Random

So, here are some random thoughts and observations from my little corner of heaven.......

You need a vacation from planning a vacation to Disney World!!!! Leave for the happiest place on earth March 6 - am meeting up with Tabitha and Will and the three granddaughters....the girls have no clue about Disney, or that Grandma will be there!!!! BUT....yipes - I'm now convinced you could spend a month there and still not see it all!!! :) Think after several hours of reading and coordinating yesterday I finally have a handle on this - now need to talk to Tabitha just to make sure everything is 'covered' and coordinated in a way that everyone will do OK with - when you throw a 8, 4, and 2 year old into the mix planning ahead really is your friend!!!

Today is a red letter day around here!!! Sara is going to get her first hair cut!!!! Amy is going to get her hair done to, so Aunt Nanci gets to tag along, so there is supervision for Sara, so Amy can maybe enjoy her hair cut!!! Rest assured, I will be taking a camera to capture this big moment!!!!

On the news last night there was a story about 3 guys who were canoing on White River in the Carmel area - are you kidding me. White River and several other rivers are flooding right now, so these three jokers think yesterday was a pick day to canoe. Now, stupidity isn't a crime - BUT, when you put others in danger (the fireman guys who were the rescuers) because you are an idiot - well, that's a different story.

Well....all my light fixtures have been delivered and installed - and look fabulous, just ask me! All that remains to be done is to take delivery of a chair for my desk, and a new painting for over the fireplace....and framing and matting of some black and white photos of family, I still need to find and select!!!

I've really found myself missing Mom more. Maybe because the dust is settling for the first time since she died and I (well, really, none of us) had a chance to grieve her death after she died - taking on Dad and caring for him became the next full time endeavor - Mom was the only one who really knew how to wrangle him....anyway, here I am a 50 year old woman really missing her Mom. Somehow, I think there is a part of me that will always miss Mom....and Dad too, for that matter.

Life is way too short to sit around feeling sorry for myself - I have an amazing family (if not a little quirky sometimes!) and THE best friends ever....a roof over my head....food in my fridge and pantry....comfy new furniture.....some money in the bank...and a God that never fails me - so really, I am blessed beyond words.
