I had a very nice Mothers Day. I went to sevices with Mollie and the church had put on a wonderful brunch. So nice. Roses on the tables, good food and so nice to see the families together. I had started crying on the way to church and then really struggled keeping it together during services. Mollie and I left early it wasn't what I could do.
The boys were home for the day. They decided to watch a movie and went and got Shrek 3. We all fit on the sofa, they went to sleep I enjoyed them all being there. What more could you want. They took me to eat at Fo Man Chu. A new resteraunt in Maplewood, Samuel works there. It was soooo good. I had a nice time. Samuel had worked Sat. night from 6:30 till 2:30. He had to close it was the first time so it took some time. He likes the place and I hope he does good there. It isn't too far to drive and a place that I know the manager.Th SUN is shining. It has been a while for me to get all excited about the day. I have been up doing chores since 6:30. I have been behind for a while. The usual you know how that is. The porch is cleaned off and the outside blown.
Brandon had a job this morning, he was over loading the tailor and off so early. He is getting a yard ready to sod. IT is amazing to me how hard he works. So many jobs going and still serving at the resteraunt. He has much to pay for and never complains. So much rain so he hasn't been able to mow as much as he would like. Michael gets off on Mondays so he is going to go and hoot with a friend. He really likes that. ALl the kids like the outdoors. I am trying to plan a camping trip somehwere in souther Missouri for Fathers day. I don't think I can do church or really be at the house. That was a very special day for us. I like to do things for birthdays and celebrations. It just sorta seems hollow right now. I know it will change, but for right now it sure is a killer.
Mollie and I are looking forward to Ashleys wedding. I get to do the hair. Hopefully to be a worker for the day.
It is funny how a day changes for the rest of your life. The 16th will always be different, the 17th for Mom. I missed her so terribly yesturday. I love how she always remembers me and sends fun things and cards. She was so good at that. I was thinking of how she would be up to making little things for the wedding. Arts and crafting all the way. I got to talk to Fred, I like that. His voice is comforting. SOmetimes when I first hear it I cry. Mollie is counting down the days for school to be out. I am too. It will be so nice not figuring how is she getting home, and just the whole thing has been tough this year. I am sorta not liking the idea of the kids in late, not being able to have the house after 10 to myself. I do love summer. Enjoy the sun and the week.
