another mother's day come and gone. i worked like a dog last week at the florist, but it was fun. and i'd like to think all the mommies were happy with their flowers.

when i finish an arrangement i look at it and think "is this something i'd be happy to receive?" and if not, i redo it until it is. course the more money you spend the prettier they get, but ain't that just the way? even if someone can't spend a lot, we still try to make it pretty.

so a happy belated mother's day to all you muthas out there.

darling daughter is home sick today. not strep or anything serious, but she still feels poorly. the dr said it's a viral thing and she should be better tomorrow. that's usually how it runs it's course.

i was supposed to work today. we have 67 centerpieces to get ready for wednesday, but i guess her illness came at a good time. i was exhausted from working so many late nights and early mornings last week, so i got caught up on rest today as well.

sometimes i think my kids being a little sick is the universe's way of letting us snuggle and spend time together in the midst of such a hectic life. and i get to baby them a bit too. i'm just glad it's nothing serious.

i got to see my son twice this weekend. i got home from work at 8 saturday night and he came over with his girlfriend. she's the "dancer" altho he still can't tell me what the difference is between "dancer" and "stripper".

i have to admit she's a beautiful and seemingly sweet girl. she could have used a bit more material in the clothing department, aka, her jiggly parts were a bit exposed, but she seemed nice enough. and she is obviously in love (lust) with my beautiful son and he with her as well.

her hometown is a few counties away and they went there along with their respective roommates last week and spent some time with her family. they did "country" kind of things - rafted down a little river, hiked, had a cookout and painted her aunt's house or at least part of it. i'm sure there was partying going on too.

ok, so i'm a little jealous.

what fun, eh??? no responsibilites, just get away from it all for a few days.

on saturday they went to the miss bath county parade and street fair and just hung out.

ahhhhh, young love.

right now i have to go listen to a song my daughter has composed on her keyboard and make her a grilled cheese. i guess it's a good sign she's finally hungry.
