good morning gang!

I have had my 2 cups of coffee and dh made me a pancake that was yummy good. He and youngest ds are gone to do a few yards, and oldest ds is sleeping. He worked til midnight last night and works from 5 to midnight again today. He really likes his job at the video store.

I have got a zillion things to do around here today. Laundry, picking up, coloring my hair, and gotta get everything together for a memory booth that we do at church next week for the the graduating seniors. Gotta get all my youngest sons pictures framed and put on boards, etc.

Was gonna try to get a walk in this morning, but of course, I cannot find the time. Maybe I just ought to go ahead and take off the month of May and cut myself some slack. I think I'm afraid something might explode if I do.

Leenie - you will have to tell me about sweet potato burritos ? ? ?

hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
cathy

Happy Mothers Day

Thank you Leenie!

How was your "Sweet Potato Burrito"? Sounds intriguing!

Cathy: Boy, you've got a busy month! Maybe you should take some time off. Hope you had a nice QUIET Mother's Day!

Yesterday I was able to visit my son at the jail. He's doing well, considering. He should be transferred to a drug rehab facility within the next few months. It will be good for him, but it's on the other side of the state. I'm glad he's still around here for now, so we can visit him. .

Friday we went to our county's "Relay for Life"; a benefit for the American Cancer Society. A friend of mine was there. She's been battling a rare and deadly form of cancer. The doctors gave her 3 months to live-that was FOUR YEARS AGO! She is doing well and beating the odds by the grace of God.
God IS Good-ALL the time!

My DH took me out for dinner after church. No comment on the meal

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day!

Hi Joanne, good to see you as always. I haven't tried the sweet tater mixture yet, I will tomorrow. I made it and I'm leting it set in the frig so the flavors mingle. I'll let you know.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but I' really glad she is beating the odds. Its such a scary thing. To scary to even think about. I will also be praying for your son.

This morning we went out to breakfast. I had an omlet, hashbrowns and toast. Then we visited my MIL and then my Mom. Came home, cooked a little for the week, and then sat outside on the swing snuggled with my little girl. That what its all about

I gotta go jump in the shower and paint my nails. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Happy Mother's Day are my dear buddies!

hope everyone had a great day! mine was nice. both my boys remembered me and were sweet and thoughtful. went to dh's moms after church and ate lunch.

I just watched "Super Size Me" - anybody else seen it? wow is all I can say! well worth watching.

Joanne - I am soooooooooooo glad that you got to see your son yesterday! and glad to hear that your dear friend is beating the odds! yes God is Good!

I would guess that the restaurants were packed today with so many taking their moms and wives out to eat. we have only tried to do that once on Mother's Day and I will never make that mistake again.

everybody must be really busy this weekend - not much chatter.

Leenie - what color did you paint your nails? I painted my toe nails a kind of sparkly bright coral yesterday to go with my shirt & camisole for graduation night. wanted to be sure I liked the color as I am use to red and wine colors, but I think I like it. Just a different color for me. Swinging with your daughter sounds wonderful and sweet. Enjoy those days - believe me they go by too quickly.

hope everyone is doing well

hugs,
cathy

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!

Man… I’ve been gone a while. After we got back from Vegas, I sorta fell into hiding. I had midterms, and then stress, and then I sorta fell into a funk, I dunno if was really depression, because it didn’t feel like it. I dunno… so much going on this month. I think it was anxiety. I had three midterms, and I havea major state exam that I have to take (1 of 3) I have to pass these all before I can apply for my credential program, and I have to pass then in order to get accepted into the program… ugg… it’s been kinda stressful so I guess I slightly had a freak out hehehe… I’m doing better tho. Like I said, it didn’t feel like depression, just a funk, a sort of “I don’t feel like doing anything” and a “leave me alone or I’m gonna hand you your head on a platter” kind of feeling… no motivation, no drive…. Just blah.

I have some good news tho… to those who remember, I was debating on signing up for the gym before I left for Vegas. Well… I signed up for 24 hour fitness, and because I work for a school district, actually for the county… I got a nice discount. Normally 22-41 bucks depending on what ya want, but I got mine and my sister signed up for 23 total for both of us.

OOOH also… I did very good on my eating… I’m back done to 350lbs… still waiting to break into virgin fat… we’ll see if that gym membership will help. Also… I’m WEARING JEANS AGAIN!!!! I haven’t worn jeans in like 5 or more years…. And I bought some, and on top of that, I went down a size, from 30 to 28…. I’m jazzed heheh… I also have 5 miles racked up for this month so far…. All walking. No dancing on the DDR game heheheh…

Yes Cathy - I'm in it for the long haul this month! 5 miles and counting!!

Sorry to being gone so long…. It’s been hectic... and may get more hectic yet.

Take care everyone!
Sue…
