I really didn’t want to get up this morning.  This post will be short because I stayed in bed as long as possible.  It was warm and cozy and I just wanted to keep on sleeping.

ROTC meeting went well last night.  Finalizing plans for the big Dining Out Awards March 26. On paper, everything looks good but I need to get on the phone and see if we can get more parents to help out.

SIL, Kim, hasn’t been doing well at all. She’s been delusional for almost a month.  Thinks she had thirteen children and they were stolen from her and sold. Keeps reliving a rape while physically screaming and thrashing and trying to get away.  I kept praying that she’d come out of it but I saw on Facebook this morning that that they’re moving her to a facility in Indiana.  My brother says the doctor’s think she has some major issues in her past that she’s going to have to deal with that are keeping her from getting better.  Was she raped?  I don’t know.  I know that she never had 13 children that were taken from her and sold.  It’s heartbreaking for both Kim and my brother.  He doesn’t know if these events are real or not but Kim thinks they’re real and it’s breaking his heart that he can’t do anything to help her.  They’ve only been together about ten years or so and she’s not very close to her family so there’s probably a lot of pain in her past that he isn’t aware of.  Everytime he, (or any other man) walks into her room, it sets off a screaming and kicking match and it’s obvious that she’s terrified of something.  I hate that they’re going through this.
