Matthew's mom called..very distressed (could tell by the Maaaa voice)..on her way home from work w/hungry, tired kids in the car.....her car dies, in the middle of a busy intersection...luckily the Suburban rolled enough to get out of the intersection....I told her keep the flashers on & DH & i & Ds would come..I had my car w/ car seats in it & the boys w/ truck & chains & jumper cables.


Do you think people would give us a break for 1 second...they could see we were trying to transport babies into another vehicle....obviously something is wrong......NOOOOO...they are beeping & almost knicking my butt..while trying to Shannon in car !!! Geez.... Well got everyone home & car is fixed....catalitic converter was totally clogged & shut down whole car !!!!


NOW>>> The story gets worse.......DD that just had her leg done....calls.me....again the voice Maaaaaaa....can you come get me !


ME (sensing pain in her voice)  Where are you....are you ok


DD...I am at the Emergency Room....I am in horrendous pain...cryin...snif.sniff. they checked me for blood clots......CAN U COME GET ME


ME...Yes..yes...yes...what ER....how did u get there ?


DD I drove myself....!!!   Can Dad or Michael come too to drive my car home?


ME...YES...will be ther in 10 min


Off we go again ..in a total nervous whirl...Poor DD was in horrible, & obviously had been givin some pain meds...she was in the lobby, in a wheel chair..looking so sad...I could tell she had been crying..she was shaking.....my poor dear DD, my heart just broke right then & there...but, had to swallow that horrendous lump & be caring Mom !!


So dh was waiting at the door...got DD out of wheelchair & she hugged me to hobble off the curb..still shakin....DH said he had the heat on high for 30 min ride home..I drove her Jeep home.


I don't know why she went to work.....she told me that the Dr said it was ok to go....but, she must have been in pain leaving her house in the am ! Poor Cameron was soo happy to see Mommy & tried to hug her around her legs...she screamed Noooo pleez ! We got her on the sofa..legs propped up w/ 2 down comforters on her...I found myself stroking her forehead & brushing back her hair..just like when she was little...asking her now is that ok.....as dh & her dh just stood there staring at her....Geez, once a mom always a mom...no matter how old they are !


Now hopefully Catherine's Mom does'nt have some calamady today...I don't think my nervous sytstem could take another  phone call saying Maaaaaa !


Sorry this is so long...but just had to get it all off my chest. & share my nerve-wracking phone calls !

Oh, my gosh, my heart was pounding reading your post!! Thank God they were able to reach you and thank God you could get there quickly!! I cannot imagine cars beeping their horns at you!! Your poor other DD with such pain in her legs. Bet she won't go to work tomorrow! I so hope all will be well from now on.


Now I'll go read your other post and hope it's not more stress for all of you!
