Before I get back to my griping, fussing and being "sick and tired" of feeling "sick and tired" I thought I would stop and take "inventory" of Mother's Day, coming up on Sunday. It used to be a "tradition" of ours, to take my Mom, and the three of us go to one of the casino's. The last several years, we usually go to Oklahoma, to Winstar, because it all has you could ever want or need, plus it is quite a bit closer than going to Louisiana. :)
After my husbands accident last year in March, that kind of put a damper on things. In fact he was still in the hospital at Mother's Day last year, and Mom and I went together, just the two of us, and had a wonderful time. We usually have a blast together, whether it be at a Casino, or just a day away for a "window shopping trip".... so not being able for the 3 of us to go right now, kind of changes the scheme of things. Yet, life is like that. We never know when within a breath's space our entire lives can be changed forevermore.
This year is going to be a real challenge for me. Now I face yet another round of tests on my lumbar/sacral spine. They just called to sit up a "discography" to be done in Dallas at Medical City. I chose to wait until the last part of the month, on the 27th, which now I am wondering why I decided to wait that long. Today, I feel like I've been ran over by a train, and then backed over and ran over once more. My back had been feeling "somewhat" better. And of course between our freaky weather, and all I've been doing, my back hurts like hell right now. But, so does the rest of me. So, I figure I've either came down with a slight "bug", or it is a "flare" trying to come on... fatigue, pain, lethargic, nauseated, my head feels like it could explode and our humidity has to be at 100%!!!!
Anyway, I said no "griping" on this post :) So, again below is what I posted to all of the Mom's on Facebook. Thus, here it is for all of you also.
Enjoy your kids!!! They grow up much to quickly. Just turn around once, blink your eyes, and within a breaths space, they are grown, often married, with family's of their own, jobs, and all that life entails for them. So, everyone with little tot's please enjoy every moment of the funny, silly, and sometimes messy things they do... for it won't be long, they will be out of high school, out of college and out into the world all their own....
And you shall be wondering where the time went....
With Love, Honor and Wishing All Mom's out there a very Happy Mother's Day!
I
wanted to post a "shout out" there to ALL MOMS! Mothers Day is here on
Sunday, and before I get too wrapped up in things I want to make sure to
let every Mom, Step-Mom, and so on know just how incredible you are.
The many nights we've stayed up with them when they were little, or ill,
to the days of school, lunches and parties. From the PTA meetings,
cupcakes for the class, all of the special birthday parties, holidays
and decorations we put out for our kids to enjoy. From
the
days of worry over them as they grow a bit older, and pray "we've
raised them right... those times we think "they didn't come with an
instruction manual, and that pain we endured when they were born, and
how quickly it melted away as soon as we heard that first cry. They
always remain "Our kids" no matter if they are 3 yrs old or 35 years
old... kids still are kids to parents... I am so proud of my two
"kids"... although both grown, my son 35 soon to be 36 (I think) and my daughter 31soon to be 32 (I think);) and her awesome husband
and my 3 great and wonderful grand kids. I so wished we lived closer, we
just don't get to see one another as we would like. Yet, life is life,
and sometimes things are not exactly as we would like them to be. So,
thank goodness for FB, so she can keep me up to date, with pictures of
all of their events, and I have got to watch them "grow up" via
Facebook! :):) For that I am elated. I wish each and every Mom out
there an incredible Mother's Day! Whatever and wherever you get to go,
or stay home, visit, rest, and however you celebrate, may you be well,
free from pain, if only for that day, and know in your heart, you are a
fantastic Mom!!!!
