20 and a wake up - Part II - Swollen Flower Chili Sause Advise?

Honey, I hope that you are feeling better and that your feet and ankles are smaller and feeling better. I have worried about you so much today. Please take care of yourself. You don't want to come back home unhealthy. The kids and myself are depending on you. Honey, I wish that I could have talked to you today. I really needed some advise. Do you remember the kid from Asheville High that I have been tutoring that his mom kept him coming 2 times a week because his grades went up so much. Well he has been begging me to meet with him one more time before his final exam next week. I have been telling him that I can't because of the kids, and not having anyone to watch them. My mom said she would but for me to take them to Brevard and back and back and back again would use half of the money I made just in gas. So he called me again tonight and said his Mother wanted him to call and tell me that if I would just come in meet with him for an hour tomorrow after school, that I could bring the kids with me and she would play with them in the Lobby while I work with him. It put me on the spot. I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't ask you. The thing is if I do not, and she calls Judi and tells her that I didn't follow through until the end of the semester, it could cost us a lot of money in the future in lost tutoring opportunities for me. I had no choice but to say ok. I hope that given the same situation and I wasn't around that you would do the same. I had to make a judgment call on it, which I hate doing when you are not around. I had no choice but to say ok. It is only for one hour and I can keep checking on them. It is immediately after school tomorrow, so it will not be at night. I will take a little bag with some paper for them to draw on. I hope you will understand.

I have been watering your flowers every other day like you said. They are still alive and blooming, can't say the same for the grass. Your red flower looks a little sick though. Is there any medicine I should put on it. What if I crush up a nexium and mix it with the water..LOL. I fixed spaghetti for supper (RAGU). Kimmy hated it. Kevin loved it. Go figure. I was notified tonight by Kimberly that they hate me, and that I am mean, and selfish. LOL. I really wish I had the recipe for CHILI. I hope that when you write again, you will have more time to answer some of these questions.

Honey what is your favorite color car in the world. Not type, just color. I was curious. I love you with all my heart and soul, and I need you back so bad that I can't stand it sometimes. I sometimes wish we would have made a different decision. However, I know that is important for you and your future. That makes it important for us too. We are proud of you. I showed the kids on the map where you are. They thought it was very far away. It is isn't. I will await your response and your words that I wake up to read everyday. I know tomorrow will be busy for you but I hope that you are able to write back.

Love,

Chris
