Happy Friday! Yesterday my mom had surgery and is doing well. Thank you everyone for your emails, texts, inboxes, etc. Her surgery was done at St Vincent in Little Rock where she worked for 21 years. My dad retired from UAMS and taught sophomore medical students Parasitology and Immunology, so my parents are kinda superstars at the hospital. Pretty much every physician in Little Rock was a student of my dad's and everyone loved my mom(she worked in the Lab as a Med Tech; yeah, my parents and family are crazy smart and between the 5 of us, we have 10 degrees) so it's kinda like a mini reunion and makes the stay not too bad as far as hospital stays go. She seemed a bit down yesterday afternoon so I scooped up Jake and Ellie and brought them in for a visit. That seemed to perk her up and then Mark came later and brought Rader so that cheered her up even more. I went to visit her this morning before I came to work and she had a good night so I will go check on her again at lunch and bring my dad some non hospital food. St Vincent does not do too bad, but a change is always nice.
Last night I took princess and her bff to see The Fault In Our Stars. Wow! Amazing. The book was excellent, a tear jerker, and the movie was very true to the book. I pictured Hazel and Gus exactly how they were casted in the movie. I am not gonna lie, I openly boo hooed through most of the movie. Well, me and the rest of the theater. It was sad, funny, uplifting, and an all around great story. One of my favorite lines in the movie and book was when Hazel tells Gus she loves him and how she fell in love with him. She said it was like falling asleep. It starts off slow and them bam! You are there. I can so relate to this because this is how I fell in love(not lust, that was at first get go) with hubby. We started off having fun and being casual, hubby even said he don't want to get serious, and I still joke with him and ask him when we are going to get serious, and then bam. It's like I woke up and it hit me that I was in love with my Mark. Sigh, getting mushy and sentimental, but that is how I am. I love romance and love and everything that goes with it. It is to be welcomed and embraced. Been hurt before? Oh well. It is better to have loved and loss then to never to have loved at all, or something like that. Go love someone. And if you don't truly love that someone you are with, fix it or move on. Life is too short to be miserable. Being in a miserable relationship is robbing you of the happiness you deserve with someone else or just being happy by yourself.
This weekend is dedicated to my mom and my Yayas. I am having dinner with my Yayas tonight and then some quality pool time with them tomorrow. I love my Yayas. I love that one of our Yayas has a pool! Thanks, JM!!!! My Yayas are drama free and it is awesome. We are all in different stages of life, some married, some divorced, some never married, some have kids, some do not, some have little ones, and some have kids in college. It is great because we all have something to offer the other in whatever situation arises in our lives. We have each others backs, we swap furniture, kids, food, wine, bubbles, and have so many laughs together. I hope you have a Yaya/s in your life. True friends are amazing things.
Sunday, I think I am going to snuggle on the couch with hubby all day and watch Games of Thrones till my eyes bug out. We started the series and are hooked. Thanks SM for getting us hooked! Love ya.
Hope you have some fabulous weekend plans.
Hugs!
