guess i need to develope a new habit...

cause i forgot to post again... lol
so it's just after midnight and yesterday was mother's day... first... my daughter sandra called and wished me a happy mother's day and then told me that she was at the hospital with her best friend since 2 am... her friend brandy and husband craig just brought their second little girl into the world... what a great mother's day gift...
the next child to call me was my step (i hate that word) daughter jessica... she wanted to know how high a fever a child can have before it's time to worry... ummmm okay so now i'm worried and don't even know how high a temp we are talking about... it was 102 under the arm pit and when he tries to sleep he makes these wimpery noises and twitched... ray says now is the time to worry and to take him to the er... it's gabriel we are talking about and he's just a little older than 2... and oh btw... happy mother's day... lol she called later to let us know he's fine... i can stop worrying for now...
later tonight i got a call from marc... first thing he says when i say hello is... "oh good you got home safely..." lol i guess i forgot to call when i got home to say i was okay and the flight was okay... much better than the one to get up there... but then again it wouldn't have been hard to be better than that one right??? lol then i get my happy mother's day from him...
only one left would be my step (again with that word) son michael... nope... not this year again... oh well, he's busy i guess... at least that's what i tell myself... that way it hurts less...
so my mother's day consisted of me making yummy special scrambled eggs and toast for myself and hubby... then watching a bunch of tevoed shows that he saved from when i was up in mass taking care of marc... wow i had a lot to catch up on... so basically the afternoon was spent vegging in front to the tube with my honey...
made my american goulash for dinner... another yummo... and off to work he went... then it was out in the yard to water my dried up dying plants in my newly weeded garden that doesn't look newly weeded cause it got messy while i was up in mass taking care of marc... lol
i potted a few plants i stole from marc and lucia's yard and now it's hoping they make the transition cause though i have a few bleeding heart plants down here already they are the white ones and well i just love the red ones and that's what they had... so i stole some...
i also stole some hosta... i just recently found out you can grow that down here as long as it doesn't get full sun all day long... i'll keep that in mind when they got into the ground but for now they are in pots to get used to the heat down here...
then there were these other plants... kind of like a johnny jump up, viola, mini pansy type plants... white flowers with purple lines in them and really beautiful green foliage... they spread sort of like strawberry plants and grow in neat circular bunches... i like that... neat plants... so now we shall see if they make it too since their leaves all fell off during their trip down here... guess they didn't like the damp paper towel in the ziploc bag stuffed into the suitcase thing... lol
i even took the time to "weed" the few pots in the front... maybe i'll get to some more weeding tomorrow but then again maybe not...
i'm supposed to go to the last "ladies club" meeting of the year... this is the one we give away the two college scholarships... i suppose i should go but we shall see... lots of the ladies have been wondering why i haven't gone in a while and i don't think i can handle all the questions... it's been an emotional year this year and well i'm just now getting back to feeling like me again... so maybe i will skip this one too... though i do have a few lady friends that i miss and would love to see... hmmm maybe i can plan a little brunch some saturday and have them over... that would be nice...
so other than that i'm all settled back in at home and loving being here even if it's only for a few weeks... then it's on the road for at least a month on my annual trek up north to see my kids and grandboys... again i will miss home but when it comes to seeing my kids and grandboys it's all worth while... besides then it will be another long wait to see them again...
so to all of you ladies that are mommies... Happy Mother's Day 30ish minutes late...
love,
donna
