We must love you...

You know that you must be loved when we drag our little family out of bed at 6 am to go to breakfast for your birthday...
Happy 50th Birthday Darlene!!! (And Doreen too...)
Really, the girls were quite comedic with their emotionality. Normal daily emotion + getting up earlier than usual = a lot of crying over stupid stuff...
I did finish the poster this morning around 2:30 am. Oh, how a bad day can throw me off course so horribly! I ate one whole layer of the chocolates. They tasted awful after the first 5 or so... I forced myself to eat more, I was so mad, I just wanted something to occupy me, well, more than the poster was, anyway.
So "the follow-up" phone call never came, big surprise. Even with me leaving a message to remind the dude of "the follow-up" phone call. I decided, after dwelling on it all day, that I am done with being prim and polite, that I need to stand up for myself and make sure that people understand what it is that I am saying, not turning things around into what is easier for them to hear or understand. So my message was kind of curt and to the point... maybe that's why I didn't get a call back... I grew some balls.
Intimidating...
I got my house all cleaned today!!! All I have left is the floors that need to be Swiffered... not too shabby.
This was what I really wanted to do today:
My Mother's day gift, that I have been nagging Mer about it for a year or two. It's a piece of sheet metal, 16 inches by 8 feet long. I attached it to the wall (all by myself, I really should have waited for help...) and now I have a place to put all of those cute embellishments that I buy where I can see them, and remember to use them!
Thanks Jen for the cookies! One of those little things that helped to make this day better than yesterday....
