Sometimes My Mom Is Such A Kid

Tonight I went bowling with my mom and Ingrid and Aly. I don't know how long it's been since my mom bowled, but she didn't even remember how the game worked. It was quite amusing. She got a grand total of 60 on the first game. But then, that beats Ingrid's 17.

My Mom on strikes:

• "Look what I got!! Look! Look!" (shouted while jumping up and down and pointing at the screen which proclaimed her name above a giant X)
• "Hey, I got two of those this game!"
• "The only thing about strikes is that you only get to throw one ball." (picture a disappointed frown and furrowed brow)

She really is the perfect elementary school teacher. However, I guess she did have a reason to be in a good mood tonight. Because after a day filled with CT scans, ultrasounds and neurological testing at the hospital, my mom is officially stroke-free!! Hoorah!

Also, I just got home to a letter from my school containing a cheque for $200! That means I am now debt-free and able to start saving for next semester! Yipee skippee!

After a slightly shaky start, today has shaped up to be not so bad after all. I like that. Now if I can just make it through the rest of this week.
