For Janice and Steve

Comment Published at 04:3004:3014 comments14 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

I had a thought. I know this is shocking but hang in there until I tell you what it is.  I am boardering crazy here(oh!!!  I heard that!!! LOL!!! I said boardering!) . Lots going on and I may head to the cottage to help out there. It's Tuesday morning here and Janice and Steve will arrive Friday. Jess will be here sometime before them and everything is so exciting!!! Just so you know the house is sooooo far from being "fake".  I had the bedrooms cleaned but everyone was home for Mother's Day and the last one left yesterday. 

I had the best Mother's Day!!!  I was so blessed and I thank my wonderful kiddies. The day was perfect with everyone coming here but it just got better and better!!!  My two girls and my SIL took me to a spa for a hair cut !!! It was soooo funny,I was escourted and had no escape route at all!!  The three of them sat behind me and the laughter and giggling was going on through the whole process of making me look slightly less frumpy!!!  I thought this was so special for them to do for me. I came home as the "new" me and was treated to my son cooking along with my Husband so the meal was out of this world!  The kiddies took over pulling the table out to it's longest form(I love this,means everyone is here and the house is full!) and setting it. We gathered round for bar-b-qued shrimp,and pork chops and chicken breasts and my son did two lamb roasts. My husband did special potatoes that disappeared and we had a wonderful time talking and laughing.  I looked around the table and how easy to count your blessings. Each face so dear and special,each person so terribly close to your heart and wonderful. But the most special face was parked in a car seat!!! Little Sean will be 2 months old next week and my heart bounced when I got to hold him while he slept for a couple of hours. What heaven I was in to have not done the meal or the prep and my daughter took care of all the clean up and I was queen,more than queen,I was the one lucky enough to have all these people in my life. But I was the one to hold this little being and feel him dream and breath and just be. I am Mother to this wonderful group but I am Grandmother to the wonderful little next generation.  I am so blessed.

I was so moved by the day they gave me I was near tears,happy tears!!  It was so nice to be surrounded by the group and to get to feel Sean and I guess instead of yapping on (who me????LOL!?!) I should get back to the thought before the thought goes!  I was thinking that Janice has been out of touch and I know how very much eveyone means to her. I too feel that way and have not been on as much as I would like to be.  I feel bad as I have not been to lounges and have not been reading as much and feel that I need more time to visit everyone. So if I feel this,missing eveyone and missing the contact, I am sure Janice is really feeling it. I thought to use this blog and I could print off the messages to Janice and have them here for her when she gets here!  I thought this is a way for everyone to "BE" here too!  I know she has been busy taking in all the travel and sights but I think my dear friend....WHO I AM ABOUT TO MEET!!!!   ,sorry,very excited about it all!!!!.... will be really missing everyone too! So if we do this then she has the wishes printed out and forever they will be with her! Just a thought what do you guys think???

Re: For Janice and Steve

Wow Marg, that sounds like the perfect Mothers Day - wouldnt it have been great if you could have read it 2 months ago when little Sean was just beginning his journey into life outside? And now to top it, you get to meet Janice and Steve. I am so looking forward to reading all about Janice's Canadian Adventure when she finally gets the time, and of course to seeing ALL her photos, especially now you've had a makeover! Lovely daughters you have! And sons/DH - to cook for you - can I borrow them??? Let us know how it all goes in your inimitable style asap wont you?

I'm looking forward to it, too!  Waiting for your phone call.  I'll be gone tomorrow morning, but you can call in the afternoon or on Thursday or even Friday, but I'd love to hear from you soon!!  I can't wait to meet you and for you to meet my little smiley cuties.  ;)

Your mothers day sounded so wonderful. I am going to print it out and leave it in a conspicuous place for my kids to have a look at. It is great you got time to spend with Sean.

As for you and Janice and Steve and Jess, hoipe you have an absolutely marvellous time together. I know we are all looking forward to seeing pics and hearing stories of how you all painted Canada red. Enjoy.
