Life is getting to be a bit much right now

I was afraid that I was going to go into labor tonight from the stress of life....

1. Hubby just got a ticket for failure to signal
2. Our fridge/freezer is still on the blink. Part won't be here until anywhere from tomorrow to Tuesday. It's been out for several days already.
3. Still haven't been paid!!!
4. Van is still dead.
5. Mortgage is due.
6. Truck needs some repairs before it will pass safety and IM inspections. Registration expired at the end of LAST YEAR!
7. Got a pretty grim update from my mom about my dad's health.

Am thankful for:
1. Hubby got his driver's license renewed YESTERDAY (it had expired a year ago).

UPDATE ON MY DAD:
Yesterday I had a small ray of hope. Turned out that his legs had been infected and it is called cellulitis. The infection had been going on for more than a year. He was responding very well to the antibiotics. Legs were looking quite normal colored (except for one area on his right leg). We were hoping that perhaps the spots in his liver and pancreas could be infection rather than cancer. He actually ate somewhat normal amounts of food...

Then today happened.

He ate - maybe 500 calories worth of food all day (I actually think it was less). His fever came back this evening. Even though they still haven't received the biopsy results they are calling it cancer and are proceeding with chemo tomorrow. The 2 - 4 "spots" they found in his liver a few weeks ago have now grown into a softball size mass on the right side of his liver.

The logic side of my brain has come to terms with the very high probability that my dad won't be here on earth much longer. The emotional side of me wants to break down into tears just at the thought of him not being here. Logic says it will actually be a "gift" for him to not have to suffer from his dimentia for many more years.

I'm VERY grateful that I have had the opportunity to be with him recently. I got to hug him and tell him how much I love him.

I hope that whenever he does pass (now or 10 years from now) that there won't be any blocks to being able to attend the funeral. I couldn't handle life if I couldn't go.

Dang contractions....
Better go lay down...
