It's my first day to sleep in snd my mom calls at 10 AM from the hospital, asking me to pick her up immediately. My dog, hearing that I am awake has a heart attack of joy and starts sliding around my wooden floor. So much for sleeping in.

I would like to note that when my mother is home and not in the hospital we have a very good relationship. I come home usually between 11:00PM and 3:00AM and often she is still awake and she offers me food and I say no and then she starts listening off other foods that she could make in the future and I say that sounds good and she tells me how cute I look and that is the end. If I am home during the day, the routine is pretty much the same although sometimes I accept the offer of food and she talks about how cute I am for longer as my look has not been rumbled by the evening yet.
