hot hOT HOT
Otay, I'm posting! And, sweating my arse off as well. Every first 90 degree day I curse myself for not trying harder to get the new furnace WITH central air!!! UGH! I love summer and sunshine so I will NOT complain it's just that we had no in between time. No time to gradually adapt to this weather. It was chilly and practically snowing at my son's game last Tuesday (ok I'm exaggerating but I COULD see my breath!) and now it's hot and humid and over 90. I know, bitch bitch bitch. I'm so good at it I'm told. Anyhow, the new Chicks CD is grand! Little more mellow and serious but still great. Gotta love 'em. Happy Birthday to my first born today ... He is 12! And I feel old! Crabby and old! Somewhere in the past few months I lost all that great self-esteem I gained. Hmmmm... hows does that happen and how do I get it back?

Just a quick Mother's Day post. Walking through Wal-ly-world today watching all the last minute shoppers hunting for cards and gifts, I felt numb. This being the 3rd mother's day without my mom, I still feel cheated. Cheated that I didn't have more time with her and angry that she didnt try harder to stick around. I don't blame her. I just wish that she wouldn't have felt so defeated by her life. I know she didn't feel that she had much of a life to speak of and I couldn't disagree more. As much as my sister and I tried to tell her so desperately in the months and days before she died, I can only hope she listened and realized what a truly wonderful, beautiful woman, mother, teacher, friend that she was to us. We didn't do the typical bubbly mother daughter stuff like shopping and doing nails together much but she instilled so much good in us and taught us love, honesty, trust, and how to care. She also taught us about family and tradition. Mommy was the best at making things like holidays and birthdays special. For as much or as little she had at times, she always found a way. I have carried that on with my children. She was a terrific grammy to them when she was here and her wisdom and love is still in their hearts. I will always have the most beautiful memories of my mom in my mind and heart and her love is truly always with me.
HAVE got to thank my cousin Andy for sharing her find from youtube, Evolution of Dance! This is too funny and the guy is good! For as much as I love to dance, this was sweet. Although, he omitted the ELECTRIC SLIDE, the one and only line dance I know thanks to Andy! Ah, those hard working days at Dorvison with my mom, learning how to line dance in the office! Anyway, take a look. It's a long video stream but worth it. Besides, You will probably know all the songs like I did. Memories, some good some not! Bye, Bye baby, bye bye.
