WEDNESDAY...
Well, we are half way through VBS and it is so much fun!!! I love being with the kiddos and providing the snacks for them. We were reviewing their bible verse yesterday, and they did fantastic. I told them so and asked "Why am I even here?" They all yelled, "Because you are the snack lady!" lol
About 11:15, while getting ready for my last group, my phone rang. It was mom, so I answered, but she had hung up. So I called her back and got her voicemail. I called again and she answered. I asked what was up and she said "Stef, can you come?" I said, "What's wrong?" She replied, "I fell and hit my head, it's bad." So I grabbed my purse, and headed to her house. When I got there she was sitting at the table, and it was pretty bloody. I called 911 and she was taken to the hospital. She had several small ruptures of the blood vessels on her brain, which caused bruising, so they transferred her to another hospital. At this point she is still there. They are monitoring her for swelling around the bruised areas. Not sure when she will come home, but I am thankful it wasn't worse. Evidently, she decided she would do her own laundry. Her washer is in the lower level of a split level home. When she got to the foyer, she decided to back down the lower level and fell backward, hit her head and shoulder on the wall, causing a cut on her head, and causing some small vessels to rupture in the front of the brain. When my phone rang, and it was mom, all I could think was "It was the second day of VBS when dad died last year...", and it really scared me. I got home last night about 9:30, after stopping by Kroger to get supplies for today's snack at VBS. Hubby crushed the 5 packages of Oreo cookies, and then I added the cream cheese and mixed it with the beaters. They made "Rocky Road Stones" out of them, then rolled them in powdered sugar. We finally got to bed at about 1 am. Today, I left the house at 7 to go to VBS, then by mom's, then to the hospital, and got home about 6:15 this evening. I am a little tired tonight, especially since I didn't eat ANYTHING at all, all day long. Came home and had some roast and eggs. Thankful that I got everything for tomorrow while I was at Kroger last night, and for my sweet friend, Tonya, who baked 100 cupcakes for the snack tomorrow. She saved me!!!
I am getting plenty of exercise working VBS, but my eating has been sporadic, so I'm not sure where the weight is. I need to do a weigh in, if I can remember to do it.
Well, that's about all the news that's fit to print from my corner...hope all is well in your's! I will TRY to catch up with all of you in the next day or so!
TTFN!!

Hope your Mom feel better soon - and as for you - you'd better start find your own "Snack Lady"!

Oh gosh Stef....not only for your mom's injury but for the timing of all this. I can't imagine how fast your heart must have been beating. You try to take care of yourself. Your mom is in the absolute best place for the kind of monitoring she needs right now. Many prayers and hugs....

Steph, I hope your mom recovers quickly. That's so scary! I agree with the gals on this one - you have to take care of yourself if you want to do a good job taking care of everyone else! You must eat!

So sorry.... Your mom, sounds like she finds it difficult relying on people, to do things for her. Independant.... Which is good, but it does set you up for accidents. I do hope they sort her out soon x

Oh Stef, what a fright you had especially because of the timeing regarding your dad, it shows these feelings of shock never really leave us. It sounds like you are a chip of the old block as your mum clearly wants ot get on with things herself as you do, you are always trudging off here,there and everywhere doing something for other people as well as yourself. You sound like you have it all sussed to me Stef. I always enjoy reading about your life, where you keep yourself active. Best regards to your mum and try and eat something through the day or you well run yourself down. i get the shakes and get very tired if i miss food through the day. Take care of you too. Love Sazy xx

My prayers for you and your mom. We go through these falls with my mom too often. And usually she breaks something as she has horrible, horrible osteoparosis. Worst part is they can't seem to determine why she is so unstable on her feet. And of course she doesn't use her walker all the time like she should.

Oh the falls ---my mother had 3 in 3 months when she was 88--then no more and she lived until 94. Hope this is the last for your mother. Every trip to the hospital trip hurts everyone. Hope your July is Stress free.
