another rambling

well Mom come over last saturday afternoon and informed us that the Family Reunion is this coming sunday (today). How can I put this to you delicately mom that I dont' think I will be able to take you this year. MMMMM she didn't like what I told her. Now remember the earlier posts about her?? How if she hears something she does not like she just ignores you or talks about something completely different? Well this time she just stared off into space and just sat there. Oh she is really upset.

"Well I wasn't sure if this is a "off week" for the chemo or if pam would feel like going to Indiana. But you know, a person should try to make as many of these as they can cause they just don't know how many they will be going to. Then the people who are there will be able to visit with you etc. etc. etc."

Now, is she talking about the mortality of Pam because of the cancer or is she talking about her mortality?? Considering that in the past 5 years she has lost her mother, husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother, grandson and her daughter-in-law has been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, she might be feeling a bit mortal lately. She has been pretty sickly these past few weeks too. Although I do think she ate something bad for her a couple of weeks ago that is still affecting her. (she has a habit of "keeping" things a bit too long in the frig if you know what I mean)

Well mom I could possibly run you to Indiana and back on sunday but I really don't want to leave pammy home alone for the 7 hour trip there and 7 hour trip back. Lets call Kiddo (sister) and see what she has cooking? That was a sign of relief for her and so I called kiddo later that day. Yep she agreed to take her - problem solved.

Not really, Kiddo wanted to run to Indianopolis on friday and see the Childrens Museum with the Little Kiddo and then go to the aunts house to stay and visit then head to the reunion on sunday. Oh did mom NOT like that prospect of leaving on friday and spending 3 whole days away from home. We still do not know what is going on in her little head but they ended up not going. mom came down with some mysterious illness on friday and stayed home the whole weekend. No "vacation" from the mom - bummer.

Rotten kids are still here too for that matter - still no Nakked Happy dance happening at the house - oh but when they are gone - oooooohhhhhhhh baby
