Well, in the last 48 hours.....
....My mother retired from a career in nursing spanning the last 29 years. Way to go mom! We are so proud of you!!
....I learned that a dear friend has non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which has spread to the bone marrow making it also leukemia. I am buying her an I-pod and downloading some soothing music for her first visit to chemo on June 30th....
....My daughter decided this morning (while I was putting the laundry in the machines) to hang from the banister (stairs) like she has been scolded a million times NOT to and damn near put a hole in her cheek when she fell from almost the second floor. Blood everywhere, trying to figure out what had been injured through the mess and the tears. Didn't go all the way thru but her cheek is swollen and a little bruised. OUCH!!!
I thank my lucky stars she wasn't hurt worse. Shudder to think of the possibilities. We made a little video this evening to document the day (you can't really see the injury in the light, thank God!). Do you think this time she will have learned her lesson?
Hope the next 48 hours is better...going to beach on Monday so will post pics/video when we're done.

thanks Liz! that girl is the source of most of my grey hairs, but she is just like pure joy and I love to watch her fearlessness most of the time, it just scares the crap out of me some days...
oh boy! i hope katie did learn - but i dont know - those fearless ones - it seems to be in the genes!!
Wow! does sound like a rough few hours!!! I hope you'll get to relax some at the beach! but watch out for the fearless one! I've got one of those too, and she has to have one eye on her at all times. Thank goodness she's gotten better as she's gotten older!
Gia I need a leash!!!
