A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

He makes me smile
The past 2 days have been tough. I don't know why -- they just have. The cloud just settles in and around and there I am. Wherever I go, whatever I do. I feel like Pigpen from "Peanuts".
Son #2 said that I should "get over it and get on with my life. Death happens and that's what life's about. You shouldn't be sad and depressed." I was a bit stunned but at least I didn't take him out. Part of me envies him. I wish I had the choice to not be sad and depressed.
One thing is certain to make me smile -- George Clooney. I can't help that, either. I see a picture of the man and I automatically smile. It's an involuntary reaction. I bought this week's TV Guide (I never buy TV Guide) solely because his beautiful face was smiling at me in the check out line. If I could meet him I'd just want to sit next to him and look at him. That's all. No talking, no touching -- just looking at his face. Yes, I know it's a bit stalkerish but what can I do? I'd love to watch him drink coffee, drive a car, read the paper ... whatever. I guess that beautiful face just does something to the muscles in my face. Well, that villa in Italy doesn't hurt, either.

Good morning my darling daughter. I'm so sorry that you've had a bad couple of days. I wish you would have mentioned it when I talked to you Monday. I suppose it's partly due to the 18th. Bad day. I agree with you about George. A mighty nice face to look upon.
When you didn't blog yesterday I figured you were not in a good place. I went to bed early last night, though, so didn't realize until this morning that you had skipped the day. I wish I had called you yesterday. I hope today is a better day. If it's not, have a couple of drinks, rehab be damned ;). And a pox on those who think you have a drinking problem. WHATEVER! I love you lots, J. Please take care of yourself.
Hey Sis! I'm sorry your having a rough time of late. Just like a rollercoaster up and down. I hate that for you. I wrote a comment yesterday but it's not posted, and when I went to post today it said 0comments and there was one. Oh well. I love that song and had to listen to it yesterday a few times along with some other Worship songs I have downloaded. I still get goose bumps when I hear or sing the song You are Holy (Prince of Peace) I miss church. I love ya chick! Hang in there a better day is just around the corner! 18 more that is cuz in 18 days I am going to be there Wooo Hoooo!!!!!!
Just wanted to say that I am still reading everyday and I love you. I wish I lived close, so that I could actually see you and hang with you. I would love that! Love you.
Hi, Mommy!
The past few days have been really hard for me too. The 2 days before the 18th especially. Not sure why... but they were.
And I highly doubt Son # 2 has really just "gotten over it". What a dork.
Anyway... you're kind of a creeper about George Clooney, but I'll see what I can do to introduce you guys. I'm pretty famous up here in Waco, so it shouldn't be too hard. I'll pull a couple of strings for you.
I love you mucho mucho mucho. And I'll talk to you soon.
(Countdown till I see you: 3 days!)
Wondered where you were yesterday. I'm so sorry about the last couple of days and about what #2 said. It may just be his way of processing??
(On another note, I have ALWAYS had a thing for Mr. Clooney and have that same issue of TV Guide!! I have a Pavlov's dogs reaction myself and am not the least bit ashamed to admit it!!)
Hope today will be a bit easier for you. Will continue to pray for you and the kids.

I agree with you. George is easy on the eyes.

I have the good fortune to see that smiling face in a coffee and a Campari commercial! Lucky me.
Hiya.
Tough couple of days here too:(
Wish we could just have a margarita together. (..and we can both rehab together too;)
I think the thing about George is that impish twinkle in his eyes! You can't help but grin when you see it. I'm glad he makes you smile.
Anyhow...I love you.

I think you should rent all of the "Ocean's" movies, open a bottle of wine, and enjoy. (We have those movies if you want to save a trip to Blockbuster!)
