Happy Mother's Day
My beautiful mom... Rose.A time to remember the love kids bring you. A time to remember how a mother touches your life. A time to remember mom's that are no longer with us. While Mother's Day is sometimes a sad day for me, Frank always reminds me that I can't let it ruin my day, because I have two beautiful daughters to celebrate it with. Most of the time I feel robbed that my mom isn't here to see my girls. I know that she would be a very influential person in their life. She would have taught them all the talents she had, cooking, sewing, gardening and many more. Most of all she would make sure they new God and that even though life can be tough, we can't live like it is the end. She showed this as she was dying. She smiled every day and made sure that I new as her daughter that she loved me.
I always want my kids to know that I love them no matter what happens. I hope everyone has experienced that love of their mom that way I experienced love from mine. It is unforgettable...

Life... Part II
Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.
-- Shari R. Barr
My funky mood hasn't changed much. My back started acting up a again and I have been taking expired pain pills to ease the pain because I don't want to go to the doctor. The school year is finally winding down. Bailey is done with soccer for the time being. Bailey is also done with show choir and guitar lessons. MacKenzie is done with volleyball for the time being but still has horse back riding lessons on Saturdays. I am hoping we can get her to work for the stable in the summer. I have stopped playing soccer for a while to let my finger heal. I think I tore a tendon and/or ligament a couple of games ago. I'ts still swollen, I can't bend it or wear my wedding ring.
We booted our tenant out of the condo. We were expecting things to be bad when we went in and they were. She gave us back one key that didn't fit any doors. There was crayon all over the walls. She took the curtains from both downstair rooms. A broken window... I could go on and on. Now we get to repaint and carpet, again. We are going to try and sell it for a cheep price to just get rid of it. Anyone want a condo real cheep?
In the midst of my grand funk, there is always something to remind me that life really is good. Last night Bailey and I were finishing her science project and both of us were getting a little stressed with each other. All of a sudden, we saw a bug flying by the window. When we went to investigate, we discovered that it was a dragonfly. Was this God's way of telling me that he hears me, listens to me, takes care of me? What are the odds of a dragonfly coming into my house at 8 o'clock at night? So we got Mack and tried to catch it. We finally netted it and then Mack and I held it. The pictures are not that good, but you get the idea.
With all the negativity in world, I have to keep reminding myself that it is up to our individual selves to stay positive and live life like today may be my last.
