Days 12, 13 & 14 Crash and Burn
Posted on August 21, 2012 at 4:10am 2 Comments 1 Like
So the last few days have been a blur. Two friends have both been in the hospital recently. One with the miscarriage, one with a hip replacement. I've been zooming around to their houses, making meals, picking up, changing diapers, sitting and chatting, playing board games. I got home yesterday and was snapping at my entire family.

The person on the other side saw me stop and stopped too. She looked so grateful. It made me happy.

Yesterday there were lots of gifts for my kiddos- out to lunch for sushi and pizza (weird combo I know, but we have this FANTASTIC supermarket near us that has some wonderful prepared food and booths!)
A stop at FYE to pick up our preordered copy of Glee (for me and my daughter) A trip to Savers for my guys. A really cool "planetarium" for the little one, and an album with ghost stories and 20 comic books for the big one.
The real gift was a call from my friend who is going through…
