A weekend of rest

Well, I think I officially have cabin fever! I have been in the house for 2 days now, just letting mom rest. She has slept so much since we got back from Maryland. I have to make her get up just to sit in the livingroom for a few hours. She is very tired after the smallest task right now. She begs me to let her sit down all the time. She still is having some illness and I hope this is part of the problem and that it will resolve soon. I plan to get her out tomorrow a have her walk some. I hope it will help her some.

I have gotten some rest and more time with the kids, which has been good. I also finished all the laundry! But I want out! Jana is coming in tonight and I am looking forward to the break! I am not a person who can stay home for long!

Well, enough complaining. We rescheduled mom's MRI. I hope she will be feeling more up to the scan later. They are not going to change her treatment at this point, so we only have to have the scan done before we go back to Maryland in 3 weeks. We hope to be able to go back this week or next.

Now, let me tattle on myself and tell you about the thong "almost" episode! We had gone on the cruise, to Maryland and back and mom was sick and very tired. I had prayed all the way that she would not have to use the restroom on the plane since it is an ordeal right now. Well, we landed and got a wheelchair escort and went to the baggage claim area. I took her to the bathroom onher walker and she was practically running by the time we got to the bathroom. Well, wouldn't you know, someone else was in the handicap stall. It was all I could do to keep from knocking on the door and asking if they were done and did the really need that stall! So I take her into a little stall and it was very difficult. When we came out the very young, very able girl was standing there curling her hair. I just glared and glared at her and she paid no attention. She did not even seem to notice us. After I washed my hands the only towels in the bathroom where right next to her. So I very kindly stood right in her way as she tried to curl her hair and very slowly dried my hands! I was so angry at this point. I had fought with the insurance company, been hurried by a flight attendant (for no apparent reason) watched my mom try to eat a sandwich on a turbulant plane, etc. etc. etc. Things had just piled up too much. So I finish drying my hand and get mom ready to go. As we are about to leave the girl was bending over her numerous bags and her thong underwear was sticking out ( a pet peeve of mine anyway). I was right there next to her and thought I just want to yank it! I couldn't believe I thought that! I had to hurry and leave the bathroom because the thought brought a smile to my face! It is embarassing now, but such a temptation at the time. So if you are around me please keep your thongs hidden and out of site!
