Frantic Fun-ness!

I took these pictures with my cell phone because, of course, I forgot to take the camera along. New haircuts, playing at park, lunch at at McD's, popcorn and toy at Target, tortilla soup and cupcakes for dinner, fire in the pit with smores and then "Curious George" until I thought I'd go mad. That was our Friday!

Among that fun was a call from my mom's asst. living center in Idaho that she had a bad spell. They thought she might have had a stroke and maybe a blood clot in her leg. That's scary when I'm 800 miles away, one of the drawbacks of our moving to Arizona. She went to the hospital for an unltra sound. We'll know more today. Doctor's didn't think it was a stroke. She'd been on oxycodone for pain in her hips and legs and that seemed to have been causing the disorientation. She's 89 so she's fragile. I worry about my little mamma.

When we were jobless we didn't have money to go see her very often and now we have a job and could better afford the trip, Rick can't get the time off. Sigh... I probably will have to drive up alone soon. We are going to a car and art show this morning and then boating at Lake Pleasant this afternoon. I've been ordered to pack a picnic, so I hope it's warm enough for eating on the "beach" as Rooster calls the shore.
Either way it should be great. The boys are delightful and challenging as those of you with grandkids know. Lots of love and lots of chaos. The house is a total wreck and there are crumbs and crud every where.
We have two extra dogs in addition to the kids. One is a lab puppy and is absolutely crazed and the other is a sick schnauzer who has allergies and issues galore. I can clean Monday after the horde have advanced on to Las Vegas. Until then I'll try to relax and enjoy. Sometimes that's hard for a psycho-uptight-clean-freakish grandma. I need to RELAX!!!
