Good Morning Gang and welcome to Fridays edition of the morning post brought to you live for the beautiful desert!

I want to thank each and everyone of you who signed my surgery page....WOW that is amazing and all the other well wishes! Believe me they are very appreciated.

I should be walking out the door right now to the surgery center, but as you can see, I have to make one last post as I do not know how well I will be doing this for a few days after surgery. BTW....I am having a hernia repair and my breast fixed.....I am definitely going to be t-boned and them some....egads!!!

Well any rate.....stop reading and start posting....I wanna know what you are doing for the weekend and what are you doing for Mothers Day?

Happy Mothers Day to all you mom's out there and the mom-dads too....it takes all of us!!!! Celebrate...you surely all do deserve it!!!

PEACE and LOVE to all of you!

 Happy Mother's Day You Rock, Mom

Good Morning Janine and Cali Guys and Gals,

Thinking of you this morning as you are taking off to your surgery.  Once that is going to be very uneventful I am sure.  The only exiting thing about it is going to be on the 18th when they take the bandages off and you have those new boobies and no hernia! 

Well this weekend I am doing the walk with the Long Beach Gals.  Sunday I have not a clue, I think I will get breakfast in bed or something like that from the kids.  I would like a nap that would be nice.  lol.  I think I also get the day off from laundry and cooking and that is the best gift ever.  The kids usually put on a play and make me some darling things so I can't wait to see what all those things are going to be.    I am really exited about the walk on Saturday though as I heard Michael Bolton is going to do a little concert for us after the walk.  It should be so fun I can't wait.  Well that is all from me today.  I think I am going to get some coffee and wake up a bit.  Everyone have a wonderful day and I won't be on tomorrow as I will be leaving at 3:00 a.m. same as the other lades so dont' worry about us.

Hey girlfriend....you are gonna do just great - just remember to take it easy and let everyone take care of you for a change. 

This weekend is busy...tomorrow is the Revlon walk which I am so excited about (and Rhonda - I did remember to print the picture for you) then on Sunday I am working an estate sale for my friend so its a pretty full weekend for sure.

Today is just pick up the house then maybe some pool time (not sure) and early to bed tonight so I can meet my girls at 5 am to go to LA....

Hugs to all.....

Good Morning Janine and the Cali Group!

Friday starts with nothing. I got nothing. LOL. I mixed up the weekends and the district Barbeque is NEXT friday. So...I'm hoping the dh and ds take me to dinner tonight rather than wait till Sunday cuz Sunday is going to be crazy with people taking mom to dinner..I'm thinking Prime Rib at Carrows...

Need to go to Trader Joes cuz I'm finally out of a couple of things. We have a barbeque with friends on Saturday and Sunday I'm hiding from the phone.

Had trouble with my daughter this week and we're not speaking. I'll call my step mom for Mother's Day but do NOT expect any calls from my step daughters or my daughter on Sunday. Sigh...Hate Mother's Day. When my son is 18 this October, my mothering days are done. He'll be on our living trust and we can give to the grandkids if we want. All others have already gotten all they're gonna get from us (that's all their interested in anyway.)

I'd like to go to a movie on Sunday..we'll see.

Everyone have a good weekend..I live vicariously through your lives. LOL.

Amen to you sister, I'm in the same boat with my kids.  We'll have to swap stories. 

Hugs to you and remember to love yourself!  We're worth it and we've paid our dues.

Enjoy Mom's day regardless.

WARM HUGS TO YOU!

Gees, Dawn (and Barb)  I thought I was the only one who doesn't expect to hear from my kids on Mother's Day.  I have to admit it still hurts..but Lon will do something special and most likely we will go for a scooter ride...being in the foothills with everything so green right now takes my mind and spirit to a better place  What I miss most is not being able to see my grandkids...but it is what it is

I wish you both a better Mother's Day...we did the best we knew how

I have to keep reminding myself of that...I did the best I could with what I had to work with...And the step daughters too. We've had to cut our ties with all of them...I keep funds for the grandkids, still and add to them on their birthdays and holidays, still...but we haven't seen any of them since after the twins were born in 2004. Two granddaughters added since then...

Morning Chris
Glad to hear your lit'l toe is doing better!  How awful would it be to go to Yosemite and not beable to see all the breath-taking sites in that beautiful place :-(  Of course, don't over-do...I've crossed that SD Bridge...I am impressed that you want to WALK it LOL  Have a fabulous time next week....the wt tracking is in VERY capbable hands with Angel Barb! (where Does she find the time to do all she does???)
