I love my mother.  Here is a conversation that I just had with her:

Me:  When do you want to celebrate your birthday?
Mom:  I hadn't decided.  Angie (my sister) asked me if I wanted to have dinner actually on my birthday, and I told her that was too soon.  That's only the day after tomorrow!

Keep in mind that we have been asking her for 3 weeks when she wanted to celebrate her birthday and what she wanted as a gift.  Yep, two days from now is too soon to celebrate.  That is classic mom behavior.  Gotta love her!

Yay!

My father should be able to check out of the hospital tomorrow morning.  They took out the catheter this morning and he has been able to pee on his own without pain.  Of course, he calls it "passing water".  They are keeping him over night just to make sure that everything is okay and they will release him in the morning.  He is in good spirits as always and is thrilled to be going home so he can take a shower and sleep in his own bed.

In other good news, my brother has decided to stop smoking as of April 1st.  He is starting to cut down over the next two weeks.  Wish him luck!
