The Family Business

I guess it's appropriate that my daddy has worked in the freight industry for so many years because my mother is quite the DISPATCHER! While helping me deal with the past week of side effects, I have never seen anyone take so many phone calls; and, many of them involve moving people from one place to another or picking someone up, etc............

Over the course of one day Judy might be seen doing any of the following things:

• changing bed sheets
• taking kids to school/picking them up (at numerous campuses)
• taking items to school that were forgotten at home
• running to Walmart for just about EVERYTHING
• running someone to the doctor (lately, it's always me)
• running the vacuum just before the cleaning ladies arrive
• mixing up a quick batch of mac and cheese for the kids
• waiting patiently beside me at the oncologist for yet another treatment
• answering all the concerned phone calls from family and friends as to my health status
• worrying without ceasing about everything and everybody that make up her family.
• and primarily, you can see Judy EVERYDAY standing by in case one of the family needs her for some reason..............and, we always do.

Round four of chemo has been awful. Today is Wednesday and I feel better but not 100%. This chemo is not fun stuff. Two more rounds to go. Thanks for all the care and concern.
