So, what does normal look like today?

I''m holding steady at 50 percent. Not multi-tasking, which is less than desirable for a mom--and really less than desirable when my son is gettng married in 12 days.

The minute he called to say he was engaged, I had a To Do list that rivaled my daughter's Christmas wish list. Here I am, with 12 days to go--and most of it isn't going to get done. That's what happens when you get sick and lose 2 months.

And I'm okay with that. I'm good at closing doors on the messy rooms when company comes to visit. I'm good at delegating chores--or just realizing they don't need to get done. And because I'm still recovering, I just don't have the emotional energy to worry about too much right now. That's a good thing too.

I did find a dress--and I made sure my three daughtes and my mother-in-law found dresses too. That was quite enough shopping for me, thank you. Someone told me that the mother of the groom is to wear beige and blend into the background. My dress is a light yellow--so not quite beige. But I don't intend to steal a moment of Josh and Jen's day. It is all about them

I blogged a few things I wanted to say to Josh over at my Mommy-Come-Lately website. It's called Things to Say.
