Eric's mom

As I have been known to call her, had her back surgery last Monday (the 18th). It went well, although the surgery lasted about 2 hours longer than we expected. They didn't get her in a room until late afternoon on Tuesday, when we were finally able to see her. She is doing well, getting out of bed for short walks to help her adjust. She is having a little pain, but all in all I think she is doing real well. (Thank God!)

My mom is here watching Diego for us, (thanks mom!)

If anyone would like Carol's number at the hospital, just e-mail or call me and I will get it right to you!

Hi Di!
Thanks for the advice that you left on my blog! I know I have to be truthful with my friend( her name is Keri) I know that she feels I am avoiding her & I don't want her to be hurt or to think that something is wrong. To make a long story short.... Keri & I are both stay at home Moms, but we do work together at our childrens school at lunch time as lunch aids. Our two youngest children go to the same playschool. Keri & I have a lot in common, we have a lot of the same hobbies(like scrapbooking & photography)We have the same views & beliefs on most things. BUT....where we are very different is Keri does NOT like to be alone. She will neglect housework,obligations etc. to hang out with me. Don't get me wrong, I love to hang out & chat over a coffee or 3, do some scrapbooking while the kids play etc. but not every single day! Sometimes I feel like I am married to Keri instead of my husband!!! I think I spend more time with her! She is always thinking of something for us to do, every day!
I love to do things with my friends. I thank God every day for my friends, esp, Keri because she is a very loving, giving person. There are not too many people like Keri in he world.I am the kind of person that does not mind being alone.I enjoy some quiet time all to myself. As I am sure you well know, when you are a Mom, quiet time is a rarity!The other thing that bothers me is that I am a stay at home Mom for a reason, so I can spend time with my kids & enjoy them. But when she is over every day I feel that she is taking time away from my kids & I. The other day I lied & told her that I had to go to my Mom's & help her finish painting ( A LIE:( But what I really did was go home & read stories to my daughter, baked cookies with her, we made stamp pictures & then watched Dora the Explorer & then walked to get her older brother from school! It was the most wonderful afternoon that we had in a long time!
Anyhoo!! I am rambling here! Sorry! If I keep this up I will have to pay you therapist rates!!LOL Thanks again for your advice...you are right , honesty is the only way with this! THANKS DR. DIANE!
P.S> I was checking out your other blog....keep up the hard work with the weight loss! I have been to Weight Watchers too & it is a great program. I haven't lost much in the past while...I haven't been behaving:( But, that's a story for another time!:P
