So for those of you who are the praying type, I appeal to you for your prayers. Found out yesterday that my mom had a biking accident and broke her collarbone. There have been quite a few hours here of worrying that there was severe head trauma, but we just got word that the neurologist says she’s A-OK and is sending her home. So we’re heading up to NH for the weekend to cook lots of meals for her and attempt to tie her down; (<– for you Ben) something very difficult to acheive if you know this woman. But, this is when the true Me kicks in – taking care of my sick momma and making her laugh. So I’m feeling quite blessed to get the opportunity.
