Just Call Me Mama

Welcome to my blog and the inner-workings of my brain. This is my method of coping with my life: the losses, the joys and my struggle back to being a writer. You'll find my most private thoughts as well as my most recent attempts at writing again. Enjoy and feel free to share your thoughts with me.

It's been a while...

It's funny that I'm so busy, but I find the time to post on the girls' site, but never make it here.

First, J is wonderful. As Jess said the other day, I have to remember that he's not a mind reader. I need to communicate my wants and needs. There is no "I shouldn't have to ask."

There's a lot I want to write, but don't have the brain power right now.

Jana and I planted our garden. We have 7 types of tomatoes, sweet banana peppers, golden bells, lady bells, and 2 different kinds of cucumbers. She was my little helper, handing me the sprayer, making sure that I put the flower and vegetable food in each hole and made me tell her what I was putting in each hole. She's such a cutie!

We had a mellow Mother's Day. I got some sweet cards, and an azalea plant. It was frustrating to make most of breakfast, clean up, and barely get a shower before everyone arrived. Not that it was expected, but it's a change, but I didn't get a card from my inlaws, and when they stopped to get coffee on their way, the didn't offer to get me one (I'm the only other coffee drinker in the group). It just made me feel a bit awkward. I'm assuming that I'm reading more into it and not getting upset, but I have to admit that it makes me worry that I've done something.

J worked so hard yesterday to get the garden prepped and as well as to spread our two yards of bark.

Keep your fingers crossed and/or say a little prayer for me. I think I have an in for a position that is opening at the gym that I go to. This would be such an amazing opportunity. I've always wanted to be a personal trainer or teach group exercise classes, but never had an in to this field and it is definitely a field you need an in to.

I'll try to be back soon to talk about some of the things on my mind.
