No idea of what is going on

Well, today started out fairly decent.  Sun shining, light breeze what more could you ask for.

Arlen's dad is in the hospital in Souix Falls, and doing okay for now.  They transported him by helicopter from Marshall.  The biggest problem with all of this is Arlen's younger brother.  What an idiot.  Didn't let anyone know to begin with that Allen had been taken to the hospital, won't call anyone to keep them informed as to what is going on.  Jan (Arlen's sister) called out to Souix Falls to see how their dad was doing and the nurse informed her that while they were doing a procedure they almost lost him and didn't her brother call and let her know.  Jan went out there yesterday to see Allen and to find out what is actually going on.  They intubated Allen to help him breath and did a broncospopy to suction out all the phlegm and gunk from his one lung.  He was alert and in a good mood, couldn't talk of course because of the breahing tube.  They think they may be able to remove that today sometime.  Hopefully Jan got it set up for the hospital to notify her of things.

Not realy sure what Duane's motives are for keeping everyone in the dark about all of this, but no matter what they are, in my opinion they are totally selfish.  This way he can come off the big shot and go around saying that no one else cared enough to call or visit.  What a crock. The boy needs to get a life of his own and get it figured out that at the age of 47 maybe it is time to cut the umbilical cord.

Okay enough ranting and raving.

Got laundry started, not that I have a lot of it to do, but always nice to get it out of the way.  Still have to do dishes.  Why is it that those 2 household chores never seem to be completely finished?  You think you are all done doing laundry and then at the end of the day, BAM, there's more dirty clothes.  Dishes, after you get all done washing them, you look around, dirty glass or silverware that you missed.  Just think if a person was rich enough you could throw away the clothes and dishes and just buy new every day.  Although if you were that rich you could afford a maid to do all of the menial chores.  Ah, if wishes were fishes and all that good stuff.

Went garage saleing over the weekend.  Got some good stuff.  A kitchen sink with faucets- free, a car seat for the little miss, a spring horse - $1.00, a potty chair - $1.00, a new bed - $25.00, a large roaster - $2.00, a picture for the living room - $1.00, a whole bunch of tupperware - $2.00, a shredder/slicer attachment for our mixer - $3.00, a mini ice cream maker - $2.00, I think that is pretty much it.  Didn't really need the bed, but the wood one we have is in need of a re-finish and some light fixes.  The kitchen sink is a hair bigger than the one we now have, but the faucets aren't made from plastic like the one that is now in the kitchen. 
The spring horse we got just to have it here for the little miss.  Hope she likes it and isn't too afraid to sit on it and bounce.

Well, that's the long and short of what has been going on here since the last time I sat down and wrote anything.  Have a great day!
