Tammi's World

.....and Exhale....

Mama is leaving today. Her flight is at 4:20 out of Orlando. We spent some time in the ER again yesterday, but everything is fine and they believe there should be no problem with her flying.

We puttered yesterday and got the Christmas stuff put up. It was driving my mother nuts that I would be coming back from Vegas next week and my Christmas stuff was going to still be out. So.......it's gone now.

We are both armed with lists. Her's is stuff she wants to make for me. Mine? Where things are stashed, stuff we didn't get done.....oh she's one hell of a list maker, let me tell you!

So my life will be my own again as of tonite. I have to admit that I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to make a couple phone calls - I've missed having the privacy to just call and talk. I'm going to put all the stuff that has been "reassigned locations" back where I want them and....well shit, just claim back my house.

I also need to start preparing for my trip to Vegas. 6 days, 5 nights. Sales Meetings. Our time accounted for from 8:00am til 9:00pm (or later). OK - stop it Tammi. No sense fussin' over something you have no control over.

I'm proud of my Mom. She has accepted what happened, agreed that she is going to need to make some changes and is already figuring out how to do all the things she needs to do and still enjoy herself completely.

And you all! The best....the very best.......your thoughts and prayers, comments and support has been what has kept me going. Thank You! Thank you so very much.

I've learned/relearned a few things this past month....

*I love my mother, but Oy Vey I cherish my independence.

*You do catch more flys with honey, but sometimes it's just not right without that splash of vinegar

*I'm lazier at heart than I ever realized

*I'm not as affectionate as I used to be

*I really do like to drink

And most important.....

It's never to late to change!
