Thanks...and moving on.

I just wanted to say a quick Thanks to all who posted, called, and offered love and support. I have to admit that every time I opened my comments I cried and cried, but mostly because I felt the love - and I'm a Nielson, I'm not sure how to handle love!

Thanks to those who dropped off treats, offered hugs, and most important - smiles.

Thanks to my sister who listened to the gory details; paid attention to the doctors; walked me to the bathroom so my gown wouldn't blow open; quoted Steel Magnolias with me so I would stay distracted; brought me ice packs, disgusting iron drinks, movies, and more; read and researched to answer my questions; paid attention so I didn't have to; and on and on and on....

Thanks to my mom who spoke her best love language and cleaned my bathroom, vacuumed my floors, and changed my sheets; kept me utterly distracted with mindless chatter; bought us lunch, and toilet paper; gave me a hug that was long and hard, and of her own free will; made me cookies; and sat in the ER waiting room until it was okay to go home...

And so the list could go on, my whole family, my co-workers, my students, my amazing husband, my loving Dad...I shouldn't start, it's like the Emmy's I'll forget someone important...Just thanks...

And with that, I'm moving on - at least on my blog - away from the sappy tear jerkers back to the important stuff like....the bathroom remodel! Look we got the vanity in and painted...

(I know it's SO white, I don't think it's going to last, I can't handle white!)
