I'm thankful that Jingles has a place to stay, and that Tony and his family gave it to him. There isn't much else.
I think my mom is trying to put a dent in my relationship with Tony. I know, no surprise, but she's trying really hard for someone who says she's trying to be nice. I don't think I -can- go into more detail...there's too much. It took us three tries to go to a movie, for crying out loud!
Just about everyone in my family has been sick at some point this week. It started with my grandma, then Katie and Nicole, and Sean and Madison. Now Jessica and Alyssa have it. But at this moment, Madison is in the emergency room. She was doing better; not fussing or crying, so Katie gave her a bath. She was worried, but not too scared, until Grandma told her that that was how Katie acted when she had meningitis when she was a baby. THAT scared her (naturally). So now I'm worried. If Madison does have meningitis, I hope (of course) she recovers unscarred. But then I'm afraid she'll get the migraines that Katie, my mom, and I have. Katie has them because she had meningitis when she was little; my mom has them because she got meningitis right after she had me; I have them because she nursed me until she was diagnosed with meningitis, so it passed it on. So yeah, meningitis can cause migraines later in life.
And now, in a couple hours, we are going to have Thanksgiving dinner with my dad and Tammi. They were in West Virginia with her family on Thursday. I think they're going to do the "every other year" thing. That's okay though; it'll make things easier. The bad thing is, is that my dad is trying to get himself transferred to WV. THAT I'm not looking forward to. He'll expect us to come see him all the time, etc. I just hope not. I'll just hope that he doesn't get relocated; Tammi's family shouldn't be too surprised anyway; she lived here in Louisville (even in Kentucky!) before she ever met my dad! Why should he pick up and move away; he's the one who has kids! And Tony and I talked, and decided against him going to engineering school so that we wouldn't have to move away. All that was for me, so I wouldn't have to leave my family! Grr, why don't people realize the sacrifices -I- make, and at the very least, appreciate them?!?! He could at least acknowledge the fact that I made it, even if he is still going to pick up and move!
All this stress is not good for me. We have one more week of class, and I have a 5 page and a 7-10 page paper to write. I've started neither one. Not to mention all of the regular tests... Yep, I'm gonna have a heart attack. Anyway, until the next time...
