It is really weird what hormones will do to you! How everything looks so bleak for a couple days once a month. Terry said I looked worried about something last night when I got home and I got to thinking about stuff and sure enough, I was worrying about a lot of things. Things that really didn't bother me that bad at other times. Life looked so hard, mountains insurmountable, too many things left undone, too many bills to pay, house is a mess, etc. etc. It finally dawned on me what time of the month it was so at least I know this feeling is not permanent. A little cuddle with the favorite man in my life on the park bench under the tree helped. I slept good last night, at least you can't worry when you are sleeping. This morning I had the perfect prescription for lifting the spirits. An early morning walk with the dogs and while walking and enjoying the breeze and morning sun, a little communication with my Lord. Thanking him for all the blessings he has given me. Starting with my health and the ability to even take an early morning walk. There are folks out there that would love to be able to do that and cannot due to illness or other circumstances. I had my mp3 player along so I listened to a few chapters in Proverbs while enjoying the sunshine. Proverbs always seems to give me a lift. I listened to a podcast on how to improve my communication with my favorite man. It was interesting, always looking for ways to improve on a good thing. I finished up the morning with a cup of coffee on the porch swing under the hickory tree, listening to some good music. The dishes will be there when I get back. The floors will wait for me. The laundry isn't going anywhere. I have some swinging to do and nothing is going to stop me!
I feel better now. It's time to get those girls out of bed (Jessica is here for the week) and get our day started. I can tackle anything that comes my way now. I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!

Oh, and the fact that I've lost another 2 lbs. and we have 4 new puppies helps too.

Mothers Day 2007

Yep, we had fun today, I'll share some pictures later. I think the tea party was the funnest. I have to get up at 6:15 in the morning to go sit with Bea in the hospital and my computer is sooooo sloooooow tonight so I'm outta hear. Good nite.

Ahhhhhh.........My laptop died!!!!! Nooooooo....... Pleeeeeeaaaaas!!

Boy, do I miss that! It wont load Windows for some reason. I hope it is fixable. I'll have to take it to the repair shop to find out though. I have done all I can think of to do.

Well, something must be working for me, I had 4 different people tell me Sunday Morning how good that outfit looked on me. It was a simple long black flared skirt with a lacy black and pink pullover top. It is an outfit I have worn before but nobody seemed to notice. Apparently something was different this time. Oh, I know, maybe it was because I LOST 12 POUNDS!

Thanks everybody for noticing. Hey you guys, it's fun to look in the mirror now isn't it? It isnt so scary when we accidently see our selves in the plate glass window, and now when sombody tells me to "haul butt" I don't have to make 2 trips!
