Not sure where to even start since it has been quite a while and far too much has happened...I will say I am SO SO SO happy to see friends here doing SO well
A tiny update I guess - I did make the trip to NM in the beginning August to see my Mom but instead of a visit, we moved here! My daughter and I arrived on Aug 2 and my DH about a month later drove out from the east coast. My daughter and I lived with my Mom and took care of her and then moved to a place to live on our own. I got my daughter enrolled in kindergarten and then my sister and I took care of my Mom for 24hr periods which was a lot of juggling and we did that until 10/12...my Mom went into a hospice facility on Sat 10/13 and she passed away this past Sunday - 11/04. Last week and this week were the hardest and I know the holidays ahead will be difficult. She will be buried next to my Dad in Chicago (my oroginal home) and my brother will have a service there with some close family on Monday 11/19. It is a very very hard thing losing a mother...but she is safe now.
I still have some products and want to get back into it. I am home right now since I lost my job right after I came here and have some unemployment until I can find something here. It is very beautiful here (itis called "Land of Enchantment!) and some adjusting with the warm(er) temps
I look forward to becoming re-acquainted with everyone!
Biki - All I can say is OMG
Take care everyone -
Love,
Patty
