Chicago Chicago

Sam is having some breathing problems so Dr Sood wants us to go downtown tomorrow and get an echo cardiogram. She's supposed to go to school tomorrow, she has a meeting regarding the trip, we are going to Chicago on Thursday for 2 days and she's all worried she won't be able to go to the trip. She went to school yesterday but had to come home early and didn't go today. The ICP monitor showed nothing was really wrong with her shunt, as far as her pressures go.

Alec likes his new school, we have a conference tomorrow at 2:30. He's eating a peanut butter sandwhich at breakfast and supposed to at lunch, we're still working on the lunch one. Caitlin is having fun as an 18 year old but my child support has been cut off 2 months earlier than I thought so the money woes continue, multiplying, never ending. Nikolaas is coming home on Sunday for about 10 days, before he moves to Grandma's cottage on the island and all the fun that entails. Mary Alice, we'll both have kids on boats this summer.

Ok imagine this. Prisoner in cell #1, who was featured on Fox News Channel and CNN as the deranged person trying to burn down a gas station in Redford MI. This guy looks like Leonard, the crazy guy in Full Metal Jacket who kills his sgt then himself. Well, he was back in our jail for court today. He was waiting to go back to the big house when he decided he had waited long enough. He flooded his cell, which in turn ruined some carpet that had just been replaced and also made the ceiling in the garage leak, toilet water all over police cars...not a good thing. We're supposed to check the prisoners every 30 mins. But who has time to do that...When you work the jail, you're also working fire radio and answering 911. When I fed him at about 5, it was dry, by the time I got there at 7pm it was flooded. So I'm sure I'll get written up for this. It just sux....I have a headache...I'm going to bed....



Tomorrow - well really today...Sam is ok, they think maybe she has allergies, her echo came out ok...So we're going to try some sinus and allergy meds for next 4 days then go back Monday and get stitches out and see how she's feeling. So we're heading for Chicago....can't wait..it'll be fun.
