Life is funny sometimes

Meme, the grandma in "shuffle days" seems to be more and more fragile by the day. She goes in for a bone scan on Friday - seems her compression fracture is "worsening" and has become "fractures" and they don't know why as she hasn't fallen or had any other trauma to her bones. Taking care of her is a much more arduous task than I initially imagined, and I'm feeling the pressure and strain of it in combination with my 30 hour a week medical assisting job and my 20-30 hour a week medical transcription job. Still, the blessing of the whole affair is there like an underground spring constantly bringing refreshment and music to my soul. Even in her most challenging state, she is a delight and a joy. She is an amazingly courageous and brave woman, and I can't imagine going through this part of my life any other way.

The kids are doing so well! My 14 year old son is getting straight A's again this semester and has had a steady girlfriend for nearly this entire school year, AND he's composing music and sketching and getting along well. My 16 year old daughter is getting straight A's despite repeated tardies of 1-4 minutes to some of her classes. She's working at KFC, and is SO proud to have her own money to manage! And my senior, my 17 year old daughter, is good to go for joining the Navy despite my best and utterly useless logic and reason...I'm sure it's going to be a very helpful opportunity for her :-)

Work is changing, but then I was once told that the only constant is change, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It's ok, actually, as I think the changes are going to bring with them better wages and stability and benefits. So it's all good.
