Mom had to go down to Florida for a family emergency and met up with M and HD when they came up from Tampa for the same thing. The kids couldn't get enough of her and didn't want to let her go when it came time to leave since it's been 4 yrs since they'd seen her. She talked about how proud she is of them and then she dropped a bombshell on me. HD ( Read more... )

I had a conversation with both my girls last night and this morning. V just wanted to chat because she missed me. I asked her at one point if she had a boyfriend (I think this was after discussing the fact that my babygirl is going to be 15 this fall) and the following bit of convo happened ( Read more... )

Mom just informed me that M is going to have another surgery after her doctor found another cyst on her ovaries. I'm hoping this one is also benign.

I still remember on her 5th birthday her asking not for dolls or a toy but for a broom and a dustpan ( Read more... )

I just saw that it's supposed to be 103 degrees here tomorrow and Wednesday. Jiminy freakin' Christmas! There is no way in hell I'm going outside for the next two days. As it was I couldn't breathe when I took the dogs outside for them to do their business and it was dark at that point ( Read more... )

M and HD both called me today to wish me a happy mother's day.

I was just looking at a picture of M that she posted on her myspace page and I instantly teared up. She looks like a combination of me and my sister.

Life is too complicated sometimes to measure. We all know that. And most of us accept it; hopefully with a modicum of grace because we understand that complications arise at any given time ( Read more... )
