  <title>this bulletin board thread still makes me laugh</title>
  <link>http://bastalavida.livejournal.com/4550.html</link>
  <description>and she wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Xmas gift for the in-laws, is this OK?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to get them a pack n play for when they have our baby at their house, which I don&apos;t anticipate will be too frequently, but it&apos;d be nice for him to have a place to sleep or hang out and I&apos;d just as soon pick out one that I know is safe. I found a nice Graco one. Then I remembered that SIL is having a baby four months after ours - they&apos;re more likely to be watching her baby a lot. Should I get them a &quot;twin&quot; pack n play (which, of course, is more expensive) or just say WTF, if they want to use this one for our niece/nephew, then so be it?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now that&apos;s insane starting mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its so whack i thought it was a joke, but this b was serious. &lt;br /&gt;i found humor in it so don&apos;t go act a fool and dig deep into it.</description>

  <description>hey, look, listen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today my mother was very aggitated. she is going thru so much &lt;br /&gt;and i wish there was something else i could do for her but i know i am doing all that i can. we had a little girl come and pray with us for the first time. one of my mothers home care nurses would always tell us that she would pray for my mother with her niece. her niece is a four year old little girl and this little girl is blessed by the lord. she would pray for my mother over the phone to give her comfort, this 4 year, old beautiful child, praised for my mother like i have never heard before. today my mother urged us to call her because she wanted to hold her eyes open for this little girl, whom she calls her angel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she came over, and our entire family prayed with her and this little miracle led us in prayer. it was amazing to everyone that hadn&apos;t heard her, which was pretty much everyone except myself. then we all gathered, prayed the rosary as we usually do. my mom has had nothing but sorbet and slushees as that is all she craves. we all just spend all the time we possibly have with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today, just as i was about to step out of the room for a breather my momma tugged my arm as a sign to stay in the room, her face, that beautiful face, gets everything it wants. then after i got her sheets changed we had a surprise guest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; just left my house, it&apos;s 1am and willie g from the midnighters is one of my mothers favorite singer, so he came over after we got a hold of him, he serenaded my mothers beautiful face to sleep by singing 4 of her favorite songs and then leading us all in a prayer. my mother had requested that willie g sing at her funeral services(yeah i know what your thinking, but seriously, still can&apos;t believe my momma planned her passing, but thats how amazingly at peace she is) so yeah he&apos;s gonna do all that, but he was recording tonight and then said he would stop by, which was great, my mom was in shock when i told her the news and was so happy even though she couldn&apos;t show it with a smile, i know she was the happiest person ever. our whole family gathered as she was serenaded to sleep with her favorite songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that woman say&apos;s she loves me and was happy to have been blessed with being my mother. i love her from the crown on her head to the souls of her feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
