Happy New Year
Since I'm a bundle of joy and spreading happy, positive vibes lately, I thought I'd cap things off with my New Years plans....the Cancer Agency just called and Mom's brain surgery (second one in twenty years) is scheduled for January. So is Dad's surgery for his bulging aneurysm. They're both extremely intricate operations involving high risk. And most people will be worried about burning off the extra bulge. I don't mean to sound bitter or to rain on the holiday parade, but WTF??? Whoever said life was easy?
So, as you're cursing the line ups at the stores as you're spending all your hard earned money and fighting to find parking spots, smile and know that life is precious and far too fragile to sweat the small stuff. That's what I'm learning anyhow.
(O.K., that's my quota of "whining" posts...the ones to follow will be telling you of all the great things happening around me. I just have to find them first)

Christmas should be about spending time with family right. Your mom and dad are lucky to have you Deb. I hope you all share a wonderful Christmas.
Deb, you don't need to apologize for a 'whinny' post. You and your family are going through a hard time now, your in my thoughts. I hope that depsite what may come in the New Year that you are all able to enjoy the holidays with each other. As Mel said, you obviously have a great heart and your family is lucky to have you. Thinking of you.
Hi Kelly...well that sucks about blogger. Manual type in your blog name so we can visit you, o.k.? Thanks for the good wishes...we need all the help we can get right now.
Thanks Mel...your kind heart always helps on these crummy days. I just drove home from the store in the dark and it hit me. Mom and I can't shop together anymore. Or do the casino (even though we never played a thing when we went...we just walked around). I'm not talking her not being here, just that part of her IS no longer here and we won't get that back, no matter what. She's my best friend.
Allison, whew, tough one here. I can't get into the Christmas stuff at all and usually I'm gung ho and lovin' it. Getting old suck, big time.
That's a lot to have on your mind.
I hope everything works out. It sure does put everything in perspective, doesn't it.
What terrible timing for all that to happen for your family. Not that there is ever a a good time, but to have those upcoming things hang over your head at Christmas must be so hard for all of you.
Your family is in my thoughts and I wish you all the best.
