Joy & Sorrow

I am experiencing a lot of different emotions right now. Alot has happened since I last posted. Last Friday, I attended Bud's Mother's day luncheon. It was sweet. A few weeks ago he had to turn in what his favorite thing was that I made and he had to describe how to make it. It was quite funny. And then at the Mother's Day luncheon we had to make it and bring it to share with everyone else. He chose brownies. There was all different kinds of food there: brownies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, flan (?-whatever that is, needless to say I didn't try it), spaghetti, mac & cheese, fruity pancakes,oreos, some type of strawberry dessert and many other things. Here's a few pics from that day.

~He is showing me the oreo he is eating.


~This is the flower pot that he painted for me.


~They had given us some flowers and he was slinging them around on stage. I think there was at least one flower still left on it when he was done.


~This is what he was doing instead of singing his special Mother's Day song..NICE!

Then on Sunday was Mother's Day. D had to work so we met my mom for a picnic after church. We had planned on going to a park where there were ducks and a beautiful lake but it was too windy. Mom couldn't even get the sheet to stay down because of all the wind so we decided to pack it up and we had a little picnic under her carport at her house. It was such a beautiful day. I'm so glad I got to spend it with my mom and my babies and Dee-deed. We then went home and waited for D to get home and then grilled out some yummy steaks and enjoyed being with him. Here are some pics from that afternoon at mom's.

~My babies..I am blessed!

Today was Bud's last day of school and I am so excited! I am his room mom and was in charge of his party. It was alot of fun and hopefully I'll be able to post some pics soon. I totally forgot my camera this morning but one of the other moms took some pics for me.


~~~Also this past weekend I found out that a friends mom was in the hospital. She had been battling cancer for the last 8 or 9 years. Well, she passed away this morning and I am so deeply sad for the loss of her sweet life. Sad for my friends because I know they are hurting right now. I don't know what to do for them or what to say to them. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. I feel helpless.

AND then tomorrow Meggy has her end of school year party and then her graduation tomorrow night. I'll be taking lots of tissue's with me over the next few days as I go through joy and sorrow at the same time.
