Time Off

I took some time off during July 4Th. I thought I'd have some nice relaxing time. Boy was I wrong! First I had my nieces come up for a visit. Since my sister just had them over for a visit and had a great time, I thought so would I. I ended up feeling like I was a money tree, and all they wanted was me to buy them stuff. Once I said the $$ was gone, the oldest one decided she wanted to go home early. Sort of a slap in the face. So I had them call the mom and have her meet me half way, since they live 2 1/2 hours away. She wouldn't meet me. We got into a huge fight on the phone, nasty words were spoken from both of us. I don't usually let her get to me, but I suppose I wasn't in the mood. I had to drive them all the way home, and then back! The worst part was I had pulled my back out, and it was killing me. That night I get home and find out my mom was in the emergency room. The next morning they decided to come to hospital in the city, so I met them over there. For the next 6 nights she stayed in. The rest of my week was stuck in the hospital. I don't mean to complain about this part, I'm happy I was able to spend time with her, and try and keep her happy. I'm thankful she's better, and on the road to recovery.
It was a long week, and I didn't relax once!
