Distraction

My husband's family came up for a couple of days, it was a very nice distraction, it was nice to laugh and feel like life was normal even if it was fleeting. Now I am completely and totally exhausted but thats good, maybe it means I will sleep well tonight.

This weekend I am going down to my moms, going to help her organize her medical records and important information. She also wants to start clearing out her house of things she doesn't need. We know of course that she isn't going to die tomorrow but we don't know how long she will have the use of her hands and other body parts so she wants to get it done now. I'm going to attend to her beauty needs such as plucking eye brows, good thing I'm holding no grudges against her because I could go all Mama Burke on her (Grey's Anatomy reference for those who don't watch)

I'm also going to get a tattoo that reminds me of her...when I first started getting tattoos I just picked ones that I thought was pretty, however as I get older I pick ones that have meaning, that represent big things in my life. People often say "do you know how bad those are going to look when you are old? You are going to regret it" but I don't think I will. I will look at my faded , saggy marks and be reminded of the hell of a ride my life has been, the good times I have had and the sad times that I have overcome.
