Meet thy doom

Let me tell you, today was the most hideous way to spend our last full day with Jacob. It was the most awful thing to experience. I spent most of the day crying because of it, so of course I have a gigantic headache. I just don't know what to do anymore. I couldn't believe the horrible stuff that came out of that kids mouth. I was totally appalled and horrified. This kid needs some serious help and everyone around him ignores that. Every time I bring it up everyone gets all defensive and cranky so that is the end of that topic. I don't know how to go about this anymore.
Last Friday we took the kids to a place called Discovery Village. It is so fun! It is a little science museum place. I think the kids would really like it. They took 4 old houses in Salem and fixed them up and put the displays in the houses. There is also a HUGE play structure. This thing is so massive! I think people should bring their kids here and let me take them there.
Mark's step mom Carol has cervical cancer. It thankfully is only in the first stage so they caught it wayyyyyyy early. She is going in on Tuesday to have it all taken out. His dad is a hole other story. That poor man. They are pretty sure that his walking and speech has something to do with a toxin. So they have done blood work, mri's all sorts of things and they can't find anything. The other day they did a spinal tap to check the fluid because there are some toxin's that aren't detected in anything but the spinal fluid. It just breaks my heart to see him going through this. He is on muscle relaxers that do little to nothing but he can barley walk without them. So we are all hoping that they find something this time and that it can be taken care of before anything gets worse. Also that everything is reversible.
Well we are taking Jacob back tomorrow for the school year. It so does not seem like it has been a whole summer yet. I just can't believe it. Shocking. So I got to get in bed and get some sleep because we have to leave early in the morning to drop him off and all that fun stuff.
