We are home!

After waiting almost 4 hours for the darn prescriptions to be filled, I think we all had high blood pressure!! Luckily, the pass was fine and we made it home around 7pm. We arrived to a sparkling clean home, thanks to some special cleaning fairies (thank you thank you thank you!) and a small welcoming committee.

Dad and Melissa unpacked the car and I unpacked things in the house. We finally wound down enough to think about bed around 11:45pm. We got Mom settled into Dad's recliner with everything she needed at her fingertips. I did a few things in my room and came out to the kitchen for a glass of water. She and I ended up talking for over an hour. :)

This morning, we're just trying to adjust to being home and figuring out what Mom needs. Her medications are super confusing, but I think Dad's finally got a handle on those. We also didn't get a lot of rest last night, so we're trying to veg a little this morning since we're expecting quite a bit of company today!

Some other happy news...I entered a blog contest a few weeks ago to name this funky mannequin:

I named her "Stella" and it was chosen!! I won a handmade apron by Miss Lila Tueller (http://lilatuellerdesigns.blogspot.com/). It was a great surprise!! I never win anything!!!
