slumber parties

I spoke with Lauren about the possibility of going up with her on Saturday since Papa wanted us to have another "slumber party" (he remembers the night we had Rachel, KK, Lauren and me there). He asked last weekend, "Where are you going?" I told him, "To Fran's - I have a team assignment due and I have to have internet connection." I could tell he was disappointed so I asked him if he wanted us to have another slumber party at his house...he said, "Yes," and smiled slightly. He loves having all of us there.
I'm not sure now that I will come up this weekend because of expenses (gas). I've had so many medical bills lately with myself and the kids and have cut my piano students (and babysitting that child at 5 a.m. during the week) down to 4 instead of 9....for my own sanity! Dylan needs me to be available after school so I don't want to tie myself down to piano students 4 - 5 days a week.
I don't think I mentioned on the blog earlier that Dad seemed so peaceful this past weekend; he was not agitated at all (except for when he sensed the new caregiver's uncertainty about moving him); she was nice but not bery knowledgeable!
