WittyLittle consider that love it a hug. I am so glad you came and updated us. But whoa! Lots going on. I am sorry about your uncle and the way his wives have treated your family and also for your student.
Heyyyyy! Yep sorry I've been absent again. Thanks so much for thinking of me!!! Life his been going fast and every day seems to be a race to get things done before attempting to get some sleep. How have you been doing??? I'm overdue for a catch up!
Jake has croup and I haven't slept in 4 nights. Though he was illness free for a whole week before that, for the first time since begin September! He ate and drank! YAY! But he also learned to crawl, stand and get himself into trouble every few minutes. I've had to have eyes in the back of my head, and bottoms of my feet Hence the lack of me-time at the moment. He also has serious sleep regression and wakes up every freaking 45 minutes... and refuses to nap. AAAAAAAAAH. He wants to "walk" 24/7 with us holding him up. When we stop he has a fit. Hilarious. Not
My uncle died last week Saturday. He was an alcoholic who was in the process of divorsing his 2nd wife, who was highly abusive, 24 (at the time they married) and only after his money. There was a big police investigation because they thought she'd killed him, but in the end it was ruled a natural cause. They said it was a heart attack. His first wife (my aunt growing up) and her daughters (who I refuse to call my cousins) had abandoned him in recent years due to his escapades... But they decided to make the funeral all about them. They did not put my mom's or other aunt's name on the grieving card, or mention him as a brother, even though he was living with my mom for 6 months. They made horrible speeches that had nothing to do with the man he was or turned into with his alcohol problem. It was awful.
At the same time I found a paper that is identical to the one I've been working on for the last 4 months, just using different keyterms. Sooooo I have a 6 month set back AGAIN to my PhD while I figure out what I can do.
One of my students was critically injured in Paris last weekend. They thought he was dead because he wasn't in the hospitals, but they had registered him under a false name due to lack of insurance.
So all in all that has been keeping us very busy. Jake will start going to daycare 2 days a week from January so I think that will make life easier. DH and I don't really see each other anymore!
Love tit for checking in with us!
That's a crazy amount of stuff you have going on! Lots and lots of hugs. I hope J gives you a break soon so you can get some sleep. Crazy babies. I'm sorry about your uncle. That funeral sounds horrible

Thanks all. It's "okay". Life has a tendency to cluster with me (always has!) so I know there's bright skies in the direct future First good point was that Jake had gained weight in his checkup last week, so he's going in the right direction! I just wish I had more time to keep up. And some time to do something selfish like finally remove the toe nail polish that has been on since September
