Very Worried

Happy Monday Shopaholics! Today I'm taking a little "break" from blogging...do you ever get sick of yourself? I'm sick of myself and sick with worry.

I'm worried to death about my Mother, who has been sick for weeks. I took her for a CT scan last Thursday, and am taking her to yet another dr. appointment tomorrow. Mother has Crohn's disease, she was diagnosed many years ago. It has been in remission for quite some time, but appears to be back with a vengeance.

We should know more after tomorrow's appointment with a new gastroenterologist. Please say a little prayer - at this point, I'm hoping for no hospital stays or surgeries - but am worried one or the other may be in order. :-(

Sorry today's post isn't very upbeat...it just seems hypocritical to blog about something else today. Thanks for reading and have a Marvelous Monday!

    Oh no! While I've just started reading your posts, and will miss the blogging, being with your mother is what is most important right now. Best wishes for her!

    Hi Lori,
    I'm thinking about your mother. If she wants to see a GI in Pensacola I can refer you to a good friend of ours. Also, my cousin's husband is a GI in Mobile if you need another opinion.
    Hang in there!

    Praying for you and your Mom. My Dad has been in hospital or nursing home since January, so I know how scary it is. Hopefully, she won't need that! xoxo

    Prayers headed your way!

    P.S. I received my giveaway package this weekend, and love all of my little goodies. My keys are already on the Lilly keychain. And yes, South Park has always been my go-to place for Lilly. They seriously know me by name there, and actually when I was at the beach last week, I still managed to purchase some sale items (through email), that are still awaiting me to come pick them up. :)

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
