While Waiting

Okay. So what do you do when you're waiting for your cervix to be softened?
You go to Goodwill with your mama and your brother. Of course.

So today Lily and Hank and I went to lunch and then the Goodwill where we looked at books and other fun stuff. Lily got a plastic Superman chair for Owen. Jason loves Superman. And don't we all? Anyway, while we were there, I decided to try out this nice green chaise longue. The funny thing was, it didn't just recline, it went ALL the way back. So of course I made Lily take my picture with my phone.

"God, Mom," she might have said.

And then she definitely did say, "I think there may have been a recall on that one."

I laughed so hard I almost choked.

So there's the picture. "Do I look good?" I asked her when she was taking it.

"Yes," she said. Haha!

You can also see golf clubs, a bedside commode and some Christmas decorations.
Lord I do love the Goodwill.

Anyway, we had the best time and it occurred to me that no matter which combination of my children are together, they always have plenty to say and most of it's funny. We think we're funny, anyway.

So right now Lily is checking into the hospital with Jason at her side to start taking the cervix softening drugs. And tomorrow morning- GAME ON!
We shall be seeing that boy within a reasonable amount of time.

And get this- my mother told me today that her due date with me was July 10 and I was born on July 28 so... well, just saying. And I turned out okay. Sort of.

And in other news, Miss Maybelle is sick with what might be the flu and I am just sick about that myself. She is aching, has fever, and has slept all day and is getting congested. This is not a good time to be sick. Maybe, hopefully, she'll be making a miraculous recovery tonight. I sure hope so.

And HoneyLuna? She has a new post up over at her blog: http://findingthosedulcettones.blogspot.com/
where she plays a little banjo.
We just discovered that in her nursing classes in the big auditorium which is the same room I had my nursing classes in 25 years ago, she is sitting in the same exact spot I used to sit in! Now HOW did that happen? The older I get, the more I think it's all nature and very little nurture. Well, not really, but come on- is seating preference genetic?

All right. Life is about to get topsy-turvy over here. Let's all hold on and keep our skirts down around our knees, even when upside down.

Come on, Owen. Our family's heart is in your hands and we can't wait for you to join the party.
