Good Times ....

.... are a really good thing to have.

My friend V is visiting from Oklahoma. She came in yesterday. I love spending time with her.

C and his girls came over for dinner last night .... D#3 was in town, too and she cooked a fabulous meal. My friend D came over, too, to hang with us and to relax. We had a great evening.

In the not-so-good news department .... Son #2 has a big bad case of mono. He was diagnosed yesterday morning. I knew he was really sick when he called to make the appointment ..... AND said that he wanted a shot. Yikes.

His throat has been keeping him up at night and was causing severe pain.

Thankfully, he's feeling better today. He's laying low and sleeping a lot, so we haven't seen much of him. I just check on him once in a while to make sure he's still breathing.

Son #3 left for camp today. Daughter #3 is volunteering at the camp this week so they drove off together (Son #1 and Daughter #2 are working there this summer).

One son sleeping most of the time and one son off at camp.

It will be a quiet week.

Quiet weeks are nice.

:)

Next week will be even quieter. Son #3 will be on the youth trip and Son #2 will be taking his turn to spend a week at camp.

It almost makes you want to cry, doesn't it?

:)

Oh ..... tears of loneliness, of course.

Huge, fat lonely tears.

(Yes, the boys still read the blog once in a while.)

I will muster up my strength though .... and get through the quiet week as best I can.

I will try to push the giddiness down and out of sight.

Just the thought of all of that giddiness makes me light headed.

I'd better go work on my strength-mustering.

As best I can.

Bye Peeps.

And Happy Sunday.

:)
