On the Half Shell – Living in the Raw

Yes. I’m back after a briefly long absence. I spent the week of Spring Break (week of March 12) doing things I WANTED to do. Cade was with Yaya and KPop, and Miller was with his dad and getting to see precious Ms. Marion. :). Joy and I spent a couple of days together that week rearranging and redecorating (only a couple of new things) our den. Then I spent a few WONDERFUL days with Sharon in Oxford. We didn’t do much, and it was GLORIOUS. We went to bed two nights at like 8:00!

Last week was a pretty normal week—until it wasn’t. I had Cade and Miller through Thursday, and then Miller went to his dad’s, and Cade stayed home with his mama on Friday. Friday night, severe weather/tornadoes ripped through parts of the Mississippi Delta, starting with Rolling Fork. Then on to Silver City and further north. It was terrible. William’s (former son-in-law) parents live in Silver City, and their home suffered severe damage. They were not harmed, but there were lots of fatalities and many casualties. Aside from that, Cade started running fever on Friday. Went to the doctor on Saturday and was diagnosed with Hand Foot Mouth. He has had the absolute worst case I have ever seen. I feel so bad for him, and I would have done anything to take that for him. Today is Wednesday, and he is still home with his mama. We have also been spreading Pink Eye around. Can’t get rid of it. I said yesterday that we needed a ritual purification or perhaps an exorcism! Joy wants to come and do a “ritual saging”. UHHHH NO, Joy. Thanks anyway. I don’t need any weirdo spirits hanging around here now or ever. 🙂

It had been really warm the last week. Yesterday and today are seasonally cool and pleasant. It has been fantastic. I wish it was like this always.
