What’s going on in My Domestic Church – the feeling sorry for myself edition

If you’re not interested in reading a good whine – best to skip this post.

Starting with my mother – She was hospitalized Sunday night.(March 29) They know she has a bladder infection, but being dehydrated probably helped facilitate that. Being in her own waste for 13 hours didn’t help much either. It was great to see her in her hospital room though. I feel better knowing that she is clean, dry, and most importantly, safe. I spoke with her doctor and the care planner. They also took her for a CAT scan yesterday to rule out stroke. If she can be in there for three midnights (and she has already been in for two and I haven’t heard any talk about discharge yet) then she will be eligible with Medicare for 20 days of nursing home care. That would be great! They could keep an eye on this nasty decubitus ulcer which is very worrisome, as well as physical therapy and occupational therapy. From there we can figure out if we should stay in the nursing home, go to assisted living, or independent living with a home health aid, or even hospice.

Next up – EFC and my father’s estate:

The attorneys for my father’s estate left my husband a curt e-mail that they have reached a decision. Nothing in this case has ever gone well for us, so I expect my EFC will get to keep the money she embezzled and we’ll probably get 2/3 of the crappy leftovers. I hate New Mexico. I vow to never ever set foot in that state again for as long as I live.

Our homeschool high school…sigh. Not passing that CLEP test really knocked the wind out of MY sails. I was really feeling bad about it but I brought it up to my Yahoo CLEP group and got a little hand holding along with a kick in the butt to keep going. So I think I will have Sam continue with History II, and give him a plan to keep up with History I until he can retake it in September. I’m also moving on to Biology. The deal we made was to concentrate all on one subject, take the CLEP and then focus heavily on history for the first part of the year, and Science of the second. We’re going to start Biology and keep on it until September, but I’m also going to have him start History II.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen
