She gives warm hugs that you don’t want to end.
She is tender-hearted and compassionate.
She is funnier than she thinks, but not as funny as me.
She worries a lot about hurting others, so she is careful with her words and actions.
She raised me to be the same way by her example.
She is the woman who I see in my own reflection and feel proud to be like.
She is a peace maker and negotiator.
She is generous to a fault and would give you the shirt off her back if you asked for it.
She listens with out judging and thoughtfully gives you her opinion.
She is the Mother who I see myself becoming when I am with my children.
She created two women who are independent, spirited, loving, and gorgeous!
She is all these things and more.

She is my Mom.
Happy Mother’s Day Mom, you make me feel like the most special daughter in the world. You celebrate with me and cry with me. I know I can count on you to be there for me in all ways. I don’t know many people like that. You are one in a million and I am so happy you are mine. I love you!

I have bronchitis. Again.

Seriously? Wham-o, it came on suddenly since Friday. Must be why I wasn’t feeling stellar. I didn’t stay for Scrapbook night, instead I left a box of cream puffs and my eternal gratitude to my friends for holding the craft fort down while I went home and went to bed. Today I woke up with lots of chest pain and wheezing, so I went to see the doctor. I should just be able to write myself a prescription and save myself the 15 dollar co-pay. I was right. This is what happens when you mix webmd and experience with bronchitis at least 20 times in my lifetime. Oy.

On a random note, I can type 65 words a minute with less than 8 mistakes (the test said 1 mistake a min. is the gold standard, I say, “whatever”) and I can 10 key 6500 ksph. So what does that really mean and why should you care? Well that just means I can’t get a job unless I can type 65 wpm with no mistakes and have 10,000 ksph in 10-key. I mean I could get a job with my current skills, it just wouldn’t be a good one. LOL No really…I don’t think that is half bad and I think I would do just as well at another job. Reading all those job descriptions is a little daunting, but if I am going to look for another job someday, at least I have a goal in mind: become a robot.

I think I’ll go have an anti-biotic cocktail with an ice cream chaser….

We went to Sam’s Club again. I question my sanity when I have to put all the groceries away. Will we really eat all those bagels? Will we go through 5 gallons of mayonnaise? No, I really didn’t buy the 5 gallons of mayonnaise, but I thought about it. So, far we have used everything we bought last month, so we needed to replenish, but we are running out of places to hide our goods. It seems like a lot of money to spend at first, but it has worked out to be more cost efficient then us going to Wal-Mart every week and spending 100 bucks or more and the snacks disappear at the end of the week.

So? How’s it going? Pretty good? Awesome.

Well…I better get going. I have 4 tons of laundry to do, vacuuming, and putting away all the food we are going to eat. Then I have to figure out something for dinner and how come it always feels like you are supposed to be going someplace when you don’t have anything planned?
Somewhere amongst the business that is my life, my Dad is having surgery and I am distracted with thoughts of anticipation, hoping it goes well and they don’t find anything unusual. I am being a good girl and not calling my Sister 5 times and asking for an update. I will let her call me. It’s so hard to do that, but I am trying.  Love you Daddy! It will be ok. I just know it.
