Weekend At Froggie's
2007-04-29
It's been a pretty nice weekend. We weren't home very much. The kids went with my parents for the weekend and had a blast at the Power Show. My oldest learned to drive a checkered cab with a 3-speed on the column (he's only 13) and my youngest bought every beenie baby he could find.
Me, hubby and Sammie spent half our time at his brother's house and the other half at the hospital visiting his mom. His mom found out she needs heart surgery. They are going to run more tests Monday to see if she can have bypass surgery and valve surgery. If her heart's too damaged, there is nothing they can do. The doctor gave her less than 5 years if she can't have surgery. Saturday she was really scared and didn't want any surgery since she thinks she will die on the table. When everyone went for a smoke break she and I were left alone. She asked what was she suppose to do and I told her she would do the right thing to make herself better. She only saw the negative side and I tried to give her some positives. I asked her if she could imagine going fishing and not having to stop along the way to catch her breath. I asked her if she could imagine running along after her grandson and being able to keep up with him. I told her about my pop. I remember when he had open heart surgery and how he played horsey in the floor with me when I was a kid. She took time to think about everything and smiled as she thought about the possibilities. When everyone came back she wasn't worrying as much. By Sunday, she was hoping the tests would let her have the surgery and she was telling everyone what she would be able to do. She looked so much happier. It helped everyone else relax too because she wasn't crying and getting all worked up like before. At hubby's brother's house, we watched the Busch race Saturday (I fell asleep) and the Nextel Cup race Sunday. Hubby is a BIG Tony Stewart fan and his brother is a HUGE Jeff Gordon fan. Jeff Gordon won, Tony Stewart wrecked and the teasing was nonstop. Me, I'm starting to like Denny Hamlin, but I was so busy watching them fuss I don't even know where he finished.
Sam spent 2 glorious days playing with his buddy Milo. Milo is a little dog too and they chase each other all over the place. They are so funny! They love playing together. It's really cute.
Everyone is in bed now and I'm trying to catch up from not being home. As soon as the clothes are done in the wash, I'm going to bed. Sam's already passed out beside me. I can't wait to get to work tomorrow. So much to do and so little time to get things done like I want to. Maybe I'm weird, but I love my job. I've been posting to my work blog this weekend too so, if anyone notices the dates, they will think I have absolutely no life. Little do they know how much I enjoy it.
Nighty night.

Hi Froggie!
Glad to hear about your weekend! It sounds like your loving words to your Mom-in-law, did the trick. My Dad too, has had bypass surgery...a triple.
He is doing great! People who have been through it usually say it takes about a year to get back to your old self, but he was running around the house after my little one, playing "chase", just tonight, and I don't know which one of them loved it more! My Dad's one year anniversary of his surgery won't be until this Winter!
Take Care and God Bless!

So glad your weekend and your time with your family was much better than it has been. It sounded terrific.
I am sorry to hear about your mother in law, let her know things will be just fine. My mother had open heart surgery and she was a smoker and an alcholic. She died young, but it was many years after the surgery. She had developed emphasima and died of a heart attach sneaking a smoke in the master bathrooom. The only bad part about that was I had just hung up the phone after talking to her when I got a call back about five minutes later telling me she was gone.
My prayers will be with you and your family and I will pray that things come out well for your mother in law.
Have a great week at work and I am glad you love your job. Good Night as well.
