Hi Everyone!

[paula1961]

Hope you have a great Mother's Day too Janet!! I won't get to see my kids until this next weekend so today isn't going to be very special to me this year. They will call me but that just isn't the same.

I hope Gidget does well during whelping. How many is she expecting? Can't wait to hear all about the new babies!!

I know what you mean Janet, I hate being stuck at home - I feel trapped! LOL! Now, mind you, if I am tired and I WANT to stay home, it's just peachy keen. But if I CAN'T leave for some reason, then that is exactly what I want to do!!! LOL!

I hope Gidget has a great delivery. I can't wait to find out what she has and watch them grow up!!!

Been a pretty good day today, i got the nicest present. I had taken my Serena to the breeders to be evaluated for the show ring, as sad as i am that she won't be shown i am thrilled to death to have brought her back home today, now everything is back to normal. I got phone calls from my girl's, they both had to work, i seen mom yesterday but still need to call her yet today. So it has been a good Mothers Day here.
Hope everyone else's day turns out nice also. Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother's Day Lynne!! I'm glad Serena is back home. Sorry you won't be able to show her.
Glad you have talked to your girls. I'm glad you're having a nice day

So far...no babies. Today is her 2nd due date and Wednesday will be her 3rd. Just have to wait and see.

Had to take Mom to the ER in Lafayette again. My younger brother and his wife were at Mom's house and Mom started having really bad stomach pains. She didn't have any more fluid in her belly and yet she was so swollen. She has peritonitis again. They had to give her a bag of the solution with antibiotics in it to keep in her belly overnight. Then my brother took her to the dialysis center this morning. She's feeling much better today. She is starting to get a little sloppy with the dialysis and that is why she got the infection. One day last week it was leaking and she just tightened it up. That can't happen...she needed to call the center immediately. Hopefully she'll do better.

I wish more were posting here more frequently, it seems like so many are gone now...

I'm sorry Janet, I haven't been posting much lately - been so busy. I read everyday and LOVE reading everyone's posts, but then I get busy and don't make my posts. I'm negligent.

My school was over last Friday, so that means that I'm reading papers like mad right now. I think I finally finished most of them today. I have HUGE ones to read though, one this week and one next week. They are both about 100 pages long, and I'm NOT looking forward to them!

Gary and I are getting ready to go on our trip to Arkansas - fishing and camping in our trailer - on the White river in northwest Arkansas. We'll be gone a couple of weeks. I'll have my phone to check in but the connections are slooooow, so I'll likely not post too much!

We'll be home 4 days and then gone to Alaska a couple of weeks. I'm getting so excited - I need a break from the madhouse of school!!! I will be teaching in July/Aug for 5 weeks, and so I don't have the whole summer off, but I'll make the most of the time I do have off.

I'll try to do better with my posting before I leave!

Wow, Gayle!! You have some nice trips planned for this summer. They sound like fun! I wish that my husband liked to travel like that......I'd love it!!

I've been so busy!! I have laundry stacked up in the laundry room, things that I need to get priced and into the flea market, flowers that need to get planted, and rooms that need to be straightened. I've been watching Karlie and Dean a couple of times a week and Dae Lynn's been out here a lot so I don't get much done. Kera came over and cleaned for me the other day trying to earn money for church camp. I think that she's going to come over every week and help out!!!

Yesterday was crazy! I had the kids in the morning, took Jazzi to the vet, had to take Glen to a farm on the other side of town, had a really bad storm coming so I moved all 20 of the ferns for the wedding into the garage plus some other bedding plants, then I covered up some other flowers with sheets to protect them in case of hail, then Dae Lynn and the kids, Amy and her girls, Jaci and Nate came and stayed at the house during the storm so I didn't get anything else done. The storm was really bad. We have a lot of limbs down at the shop and I'm sure that we'll hear of more damages, but thank goodness, we didn't have tornadoes!!!
