Mom's surgery and stuff
I know I haven't updated in a really long time (sorry). This is only going to be a brief update.
Tiff and Matt got back friday before New Year's instead of Thursday night. Their plane in Frankfurt spent an extra hour between de-icing and waiting for various reasons to take off. So they were an hour late to Dulles and missed their flight (actually they made it but since "the airline closes the gate 10 mins prior to take off" they missed it). So they had to stay the night and catch a flight friday morning (this flight,from the same airline, kept the gate open for an extra 20 mins. waiting for people >:-( ). So I didn't see them until the following monday due to being in Cleveland.
Tiff and I are currently job hunting b/c she needs spending money and I need a job that can give me enough hours so I can afford school. I have an application in to Max and Erma's since they were the only one's actively hiring and I have a bunch of applications for places that are "always taking applications".
Mom's hip replacement surgery was yesterday and she is doing well. She said the incision really hurts but it's a different pain than she's had for the last year and a half. The biggest thing she was complaining about was that she can't bend her knee (cuz it's strapped to this foam thing) and that's making her knee stiff and sore. She's actually had a couple pain free moments b/c they've got her on a morphine pump. We went to visit her this morning and she was up and sort of walking with a walker. PT got her up and had her walk to the door and to a chair for a bath and said "OK, we'll be back in a hour to move you back". 20 mins later the nurse has to help her back to bed b/c she was feeling faint. She was getting back into bed when we got there.
I didn't get to stay very long since I had to come to work, and I'm kinda pissed about that. Last night Tiff tells me we're going to meet Matt at Bob Evans at around 8am. When I got out of the shower (at 2:00am) I went upstairs, set my alarm for 7:20 so I could get up for breakfast. 8:00 I finally roll out of bed, tell Tiff it's 8 and she grunts and rolls over. It was 10:00 by the time we were heading to breakfast and Tiff's wondering why I'm snapping at her and generally being bitchy. I got less than 6hrs of sleep and I only got to see mom for a little over an hour. I'm also mad cuz Tiff has turned into "little miss drill sergeant" at home. For those who don't know me or my family, we're not exactly housekeepers. So to get ready for Mom's homecoming we have to clean up a bit. The reason my shower was so late is cuz I was cleaning until like 1:30. Then before we leave this morning she's like "do you think you can finish cleaning under the coffee table today?" I told her I had to work at 1 and needed time to do my latin. I know that reading it, it seems like it shouldn't be that bad but ever since she got married she's kinda treated me like I was the little sister. When you're 25 and your 23 year old sister is acting like she's your mom.... Needless to say it's really aggrivating and it tends to piss me off.
Okay, I'm done venting now
