Today B and I are setting up for our city’s Founder’s Day craft fair. The event is tomorrow but we’re able to set up our tables and display our goodies this afternoon. A lot of our craft ideas have come from Pinterest which is the perfect website for people like me. I am inspired by so many wonderful things on that site! I found the cute little snowman wrapper here.
This craft fair could not be happening at a worse time though. Cutie Pie is sick. He threw up twice yesterday. So all of the last minute errands that I needed to do for the craft fair have been kind of pushed aside to care for my baby. Also, B’s mother-in-law is in the hospital with pneumonia and three cancerous masses at various spots throughout her body. I received a phone call from Flash (B’s husband) last night at 10:30 saying that his mom had taken a turn for the worse and he needed me to be with his kids while he ran to the hospital. B was already at the hospital since she was planning to work a night shift as an RN.
Flash’s mom stabilized during the night but she’s still on life support and no one really knows what’s going to happen from here. Flash woke me up at 6:45 am this morning so that I could go home to be with my family. I’ve been in a fog ever since. J let me sleep for a little while longer and took Wildman to school. Cutie Pie is still home sick and is napping. I’m so worried about Flash’s mom.
The kicker is that today is B’s 40th birthday. What a way to celebrate this milestone. Flash had a surprise party all set up for tomorrow afternoon after the craft fair. But now those plans have been scrapped. I’m hoping to still do something special for B even if it’s just taking her out to lunch today.
Gumball machine idea came from here.
