better attitude
I am trying to have a better attitude about it all..... Mother's DAy and all. I rented a room at the locol HOliday Inn for Saturday night. We can go see MOm for 2 days. She can have 2 days of Evelyn time. I'm just trying to suck in as much MOm time as I can. I don't want to say, "I wish.....". No regrets... just enjoy what time we have... Say what I need to say and listen if she chooses to say anything. On the note of saying anything. My mom has received a computer that we can program to speak for her. It has general phrases built in but it can also be programed to her specific needs. I am so thrilled for her... even though it is rather late. I hope she can get her hands to work for her and type... has great potential. Whhat a great mother's day gift.
Speaking of gifts... I bought my MOm clothes. What do you get someone in a nursing home? Stuff is stuff...... Jewelry as we have found, "disappears"..... at our 1/2 carat expense thank you..... so.... clothes it is. Evelyn bought her grandma a corsage...heheh since it's her first "grandmothers" mothers day. She bought her the willow tree angel of the grandma and child... and a tshirt... that is about as cute as can be. It says... "Im a super Grandma. Just ask Evelyn"......
We can't eat or bring treats anymore... so basically we just sit there and visit. Positive, think positive...AMY! Okay, no bellyaching... just positivity.
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day... I should have had the memory card out but I have 3 gigs of pics FULL.... so tomorrow I will go get them squared away....toootsuite!
EV has been sleeping a rock star 12 hours a night for the last few nights.... I hope tonight is the same... SHe is such a good baby... filled w/ happiness and smiles.... All things good. God really blessed us in the sense we are not young parents. He went easy on us this time.... wonder what he will bring next *wink wink*.....
Speaking of winking... I should go get some stuff done =) I hope your THursday is fabulous! TA ta !
