Mom

While Manly is out of town I thought it would be fun to go visit my Mom. So I call my Mom and the lovely lady lets me know that it has actually been at least 6 years since I've been over there. Yikes, I'm a horrible daughter! I got all caught up in the life of my kids that I didn't visit her at all, they are always came here. Again let me say, I'm a horrible daughter.

My Mom lives over the mountain, a 3 hour drive. So I packed my car and took off Tuesday morning. After I got there; we visited a little, went out to lunch and then hit some fun little stores in the town they live. Then we came back to the house and relaxed and made our plans for the next day. Then........my stomach started gurgling. I thought maybe it was just my going off my diet.....then it gurgled louder. Then it cramped up, then it yelled at me. I spent the rest of the night getting rid of whatever was in my stomach that didn't want to be there. And, it really didn't want to be there. Suffice it to say that I felt a little like Linda Blair in the Exorcist. It lasted until I saw the sun rise the next morning, I was exhausted. I finally slept till about 10:00. I thought I felt better the next morning, but I was so weak I couldn't left my head. I spent the whole day on the couch in and out of consciousness. My poor Mom, I finally come over and we could do nothing, I felt like a slug. Today I felt back to normal so we tried to go do a few of the things we wanted before I had to head back over the mountain.

I have to admit, if I was going to get sick, I'm glad it was with Mom. I felt like a kid again, she got me jello and even sugar free Popsicles!

Again, I'm so sorry Mom. I promise next time to be more fun.
