3 THINGS FOR MONDAY!

How many Mondays has it rained now?  40, at least!!!  Geez!!  And it smelled like wet dog poop out there today, too!!  ICK!!!  LOL!!!

Hope everyone is dry and safe!  I'm not as exhausted as normal for a Monday - don't know if that bodes well for the rest of the week or not!  I had a good weekend, and it looks like those who went to Hershey did, too!  Sorry I missed it!

Today, I'm grateful for:

1.  I had a wonderful day with B on Saturday!  K was at a bday party/sleepover, so it was just B and me from noon on.  I told him we could do anything he wanted, go anywhere for lunch, etc.  He picked Burger King (ICK!) and then we went to the park, which lasted all of about 30 minutes until he spotted a bee!  Then we went to 5 Below, where he bought a chess/checkers set and promptly proceeded to kick my butt in every game of checkers we played!!  LOL!!!  But we had a great day - I love spending time with them together, but alone time with them is especially fun!

2.  TVP - Adds a nice, nutty crunch to my yogurt!!

3.  Clean puppies - Happy got a bath yesterday and was post-bath frisky (not that it's any different from any other day)!  She came flying out of the bathroom after Mom had dried her, and wormed herself all over me!!!  She just cracks me up and always puts a smile on my face!

Have a great day!

Good morning sweetie!   Thank you for the wakeup call on Friday a.m.   It WAS time for us to get moving !!!   After your call it was into the shower, out to breakfast then we met up with the WHOLE clan for a day at the Maritime Aquarium.   Not as big a deal as the Baltimore Aquarium, but still fun.   The 6 kids ranged in age from 10 months to almost 13.   The 3 older girls had fun entertaining the little ones.   There's even a picture of me with Jake!   He's a cutie pie for sure.

Let's see ..

1) a good weekend with family (and a few friends) .. 5 of the 7 siblings were together and we had lots of family time.   I spent a couple of hours with my mom.  Healthwise she is doing well for her age, but she's so depressed about her memory loss it is sad.   We snuck away for a while on Saturday night and met friends for a drink.   We were making an early getaway yesterday and stopped at the diner for breakfast and ran into another friend and his brother and caught up there too.

2) one day closer to vacation!    I think it starts 3 weeks from Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. :)

3) That I am here to be able to enjoy the life I have .. sounds sappy, but I am always grateful to be able to the things I am able to do ... very different than the person I was 5 years ago.

Gotta get busy here ..

Hugs & smoochies!!!!

No problem!!  Just another service I offer!!!    But YIKES, I know how much I hate being snapped to reality by a ringing phone!!!

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend with your family.  Is your Mom on any anti-depressants that would help?  Not with the memory loss, of course, but maybe to help her "deal" with it?  I know that whole situation is hard on you, and it must be SO frustrating for her.

Not counting down to your vacay, are you?  LOL!!

Have a wonderful week!

I had much less difficulty with the ringing phone than Mr Mo did !!!   But it did snap him to reality and got him moving for sure!!!   I had already been awake and up at one point and gone back to bed.

Mom takes lots of meds, not sure exactly what they are all for.   I told her tho that I am always happy to see her and she doesn't have to make excuses to me for her memory.   I just live in fear of the day that she doesn't 'know' who I am!

Hugs, Mo

Good Morning Mo, Hope you and hubby are well. Sounds like you had a fun weekend.. Went to DB and had a great weekend... Sorry you were not there it was such nice weather...Take care and stay safe in your travels..

I bet it was a gorgeous weekend at DB.   Have to find another weekend that we can get up there before the planned trip in September.   Of course, if we make it another weekend, guaranteed it will not be a 'nice' one . .. there's a cloud that follows me around!

I was greatful to have such good weather while we were away this weekend.   Friday was gorgeous in CT and Saturday not far behind it.   Yesterday flipped between sun and overcast but it didn't get as cool as we expected, so it was still pleasant.

Talk to you soon!

Hugs, Mo

Morning Julie!!!

Awww, baby ducks!!!  How sweet!!!  Yet another reason to be thankful for spring!

Glad you had a good camping weekend!!!

As far as surgeons - I needed to go onto DVR's website the other day for something, and noticed that there are links to getting info on info sessions, support groups, etc.  Just Google his name and you should be able to find it.  It can be overwhelming, so I think starting with just two is the way to go.

Have a great day!

Tia

Thank you sweetie I will look after while I am taking my friend to the dentist as she is having knee replacement and her doc is making her have her teeth cleaned before surgery. He is worried about infection... If I am able I will try to make dinner tommorrow night at White Marsh.... If not I will make one of your events one day... Take care and dont work to hard....
