I just started Dread Nation this morning, and so far am really enjoying it.<br /><br />It is kind of hilarious that we are all going, "Oh, poor puppy," and are mostly oblivious that your mom is also ill. Maybe you need to post pictures of her looking pathetic too? Or maybe not.

She made a remark about how nice and clean the house was. When she stopped back to have coffee two hours later, the house was a total wreck (from my son). When she came in her jaw dropped and she said she would never have bad thoughts about my housekeeping again. People just don't understand. I still have trouble keeping the dishes done and my son is 26, so you aren't alone on that one. Ha!<br /><br />The pear blossoms! I used to cut a bare branch from the tree we had at our old apartment every Easter for our egg tree, and put it in water and it would bloom. I loved it. <3<br /><br />I hope everyone is still on the mend at your house. Your puppers made my Dewey's wrap-up on my Sunday post. I hope her (his?) head has stopped weeping. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-28355041316143275782018-05-04T09:51:08.543-06:002018-05-04T09:51:08.543-06:00Oh gosh, so sorry that April was a rough month for...Oh gosh, so sorry that April was a rough month for you and your family.

Also, I am madly impressed by people who can do 24-hour readathons. Five minutes past the regular time I go to sleep and I feel like I've been up for days with no sleep--I'm a wimp!
