Sounds Of The Season

Ok it was an early morning.  Needed to get to the hospital to meet with Mom's doctor and meet Jenn and Dad there.  She had enough improvement to move back to rehab at St. Ann's today.  She got settled in late this afternoon.  Even though I have heard all the Christmas songs played in the stores since what ??? October...  I haven't really been in the swing of it all.  Got a little groove back this morning on the way to the hospital with John Mellencamp's "I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus" - it's catchy and a good one to belt out in the car.  All energies exhausted by the challenge of today.  Getting the updates for my mother completed and then actually hitting a couple of stores for a Christmas present or two.  There's one more day for that to all get done.  For tonight, the kids are back in the area, so I'm shored up with hugs, and my feet are elevated.  Swelling should come down by morning and then shopping can be complete.  I'll find a few good Christmas tunes to belt out along the way!
