Tonight I had someone ask what was going on in my life and before I knew it I rattled off a long litany of “stuff”. My mother-in-law had cataract surgery last Tuesday, a melanoma removed last Thursday (which I change the bandage for daily since it’s on the back of her neck where she cannot reach), she’s scheduled for another cataract surgery tomorrow. Others are helping with the cataract surgeries and I gladly take care of the bandaging (she only lives two streets over). My middle son went to the doctor yesterday for a camp physical (Boy Scout camp all next week) and I dropped him off this morning for a three day camp. My daughter is still in school this week (she goes to an extended year school) and yesterday I got her worked in to see the doctor because she developed a nasty rash on her face (an allergic reaction to something that is now responding well to Cortaid). Last Sunday was the second anniversary of my mother’s death. I work a 15 hour a week job for a 2 person non-profit office that I enjoy greatly – but we have a new Executive Director so the two of us are learning new routines and how to get it all done. I also work for my husband’s business as his office manager (thank goodness for flexible hours!), though that doesn’t take a lot of time right now. I forgot to mention that all three kids are starting new music lessons. Just saying it all out loud made me stop for a moment.<\/p>\n
