So I'm not flashing back very far - to the Mother's Day Tea Party Cassidy's kindergarten hosted last Friday. How cute is that picture she drew of us?!

BUT, at Cassidy's party I did flashback to Whitney's Mother's Day Tea Party. We had barely moved to CA, were living with Mindi and Karl, Tressa was a new baby, and I had my gallbladder removed, botched up, spent a week in the hospital while they tried to kill me, etc., etc. Honestly, those first few months of Tressa's life I try to forget. And if it weren't for getting ourselves to CA with family (and friends) closer to help, I don't know if any of us would've survived!

So there I am at Whitney's party when I have another gallbladder attack (maybe it was a panic attack?). I'm in the school bathroom trying to calm down, get through it, get back to Whitney, etc., and all I can think about is that I am so sad for Whitney that her mother's going to die!

I am proud to say that I celebrated another Mother's Day and am in a much better place now! And life is excellent gallbladder-free. Cassidy's party was painless (ok she stepped on my toes in her church shoes and that really hurt) and just a joy. I look forward to Tressa's!



And those are the well-worn church shoes that stepped on me!
