She turned 9 years old today. I had planned to do the same for her as I have done for my boys, including the story of the day she was born, here. But things have been hectic......crazy......busy...to say the least. Nonetheless, today was her day. She had a slumber party last Saturday night and opened all of her presents.
We leave Friday for North Carolina. This week, I have given 4 haircuts, packed 5 suitcases, 4 large bags of food/beach toys/miscellaneous items for the week. Cleaned my car completely out, washed it. Got the dog beds washed and the dogs bathed. Had my oil changed, stopped the mail, turned in paperwork for the kids to start school at a different school in the Fall. And hosted one slumber party for Alyssa.
The dining room looks like a disaster has hit it with all the bags.
Otherwise, not much going on......LOL

Eddie is going to have to have back surgery to fuse the vertebrae together. We aren't sure yet, WHEN, but I have a feeling it will be soon after we get home from vacation.
My uncle, Mom's youngest-older brother definitely has lung cancer. The doctor said his lungs lit up like a Christmas Tree and it has spread to his lymph nodes. Hospice has been called in. He is passing blood. They think he may be in renal failure. The doctors said he had anywhere from 3 months-3 years. I don't agree. I think his time is much shorter than that.
It's sad really. One brother gone from cancer and Mom. One with lung cancer and dying. One with prostate cancer, but in treatment. Another, had skin cancer and is in complete remission. Another, suffered that Transient Amnesia, and although it's a temporary thing (supposedly), he's now suffering small seizures. That leaves Mom's only sister and the youngest of the 7 siblings. She is the only one that has not been touched by something.

So, listen.......I'll be heading to the doggie hotel first thing Friday morning and then heading on to our stopping point in Virginia that afternoon. We'll finish driving Saturday morning, and checking into our rental house early evening. I hope you guys all have a good week. I know I need this vacation. With impending surgeries, a possible funeral to attend, another trip the day after we get home, to visit family, I need this time OFF.
I suspect I may be looking for a job if Eddie has this surgery. I'll be opening the boutique again after we return, but I only open 4 days a week. Maybe I could be a Walmart greeter or something........I haven't applied for a job since 1992. This should be interesting.
Until next week ya'll! Hey! Hope for clear weather ALL week!
Angel ^i^
