Arrgghhhhh... I hate it! The tension is killing me and her frigging phone is still busy! If I don't get her tonight I will not sleep a wink, so you're keeping me company until I talk to her, okay? OKAY?

I need a bunny hug

Of course her line has been busy for hours so I'm guessing the siblings or someone must be talking to her.

I hate making the call, but I will keep trying. I HATE the anxiety of dealing with someone close to me who is battling cancer. I HATE IT

Now that I got that out, I feel a little better. Thanks to whomever is going to read this.

Sorry

my mom does that... she'll just leave a message with a big heavy sigh and the words: "Call me... it's... (sigh)... well, just call me." nervous laugh, click

i'd rather her just say it and let me process it than gear up for the phone call... but i also know people won't leave certain messages on machines...

good luck

Thanks. I am sorry about your dad. You know the feeling My sister's birthday was 28th August, and this December will make 2 years since she passed away. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.

She never does that to me unless it's really big, like when my sister was doing badly or something so this is why I'm so nervous about getting through. And she did do the sighing thing like yours! I wish she had just left the darn message! Must be a 'mother thing.' I will remember not to do that to my kids.

I called mother. It was not good news. Cancer is back in her lungs, so she starts chemo next week. She was crying, and I felt helpless and useless

Now it's my turn to cry. Good night.

aw, that just plain sucks. Sorry Mari. Cancer sucks.

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop with my mom, too....she has been healthy since her chemo and we always hope for the best....but it's always a worry.

Yeah. I know. She'd probably kick my a$$.
I would take it easy on ya. And you look wiry...wily and wiry.

Y'all was some busy little shaved beavers yesterday!!

Had a friend recently tell me "you can call it what you want, but its not a doormat!"


I would put my money on Karen (that nerak spelled backward)in the jello wrestling contest. She has a little of that triumphant cute nerd thing going on that you always see win out in the end of teen movies........and Riss has a little evil homecoming queen thing going on.............but don't fight girls, I's love's ya even


....................Hugs Mari, sorry don't know what else to say
