Insert Enormous Sigh Here

So, the plot thickens. Yesterday I spent a really great day with my mom in the hospital (of which I will blog about later today and share the details). When I got home I discovered that someone had broken into my mom's house. I know, right - could this possibly come at a worse time? Whoever it was tossed a bunch of my mom's stuff like they were looking for something (which makes no sense). Her clothes are everywhere, her bed is all cattywompus, they pulled out crap all through her bathroom and her closet. The sewing room is somewhat trashed and I know for sure the computer and her expensive jewelry is all gone. We're not sure what else yet, but needless to say, I'll be doing my best to figure all this crap out today.

The idiot burglars were smart enough to come through the back and to find some of her expensive things, but they were dumb enough to leave her purse on the kitchen counter complete with cash, current credit cards and her car keys - can't figure that one out. We're really hoping there's no danger of identity theft, but since I don't have the contents of my mom's house memorized (especially where she kept important documents, etc.) it's hard to know. Since the kitchen was in plain sight and ignored, we're hoping that means they were interrupted and didn't have much time to take things that are truly harmful (like her identity).

In any case, I'll keep you posted, and please add this whole bit of nastiness to you prayers. I won't be making it to the hospital today, as I'm going to try and sort out the whole break-in thing and then I'll be watching the boys so Mark and Monica can have a nice long stint with mom today. I'll let you know what news there is (if any) and I'll try to post about my day yesterday (which was actually very heartening to me).
