strike This morning didn't start out so great. Shitty really. I woke up at like 6:15 so I went and made a cup of coffee. It was too early to wake anyone else so I got online. I haven't been on much lately. Hell last night I was in bed at 8:45 pm. I haven't been to bed that early since I was like...10? Anyways, I was on facebook and I had a message from my cousin in Delaware. It said something about how her mom called her and was telling her about my mom and that they were really concerned and she was asked to get a hold of us. If we could tell her if mom was alright and such. I was like...um, what? At the moment I really felt like I was missing out on something. I just talked to Mom thursday to tell her that I had canceled the Halloween party. I knew she was sick...she gets pnemonia every October it seems. Hell she missed last years party because of it. I knew her doc was out of town as well. But then I thought maybe they were just talking about mom being stressed and losing her sanity because of Megan. So, Jeff gets up and I tell him. It's too early to call Mom and find out what's going on. She probably, on a normal day, would have been up but I knew that she was sick and would probably be sleeping. So, my anxiety kicks in and I'm all shaky and stuff because I can't imagine anything ever happening to my Mom. We take the kids down to get on the bus and go to work. Jess told us yesterday that we were just gonna have an easy day today to give us a bit of a break from moving the birds but sometimes shit happens and I really didn't want to be at work when she said something else would have to be done. Jeff kept telling me things were probably fine but then it made us wonder about a conversation he had with my brother Sunday night. My bro had called and said that him and Opie might come up that night. He had also said something about mom and Jeff thought it was something like "I don't know about mom" which he took to mean that she might be coming. He wasn't home when my bro called him and he told him to call me and gave him the number. He never called me so we started cleaning in case mom showed up. I didn't think that she would because it was evening and I don't know it just wouldn't be like her really. Now we were kinda wondering what he might have meant. Jeff then said to call my sister Jenn because she would be up with having to get the kids off to school. I did. I was like do you know if something is up with mom? She told me that Mom was in the hospital and had been since like 4 am monday morning. I just bursted out crying. I was like wtf?! it's wednesday and you didn't call me?! She said that Megan said she would call me and that little bitch didn't! She told me that mom pretty much has pnuemonia but it was just really bad this time and had to go to the hospital. She couldn't breathe and had tried all her medication plus my sisters that she had for the kids when they have RSV. She has asthma same as me. Plus she had alreay gone to emergicare (it's for minor emergencies instead of going to ER) and they gave her the z-pack antibiotic and prednisone but that didn't work. They said at the ER when she finally went there that she has COPD. Something typical of asthmatics who smoke and I think smokers in general or something. Apparently you can have it for awhile and just don't know it until it flares up which typically happens when you sick or something. Anyways, after finding out more stuff and crying I got off the phone. Later I actually called her at the hospital and talked to her for a bit. She definitely still sounded like mom! lol. She was worried cause Jennifer had gone and plastered her being sick on facebook and she was worried family would start coming down and she didn't know if her house was clean lol. She also told the docs she wanted to be gone by wednesday or thursday because of Halloween. She already called Megan and told her the house better be clean because she wasn't gonna be able to come home and do it and neither would dad with having to work. I just laughed. Then I went on facebook and told the family that she would call when she got home. I'm still worried as hell though. I guess we'll see. :/
