February is Valentine's Month.
It also is Groundhog's day tomorrow.
Plus tomorrow is also my daughter Kristin's birthday.
Those are the events that I know happen this month. It's the unknown ones that decide what else February has in store for our family.
Status of Jim's Health
For those of you who aren't aware, Jim was transferred from Carbondale Memorial Hospital to the Oak Grove Rehab and Skilled Care facility about a month ago. It is expected that he will be there for three months at the least. They are working with him to build up his strength, energy, and stamina. Because the doctor's couldn't identify what caused him to lose over 100 lbs in a year (without trying), they finally decided to put in a feeding tube so he would get a high caloric diet to put some more weight on him. It's hard to tell if there is any progress.
The Girls and Me
Beth and Lil are doing well at school. Bethany was on the honor roll in December. Each girls has pretty much carved out their activities, and the friends who they spend the most time. I'm still a 'taxi-mom' driver; but, I must say it is getting less because of better planning.
I've been on the go, running between Jim and the girls' activities. It's hectic, and I have a hard time finding my own space and personal time. It doesn't take much for my body to crash and say it's enough already! But, I regroup and the next day I'm off and running again.
Isabella
Our sweet kitten has turned into a cat. She is in heat! Oh my, such meowing and murmering. I made an appointment for her to be spayed next week. I hope we all can wait until then! Especially Isabella.
Facebook
Old friends and faces are turning up from all over the place. I can't believe I have 260+ friends! It has been a substitute for my social life. That's getting pretty bad, right? Well, I feel more in touch. Living in Southern Illinois hasn't exactly enriched our social life. If you haven't already joined Facebook, here is my page and you can start from there: http://facebook.com/?ref=home#/mari.hurt?ref=name .
So, that's it for today. Not sure when I'll post again, but check back, it may be sooner than both you and I think!
