Hello Sunday!
Today is Mother’s Day. I won’t get to see my mother today, but still I am thinking much of her. I think about the life she has given, through hers and of hers, and about us five kiddos….and I squeal inside. Such sacrifices, such selflessness I can hardly imagine. She lived her life around ours for 30 years or so, and now she has to pick up those pieces and move on….crazyness. But she’s doing pretty darn good at moving on, especially as of late! But it blows my mind, the thought of her days filled with so much giving for so long. I cannot imagine such little time to oneself. Especially after my being a grand ol’ 33 years old myself with no such plans for kids in my own future yet. I am pretty sure I am going to have a couple…or adopt a couple…but I think my brain is wired more like a guy’s than a girl’s in the fact that I just can’t stop all this ramblin’ and gamblin’ and singing and dreaming. I have been that way since I was small, I never really even liked dolls, I even put stuck one of mine in the oven when it was turned on! A bit of a morose child? I be just a late bloomer I spose. But, tis no trouble to I since all my greatest and true-est girlfriends (except a sparkling two or three! and four possibly as we speak!) are still without childs. When they start telling me the news, then I will probably get on with it myself, but for now we still are all a’ rambling.
(Heather, Ruebi, Mandy, Doniella, Carol Ann, Suze, Em, countless others….) for now I thank my starry stars for the fact that we are all having this much fun!
Mom with her five kiddos plus their significant others and the 3 famous grandchilds.
Mom reading to us five back in the early 90’s….so nerdy I love it!
Oh I almost forgot!
Today’s Cup.….Yikes, the uszhe. You know, our giant bag of Costco-bought San Fran Bay Organic…..with hints of Community Coffee leftover in the grinder! It’s really tasty even though Art left the coffee pot on all morning and I got to it hours late….hmmm, perhaps I like that smoky burn flavor? (I need to get some new kinds of coffee in my life! I sent away for Community Coffee Dark Roast…but I need some other specialties to try!)
Today’s LP: Joni Mitchell – Court and Spark fabulous!
