Today is going to be a really long day.  I came in at midnight last night because I’m doing orientation for a new hire today.  Needless to say my sleep was off yesterday.  Hopefully I’ll be able to stay alert all day.

I also want to go to Zumba at 5:30 this afternoon with Traci.  All this exercise I’ve done this week and stayed within my points and still no weight loss.  It’s so discouraging, but I won’t give up.  I know it will show on the scale sooner or later, just have to keep at it.

No one can count on the future

or know what they someday might do,

But could I have chosen the son that I wanted,

the one I’d have picked would be you.

I’d have wished for your great sense of humor

and dreamed of your spirit and style.

I’d have hoped for your love and affection,

imagined the joy in your smile…

Life holds some gifts and surprises,

and one of the best there could be

is having a son who’s exactly the one

who’s already been given to me.

What a great Mother’s day this was.   I had to work tonight so Ryan came over and cooked breakfast for me.  He made an egg frittata and broccoli that was out of this world delicious. He then gave me a homemade card made from legal paper and duct tape!  I thought it was great, so Ryan, lol.  The card told me to go to a web page and there was a picture of Ryan, myself, Ricky and Aaron from our wedding and a lovely letter from Ryan.  I was so touched by his words.  I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful and thoughtful son. This has to be one of the best Mother’s day I’ve had!  Ricky also washed my car for me!
