Getting kicked in the n*ts by life

may life send you sugar, lots of it, and soon! enough with the lemons!

I appreciate the well wishes. My son is getting married tomorrow and it's been a little crazy around here getting ready but at least I'm not the mother of the bride! I'm planning on making boutonnieres & posies today and figuring out some spreads for a bread buffet. Son is decorating the wedding cake (he's a chef) and I still need to find some clothes to wear. It's really hard to find women's clothes that don't look like a paint pallet threw up! :p

We found a landscaper and so our whole yard is excavated now and we'll plan out the rest of it soon. I'll post some pictures when we get things a little more finished.

Emma is doing okay. She found a lovely dress that covers her brace and she looks great in it. She and I had a good night face painting at the Promenade and so I was able to pay her a little more this time. She's applying for a job at our favorite sandwich shop...hope she gets it for her sake.

We helped my oldest daughter get her car fixed and licensed with the agreement that she would work at the house weeding/cleaning/organizing but then she found out she might be pregnant again and says she's "tired"...it's hard for me to be excited because her baby just celebrated her first birthday and they have no money. It's hard to be a grandma when they aren't in a very good financial position.

I try to keep the bumps in perspective but sometimes it's hard. I hope that tomorrow goes well and we see a lot of friends and my parents don't cause drama with each other....I want to eat and dance and laugh.

D.

I'm so glad things are looking up for you. It sounds like a lot of work but well worth it! Don't forget to relax & breath for a bit. Blessings!!!!

I'm glad things are looking up! Just breathe and relax, and it will all end up working out. Sending hugs your way!
