Smack dab, right in the middle of my holiday cheer, something always happens.
Tuesday my mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance. A blood clot had formed in her leg, rendering her immobile. Not good. Between teaching and evening conferences I was fortunate enough to have the time to see her immediately after her surgery. She is doing well but frustrated at the bed rest and her inability to take care of herself. We are a self-sufficient lot, us women!
Tuesday was a late evening at school and I was just too tired to watch a movie that we had rented. I decided to just try to relax and call it an early night. A cup of tea, a couple of Christmas cookies and beautiful greens decorating the house. I just love this time of year and I am grateful that mom is doing better.
My mom is a huge fan of the New Christy Minstrels. I could not find a video of her favorite holiday song, but this is one that I really like. Hoping my mom is well enough to leave the hospital soon so that she can listen to her music, in her own home.
