I have just spent an hour and a half forcing my ice cream maker to turn by hand. I had to get the ice cream made because Chip's family will be here tomorrow but I really wanted to throw it out the window. So instead of thinking very nasty thoughts about the ice cream maker, I thought about what my next post might be. I ended up with several ideas and hands that are too sore to type.
My mom is one of the strongest people I know. Not only does she have 2 daughters with Huntington's Disease, she has also lost her dad, her mom and her husband in the last 3 years. My dad(step-dad) got sick very quickly with a neurological disorder and ended up dying in a matter of about 3 years from ruptured intestines. So she is all alone for a second time. She says that the only reason for living anymore is to try and stay healthy long enough to take care of her girls. That is sad isn't it? Me and my mom and my two sisters all live within 5 minutes of each other. Me and my mom and my older sister all attend the same church and our children attend the same school. It is a little too close sometimes for me but I do love them! Me and my sisters are night and day. Imagine me in the middle. My oldest sister is at one end of the spectrum. She is very conservative and she's always happy. Not only is her cup always half full - she thinks it is completely full. For those of you who know me, that can be very annoying. I wish I could always be that positive but I am a realist. My youngest sister is the complete opposite. She is very open minded except about the whole HD thing - she would prefer to ignore it! As different as they are, I love them both very much. My sisters and my mom and some of the best friends I have.
Tonight I am thankful for a clean house. If you know me, that doesn't happen very often!
