Five on Friday

I managed to make it through the whole week.

That was typed on Tuesday. High hopes, people. High hopes.

In any event, I did manage to make it through the week, although it wasn't easy. Here's my five for the week:

- I defriended my sister on Facebook. I assume she hadn't noticed, because I haven't heard from her, but she stole from my mom again this week and I just couldn't stand seeing her status updates about her partying anymore. I recognize that she's 18 years old, but she's been like this since she was 12 and it's time she grew up. And when she does, she's going to need to make amends because I'm not going to be the bigger person anymore.

Doesn't it sound sad to say that my cutting ties with my sister starts (or ends) with "I defriended my sister on Facebook"? I had actually stopped communicating with her for the most part already, and she was hung over (or something, that's my assumption because I never heard from her) for Christmas and didn't come to breakfast and presents with her nephews so I haven't seen her in a very long time.

- When I made my menu for the week, I forgot that I had book club on Wednesday so I switched it up and made the corn dog bites a la Pinterest for the boys. They loved them. I was supposed to have Maggiano's.

- I was then unable to make it to book club because my grandmother, who had emergency surgery for a brain bleed from a fall earlier this week (did I mention that earlier this week? I can't remember) took a turn for the worse. I spent Wednesday night at the hospital with my dad's family and Spencer, who insisted on coming even though he wouldn't be able to see her in SICU. He's such a sweet boy.

- She's in hospice now, and is completely unresponsive. It will be any day. It's so sad and so terrible, but she would be appalled that she is still with us the way that she is now. It's time for her.

- On top of everything, Spencer managed to scratch his eye and so it's red and he woke up with a little gunk in it after nap time Thursday (he only naps at daycare) so the daycare lady thought he had pink eye. So I had to pick him up early and torture him with eye drops but it's not pink eye. Hopefully she'll keep him today because with a future trip to North Carolina for my grandmother's funeral I really can't take today off too.

And two more good ones because this post has been incredibly depressing:

- I made a new friend! I hope, anyhow. Wednesday I went to a vender lunch, and I got to talking to one of the people there and we had so much in common! She invited me to her book club, and sent me links to local triathlons that she has done and liked, and it was so nice to have something in common. Hopefully it turns into something! Ha! (okay, this sounded a little creepy)

- And Henry has started speaking! Finally! His first word was Car, and he's obsessed. He also definitely says mama, and bye-bye, and ni-ni (night night), and yes and done. We are reading to him more and trying to work on things and he's obviously trying to speak. Exciting!
