whoa!

talked to my mom the other day.......

never think of her as "old"......i mean i know she's in her 70's

but she's always been the same MOM ~~that i remember as a kid/teen/kinda adult

(oh, you can't ever be an adult in a family of 8 - EVER! especially when you're toward the end of the 8! ~~ i swear ~~ i've tried!)

this time i recognized her as one of the ummmm......elders (i guess) that i see every day at work (patients in their 60-90's!) ~ it was very weird!

she answered "oh, hi"......i could tell she was distracted, wanted to talk,,,,but also, wanted to get off the phone! tolerated me (for around 4minutes) ~ then ~ buh.....bye!

my brother has told me this happens to him..........and i've pretty much said him, "nuhh unnhhh, nahhhhh, you're just sensitive" ~~ sorry big brother!! sorry!!!!
