Something I never thought of .....



OK, everyone talks about how honest I am on here ........ buckle your seat belts.
And this is for any of my children who might be reading this ...... WARNING: Do NOT read any further or your eyes will bleed and your mind will be scarred forever!!
If you're still reading this then you can't blame me. You have been warned.
Something occurred to me today .... for the first time. What am I going to do with all of my pretty "nightgowns" and lingerie? I have a quite a few. Sometimes when I'd go on a "girls weekend" or a trip I'd buy a pretty (and by pretty I mean sexy--well, it looked sexy on the hanger) nightgown as a present for Jim. He usually appreciated that more than something I bought last-minute at the airport. And let's face it -- women never buy these things for themselves (while husbands totally buy them for themselves!).
Anyway, I thought about that for the first time today. Guess someone at Goodwill will be pleasantly surprised.
The grieving mind is a very erratic.

Daughter #1 made it to Boston. I hope she has a blast.
Daughters #2 & #3 came home yesterday, along with "Thank God it's Not a Tattoo". It's been wonderful to have them here. They have to go back in the morning (#1 comes home Monday). I love their presence.
I'm considering getting a kitten/cat. I'm losing my mind.
Speaking of losing one's mind -- the girls went nuts with the mac cam:




















Son #2 made his theatrical debut tonight at our annual high school dinner theatre. He did a good job. And more importantly, he had fun.
I love to see my kids have fun. It's been a while.
And thank you Rebecca .... and please don't take my morons', dang!---SONS' cluelessness personally. I guess I can compare their brains to mine at the moment --- which would really be bad for them.
Actually, if my sons ever get wind of the fact that my memory is gone and my brain is fried ...... I will lose any semblance of control. Totally.
And thank you again A.C. for the awesome Bloody Marys. It is truly a gift and I'm so glad that you share it with me. :)
I love my kids.
And I love my friends.
You all help me get through each day. So much more than you know.
So much.

Those pictures were to dang funny! The one with you in the middle with the itty bitty head! (peed my pants funny!!!!) I am so ready for March it's not even funny! I have got to try these bloody marys I keep hearing about. I can't wait!!! I love you sis. OH, and the pretty nightgowns and lingerie...I don't even think they will make it to the floor. They will be picked through by the guys that sort. Like you say...they buy it for themselves!

No problem, Janine. I'll be back next week with a double batch in a new jug that I'm going to christen "Janine's Jug"!!

The pictures were hysterical--thanks for sharing them with all of us.

Janine, having two teenagers of my own it would impossible of me to take "anything" personally. I will bring you cookie bars anytime.
