Happy Mother's Day

Well, we finally got a Saturday when the wind was not blowing
so we were able to hang the cute lights JP and Shelly gave us for
Christmas. I love them! They make the patio look so festive!





This peonie was the only bloom I got this year. When they bloom, it reminds me of MOM. This planter was hers and the flowers in it just come up naturally every year. She loved the peonies as they reminded her of Grandma. Now, every year I get to be reminded of both my Mom and Grandma--so appropriate around Mother's Day. I miss both of them very much. Seems the older I get, the more I miss my mommy! Happy Mother's Day to all my sisters, neices, and friends. I love you all!

Well, after 5 long months of HELL/Misery I will be having sinus surgery on May 20th. Who knew? Very long story short, after seeing our "Doctor" and three specialists it was discovered that my sinuses literally "blew up"! The Cardiologist and Endocrinologist I saw both feel this is what my "problem" has been all along. Hopefully, when it is over, I can get off the high blood pressure meds-they are truly aweful.

People have told me my ENT is the best. He told me I had a deviated septum as well--(maybe from a little baseball accident when I was a little girl, Wally????) So, I sort of get a nose job in the process--only my nose won't look any different.

All I ask is for relief and your prayers. The 20th is the soonest opening he had and it falls on our last week of school--finals week. So, I won't be there to see all my little darlings off to summer break. I hate making sub plans but this will be easy. For my final this year, I am giving a mandatory CTE survey. Once the survey is over, I'll leave a movie or game to play. Easy enough, but what do I care? Then I will have to go into work when I feel better to input and verify my grades. The ENT said I will be down a couple of days, but I have to go back once a week for three weeks to get stints and bandages removed, etc...OUCH! I told him to just give me DRUGS!
