So life has taken over for awhile here on my mountain. My wonderful husband is in Mississippi starting his new job, Ally and Brody are getting married on June 5th, If you are upset cause of no invite, do not be, this is going to be simple, small, lovely and just what they want. Robyn is home from college, keeping me sane and mocha is protecting us and warming our feet.
The wedding seems to be coming together and I will mail out announcements after the wedding .the kids are thrilled and it is exactly how they want it. Love that they are doing it so small and sweet and realize their life together is what is most important. They are just perfect together and have weathered so much. Jaidyn our angel is smiling from heaven.
Ally is enjoying her summer job, stressing due to perfectionism, and looking very professional each and every day.
Robyn is also enjoying summer employment, liking pricking fingers and doing hearing tests. The term nurse is being explored and she is up everyday at five. Amazing
Jeff is learning his new surroundings and trying to find us a new home. He has what seems to be a pet chicken, the bird appears at his window each day at5. The girls have named it chicken noodle and chicken doodle so we are calling it noodle-doodle.
He likes the pool and hot tub at the hotel and realizes how much he misses my cooking.
I am sad to be ending my teaching year but hope to have an interview or two in Mississippi in June. I need a root canal due to teeth clenching at night but the meds have let me eat today. Yeah, after a few weeks of feeling crummy, I am grateful and wish that the scales showed the lack of food, but I will not let that frustrate me. Lord knows that frustration appears regardless.
Goals:
Finish school and let kids know how wonderful they are.
Stop gritting teeth and relax with a mouth guard.
Get the wedding off with out too many hitches.
Go to Mississippi and find a new home and job.
Be greatful for all the mixed up things I call a life.
Try to blog more ...... Did you miss me???//

Happy Mother's Day
Mother's Day. Why just one day a year? Being a mother takes 24 hours a day 365 days a year and still at times, I feel as if I should be doing a better job.
I have wonderful, beautiful daughters that I am so proud of. I love being their mother. I wanted to be their mother before they were born. We had trouble getting pregnant so the thought that went into these two wonderful children was full of science and patience and prayer.
I have been very blessed as they are the most amazing young ladies. Each day they grow and change and make me proud. They worry about grades, if their friends are doing okay and most days if their mother is doing okay. Jeff left today for a seperation that is due to the new job. I really do not like being away from him as we have always made our role of parents, one of co-parents. If I had had a long day, he would take the girls for a walk, let me go teach basket class which turned into an every Monday night thing which the became "Noodle Night" for him and the girls. It has always been the two of us. Yes, I help with the need for new clothes, makeup etc. but the girls call dad when they need to ask techniccal questions, tell him about something that learned in class or to ask nicely for money for school and books. I am so grateful that they also ask him all the computer questions.
They also know to ask him to go to the movies with them, as I have a tendancy to fall asleep and snore at most movies. I did make it through Iron Man 2 yesterday, but it was so loud I do not know how anyone could have slept.
In other words, I love being a mother, and a wife, and I hope my girls are able to see that in me most days. I know I am not perfect and make lots of mistakes in mothering, but if trying my best each and everyday is enough, then I am a Great Mother.

Wow
I can not believe that this is post number 60 for me. Who would have thought I had so much to say...
Today was the coldest day in sometime around this mountain. Cleaned the house til it sparkled and left for a few hours to let someone view our home. We took the dog with us which meant or options were limited, also the fact that Jeff and I still feel crummy. We were both chilled to the bones and driving around watching the clock til we could come back to the house.
Jeff cleaned the wood stove over 3 weeks ago and it was so pristine. By three we had to break down and start a fire. I love the wood stove. It is so warm and Ally came over and went for a burger with us. Too bad neither Jeff or I could taste it. No appetite or taste buds at the moment. Came home sat by the fire and watched Avatar.
Hoping that I can keep my eyes open, but not gonna happen. On a good day, I sleep through a movie.
I am going to look at this rest as a blessing and the lack of appetite as a blessing as well... Diet without trying.
Oh, yeah and it snowed here today too. May 1st. You would think I lived in Montana or something.
Here's to us feeling better tomorrow, warmer weather and a warm fire in the fireplace to help put one to sleep.
