Another Mothers Day tomorrow

Happy Mothers Day!!!!!
Here are the beautiful girls of the family. And 4 of them are Mothers! Well if you count the grand dogs Buffy and Megan are mommies of happy puppies!!!! Happy Mother's Day to you girls. I apologize that your cards won't get there for Mother's Day. Just can't seem to get things going in the right direction. Too many irons in the fire as they say.

Sarah let me say I'm sorry for being short and bitchy. I was under so much pressure to get that dress done and I felt inadequate by not being able to be a attentive MAMMY to the boys yesterday. They got the short end of the stick. Hope you liked the Mother's day present that Dawson and Carson helped make. Zek made one for Amy that was similar.

Today going to go get Gma something for Mother's day. I should have already got that done.She will probably think I died because I haven't called in the last 2 days. I just get tired of having to call. That is like a little kid having to do something. The dress for my friend at work is done. Took it to her last night. Thank goodness that little project is over. What a night mare. But, you know me and my big heart. I just couldn't let the girl be disappointed.

Tonight is the retirement party at Lons' friends house. Suppose to be there about 6:30. Hope we don't stay for a long, long time. I don't know any of these people and you know how it can be with no one really to talk to.

I did get a call from my manager that they were really pleased and amazed by my work Wed. down at Monett. Looks good not only for me but for our clinic. That makes me feel good.

Guess the finals are over for Megan and I think Buffy has one next week but I'm not sure about that. I haven't talked to her in the last few days. She is probably stressed out.

Amy sounded good on the phone last night. She and Zek are staying busy. That's a good thing. Know that it is really hard.

Tomorrow hopefully I can just do as I damn well please. No pressure no deadlines, etc. Then Monday back to our clinic, Tues to Fayetteville Ark. for Dad's carotid artery ultrasound at the VA hospital there, then Wed. our clinic and Thurs back to Monett. Friday I am off. Will need it for sure. Wed. is my anniversary date at work so will get my yearly review some time this coming week. Oh boy if I am lucky will get a 3 percent raise. Won't be enough to cover the price of gas. Then the next week I will work Monday the 19th at Monett, Lon goes to his regular Dr. at the VA in Mt. Vernon,Tuesday will be at our clinic as well as Wed. I think. That could change. Then the 22 through the 26th I am on vacation. We usually go somewhere but we don't have the money so we will stay at home. I'm sure there is a lot I can do around here.LOL Then, before you know it June will be here. That month has Father's Day and Portia's birthday. Then July will bring the 4th, Zek, Buffy and Megan's birthday. Dang before you know it Dec will roll around and another new year will be here. Time flies when you are OLD!!!!

So again I say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all. I know that being a MOM is the greatest thing in the world. The love that you feel in your heart for each child can't be measured or compared to anything. It is SPECIAL and WONDERFUL and FOREVER there. No one can change it or make it something bad. As you get older you look back and think of how a tiny baby that you held in your arms for the first time can change your life and bring you such happiness and joy. Thats what you girls did to me. Each one of you so different and so loved.

What a week

Every day brings to us dear family and friends new and different things to either make us happy or sad. We have to have FAITH to get us through. Megan and Buffy are taking finals. Dear Lord, give them strength and let their minds open and make the grades that we know they can make. And Des left for Afghanastan Wed. Dear Lord, keep him safe and be with him as he goes into a strange and dangerous land. Light his path and give him strength to face all the challenges daily. Dear Lord, be with Amy as she learns to be a mother with no one to help her on a daily basis. Give her courage and strength and compassion and love. Be with Zek as he doesn't understand what is taking place.And Heavenly Father, be with Amy and Sarah's mema as she recovers from surgery and faces the unknown of chemo. Give her peace and comfort and just be with the whole family. And dear Lord, help all of us to understand that you are constantly there even if we sometimes forget your presence. Fill our hearts with happiness even when they are breaking, fill our souls with compassion and understanding in times of happiness as well as heartbreak. Help us to walk in our daily lives and light the path when it becomes dim or fading. Help us to make our choices carefully and face the day with determination and inspiration instead of despair and failure. Bless our family and friends. Help us all the understand and be loving in all things that we do through the day. In your name we pray. AMEN


Well, it is Friday and there have been changes and challenges for everyone. Our little Carson is fine. His blood work and urine were fine. He just needs to eat more. Dr. feels that his metabolism is high. So lets feed the boy!!!!! Dawson is all registered for PreSchool for next year. Zek is missing his Daddy and doesn't understand all the changes that are happening. Meg and Buffy are finishing up their semesters at college. Kasey has taken his final at school and once he passes his test will be a full fledge fire fighter. I worked one day at an OB/family practice clinic in Monett this week and it was actually a great day. Lon and his band have a freebie gig on Sat.night. Another fed that he worked with retired and they are playing at his retirement party. I altered a prom dress for my friend Leann that I work with daughter yesterday and will do the final alterations today. Kyle did get the job as frozen foods manager. Gma celebrated her birthday on Wed.. Mother's day is Sunday and I didn't get the cards mailed to you daughters. Bad mom, bad mom. The realtors showed Megan's house again.
Guess that about wraps it up for a bit. Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers. Love to all. Mom
