Well, after the second visit this year by my friend Jennifer's nemesis, Puke Bug, we seem to be coming back around to normal. Hannah Bee threw up for a full 48 hours straight, every 30 minutes to an hour around the clock for two days. I am exhausted but so glad to see the sparkle back in her beautiful brown eyes.
Who has time to be sick during Spring Break and Easter weekend? We surely don't. I have a shower to give this weekend for my sister-in-law to be. We decided to just take it to a restaurant rather than stress my mother further with yet another social event at her house. She is going to be entertaining company anyway this weekend. My dad's cousin, her husband, and their two grandsons that they are raising are coming. So there are going to be a lot of people in town this weekend!
We hardly have time to turn around after we come home Sunday night, and school will begin again Monday, and the boys have to give a speech in town Monday night. They are actually compteting in a contest. Dan and Sam will be competing against about 6 other kids in something sponsored by our county's chapter of Right to Life. It is surely an appropriate time to be remembering the gift of life that God gave to all. At this writing, it does not look like Terry Shiavo will make it much longer, seeing that her husband is intent on killing her. What a sham and a travesty this whole thing is!
My church family is surely having a rough week. My cousin called early this morning with the bad news that a dear sister who is 80 years old fell and broke her hip yesterday. She is quite frail and only has one lung, so we are all very concerned for her. I understand she is to have surgery today. Meanwhile, Tina with the mastectomy is doing as well as can be expected and is home now. Our elder will have surgery to try and remove the jaw cancer in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, he is delighting in having all four of his children in from various places, and many of the grandchildren came too.
I have a busy day on tap. I need to clean house (always!) and start packing for the trip to Mom's this weekend. We have speeches to finish and to rehearse, and little Sarah Hope always has a few things on her "to do list" too! I'm sure she will come up with a couple of dollies that need dressing, and she is having a good time working finally on her scrapbook that MeMe gave her for Christmas.
I need to do a little Easter shopping if I can sneak out. I cannot take anyone, so that is going to be a feat if I can pull off sneaking out without The Bee getting upset.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend, full of egg hunts and beautiful Spring breezes! Stay safe and give somebody close a hug today.
