The Last Week of 2008 (continued)

Tuesday I had to work so I couldn’t be home when the AT & T tech came to fix my U-verse again. Oh I don’t think I told you all with everything that was going on my U-verse went out again. I asked my son to come over and wait for the tech. All day at work all I could think about was the waterbed; I decided to leave work a little early. When I got home my son was waiting and to my surprise my son had drained the waterbed. He said the tech had also came and told him the reason my U-verse was out was because the power was out for my U-verse and when Consumers got the power back on my U-verse would come back on.

I asked my son if the power was back on at my mother’s house and he said no. Then I asked why he didn’t bring my mother over here? He told me he asked her if she wanted to come with him and she said no. So I called her and asked why she didn’t want to come over? She said it’s not that cold here I didn’t believe her, I told her to pack some stuff and I’ll be over to get her. I didn’t want her getting sick. She had lung cancer and part of her left lung removed. She also had a stroke after her surgery and sometimes she doesn’t think clearly.

It wasn’t long after my mother got to my house that I remembered how much fun it was to live with her. You know I’m kidding right. So now I had to house guests my son and mother. Smokey and Tiger didn’t know what was going on. Someone was in their mommy’s bed. Because I’m a good daughter I let my mother sleep in my bed and I slept on the waterbed with an air mattress in it. My son went back to my mothers to sleep. All I can say is it was the longest 48 hour I have spent in a long time. Her power came on around 2:00 on Thursday. So after letting her house warm up again I took her home. She was ready to leave and I was ready to take her home.
