And ION, my mother is coming home from the rehab facility tonight. So my life's not my own quite yet, but it will be at least a teensy bit better since I won't have to spend every night visiting and can actually spend some time at home as a change for the less exhausting (knock on wood - see, I learned my lesson!)
IOON, I'm amused to note that the computer recognizes "teensy" as a word.
And now I should get going on the half million errands I need to run before I go pick her up from the rehab facility.
I'm glad your mom's coming home, Epic.
I'm glad your mom's coming home, too, Epic.
And I don't think you're being a jerk, if the reason you couldn't invite this person is because she wouldn't be able to keep from angering people at your birthday dinner. (I have a couple friends who I make sure not to mix with my other friends. Sometimes you have to Prattkeep your friends.)
Totally agreeing with Zenkitty. Your celebration is, dare I say it, for YOU! There is no room for guilt when you are planning an enjoyable event. If you feel compelled to do something nice for them, I'd vote for a hot dish on some other night.
Northerner help me out. Is it "hot dish" or "hotdish"?
Wait, Jesus (sorry, watched a lot of Black church, today) Juliana is expecting?!?!?!?!?!??!
Juliana, I don't even know who the other half of your "We" is, but mazel tov.
Juliana, Kate and sj. It's a Buffista baby boom.
Hi, Cindy!
~ma and hugs all around. I read along today, but I'm out of spoons and couldn't keep track of everything.
sj, I haven't had enough spoons in I don't know how long, but I did know you are expecting. Keep on keeping on, Mama.
Ginger, wait, Kate is also expecting?
You people have been fornicating (or marriage-ing, or something-ing) without me.
Why do I suddenly want a candy necklace?
Also? Way to go, Buffista spirit babies!
Ginger, wait, Kate is also expecting?
She is! and well along with #2!
I did know Ms. Kate had baby 1, but I didn't know about # 2, because I gave up Facebook 7 or 8 months ago (and am mostly happy about it, except for when I miss good news)
