Getting ready …

Here it’s 12:34 in the morning as I start writing this.  The family is getting ready in many different homes.

Carole’s home is getting ready for momma to go back into the hospital for her second round of Bio-chemotherapy.  It’s sad that she is feeling better in some area’s, not so great in others:( and it’s time to go back in.  Miss Tiffani is keeping momma’s toes painted pretty and Miss Chloe helps her fix her hair.  The kids and mom and dad have been having lots of talks I am sure as ‘this’ is hitting even closer to home now.

On Tuesday morning I was at the doctors with Tim (that’s another story!) .. well I had seen a lady in probably her early 40’s .. she was dressed very beachy, capri’s, cute little top. scarf, white wide brimmed hat, sandals .. and I thought how great she looked, loved the scarf and hat!  Then just as she shut her car door I realized that she didn’t have any hair!   Later in the afternoon I was getting ready to call Carole and tell her how great the lady looked .. when my phone rang .. it was Carole .. she has started to lose her hair.  She is prepared physically with beautiful scarves from Rhonda and a Pretty wig from Angie .. but mentally, well it’s a little tough to see more than just a few daily strands that we all lose.   We have learned over the years that   “if you can’t laugh about something that you end up crying”  .. so there have been a few laughs .. like Jimmie teasing about having several wives, a blonde, a red head, short, long .. wigs.   There have been a few tears too ..

Wendy is getting ready to hop on a plane on the 13th to visit Carole and family until I think she said the 23rd might be the 21st, but she will be able to spend a while in Texas.  They are all looking forward to the visit .. Wendy’s kids aren’t going out this time, just couldn’t swing it .. but maybe a little down the road.

I am working as hard as I can to get the ‘project’ .. oh heck just say it, everyone knows it!  I am trying to get the May (yes that isn’t a misprint .. MAY) EMSI done so i can finish packing up what I will be taking with me.  Plus packing up my whole sewing room and many other parts of the house so Tim only has to worry about him and the animals while I am gone.  If he can get a job in Texas then that makes moving easier too.   I will be felting a little forever friend and hopefully be making patterns for Ellowyne and Leeann .. what a concept right!    Of course these are things that will be done when done with house work and things … going to try and give Jimmie a bit of a break when I can too.

Hug someone you love .. and if they let you do it once .. then take advantage and hug them again
