“The poetry is all in the anticipation, for there is none in reality” ~~Mark Twain

*singing* ~~ "Anticipa-a-tion, it's making me wait!"

Anyone else remember the old Ketchup commercial? I am sure that I am dating myself here... but

So, after two weeks of doing the wet to dry soaks, re-wrapping, waiting, soaks, re-wrapping and waiting some more... we have a doctor's appt this evening to find out the outcome of our two weeks wait.

Kyle's finger doesn't look a whole lot better to me, in reality, however, I do believe that the doctor might see some change - for the good, I hope.

Kyle is so very excited! He said yesterday that people will come up to him and say, "Hey, did you get your finger cut off yet?!" and he always asks them the same thing... "Why do you seem so excited about this?"

Of course we don't want it to come to that, but at the same time, I believe we have a long road ahead of us, possibly with some sort of therapy involved.

He has missed all of his reg. scheduled AYSO seasoned games and is very upset at me for not allowing him to play soccer, even though there was the chance of more trauma to that finger. Of course, I am the bad person in this scenario, isn't it always the mom?

Kurtis, my silent child, seems to be going through some rough times lately. He is unemployed, is struggling and going to school. Finances aren't that great and neither is his self-respect, or so he says.

I hate it for him. I don't know what to do, the economy sucks lately and jobs are few and far between especially when you are limited due to a school schedule.

I hope he can work things out soon and be a happier 21 yr old. He should be enjoying these years. I love him and miss him so much that my heart aches at times, just thinking about him. He doesn't realize he is just as important in my life as my other two, he just chooses to not be a daily part.
I wish only the best for him.
*singing again* "My wish, for you, is that life becomes all that you want it to..."
(rascal flatts)

*sigh* With Brittany getting a report from the doctor that there might possibly be a small chance that there will be something wrong with the umbilical cord, Kyle's finger and Kurt's situation... what's a Mom to do except what she does best...
worry and wait. *! Anticipation !*
