moving van

So I drove the moving van to mom's house. The good news.... Stacy is going to drive it to Tx. It was a bear to drive and I knew the whole way all three of us would be crunched. I will be driving Mom's car to TX with Tonie, Alisa will be with Stacy.

The house is all done and everything is in the moving van. We also cleanned so its all done.

Tonie really wants to celebrate her birthday with family so we are doing a small dinner for her. Then we will leave for TX tomorrow, Thursday. We should be in TX on Saturday if not late Friday night.

Moving again.... never thought.

Monday, Monday... again

Can't believe it's Monday again. I was just posting about Monday....

Packed up Mom's house yesterday and today, and, I have to say she was one of the most organized persons. She had so much stuff... whole lot of stuff.... and in sure didn't seem like it when we started. I also found some really cool stuff. She kept some papers from her marriage to my father that ended in the early 70's.

We basically just packed up everything and will sort in TX in a month or so. I can tell you that there is a quite a bit of furniture that I am getting. We are deffinately going to have to increase the sq footage of our house!

Off to bed. I gotta get up early in the morning to pick up the moving truck. The girls and I will be driving back to TX in said moving van this week. (Wish me luck!)

Yeah.....

So Mom passed away Christmas Eve Morning. She went into hospice on Tuesday afternoon. I spent the night next to her and in the morning she was gone. The good news is that all her family was surrounding her laughing about shared memories of her.

I am doing okay. Lots of family all around. Today is my aunt's (Mom's sister) birthday. Again, lots of family. I am doing okay for now. I think when I get back to my regular schedule things will be different.

Christmas was good. Again - family. Kids had a good time.
The girls are doing good. I think because they were not really close to Mom it doesnt affect them as much.

Well thats all for now. Thank you for all your warm thoughts and prayers.

Monday, Monday

I am in Ohio. Actually at the hospital with mom. She is doing okay right now. She is aware and able to carry on a conversation for a few minutes. She is dealing with quite abit of pain due to the cancer spreading to her bones. We are going to look in to hospice if she hangs on this week. She doesnt seem to want to hang around but as we all know there is no time table. Thank you to all who helped yesterday. I am forever grateful.

Will update more later... she is awake for now.
