Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Helping Family

Why is everyone I know falling apart? Hubster has his chronic back problems, another friend is suffering from severe joint pain, and now my baby brother has to have neck surgery to repair a couple of herniated discs. They haven't yet scheduled the surgery but are in the process. They'd like to get it done within the next 30 days since he is currently losing feeling in his arms and fingers. I know he's anxious and I've offered to go down and stay with him for a couple days right after the surgery. When I told Hubster of my plans he said "We can talk about it." I'm sure he didn't mean for it to sound like it did. I'm not asking for permission. My brother needs me and I'll be there for him. I'll just have to make arrangements for the kids while I'm gone. I guess that's what he meant. We'll talk about the arrangements. Right?

  1. Yes - that's what I meant - I know you want to be ther for your brother as I would want to be there for mine (if I had any). We were just on the phone at the time we discussed this, you were heading out for girls night out and I was helping Mom get dinner on the table for everyone and didn't want to A) have this conversation via phone and B) leave her hanging. That was it. Don't read more into "We can talk about it" than there is. I didn't say we Can't talk about it - I said we CAN talk about it. Have a Great Day and hope your throat is feeling better - LOVE YOU! Andy
