My mom has not been doing well :( She had to get her medications changed and since then it has been a roller coaster ride. She and my dad were supposed to leave for a week long trip to Spain but they canceled because Mom thinks she had a stroke. I've noticed when I've called her that her speech has been a bit slurred and she's been "off" but I thought it was because of the change in medication.
Please pray for my Mom... I hope she gets back to her old self soon.

Vote please...
I bought these curtains knowing C doesn't like them. They're hanging on probation. He says it doesn't go with anything else in the room... I say it's a much needed pop of color and we can get pillows to bring the blue elsewhere....
What do you think?

Yup... I did it.
Everyone else was doing it so why not!? I am in love with our tree this year... really bright and fun. T did a happy dance and jumped around when he saw it :)
*Clearly I need to fix the right bush.... couldn't see it until it was lit. Oh well!
