it's 4:30 and the 3:00 drop off of the boys has not occured yet as has not the appearance of the yard man. Oh well, at least the whites are oh, so white since i bleached them and the washing machine is going and all of the clothes are put up or sorted that have already been washed and dried. I have two more washes waiting on the floor of the laundry room and one going through the wash cycle and one in the dryer as i write. So life is going on. i took a nap for about two hours or 1 and a half so i feel very rested a ready for the boys.

They just arrived --4:30--ran inside the house with the boxed meals from grandy's that their mother sent with them and now they have gone to the four winds to play with frien, ds while Brendan "dines" with his grandy box in front of the tv. They are so precious and i'm sure i will hear about their week end as they get ready for bed tonight. They will be home at 6 from being with their friends. I'll fix a small supper for them and then our routine will begin again.

Michael works today, monday and wednesday. He is still, based on his knowledge of his injury, thinking that he will have to have surgery. He said today, if his neurologist says surgery is not necessary, that Michael will get a second opinion. I guess the question now is "when?" I want so badly to come to the big wedding. Pray for Michael and for the perfect timing for this surgery, if in fact, it is necessary. jk
