OOPS

I have been accused of being a lazy blogger. I hate to admit it, but I have been. It doesn't feel like it has been that long, but wow, it has.
About three days before I posted about Lonnie's dad's heart attack, one of my closest and dearest friends was sent to the hospital and admitted for "clots" in her head.
It has been one thing after another since that time. It was found out that she had a mild stroke, and several other complications. I haven't been able to get to the hospital to see her, so instead I have taken on meal planning and child care arrangements for her family at home and her husband. The response has been simply overwhelming. I can't thank the people enough who have stepped up to help. It has been fantastic.
Things are finally starting to look up, and there may even be whispers of her coming home sometime soon.
Other than that, things are pretty normal. We have gotten our Christmas tree up and the house is all ready. I have now reached the pint that the "helpful" reminding signs at Wal*Mart, you know the ones, "3 Saturdays Until Christmas" have started to really stress me out. I think that is on purpose.
That is about all for now, please forgive my delinquency.

I'm Checking....

WHAT!?

How did I miss those signs?

How is it possible?

Oh dear... My stress level just doubled.....

Thanks a lot.

Anyway, glad to hear your friend is better - are you still needing people on the meal list? I can always send just a bag of mixed food - cereal, bread, milk, etc for the family - stuff that people don't send with dinners.

Glad you're back on the blog band wagon. I missed ya!
