Sick Kids- Hope I am not one of Them

I done something I said I would not do today. I had watched kids for the last two years while my daughter Jana went to college. Several times I had to watch more than just Kaylee because one of her three boys would be sick and she couldn't miss college. So I would keep them knowing I would probably get sick. This school year I told her I could not watch the kids because in November Guy and I are going to Sweetwater to stay part of the time. I already have a house there. The house was leased until the end of October so I relented a little and said I would pick up Kaylee those two days a week because she got out before Jana did. Until I leave in November.

Today though two of the boys was sick and I kept them. I didn't want too because I can't afford to get sick. I have mitral valve prolapse and when I am sick I have lots of skips that are not fun. After they left I went and got Lysol spray. I sprayed down the  sofa and the air and everywhere else. They had bad headaches and throwing up and I don't need that in my life right now. So playing the waiting game now to see.

Meanwhile Jana text me and ask if I wanted to go to Wal Mart tonight. I told her I am ready to go anywhere. So I went. Guy is in Midland working so I am kind of lonely so I am just ready to go almost anywhere. I thought he couldn't call because he said there is no phone service out where he is working. He called while we were at Wal Mart and he was on his way back. Lo and behold he was able to talk to me the whole way. I was so relieved. To think of being alone at home and not being able to even talk to him was beyond what I could even imagine.

Usually we can text or call so life isn't too bad like that. Long as there is communication I can handle it. Sometimes he works 30 days straight without even a day off. I don't deal with this alonenesss too well. But somehow so far I have survived it. And I am  a better person for it. It makes me know when we are together it is a great time for us to be together. We also know it won't last long and then we will be playing that waiting game again. While we are together we appreciate the time we have.

Anyway tonight I am sitting here watching "Rizzoli and Isles". I got lots of magazines to read and books to read and shows on TV to watch. And a house to clean. So there is plenty to do.
