10 minutes after I left from visiting Mammaw at the nursing home today, we got a call saying she had been trying to get out of the wheelchair and fell over with it. She managed to come out with some bruises but thankfully no internal problems. We brought her home after that. She is so happy to be back. In her words-"I am just so blessed. I didn't think I would ever get to come home. I am so blessed to have children and grandchildren that love me."
Sweetie-pie.
Couldn't help but be a little frustrated as the home (like our local schools as my sister pointed out) is under-staffed and over-populated. Just glad she's home now!!

What to do...?
I really feel kind of lost without Mammaw to watch every day...Like I don't know what to do..
She really is what makes me get up every morning and get going and out of the house..Now I feel like there's no body to cook dinner for, no one to look forward to seeing, and no reason to leave the house unless there's an errand to run..(not that I cooked dinner for her but I was in a habit of doing that for Chucho until he left..) Like, those are the things that keep the day moving..Now days just seem pretty long I guess without anything to move it forward...If that makes sense..
I miss her..!

Conversation of the day
Mammaw:Where's your husband? Did he kick you out?
Me:No. He's in Mexico. He has to stay until the government tells him he can come back. We're trying to get him residency.
Mammaw: Our government wouldn't do that. Take a man and separate him from his children... I've never heard of them doing something like that.
Me:Yeah, it didn't used to be like that.
Mammaw:Why would they do that...? Mexico is part of the United States.
Me: New Mexico is part of the United States. He's in old Mexico. The country.
Mammaw: Well let me tell you...You'll be lucky if he comes back. He needs to be up here taking care of his children. Where is he?
Me:Mexico. The government wants him to stay there until they look through some papers.
Mammaw:Humph! You don't even have a husband.
Bless her heart.
