So much has happend, and the reason I haven't posted in awhile...

My Papa was hospitalized Saturday night with cellulitus, or at least they think its that...his fever was 103 and he had the chills...My pop is a big strong man, hes always been my rock, he is 76 and has had a tripple bypass 8 years ago and I worry everyday that I might lose him.

He stepped in and did all the Daddy things with me, even though he didn't have to. He used to take me with him in his big rig and talk to me all the time. Hes funny and wonderful and os many other things. Seeing my pop in the hospital bed looking so tired and weak was really hard, hes always been the strongest man I know, even at this age he still drives truck when he gets the itch and plows with his tractor, works in his fruit trees, and so on.

Its been hectic and the worry is pretty bad, my grandparents are the glue that holds this family togather...they never give up on any of us, always there when we need them. I spend alot of time with them, we moved to this house so we would be close to them. I love them so much...I know my pop will beat this, he is amazing...

the night before last Alexis and Bradeon stayed the night...I took them swimming and we all had fun, we needed that. When we took them home to the ranch we all got busy working on the race car...then Ken and Larry said they were going to town to get some sponsor money...I asked Ken to please be back early as I didn't feel very good at all...this was at 8...they came home at 11, my headache was so bad that every bump in the road was like a knife stabbing me...I was sick to my stomach and miserable...Ken is usually really good at keeping his word, I am guessing he wasn't last night because he was with Larry, and getting the mony was pretty important, I wish he had left the car so we could have gone home.

As soon as I walked in the door I was sick, then tried to take asprin but got sick again, man my head was so bad, I still feel like crap, but I will survive I guess...I was kind of upset with Ken...I was really upset with him, he could have called to say he would be later or any number of things, but he didn't, I am over it now, I just hate that I was left at the ranch with his sister who was so tired and wanted to go to sleep and Ashley was asleep on the couch there...but life goes on, I know he felt bad and I didn't mean to make him feel worse, but I was just to sick.

Ashley is nervous with school starting back, shes worried she won't be in the class with her friends...shes very very shy and its hard for her to make friends, but her 2 best friends are wonderful little girls, they are straight A GATE students with her and they like all the same things...she knows next year they will be seperated, but 6th grade is a big deal, so I have talked to her about transfering her to a different teacher if they put her away from them...see her school is mostly non speaking english kids that are way below her grade level, and she often gets put in these classes to boost up their over all average...I will not let it happen again...next year I am putting her in a middle school in Clovis...

She is so smart and she gets bored in class when shes not challanged, the teachers used to give her extra work to challange her, but thats not fair as well, that she works twice as hard and gets nothing for it...this school setting sucks hard.

Well my head is pounding and I am just not feeling good so I will fill everyone in later...bye all..
