sat.

Mr. Bojangles's new resting/hiding place. He tickles me.

Going to the hospital this morning to see mom.

 Her nurse held her water pill and heart meds yesterday because moms blood pressure was "low." I spent at least an hour on the phone trying to get things straightened out. Her cardiologist does not want her heart meds held no matter what her blood pressure might be.............................and considering she's in heart failure, to hold her Lasix doesn't make sense.......................... unfortunately she went to a hosp. this second time where her cardiologist does not go......it's closer to the house and mom thought it would be easier for dad..............................................The nurse I spoke to was in a bad mood & unwilling to listen. I even think she wanted to fight. I wasn't willing to play her game. I'm tired.

 So I called my older, bitchier, more vocal sister. She too likes to fight. SO

She left work and went to the hospital to talk to moms nurse in person.

 Mom got her medicines.

Today I'm taking daughter school clothes shopping. Her best friend Mariah is going with us...................we'll stop to see mom first and then on our way to the mall we will go.

I'm looking forward to it!

(12 hour later)..............................We did go shopping. First we stopped off at the hospital to see mom. Dad was there too...........we only stayed a little over an hour. Mom was feeling well.......and she looked pretty good.........but she's starting to get a little irritable being stuck in the hospital. Hopefully she'll come home tomorrow.

Me ,daughter, and daughters best friend spent the rest of the day shopping.  She got some cool clothes and shoes......and a couple pieces of jewelry............I got a new pair of shoes and sore feet. I took us all out for dinner............and I realized........it's the last time I'll have to take a child of mine school clothes shopping.

I'll miss it. It was always something I enjoyed. :O) 

We've had 2 scrimmage football games and have won both. So we're off to a great start. The girls are waiting on their new cheer leading uniforms............for now they're wearing their favorite football players practice jersey.

The girl with my daughter in the picture on the right went to day care with my daughter.

They've been friends since they were 3 years old and have been cheering together since they were 5. I love her like a daughter. Time flies by!

My friend Chas is going to Jerusalem and will go to The West Wailing Wall while there.............My mother is an Atheist, my father was raised Catholic and holds on to angry feelings towards the Catholic church because of his upbringing for part of his childhood in a catholic orphanage........I'm not sure what he believes..........and my parents sent us to a Methodist Church as we were growing up................................................do I believe in God? I dunno. Sometime. Sometimes not........

I direct my prayers to a God. I hope there's a God.....................but anyway, my friend Chas is going to put my prayer in the wall for me.......................I asked him to put it in the part of the wall that only men are allowed. Life I think is easier for men. Maybe God will be more willing to hear my prayers if it's in the men only part of the wall. But I just realised that even though it's easier for men, at  least in my opinion, life is better for women. I'll tell him to put my prayer in the wall where women are allowed!
