Lets start with the fact that all night I have totally felt sick, like flu coming on sick. I felt weak, queasy, and I couldn't eat dinner( I don't know if its because I'm a bad cook, or I really am sick) So of course I am freaking out because I don't want Berkeley to get it, and tomorrow I'm going to California for 2 weeks to be with my sister and her newborn baby ( bad sign number one) and then take care of my mom after she has surgery (bad sign number two)
Which brings me to my next subject, my mom having surgery. My mom has stage 1 breast cancer and was diagnosed about 3 months ago. It hasn't been too hard to cope with mostly because her survival rate is 97%. But I know my mom has been a little emotional, which is totally normal and ok, but now that the surgery is next Tuesday it is racking my mind. Mom, just know I am thinking of you and will be praying for you. I'm so glad that I can be there for her and take care of her. I feel privileged to be the one kid out of seven to have that opportunity.
Now my day...home ALL day. Brooke came over this morning, then I cleaned my house, then just stayed home all day. So weird, but I don't even mind.
Tomorrow we go to the design center for our house for the second appt and it is so hard deciding what the right things to add and not to add. I'm purely thinking resale, and what options would be the most beneficial with out going overboard.
A distant friend, just had a baby this morning that has spine ebifida. ( I think that's how you spell it) I read her emails and saw the pictures and it brought me to tears seeing the miraculous things that have been happening. From all the prayers, this baby is doing so well and hopes to be doing well in the future. It made me think about how blessed I am and what wonderful and strong people they are for going through this journey in their life.
Last but not least, LOST was so good tonight and I love when the shows are good, unlike last weeks. I love that show so much it is probably creepy.

Hi Jillian, I don’t know if you remember me, but I came over and borrowed a few pictures from you of your wedding dress right before I got married. I just wanted to say hi and tell you that I think your daughter is so precious. She is always dressed so cute! I love the pictures you took of Brooke’s kids you are a good photographer! I am sorry to hear about your mom. I hope everything turns out ok. I hope you have a good weekend!
