Cynthia's Very Good Day

1. My friend Norma (o.k., I've never met her in person but she's still a friend....and the funny thing is that she found my blog because she was a colleague of Judi's.....and now....even though she didn't know Judi that well...she is a friend of mine!) called the nursing home and got them to bring a driver in on Thanksgiving and bring my mother in their wheelchair lift van to our home for THANKSGIVING!  And they are doing it!!!  Everyone cheer for Heartland Manorcare.....I can't believe it.  I cried.  I think I didn't even realize how sad I was about her not being here for Thanksgiving until then.....  Last Thanksgiving was the last Thanksgiving with Judi and the Thanksgiving before that was the last one with my father....so I really wanted this one with her....  The boys cheered when I told them......

As Heather put it so perfectly....."sniff, sniff.....Norma ROCKS."

2.  When I was at the nursing home this evening the respiratory therapist asked me if I was my mother's GRANDdaughter.  Woo-hooooo!

3.  My boss closed the office early.

4.  My mother got a check she'd been waiting for so I don't have to call the government thrift savings program tomorrow.

5. Tomorrow is meat pie day.  I'm going to make the filling and the pickled beets tonight and tomorrow we'll bring it to the nursing home so my mother can have it.....as any good Plouffe girl should, on Thanksgiving Eve.

6.  My mother's cat Annie actually came out of the basement....through the whole first floor, even up the stairs to the second floor and Bob and Hattie didn't attack her.

7.  I do NOT have to go to work tomorrow.....Ernie and I may go OUT TO BREAKFAST which is very exciting as our wretched children never want to....but it won't matter because they'll be at SCHOOL.....hahahahahahah

8.  I took this picture today and I liked it.

 

9.  and my sister Debbie is COMING NEXT WEEK.....her FMLA paperwork finally went through!!!

10.  And right now.....I love each and every one of you!!!!
