I've been busy with my brothers helping my my Mom pack and move up here to East Tennessee. I found an amazing condo for her and we got her all moved in last Thursday. Unfortunately, Saturday evening when I when I picked her up and bring her to my house for dinner and to watch the LSU vs. Ol' Miss game, I wound up taking her to the emergency room.
We knew my Mom's lung cancer had come back last May and she received radiation treatment on two tumors in her upper left lung. One shrunk and one didn't. Evidently her disease is progressing since her oxygen level is low and her carbon dioxide level is high. She's still in the hospital as her doctor is trying to get her O2 level up and her CO2 level down. She is progressing, but very slowly.
So I haven't disappeared and I am making an easy but amazing Thanksgiving dinner.
Also, my oldest homegirl works for American Eagle and over the Christmas Season, AE is hiring friends and family. My baby homegirl, my oldest homegirl's boyfriend and I are working Black Friday. Yikes! But, I could pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity to work along side my babies even if one of them will be my boss! We are working tomorrow evening from 8:45 PM until 5:00 AM Friday morning.
Love and hugs to all of you!

Sorry to hear about your mom. Sending positive wishes your way and hope you have a wonderful day with your family. Have fun working at AE...CRAZY hours!!!
Katherine, Our prayers are with you and your Mom. As for working in a retail store during the holidays, I'd rather pound nails into my forehead! Thirty plus years in retail = total aversion to the business. Hopefully your family's experience at AE was fun or at least interesting. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave & Laurie
