Mother's Day 2012

A mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
- Emily Dickinson

I have tried to write on here for a few days and every time I write, something happens with my computer and it wipes out what I have written, even when it's been saved. IT's so frustrating so that is partly why I have not written on here much.

Today has been an absolutely amazing day! I got a text message at the crack of dawn wishing me a Happy Mother's Day, and there is nothing sweeter than someone you love, thinks of you and sends wishes your way. I was up early and saw the message, then I turned over and went right back to sleep after conversing for a little bit. Then Lexi came in at 10:15 to say Happy Mother's Day. Then I went back to sleep until 12. IT WAS AWESOME!  I have not slept that late in such a long time. It was great to sleep 10 hours, and even though it wasn't completely straight through, it was still great!! I felt so rested when I woke up. I even got right up, and finished the laundry, and then came downstairs, had brunch with Lexi, coldcuts & cheese on a plate, and my coffee. I know, an odd mixture of food, but it was better than nothing, or just coffee. Lexi was ready for lunch anyway, since she had been up since 10:15. And by this time I had already cleaned the kitchen and it was 1pm. I then vac'd the entire downstairs and and mopped all the floors. Felt like I accomplished enough for today until I realized I needed to spot clean my carpet in the living room and hall. so I did that too! And then my best guy friend Joe came over with 4 gluten free hummingbird cupcakes and stayed for an hour. I love when he visits. He is so easy to talk to & he so gets me & my thinking. It's nice that I can talk with him about guys in my life and all that stuff. He is great with advice too and I ALWAYS take it because even though he is younger than me, he so gets me! He is so funny, he still can['t believe I am going to be 44 on June 23rd. I can't either to be honest. I can't believe that much of my life has passed by. So it got me thinking about all that I have accomplished in my life. I really have accomplished alot and my greatest accomplishment of course is Lexi, She is absolutely amazing. She has been cleaning and making dinner all day. Homemade sauce, chicken cutlets and gluten free pasta for me. We were going to have chicken parm, but decided to just have cutlets. Which works for me.

I lost another lb this week which puts me just at 45 lbs. I am quite proud to say the least. Considering I have been struggling the past 2 weeks. I always jump right back on board, but here & there I have been experimenting to see what I am allergic too and not allergic too, turns out, everything I have cut out of my diet I AM ALLERGIC TOO! GREAT RIGHT? I think it's time I stop experimenting!

Well I want to Thank all of you who have wished me a Happy Mother's day, and thank you for stopping by to read my blog.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
Godspeed!
