Hospitals oughta have barsWelcome to night #2 of watching my mother sleep. She doesn't seem so to be any worse, but doesn't seem to be any better, either. So, who knows? Perhaps the steroids and antibiotics will do their thing soon. I need the steroids, I gotta work tomorrow.
I stopped running in circles long enough to go shopping. Well, actually my arms just got tired. I got quite a bit done, but now I'm at the stage where I don't really know what I have and I need to look at all of it at once. I was loading up my basket at Target and I ran into Busy Dad doing the same thing. With the same stuff. Perhaps running in circles wasn't as efficient as I thought it would be.

Oh boy do I hear you about that. As I started showing my husband what I had bought the boys (in preparation for wrapping) he informed me that two of the "GREAT" purchases I made for our boys turned out to be not just duplicates of what my husband had bought, but INFERIOR products!
I suggested that he do all the Christmas shopping for them next year :) Heck, now that I think about it, maybe I should just let him do ALL of it *grinning wildly*!
May you get some REST tonight :)
Busymom, I hate that this is going on right here at the Holidays! Everything will be fine whether you complete the shopping or not. I hope your mom improves and is able to enjoy Christmas with all of you. Take care of yourself as well.
I hope your day goes well.
It's nice that Busydad knew what to do and picked up the slack. That's a wonderful husband. Good luck with your mother.
Try to take it one step at a time. You'll get through it. You're in my thoughts right now!
I'm not sure what we have, either, and I am currently avoiding the huge pile of bought, but unwrapped, presents in my closet. Denial. Pure denial.
I hope your mom improves. Try to get some rest if at all possible. If not, stock up on Starbucks...
I hope your mom gets better, I will be praying for all of you. Get some rest if you can and tell your mom all the time how much she means to you. Good luck with your shooping for the holidays I know the Malls are like a mad house this week. I work in one.
As it turns out, your plan of running in circles waving your hands in the air was working perfectly. The only problem was you didn't stick with it. If you had, BusyDad would have handled those purchases and saved you a trip to Target.
No wonder you were up so late last night!!!
Cancer sucks. It sucks anytime of year, but, somehow, at Christmastime, it's worst of all. Last Christmas, my stepfather was in his last stages of it and Christmas was back and forth to my mom's (to keep her from having panic attacks) and Christmas Eve was soooo depressing in a house with a dying man and no sign of Christmas anywhere. I think our Christmas Eve meal for the three chilluns was McDonalds. Maybe we made it special and had Arby's...don't remember. At any rate, you are a good daughter.
