Hangin' Out - with ghosts

Check out the blob in the upper right corner of this pic....Could it be a spirit? I've always heard that spirits can be caught with a camera.
EEEEEEK, MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTE: to self

Please remember to invite BMO and kids to swim, this season preferably.

MY STRATEGY:

[you need to bring Asa and Carlee, and Gran, of course up here to enjoy my company, for a change!!!!!!! It's the same distance from here to there, no matter which direction you are traveling and it's downhill from here back home - so maybe you can coast all the way back :-)]

Yard Sale FANATIC!!

Anyone who knows the "real" me, knows that I LOVE YARD SALES!!! So imagine my surprise when I woke this a.m. to find just 30 feet from my front door, Heaven!! The worst thing was there was NOT one thing that I wanted!!!! But for the computer geeks, the place was packed with anything from wireless routers, keyboards, monitors, laptops - I'm guessing just about anything you could imagine!!! Anyway, this mans' trash was NOT this womans' treasure.....better luck tomorrow!!!!!!

VACATION

What do you mean, my vacations over already? Why does a week absolutely FLY by when you are on vacation, and when you're at work, a week seems like an eternity? Oh, well, we've made the best of it!!!

We've definately had to endure the HEAT of the summer this week!!!!!
THANK GOODNESS for the pool!!

Vacation

Danielle just arrived in Panama City, Fla today. What a trip!!
They spent the night last night in Alabama, she tells me the motel
had the BEST continental breakfast ever!! Hopefully I will get a pic
to post soon.

The BEST Mothers' Day

Today was MY day, the one day set aside for Moms and their children to spend together, relax and enjoy each other. Danielle & I did just that with a rather quick trip to Kings Island, lunch @ O'Charlie's and a couple chic flicks. She remembered the one thing that I had mentioned months ago that I wanted, wind chimes. I was so touched to realize that she actually listens to me (sometimes)!!! We talked about stuff that has been going on at school and her friends, she really opened up to me today.

I am very proud to be her MOM. She undoubtedly will grow up to be a wonderful adult and mother someday.

Thanks, Danielle and I love you very much.

Mothers Day

I went to Eastern KY last weekend with huge intentions of visiting my moms gravesite for 3 reasons:

1. Saturday, May 3 would have been her 63rd birthday
2. The following Sunday would be Mothers' Day and
3. I JUST PLAIN MISS HER!!


Those intentions were demolished with fear, anxiety, and frustration because I can't seem to make myself deal with the fact of never being able to ask the advice of my mom, or tell her about the latest and greatest love that's gone wrong (and hear that he wasn't worthy anyway), or about the bad day at work or the wonderful day that I had with her granddaughter. I would never wish upon anyone that they loose their mom. I get so angry when I hear others disrespecting their mom - sometimes I speak my mind and remind them that someday their "Best Friend" will not be with them any longer and to cherish the time that they have with their mother.

I guess I had the same BAD attitude when Mom made me mad or wouldn't let me do what I wanted to do, but now I long to have just one more day or hour or minute with my mom.

It's now been 6 years, and it just hasn't gotten any easier...I don't imagine it ever will..

The reason for this post is to remind you all to love your mom while you can, because you never know when the last time you gave her a hug or a kiss or told her you loved her will be the last time...
