That started my fantastic summer. My mother-in-law had an extremely difficult surgery three weeks ago and will probably spend the rest of the summer in the rehab hospital, so I know about hospital sitting. I am sure this is not how you planned your summer either. Hope you get a break. I don't know what it is about hospitals, but I feel like I have worked eighty hours when I come home at night and then the home life is there to stare me in the face. We miss your posts. I was keeping up with the oil spill data from your end of the Gulf before we ever saw any of the oil.

She can "smoke" that in the hospital and it would sure help her healing and health if she switched completely to e-cigs. <br /><br />My hubby and I haven't had a regular cig in about two months. <br /><br />http://adriennescatholiccorner.blogspot.com/search/label/electronic%20cigarettesAdriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-56945350940033818532010-07-15T22:06:13.139-05:002010-07-15T22:06:13.139-05:00I've been through this sort of experience with...I've been through this sort of experience with my Mom.
