early arrival of the Easter Bunny?

Nope, it's just Mommy! :)

The past few days, she has been either crawling, hopping or limping around the house. (She had a little procedure done and is supposed to be staying off that leg.) I find it all kind of funny and like to chase after her. :)

It was a weird week around here. First I was sick (feeling soooo much better now!), then our dog Barney got sick, and then Mommy's situation.

Let's hope that this week is uneventful...that means you too Shakespeare! And Mom, here's to a clean bill of health for you!

* Mommy's note: It's totally no big deal, and I'm sure everything is going to come back fine. But I did get very emotional today. While Max was taking his nap, I was cleaning my office (a good sedentary activity) and watching a good ol' Lifetime movie. The mom just had given birth to a preemie and then was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It hit me in the gut and I cried, cried and cried. What would happen if something happened to me? Who would take care of Max? Fortunately, I feel very confident we are both here for the long haul...but the thought of me ever not being here for him scares me tremendously.

Amy,
I am glad everyone is feeling better and I hope your leg is better soon.
I also know the feeling you are having even tho Eva has her dad he is not all up on everything like I am and he has never taken her to a doctor or therapy appointment. What would happen to my family if something happened to me? Its something I think every mom thinks of once in awhile.
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva

Hey Amy, you have been on my mind a lot the last few days and I had to get on and see how things were going for you. I am not at all suprised it hit you like that, it's only natural. I know both times I was potentially facing the same thing (yes, there were 2), even though I, too, was fairly confident everything would be fine, I still had those same thoughts and feelings. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and if you need someone to talk to feel free to call (354-3660) or email me. My kiddos are both busy doing their own things, Troy is worshipping his big screen :), and I will just be hanging out all afternoon and evening. Take care, Gina

Amy,
I hope you are better soon. I had a mini nervous breakdown this am. Even though people have totally different situations......we all have stress! It was all I could do to just keep from crying today in the shower. I just let it flow. I felt that I had not been a very good mother/wife/friend. I needed a good cry and it felt good. We are all in this together. I know it scares you to think if something happened to you. But my friend, do not fear. Do not fear. Rest your mind.
I hope your week is a good one. May your mind be full of positive thoughts and may your body be healthy and strong.
-Shannon :)
