More random tidbits.
Bill had a visit to the cardiologist on Thursday. He had an echocariogram, a stress test, and this morning a doppler of his carotid arteries……all of which where normal. Officially.
At this moment, he is seeing a neurologist. I was supposed to go to this appointment….instead, here I sit, with Mia in my lap running a 104 degree fever, hallucinating. Hence, my non-presense at a particularly important appointment.
Bill has been told by me, his anxious wife, that he must regurgitate every word the neuro doc utters. There will be no guttural grunts or “I don’t knows” allowed in his explanation of the appointment to me later today. Men…..if only their communication skills could go beyond “it was fine”, “I don’t know”, “whatever” or the occasional fart.
Now I must toot my sons horn. A few weeks ago, Bill had him mow the lawn, and afterwards, because he did such a good job, Bill paid him $5. We normally do not pay our kids for chores around the house, but Bill knew he was saving for a particular object, so he paid him a bit.
Saturday, I mowed the part of our lawn that is on a very dangerous incline, and Cory mowed the rest. It was hot, and we were both dripping sweat. I came inside for a drink, then sat on the back porch to wait for Cory. He came around the corner, shirt soaked in sweat. Bill met him in the drive, with his wallet out, and Cory shook his head and waved his hand in dismisal, refusing the money.
I love my first born. He is turning into quite a nice young man, doncha think?

Thank you for making the Blogger world a wonderful experience!

It’s tough to be torn between two people who both need you, isn’t it? Hope Bill does well and Mia feels better (Jodi too!)
Sounds like Cory is turning into a fine young man.
I hope this is a less stressful week for you.
Cory sounds like an awsome young man
A very nice young man indeed.
Good kids come from good parents. So, good job, guys.
Awww – what a great young man. Totally confirms what a great job you are doing.
Well, my first born would have snatched those 5 sawbucks out of Dad’s hand so fast he would have wondered if they’d even been there to begin with. Sigh.
Cody sounds like a dream.
