Special Plans

Here it is, the Mother's Day week-end. Didn't we just have Christmas? Never mind, that's what old people say, isn't it! But the year does seem to be just zooming along. Once again, I'm faced with "What do you want?" Oh boy, I really don't like that question.

Let's see, maybe some new stuff from Bath & Body works - no you don't like the wallflowers. Hmm, a cooking book? Nah, I struggle with cooking most of the time. (But I did really like the one "Cooking for Blonds" that a good friend gave me once....) Clothes? usually these come in an odd size and then I feel the need to go on a diet, or at least perceive you think I should go on a diet....

How about --- a walk on the beach reminiscing, or maybe dinner at our favorite pizza place with a little candle, or watching Somewhere in Time again (just because) or finding a fire ring at the beach and just sitting by the ocean listening to the waves and snuggling in the blanket watching the sunset. Or letting me know you miss my mom too. Then I'd know you understand how hard this week-end is.

But I'll smile. We'll have a nice lunch and I'll put on two pounds with the fabulous chocolate lava cake. All will be as it should be. And we'll make plans for Father's Day. The circle of life as it might be referred to...

All I really need is hugs. Two of them. One from DJ and one from JJ. My special day will be complete.
