Happy Mother's Day:)

Hello friends:) I feel blessed to have each and every one of you that read this blog. I feel like in the past I have been more honest on here, that in "real" life. Weird. I do know that when I look back at posts from previous times, it does bring a smile to my face to see what I was doing or thinking. So this blog is for me, to remember little things that at the moment I was writing, were important! If it is read, that's great...if it is not, then I will treasure the memories!
I miss these 2 more than I can say:( 

So with that said, I just went to a memorial service for one of my Dear friends Mom. They had an amazing service for her at our local Country Club. It was "ritzy", just like her, but also showed how simple her heart was(She drove a Lexus and had tons of pairs of Birkenstocks). I used to travel with their family, and spent tons of time at their lake place when we were younger. I also was blessed to have sold her several Thomas Kinkade paintings that her children/grandchildren now cherish. What a "wonderful life" she has led. She was 80 years young:) The things her 3 kids said about her, I can only pray that my children "think" about me. She will be missed every single day.

I just finished my 10th day of antibiotics and I made it for 2 nights without cough syrup. Progress!!! I swear the cough syrup was liquid sugar! It was necessary, but gross. I have not been thinking one single, tiny bit about my weight, food, what I should or shouldn't eat. I have been in a free for all with the knowledge implanted in my brain about what I should do. I think for the most part, I make good decisions. I was just ready to go back to Zumba next Wednesday and the gym is closed for 2 weeks! Looks like I have a vacation until the first part of June. Dang:)

Monday hubby and I are going to Missoula MT for shopping therapy. I am excited to get away and eat at my favorite places. It will be a nice quick trip, but I am ready to blow this joint and quit being sick!

On a shocking front, we have one piece of our granite installed. I asked 100 different ways when to expect the rest, and was never given a clear answer. The one piece does look pretty amazing!
finally....
My oldest son has a full day planned tomorrow, none of which includes me, and my twins are taking me to lunch. My own mom is going to the casino. I love the dysfunction of our family:) Not! At least I know my husband loves me and will make sure I always feel good. 

Happy Mother's Day and Blessings to all:)

  3. I love that my blog is kind of like a diary too. I hope you feel better real soon. Your granite looks gorgeous. If it makes you feel any better - I am going to spend my morning picking up dog poop and cutting and weed-eating the back grass. Hubby is working. I wish you a great day tomorrow. :-)

  6. Those grandbabies are sooo stinkin' cute!! I love that picture of you with them. :)

    Wow - your granite counter looks awesome. I would love to have granite someday when we figure out what we want to do with our kitchen. Enjoy!! (and let's hope the next piece comes sooner than this one)!!!!!

    I feel the same way, my blog has been a great journal of sorts and I enjoy now looking back over older posts and re-reading them. When I was first starting to eat better, I read your entire blog from the very first post and then a few months later re-read them all again! You were, and still are, an inspiration to me. I love how you strive to find the balance while still enjoying life!! I love your honest outlook on life and your friendship! Happy Mother's Day Kay! Kim
