Time keeps getting away from me. And since AOL did away with their journals I really have not been much into on line journaling! It is hard to keep up with others without alerts.
Bethany got her cast off last Friday and is doing well.
My mom is doing much better too.
Bethany and I had really bad week, Probably the worse week of the year, hope never to have another week like it EVER!
Bethany came home from school on Monday and said "Mommy, Maddy's daddy died!" I said "Maddy who?" she does have a few friends named Maddy, BUT I just knew what was coming next. "Maddy R, mommy!" I said "OH MY GOD!" I was in shock! I had to wait and call Maddy's mom after I was done work! I asked her if I heard was true! She said it was and I cried, (I still cry re-telling it). I told her I was so sorry! I asked her if there was anything we could do for her, she said NO BUT if there was anything she could do for us, her husband was such a giving man she wants to keep his memory alive and do for others as he had done! Then she asked if we could bring Bethany over as Maddy was asking for her. It's so sad he was such a good man. He was a police officer, actually a violent crimes detective, he served in dessert storm. His viewing was huge! I never saw such a large veiwing. There were changing of the gaurds and police horses. He loved Journey, they played Journey at his veiwing.
It was so sad. My heart aches for his wife and children! He is going to be missed!

Lots going on here lately that keeps me busy. Having lots of changes done to the house, new couch! Took all the wall paper down going to paint soon!
Going to get a new chandler for the dinning room! My old was is just that old and icky gross looking!
For those who don't read my private J ( not that I write there a lot anyway!) My mom (Jane) is still in the Hospital ... She is now in her third hospital ( moved yesterday) and has been there one day and is already showing signs of improvement! My mom is finally coming out of it and talking, she told my Aunt and Uncle( who have been acting as POA (power of attorney) for her ) that the second hospital ( the one she just left yesterday was treating her horrible they were mean and cruel to her and were not helping her at all! She finally is talking and remembers everything! She asked about me and my sister something she has not done since she went into the first hospital back in Aug!
She was moved to the new hospital (in Philly) to have a treatment called Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)... it is a treatment for depression that uses electricity to trigger a seizure and is suppose to get her out of this deep depression that she has been in) ... I know times have changed BUT this is what her mother (my grandmother)died of in 1973. They do things differently now, BUT it still has us nervous Please Pray that it works for her and everything goes well! We may be going down to see her this weekend!
Bethany gets her cast off tomorrow! Can you believe it, it's been 4 weeks already!

Our Weekend
WOW what a long weekend! Saturday and Sunday Bethany and I had to get up at 5:30 am each morning be out of the house by 6:30 and at competitions by 7:30. Then we were there till 4:30 in the afternoon! Talk about tired! And day light savings didn't help! My enternal clock then ahd me up at 4:30 am on Sunday!
Bethany's squad came in third in her division on Saturday and won a medal, then on Sunday her squad won a trophy! Not sure what it was for though, it was SO loud I missed what they said it was for!
The first day I forgot to take the camera but there was one there that was taking pictures non stop .... Got a real good one of Bethany! Talk about prefect timing!
I am trying a picture but it doesn't look like it is working! Will try again later.
Then Sunday I took my camera but from were I was on the bleachers they looked like ants! The first school was way to small to hold over 600 cheerleaders and their families! The second school was much bigger and there were even more Cheerleaders on Sunday, 800!
I hurt my back over the weekend! Not sure what I did, BUT I hurt it even more yesterday! And my back has not hurt in over a year!
Bethany gets her cast off in 10 days! BOY time flys!
I will try to post the picture again.... Nope it won't let me....
Sorry!
Well my day care kids are napping I think I am going to take some tylenol and go rest too!

Where did the time go?
WOW I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted last!
Times has gotten away from me!
It's been crazy busy here and I don't see it letting up anytime soon!
Well cheerleading is winding down so maybe it will slow down soon!
Bethany is/was doing fine with her arm! Then yesterday we were at her exhibition and when she was doing her interduction HELLO MY NAME is BETHANY! She lost her footing and went down! (I saw it coming). She went to her AC and then I went down from the bleachers, she was in tears but also kept saying she wanted to go back and dance with the girls. I thought we were going to have to go back to the ER her hand looked swollen again, BUT I gave her some medicine when we got home and put ice on it, She seems ok today!
We have a game today, the last one for the season , I told her to do a different "HELLO" jump today! Wish us luck! I hold my breath every time now!
Tomorrow we have the halloween parade, then she has 2 more practice nights, (tuesday & WED) Thursday is the fall fest at the school, friday night is actually going to be NOTHING and then Saturday and Sunday is competition. Then football is over!
I bought a new couch yesterday, it was more then I really wanted to pay, BUT I have NEVER had anything brand new! David never bought me anything new, excpet our bed! It's a sectional with a chase on the end and 2 recliners... It's not the one I really really wanted BUT the one store was giving me the run around about the one I really wanted! So I went to a different store, although I was not happy the way we were first treated when we walked through the door (ignored) and funny thing bethany saw one of those sheeps from the commercial and asked if they were for sale and the sales man walks right by us and says "there not for sale" he wized right on by and didn't even ask if we needed help! So after a while I saw this guy pop out of the break room and I asked him he if worked there and when he said yes I said "well can you assist me?" LOL... Guess I didn't look like I belonged there or something... Wasn't wearing cowboy boots or a cowboy hat or sporting a nascar jacket... He aplogized for not greeting us at the door and not helping sooner!
BUT he asked when I needed the couch! I told him "yersterday" and soo it is coming tomorrow!
Last night I bought the New AC DC CD... LOL say that 10 times real fast!
Now I have to load it to my new phone! WOW I think they are better now then they were back in the day! Guess they are like a bottle of fine wine! :) It's hot!!!!
Got to rap it up BOO is a pain in my butt.... LOL he is bugging me to go on, he bought a new game and wants to play!

More on Bethany
Just some thougths from some comments I received in my last entry!
Sorry I don't remember who said WHAT...
But one about the 911 dispatcher and staying calm, She is real close to Bethany she loves Bethany the most out of all her daughters friends, it was dark at the time and she was just as scared as I was! BUT she was calm when she got here to the house it was just that first call!She seemed scared. She is a good person.
I went to Bethany's practice last night because I was told I had to sign a accident report, When I got there the Head coach or so called director of the squads when I asked about the accident report said there wasn't one, another AC (assistant coach) looked at me and rolled her eyes... She was in the middle of filling it out, (I didn't know that and the eye roll was not at me) When the Head coach walked away I told the AC I thought there was one and she said there is, then she made a comment in so many words that the HC was a bit ditzy. She said she was filling one out now!
The HC changes the rules as she goes along... She told Bethnay's coach that any girl that misses 3 games is out for the season, Bethany's coach says to the HC "your daughters have missed 4!" She changes the subject... It's ok for her girls but no one else! If the girls NOW are 5 minutes late to a game they use to have to sit out the 1st quarter, NOW they are not allowed to cheer the whole game if they are late!
She said next yr she is going to split the squad up into 2 parts one for games and one for competitions... UMMM some girls (Bethany) Wants to do both!
She told Bethany's coach that girls that are late to games will be written up, Bethan't coach reminds her that her daughters are late and she changes the subject!This HC is getting on a lot of peoples nerves!
Bethany went to practice last night and the girls gave her a card! They were talking again at one point and the the teen AC told them they had to do push ups and Bethany pipes up CAN I DO SIT UPS? and the AC said YES. DUH! That girl never came over to me once to speak to me! AND Bethany got the spirit stick too! I have not seen that thing put once the whole season!
This morning Bethany went to school and about a half hour later she got a balloon bouquet delivery from her squad! She will be excited when she gets home!
And WOW I didn't realize that a buckle fracture is the same as a break the DR didn't explain that to me! Her one little friend keeps telling everyone that it isn't a break, when someone would ask Bethany her friend would answer for her!
I will check out that one web site and read more about the type of fracture Bethany has! Thanks for leaving the link in the comments in my last entry!

Bethany update
I took Bethany to the orthopedic Dr this morning, she got a bright orange cast! (Halloween).
The coaches who made the girls run(I knew this, just forgot to mention it in the last post) were the teen coaches... And they made them run the extra lap because some were talking! When the adult coach found out what had happened she told the teen coaches that they are NEVER to do that again! Her coach called me this morning to see how Bethany was, I told her and then mentioned that the coaches should not have done that, that if they really want them to run that extra lapthey really should wait till the following night when it is still light out! She agreed and said it would never happen again.
Bethany's friends mom called me this morning after my entry to see how Bethany was and to tell me what really happened.
BUT here she first tripped over a sewer pipe sticking out of the ground and went airborne , J said the girls said it looked like she was doing all sorts of flips and cart wheels, that, that would explain the scraps and scratches and bumps and bruises on her knees, head and elbows and ribs! The she fell into the drain ditch not off of a curb.
Bethany is OK now, some pain! BUT she wants to go back tonight, She wants to be with the girls and see what she can do! I called the mom coach and she said that was fine that she could try , BUT if she can't then she doesn't have to.
Her Dr said she can still cheer BUT the competition would be out since she is a spotter. She can still go to competitions and hang out though!
I may go to practice tonight!
The head coach of all the squads is suppose to call me to fill out a accident report she has yet to do so! I may see her tonight then!
