Well, so anyway, I really stuck my neck out there this morning and e-mailed my mother with the suggestion that we go to Kansas and help her pack her things and put them into storage and then bring her back home to live with us. I did this very gently so as not to offend her and also explained the reasons why this would be the best thing to do.

I think that she has already responded to this e-mail but, I don't want to look yet. She will either respond with a flat "NO" or she will ignore my request completely. I have decided not to read the e-mail until after my staff meeting this morning.

My mother is a very independent woman and could be easily insulted by my request. I will blog some time about her coming out of her dependence! I remember this triumphant time very well!

Well, thank God for South Texas humidity. I looked in the mirror and gave a silent shreek when I saw my hair while ago! The humidity should straighten it our before I show up at work this morning. Gotta run!
