Well, it's been a surreal couple of days here at Chez Barker. The first thing I did was get drunk on Saturday and hang around and watch tv with my friends. Believe it or not, it actually helped. Now though, all the arrangements are done so all that's left is going to Louisiana this weekend. It's gonna be a flash trip - fly to dallas on Thursday, travel to LA on Friday - fly back on Saturday. Her obit will be in the Pampa, Amarillo, and Shreveport paper if anyone wants to see it.
You know I just have to laugh (because I've always had a morbid sense of humor) but I find it damn funny that Mom died when she did. I work at Mamma Mia at Mandalay Bay casino here in Vegas, and there are 3 stage managers. Well guess what? In March, Jeff's mom died, Jim's mom died a week ago, and now mine. If that's not proving the law of 3 then I don't know what is. ;)
So, thank you everyone for your kind wishes. I feel kind of disconnected right now from everything (which I know is probably fairly normal) but know that I really appreciate everyone.
Luv lots,
Jenn
