I don't know. 

Anywho, it's my dad's birthday, he's 71 today.

We are taking him out to his favorite Mexican restaurant tonight.

I still have no clue what to get him.

Happy Friday!

Happy birthday to your Dad, Lily. I hope he enjoys his day!cry

My day got off to a terrible start. My phone started blowing up with texts in the middle of the night. Never a good sign.

So much for my Mom being okay. She lost the ability to walk last night. The ambulance came and took her to the hospital.

They confirmed no fractures or breaks. We don't know what's wrong.

My sister Trudy is on her way up to Y-town now.

I hope we'll get some news this afternoon.

Still praying for you granddaughter, Czech. I hope her recovery goes smoothly, from here on out.

I am stressed.cry

I bet she has swelling that's causing the problem.

Gosh, hope it's nothing serious.

Prayers

Maybe a pinched nerve? Torn ligament?

Could she have had a stroke?

Lily, my thought was swelling that might have pinched some nerves.

Chef, her mind is fine. I don't think she had a stroke.

I hate to speculate. I think I'll just wait for news.

I'll let you know when I hear.

Dear Boss: do not expect me to pick up on all the little details and know your preferences.....then get annoyed when I question you requesting something out of the ordinary but very similar and easily confused with the usual.

Trumps press conference is fantastic. He is getting out the FACTS on a border barrier. Extreme Dems are going to lose big time with their resistance. He is point out how every administration before his has tried to do that.

 That's what it's sounding like, Lindley. My sister Trudy is with her. The doctors say her heart is good . No broken bones. She sat in a chair for an hour. Two therapists helped her walk to the bathroom. Her bottom is bruised and sore. A wound care gal is going to be in to see her at some point. That's the latest news . My computer is messed up , so I'm posting from my phone.  I hope this is  readable.

So this happened.

20190104_161703-1.jpg

 

Caitlyn was in the top of the house getting things down to put the Christmas stuff up, and she stumbled and her foot came through the ceiling.

Thankfully she did not fall completely through with her whole body, but her leg came through to her thigh.

FWM, praying for your mom! Hope she has a quick and easy recovery, with no further incidents. Thanks for letting us know.

Lily, Happy birthday to your dad. And ugh, on the ceiling damage. But yeah, needs some sub flooring up there.

Got the estimate on my car. Less than a thousand dollars to repair the popped bracing brackets to the rear bumper. But it's HIS to pay and by gosh, he better pay it. Insurance lady said she was glad I called the cops on that guy. He's the type of individual that would have denied hitting me.

The guy that did the collision estimate said he hopes the guy doesn't breed. ROTF. Yeah, we both know the guy and he's right. I'm glad he said it and not me though. I still thought is was funny.

Little Miss Bethany has had a good day. We are so glad to have her home again!

And the murder scene in their bathroom has been cleaned up... That's what oldest DGS said it looked like in there.

None of the kids would enter the house until dad had cleaned it up. I didn't blame them one bit. It was awful scary for those kids.

DH bought our little Miss several containers of ice cream today. She was so happy!

Finally have the Christmas tree down. Hope to get the house back to normal tomorrow and then can drag out all my quilting stuff again. Biting at the bit to start quilting again. Need my comfort zone back. ;)

So taking Sonny out for a walk about 2 hours ago and suddenly a little Yorkie ran out the door from on of Sonny's buddy's houses. Another neighbor took Sonny and I and many others searched the pond area and woods for the Yorkie. couldn't find her and she is not familiar with the area, she is being dogsat. I took my car up to another area nearby and walked the wood trying to find her. No luck.

Posted on the local town FB page about her. Nothing. 10 Minutes ago received the news she was FOUND!

At least I got my exercise in hiking through the woods trying to find her.

 It is odd that you made this reference. A friend and I were talking today about all the trauma we have both endured recently. We both came to the conclusion that it was time for us to pass the burdens of taking care of our families on to the next generation. We can finally understand how and why our own mothers backed away from the burdens and heartache. My friend referred to it as "recovering our mental health". It was like a light turned on for both of us at the same time. Yes, I can now understand why my mom backed away.

The time does come when we do need to let go. Not remove ourselves, but letting them take full control of all aspects of their journey. My friend and I are both quick to help, but it's okay to stand in the background.

Yes, I think I am ready for this next stage of life.

 Write an email to all your kids and tell them this.  Let them know how long you have been doing this and also that you need to step back.  My guess is they will get it and not have an issue with taking over.  Hugs.

 I think they may instinctively already know. DS said, "I got this" the night of Miss Bethany's bleed. Yes, I think they already know. I was overwhelmed with relief when he said that.

Thank you for understanding, IKWTDS.

 Do you know how much I want to come out there and just take you out for fun and relief?  I feel the same way about Vette but I just sent her my hooker boots so I think she is good.

Glad everyone is getting better.

Dinner with dad was nice.

I have so much to do tomorrow.

Caitlyn went home extremely sore and bruised, but will ok.

I'm battling a stomach bug.

 Haven't you always wanted to put a hanging light right there to have a reading nook?  One with a pretty ceiling medallion?

"And the murder scene in their
bathroom has been cleaned up... "

Czech ~
If you ever have to clean up a
bloody scene again, use a hint
I got from an ER nurse a couple
of years ago, and call a company
called "Serv Pro". They are all
over the U.S. and are well
versed in cleaning up bloody
accidents. After they are
through, you'd never know
anything had happened.

Serv Pro is a good idea! I'm glad it was cleaned up.
Goodness lily, I'm so glad your DD wasn't badly injured!

 Thank you for the hint, Momala. I sincerely hope we never have to deal with another bloody mess like that again. Dad really did do an amazing job of getting the blood off the walls, floor, sink, and mirrors. Projectile vomiting with that much blood makes for one heck of a mess. Sorry about all the gory details.
