7 Days and Counting

I don't think i could have a better gift then to get to go on a cruise for my 25th aniversary. I will enjoy Peggy so much. We have a 8 hour drive to the port of departure. I pulled out the suit case so I feel like when I can look at it, I think yes you really are going away from here. I look forwar to reading and really just doing nothing. Walking on the beach was one of Mike and my favorite. You feell like it can walk and walk and things are just the same, gorgeous. We did love to vacation the same. Nothing but watching kids and resting.
I had thought today was the 16th so I was quiet disappointed. I had plkanned for the kids to come to dinner. I made one of Mike's favorite dinners. Beef, vegetable stew, the kids were to come at 2:00/ So Todd could go to work afterwards. He called and canceled had to be at work 2 hours earlier. Michael came home from work to eat and Samuel left early. I think Mollie forgot and ate after going to church with her friend, they went to lunch. It was sorta disappointing, I cut and cut, chopped and chopped, so get over it. Iw ould have had them do something else. Michael is still sick, I feel good and Mollie is starting to get the stuff.
The band was so good last night. I just enjoyed watching the crowd so. Most of them were in there late 30"s or very early 40's. The cuttest couples, having such a silly time. Dancing and laughing. I did enjoy it. I enjoyed dinner with Lynn. I was so impressed with them playing.
I have counseling in the am at 8, I feel like I haven't worked on anything that I had planned on. Oh well. Today is the aniversary that Mom died. I really do miss her. She is one you can call and just tell stuff to. She likes to here of recipes, shopping experiences, sales and just whatever the kids have been into. I have been very blessed to be able to tell Fred, Jane or Sharon anything that the kids are doing even not good things and I didn't feel judged. I know they still lvoe them. I do realize that is a gift.
Samuel leaves in the early morning to go to Missouri University to visit. They are out of school and Kelseys mom is taking them so they can go to the open house.
Mollie missed the winterfest this year, the kids are on their way home. She was really good about not going. She missed a 1/2 day on Friday so I know she will have anxiety when she wakes up from her nap. Has slept the aternoon.
Make a wonderful week. Do yoiu know it is like 2 week for day light savings. Yippeee
