wow cathee–
Thats pretty great! My family all seem to have holiday birthdays (except for me-- I am one week away from a holiday). My sons’s bdays hit either mothers or fathers day (bdays are early May and mid June) and my h’s is on xmas. So holidays and birthdays are a bit of a blur… And for reasons too long to explain here, Memorial day weekend has become, for 6 of the last 7 years, family events (though this one’s will be sad, dealing with the belated 1st anniversary of my mom’s passing and an event that occurs at the cemetery). So, this years mothers day is a mixed feeling— My h. left yesterday to take care of his dad, but will be home for a late mothers day dinner. Younger s’s bday is the next day. So, I bought roses for the house today, and s’s bday present. When I picked him up, he offered to take me out to dinner, and commented that he’d planned to walk up to the shopping center to buy flowers tomorrow (sooo sweet) but then said he’d be embarassed to walk home with them ). I am excited that older s. will be home from college sometime towards the end of the week. I am, like sokkermom, anxious, but I did have the opportunity to see him over spring break. He’ll be home for all of 2 weeks, and is then off to a summer camp job 4 hours away. Bigger bummer-- no email!!! I will miss IM’ing him!! That will be harder to deal with!

I have not read too many threads these past few weeks, so have apparently missed whatever the big bruhaha is all about. Whatever it is/was, let me say that I wish you all a very happy Mothers day, and here’s hoping things continue on a positive thread (pun intended!)

edit NJRES-- LOVE your dog card!! My kind of humor!! :)
