Picture Catch-up Day

Happy Tuesday, Peeps.

I'd love to tell you that today was a glorious, wonderful, amazing day.

It was not.

But .... it wasn't un-survivable (yes, I know that's not a word), either.

I started off sitting in a room with a Son, listening to a school counselor and feeling like I was going to throw up for the next few hours. No, I didn't have to sit there for that long ..... that part of the morning was just an hour. It's just the feelings, the memories, the ... aloneness that waved over me.

Then I went to work and stayed busy, as usual.

After work I took Son #2 to the bank to open his first account, then to get his haircut, and then on a couple of more errands.

By the time we came home I had spent pretty much all I had to give for the day. Although I was ready to cook dinner when Son #3 came home from football practice ..... but then he told me he didn't want to eat what I had planned so ..... there you go. I was done for the evening. :)

I'm not sure what the Sons had to eat, though I think it was along the lines of Chef Boyardee.

Gotta love the Chef.

I then did laundry and paid bills. Don't be jealous. I know it's just too much fun for most people to stand.

Tomorrow Son #3 has his weekly football game. It's a home game (and a Wednesday, which is different). I'm really, really hoping that I will remember to take my camera to the game. Maybe ..... when you send in all of your inquisitive questions (ha! stop keeping track of my grammar tonight) .... you can send in a reminder for me to take the camera. We'll see how many reminders I get. Hopefully .... a lot. This could be fun! Send in more than one, if you want. I really will need them.

OK, here are a few pictures from a couple of weeks ago:

I can only post this one because you can't really see D#1, who doesn't want to appear on the blog. So I can't show her face. I guess that means I'm going to have to learn how to edit pictures so that I can put a big Jack-in-the-Box head on her body. Then maybe she'll change her mind. Doubtful, but you never know:
This is from the first day of school for S#3 and S#2 ---- it's a tradition that I bake (ok, this year I bought) a cake on the first day and put a candle on the cake for whatever grade they're in. I started in when D#1 went to kindergarten and it stuck:

This is a beautiful mosaic that D#2 is making out of glass and stones. She started it at camp and this picture doesn't do it justice. It's very large and I think she's going to make it into a table top:

These are from the bridal shower I hosted. This is the lovely bride-to-be, C:

And her ever-so-handsome groom-to-be, R:

This is a card someone made that had a baby picture of R on the front of it:

These are from this past weekend in Dallas. D#2:

Cute little Melanie Oudin .... winning!!

This is S#1's dorm/frat room (even though he isn't in a frat):

Son #1 explaining the symbolism in this painting. Brownie points to anyone who can tell us who the artist is (yes, I do know). A hint ...... he's from Spain. Extra brownie points for anyone who knows the name of the painting:

This is the view from his door to his room (the back of the house):
What used to be the dining room:
This is the "sitting/living room":
With a flat screen tv:

So now you're all caught up on pictures, I believe.

It's time for me to pay more attention to the Open and cheer on Montfils ..... not that I don't like Nadal, because I do, but I'd like to Montfils move up in the ratings now. It's a good match but it's taking forever. I need to go to bed!!!

G'night, Peeps and don't forget to ask questions and remind me about ...... something .....

See?! I already forgot what it is!!!!
