even one of those Kindles. I have an old laptop. So I'm not able to update my blog as much as I'd like but I think that will be changing soon. A lot has happened since my last post; which seems like there is ALWAYS a lot happening. My husband went back over the road since driving for the same company as I didn't pay the bills. He tried trading the market for a while and, well, I don't need to say any more about that. I had some medical issues which my NEW insurance company Anthem BC/BS considered "pre-existing" so I am saddled with thousands of dollars in medical bills. Just another day in the life of Midwest Lady! I'm still fighting health issues but I'm not seeing anymore doctors until I get help with the insurance.


Over the 4th of July, my brother who now lives in Minnesota near his son visited our parents up in Rochester, NY. My brother had back surgeries many years ago and has been on pain killers since. He is an addict. His health and mental capacities has deteriorated so badly that he is unrecognizable. I haven't seen him since 2002 and although he is only 60 years old, he looks older than my father who is 82. I am sad for him. :(


My new dispatcher has come a long way. He is running me so darn well that I am so dang tired all the time. I guess I should be careful what I ask for, huh? 


I took a jewelry making class and I'm looking forward to being creative again. My only problem is I start projects and never finish them. I get very distracted and unfocused. I wonder if I have adult ADD!


All in all things are quiet around the homestead. I miss my husband but am thankful he is working and I can talk to him everyday. I miss my kids but I don't think they miss me as much. They are all so busy with their lives. I never in a million years thought my kids would be so distant from me. I never hear from them with the exception of my middle daughter. She has issues and needs someone to listen to her about her troubles. I wish with all my heart I could make them all go away.

Till next time!
