Monica - Best wishes to Maddie tomorrow!
Can I ask a favor? I almost hate asking since I haven't been online much lately.

Just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I haven't been reading.
Anyway, Please say a little prayer for my mom. She is having her hip replacement surgery on Tuesday. I have worked it out to where I will be able to be there for her surgery. The swine flu really messed up our calendar. Come to find out, that even though the kids have school next week, I can write a note and they will be excused!


I had registered for a 10K here for Monday, but I will just lose that $12. That's ok, I think it will mean a lot to mom for me to be there.
The kids and I are traveling over on Friday. My nephew graduates from high school that morning. Can't make that, because DS has to take his finals on Friday, but as soon as he is done. We will be on the road, and will be there for several days.
Dad and I are going to have to clear out a clear path from the back door to her bedroom, so she doesn't have any risk of falling once she gets back home. The hospital doesn't want her going to a rehab facility. They would like her to stay at home. I have my work cut out for me because they have a lot of STUFF in that house, and I am always running into stuff, stumping my toe, etc. whenever I am over there.
I called and told her today and she sounded excited. My older sister, who lives in town with mom, decided to have a double root canal on the morning of mom's surgery.


Don't know why she couldn't have scheduled it for another day.

Anyway, I'm glad that it has worked out for me to go and be able to stay for a little while.
Thanks! Love you all!
