We do have a brilliant bunch o kids on us, don't we?

I'm posting on a saturday just so I can wish you all a Happy Mothers Day tomorrow!!!! Put your feet up and enjoy it!

p.s. I hurt so bad I can hardly type - I've been working in the yard all day. I won't fall asleep with the heating pad on my back like the dh, though. He has a nasty blister from that. I told him to shut it off, but did he follow my instructions?

happy mammaries day to you to Wabby---or reduced mammaries anyway-------------sometimes i have another name for mother's day that is NOT very nice----------but you people are too pure to hear it-----usually everyone does an obligatory obliging and then are off to their paths of self-ness------what else would you do anyway??????only born again christians treat their mothers like gold---------lapsed catholics deserve no food at their banquets---------okay,i am not drunk,but i obviously need sleep-----been two days at "Dramafest" and am zonked-------------i would LOVE to hear what kiwi-etta played at the coffeehouse------------please elaborate and can that redneck blabberfest and tell ME what really happened!!!how old were the younguns that were left unattended?:?

Peachie-dear: itchy flesh colored thing = bug bite. Glad I could help.

Yes, we do have some talented offspring -- aren't we lucky? DD played (and sang) several songs by herself, most of which I had never heard of before she learned them -- from groups like Incubus, Perfect Circle, Killing Heidi, Nirvana (I guess that one would be an "oldie"). She also played one that she wrote herself called "Unravelled". Of course she didn't announce what it was; I had to ask her who it was by and she admitted that it was hers. She also played several classical guitar duets with her guitar teacher -- Ave Maria, Bach's Bourree, Pachelbel Canon in D, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Those pieces are amazing on the guitar, very intricate, lovely passages that mesh beautifully with the chord fingerings that her teacher was playing. Great stuff. Her teacher played a few songs like "Blackbird", and some Dylan and made us sing along, and she taught DD some blues chords so she could play along with her on a song called "Fishin'". It was great. DD played off and on for about 2-1/2 hours.

I have updated my diaryland diary with a lovely letter to the editor that I wrote 5 years ago, and think of every spring.

Ah, the unattended young-uns were about 9 and 12 years old, but the older one was picked up by his coach before the mom got home. Boy, was she p****d. Hey, I didn't even know the girl was in charge of her brothers. I did claim all responsibility for this, though, since if I hadn't gone and picked her up, it never would have happened, but no go. Oh well. Girls and their moms. Not always a smooth path.

Kiwi, that concert sounds great! You must be so proud!

Happy Mother's Day!
 

But we're not too pure to think it, Bagzie! LOL! So far I've received some batiked tissue paper done in 4th grade art class and a big paper heart with "I Love You" on it. Who could ask for more?

Wow, very talented children. But what else could you expect from a group like us?

Peachy - itchy flesh coloured growth = psoriasis. Got to doctor and get expensive ointment. Actually, I think skin cancer *can* itch. Would be worth it to have it looked at. We want you around for the next 30 years!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! The menfolk put my presents on the table and then went hunting, so I'm waiting for them to come back so I can open them. Such teases.

I have issues with mother's day, but it's much nicer now that I am a mom.

Hope everyone has a pleasant day. I started mine with a cappuccino and some mint cookies. Mmmm.
