The Waiting...2003-09-11 - 3:00 p.m. Yeah, it's been a while... Kind of in a blah mood today for various reasons, but the main one is that Kurt got a call from his sister yesterday saying he should get his ass to Florida ASAP. They thought his mom had a day or two left. Monday she seemed fine on the phone, then Tuesday she wasn't making a whole lot of sense. She's been on more and more morphine... Wednesday Kurt got home from work around 2:30 or so and by 4 we were on our way to O'Hare so he could catch the 6:45 flight to Fort Myers. He called me last night around 11:30 from his mom's - she was not well at all. Staring off into space, not moving or talking or responding to anyone. He says her skin's starting to change color. Her breathing is labored, and she's having bouts of apnea. It sounds like the entire family is praying for God to take her and end her suffering. What a sad sad house right now... Once I get "the call", I'll make flight arrangements for the kids and me and head down there. Last night I took Cam out driving. Did I tell y'all that he got his permit? Yes. Lucky me. In all honesty though, I thought I would be way more worser driving with him. He'd been driving over the weekend with both Krissy and Kurt. Neither one gave a glowing review of his driving, but last night he really didn't make me as nervous as I thought he would. We went all around the neighborhood, and then ended up at my ex in-laws, of all places. We drove by and they were both sitting on the front porch so we stopped and talked with them for close to an hour... Fun. Tonight I go for a haircut. I should probably do my nails tonight as well - they look like hell, but I don't feel like going for a manicure so I guess I'll just redo them myself. Guess I'll go shopping tomorrow night for a black dress. Something tells me I'll be needing it very soon. Sorry I don't have a more up-beat entry for ya... Take care, everyone. Hasta. Looking back...
