Life Is Always Changing the Rules
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Just how much can a person’s life and lifestyle change? Let me tell you!
When I started this Blog last Fall, I was semi-retired and looking forward to a calm and relaxing period in my life. Then, in January one of my daughters gave birth to our 5th grandchild. What a great day this should have been. However, she could not pass the standard drug test given at the time, so the Department of Children’s Services came in and took over the care of not only this baby; but her other two as well! The baby had to stay under the doctor’s care for an additional week and his two brothers were placed in a safe house. This forced my wife and I to take the DCS to task in court. As a result, we were given the guardianship of all three of the boys, Curtis Jr, Zachary and our newest arrival, Skyler.
Skyler is exactly six (6) months old today and has learned how to crawl just today!
Needless to say, my wife had to quit her job. That meant that I have to come back to rebuild my practice and stay strong in order to raise these youngsters. I am not complaining, mind you as the experience has renewed our strength and vitality. I trust in the Lord not to burden us with any challenge that is too great to bear.
My daughter’s drug of choice happened to be Dilaudid, which I will be writing about shortly in another post. You may want to check out the article as the information is quite startling.
I will be posting here as often as I can find the time. My wife is an early bird and I am a night owl. This works out wonderfully for Skyler and me as I get him on the “second shift”, so to speak.
If you are in the Cookeville, TN area and want an appointment with me, please don’t expect me in the shop much before lunch time as I still have the special running where you make an appointment for an hour session and you get me for 90 minutes for the same price. That means I sometimes don’t get finished till 8:30 some nights.
Further posts will enlarge your knowledge of Reflexology and you will get to know me and how I work. As for retirement, the judge asked me if I ready for this challenge. My response was that I will be 80 when he graduates unless my daughter and her husband can get their act together to reclaim their parental rights. My wife says that retirement is just twice as much husband with half as much money, so I will say that retirement will be when the paramedics come to pick me up whenever I fall.
For now, thank you for joining me and have a great and prosperous day!
