1. Hallucinations can be funny
My mom took a sharp decline this weekend. She fell at least 5 times, her abdomen was extremely swollen, and she was hallucinating. I came over to visit on Sunday morning and I was afraid to leave. I stayed all day and then we made frequent visits on Monday. I am grateful that she is doing MUCH better. (At least she was last night during my visit) This surgery experience has been a wild ride of ups and downs and I am looking forward to it being completed and in our past.
And--when you can look past the terribleness and work of caregivers regarding hallucinations -- sometimes it can be hilarious. On Sunday there were times that I was laughing so hard that I was actually crying.
2. Parent - Teacher Conferences
Our conferences last night went SMOOTHLY. I actually like the program again and I am excited that the boys have such a great opportunity. I walked out of the building feeling extremely proud to be their mom.
3. Doug (The real person)
Last minute on Sunday we needed someone to watch the twins ALL DAY on Monday. Doug stepped up to the plate and spent a full 8-5 day with them. He took them to McDonalds (of course) and then exploring on an adventure in the woods. I am so so so grateful for him. He really pulled us out of a tight corner.
4. Saturday Night
After Maddie and Olivia's party on Saturday evening we moved the party to our house. It was great to have people over and enjoy a few more drinks and snacks before going to bed.
5. My husband
It has been difficult the past week with my parents. Mike has helped me cope, take care of the boys, and even cancel jobs so he can go and check in on them. It has been rough and I am so grateful that I have him on my team. He is the best.
