Happy Update Day! May 12, 2008

My SMT is awake and asking for ME!!!!

He woke up around 3am this morning and proceeded to pull his own breathing tube out. I guess he had enough of that! He is doing wonderfully and not on any pain meds.

He asked his brother if I had been there and his brother assured him that I had been there and that I have been calling everyday to see how he was doing. The brother asked if he wanted him to call me and he shook his head yes.

Seriously, folks. I am jumping out of my skin here. He’s awake and wants to see me, and I can’t get up there until at least Thursday evening.

Stupid frakking finals. Grrr.

When I talked to his brother, my SMT was watching Nick, Jr. I asked if he was watching Spongebob and he said that that was what he asked the nurse to put on, but I guess it wasn’t on. God, I love that man. Hee hee.

Ok! Let’s get these stupid finals out of the frikking way!! I have to go see my baby!!!!

To All of You Beautiful Mothers May 11, 2008

Happy Mother’s Day.

May you have a peaceful and enjoyable day with your families.

I think I have a brilliant idea May 9, 2008

Since I am unable to talk to my SMT everyday, all day, like I am used to, I have decided that I will keep a journal type thing for him. I will write down all of the things that I would say to him, just as if we were talking/IM’ing/texting, etc. Then he can read it when he wakes up.

Do you think he would like that? Or is that too much of a girly thing??

I would like your thoughts on this. But, keep in mind, regardless of what you think, I’m doing it anyway. If for nothing else than preservation of my sanity.

Which, I daresay, is slipping.

This is what I’m sayin’ May 9, 2008

I am so totally loving the sounds of Jas.on M.ra.z at the moment.

I’m thinking I will need his new album.

I’m just sayin’

Hurry Up & Wait! May 7, 2008

That’s about all I can do.

My Sexy Mother Trucker is still in the hospital, the ICU, no less. Still sedated. Still stable. I really don’t have any more information than that. His brothers, for whatever reason, are not answering my calls. Apparently, they don’t like outsiders, or I pissed in someone’s Wheaties, or something. Fortunately, the nurses have been friendly and are giving me tidbits. They can only tell me so much, because I am not family. But, even knowing he is stable is somewhat of a comfort.

So needless to say, I am going crazy not knowing everything, not being there, and not being able to talk to him. I am ignoring the drama that started on Sunday, because it isn’t doing anyone any good. My heart of hearts is pretty darn confident and secure, so I am going with that. It will all come out when he is well. Until then, I will remain SMT’s loving & loyal girlfriend.

Depending on how the rest of the week goes will determine whether or not I make a trip up there on Friday.

I feel so helpless. I know that there isn’t anything I can do, really. But maybe just being there, talking to him, touching him, could help? He’s only sedated, not in a coma. He will probably feel and hear something. That could be a comfort to him. I really don’t think that his brothers or his sister hang out in his room with him. Which I think is pretty sad. There is plenty of room in his room that they could sit and be there without being in the way. I don’t think his family is quite right. But that is another deal. Maybe another post? Maybe not. I don’t want to waste precious energy these days.

I just want my SMT to be well and up & at ‘em.

I want him home with me.

Like yesterday.

But, I will just hurry up and wait.

Sexy Mother Trucker Update May 4, 2008

Well, as it turns out, it wasn’t just nothing.

He had an aortic aneurism and basically had to have his heart rebuilt. He now has a mechanical valve and many other ‘fixes’ had to be made. He was in surgery for 8 hours but is now recovering well. Had he waited, and passed those pains off, he would have been dead in about 96 hours.

Today he is recovering nicely. I just got a good report from his brother.

I did go up there Friday night and arrived around 1:30 am, while he was in surgery.

I have so much I need to say, about things not related to his health…but can’t bring myself to put them in print.

Let’s just say, that some drama has started since he has been in the hospital.

My priority is to make sure that he recovers completely, then there will be some serious talking to be had.

An Unusual Request From Kat’s Haven… May 2, 2008

Hi all.

I know that some of you don’t do the prayer thing, but I need your help, whichever way you can spare it.

My sexy mother trucker was just taken by ambulance to a hospital in the St. Louis area. He has been experiencing chest pains that kept worsening.

He is only 34, but as a trucker, doesn’t have the best diet and has a stressful job. Plus, a stressful girlfriend. :p

I kept telling him to try to eat healthier, as best he could!

It looks like I will be taking a road trip in the very near future to collect my sexy mother trucker. So, I, too, will need your prayers/good vibes/whatever.

Thanks.

I knew I could count on you.

Hugs & Humps where applicable.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you… April 29, 2008

…iPod Love.

Isn’t she beautiful?

Of course, she is even more fantastic in person.

I’m just sayin’.

In other news…

I am back from Dallas. We did okay. Not as well as we were hoping for, but we did earn what we got.

We received 2nd place in our division and a stifling 8th in the region.

This, after placing 1st in our division and 5th in the region.

We are representing our region at the small/midsize chorus International competition in July, because of last year’s scores & placement. We have our work cut out for us.

We only have 11 weeks to get it perfect.

Sooo… it isn’t likely that I will be around so much.

I’ll be busier than a cat in a litter box.

I will leave you with that lovely image and say goodnight.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

I will check in when I can!

Just thought I would let you know… April 23, 2008

…that I now have the much longed for iPod. Thanks to my trucker. :D

I am a very happy girl, indeed. I love my iPod. It is amazing.

More so, I love my trucker. HE is amazing. I miss him.

I will get to see him today for a couple hours as he is passing through town. After that, it will be yet another 2 weeks before we can spend any time together. Yeah. It bites. But, such is the life of a trucker/trucker’s girlfriend. Hee hee. I will say, though, that when we ARE together, it is very much time well spent. 

 

I love you, baby.

 

In other news…

 

tomorrow, at the ass crack of dawn, I will be leaving for Dallas, TX for our annual regional competition. I am pretty stoked. Mostly, I am stoked to have my annual ‘vacation’. 4 days without any responsibility, other than owning the song, etc., no children, no bills, no gassing the car, no grocery shopping…nothing.

 

Nothing but singing, friends, drinking, winning, eating and shopping!!! For FOUR days!!

 

Oh, I can’t wait.

I am so overdue.

 

I’ll let you know how it goes when I get back!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

I just wanted to go on record… April 20, 2008

…stating that I feel soooooo stupid.

I found my fricking fracking suitcase.

It was in my closet.

Right under my nose.

The whole fricking fracking time.

Seriously, if it were a snake, it would have seriously bit me in the ass.

A thousand times over.

And then some.

Oh My God.

I need a fricking keeper.

Seriously.
