Frustration....

In the famous words of Isabelle. (Yes, it's now Isabelle. No longer are we allowed to call her Belle. *tears* ) I can't believe it!?!?!?! It's the last day of May.

Frustration defines this last week well. Frustration is....The act of frustrating or an instance of being frustrated.
Frustrate means
To cause feelings of discouragement or bafflement in.
I'm definitely discouraged and baffled by much.

Last week we were told my grandfather is deteriorating quickly. He's 94 years old. Guess these ole bodies aren't cut out forever. The nurses and doctors said probably only 4-6 months left. On Monday he had a problem using his legs. Apparently they think he had a mini-heart attack and it cut off the main artery to his legs. He's doing better now.

Yesterday mom had her CAT scan to see what they are going to do about the cancer coming back. She is to get the results from that scan today. I am so worried about her. It makes me wanna cry some days and just not stop. She isn't old and her grandchildren are so young. All of them have another grandmother but they all live in other countries. This isn't fair to them. It's just not right having to grow up without a grandma to show you how much fun and how interesting grandmas can be.

On the garage front..... Nothing new. The mason was scheduled to come last week and lay the blocks but he never showed up. The contractor said he was going to contact him and see when he was coming out this week.

The most frustrating thing of all is when Isabelle got off the bus yesterday the driver told me that the teachers are going on strike Thursday (yes tomorrow). I can understand that teachers need more benefits and pay and all but why make the kids suffer? To top it off it's "Fun Day" at school and since it's the district having fun day and not the Intermediate Unit it will still happen. Therefore all these kids with disabilities who have worked so hard to achieve a goal of having fun on fun day won't be able to participate.

This also has me frustrated because Gwyn is to be evaluated by the IU on Monday so if they aren't back from strike by then what happens? Her EI services end on July 2. This appointment for Monday was set way back in March. It's not likely they are going to be able to reschedule one in a couple weeks.

It has been a discouraging and baffling week. Hope it turns around soon. Maybe they can extend Gwyn's deadline if they're still on strike?
