Mom got here yesterday morning and she has been going nonstop ever since. The house is cleaner than it has been since we moved in, the kids are happy, and we're all caught up on projects that have been put on hold for months. All of this in just over 24 hours.
How does she do it? She has endless energy and patience. I hope that's something I will be genetically gifted with as I get older. We'll see.
Yesterday, we made some meals and froze them, got some grocery shopping done, and worked on laundry and housecleaning.
Today, we made about 15 GALLONS of taco soup to freeze, and finished the laundry and housecleaning. There's not much left to do now but just enjoy each other before my surgery tomorrow morning! And that's really nice.
Glynn is in the garage right now, installing the lift for the Jeep top. He gets time to do his projects too, when Grandma's here, because I'm not constantly nagging him for help around the house. She better be careful or we're gonna keep her for good. And fly Grandpa out here too, of course. Maddie in particular is a little confused about why Grandma's here but Grandpa isn't. She's Grandpa's little girl, so she misses him a lot. Dad calls her Sugar Bear the Second, since she's my little mini-me.
I'm relieved about surgery tomorrow morning but I'm getting a little nervous too. It's just natural, but it's causing me to be a little snippy, so sorry family! I love you, but I'm a little on edge right now. It will be better later, I promise.
Mom and Megan are insisting that Glynn and I have a date night tonight since it will be awhile before I feel good enough to go anywhere or do anything. I can't think of a better way to spend the evening, so I'm excited about that.
This will most likely be my last post before going under the knife, but I'll let you know how things went in a couple of days. Expect lots of curse words and drugged-out observations.
Prayers are appreciated!
