Happy Mother's Day to the Sisters......

Hello Sisters!
First of all - I hope you all have a very wonderful Mother's Day. You are all great mothers - all different but all great examples of motherhood - I've learned many things on that subject from each of you. Thank you!

Diane, your chemo stories crack me up! I am so amazed that you can take such a dreadful necessity and turn it into a day at the spa! "Me time" with a twist.

Lori, you would look much better as a kitchen servant with a bun. You may need to let your hair grow. The story of falling down cracked me up. I really have a guilt trip when I laugh at one of us (me included) falling down - why do we get such enjoyment out of knowing Lori fell down? It is funny - probably because I've done it more times than can be counted.

I keep looking at that Claiming Your Place at the Fire book laying on the table there and keep thinking I'll get back to it. I certainly could use some prodding to straighten up and be a good example! I just finished a way too long novel by Tami Hoag - Guilty as Sin - had an interesting twist at the end but by next week it will have all oosed out of my brain - just fluff reading.

Sarah and Aiden will be over today to celebrate Mother's Day and we will have a great time, I'm sure. Just think of all the years (15 to be exact) that I thought I would not be a mother. There have been trials but there have been wonderful times too. I know in my heart of hearts that things will click for Sarah some day. I hope that is soon - for her, for Aiden and for Paul, who really seems to love and cherish her. She has (as do I) a lot of sadness and shame about the fact that she does not have primary custody. Not sure how to deal with that one.

Dan is still not working at a real job, which he enjoys hugely. He's been doing very well with the stock market and hopes he can continue to be successful until retirement. He considers that his job and he works hard at it all day. In addition, he's getting stuff done around here - repairs, laundry, cleaning, cooking. Win win for me!

The back problem is a bit better - although I thought I would lose my mind on the trip to Colorado. Once we got there we had a great time though. Never again will I drive that - NEVER. I was sad that we didn't get to see Troy. Next time we'll fly into Denver and hopefully he'll still be living there!

I'm so happy you revived this blog.

I wonder where Susan is? I'll have to call her today and remind her that we are out here.

I love you Sisters.
