Flaming June's Love

Andy and I are going away tomorrow night for one night. We are going to a quaint little town with antique shops and coffee houses. We are staying in a bed and breakfast and I cant wait. I am losing touch with him. I feel very detached from most everyone. I have withdrawn a bit with the stress of getting Jack settled into school. Now that he is definately on the right track , I am not. I went to my Obgyn yesterday and I told him my feelings of up and down. were they hormonal or pre-menopausal? He said he could put me on an antidepressant, I opted not on that idea, at his point anyway. I think I need to make a conscious effort to take care of myself. I need to be in the minute and not think too far ahead and drag myself down with things that may not happen. So.. Andy and I will get out of town and head to New Hope for a night of grown up talk. I am grateful my Mom and daughters are going to watch jack for us. Maybe I will come back refreshed and a new woman.?

Sorry about the massive delay. We had a lovely Thanksgiving. Had a blessed Christmas, and quiet New Years eve. The kids seemed happy with their gifts, as I was. I received some beautiful thoughtful gifts. Mary Cassatt books, homemade Jewelry box from jack and Andy. A robe that is cozy and comfy from my girlies. I received a homemade cd from brother Dan that really touches me. the music was sweet and deep. Im thinking the things hecant SAY out loud, he is SAYING in music. I love him for that. The holiday season was one I have been waiting to have for many years. We hosted Christmas at our house. We started with Christmas eve. My sister in law and nephews even stayed here for Santa to visit! Andy and I went to A friends house around 12 midnight and enjoyed a few beers. Then came home and got ready for the big day! Christmas day we had 25 people here. We also had breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, drinks of every shape and size, we had 10 am mamosa's which were awesome. Then we st...

I sat at our dining room table this Thanksgiving and didnt eat. I had made a decision a few days or weeks before that I was going to enjoy the people sitting around our table this year and MAKE A MEMORY. I wanted to concentrate on the people we were sharing with and make a memory of them enjoying their dinner. That I had made. Because I LOVE THEM, ALL, SO, VERY, MUCH. Andy Timmy Allie Missi Mom Davey Bob Suzie Jack I love you all and am grateful to have you in my life. That said, Cant wait for Christmas. Love abounds.

Don't take too long to think about this. Name fifteen FICTIONAL characters (from television, films, plays, books, etc.) who have influenced you in some way and/or will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you think of in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen or more of your friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing which characters my friends choose. To do this, just go to your "NOTES" tab on your profile page, copy and paste these rules in a new note, type in your fifteen picks, and tag your 15 friends. No particular order, just how they hit my head. 1. Peggy Sue. She had a chance to go back and change her life, and chose the same route she took the first time around. I sort of see her point of view. 2. Ruth from "Friend Green Tomatoes" She LOVED her child and LOVED her friends. The end. 3. Princess Diana. Fell in Love with a man. Didnt get what she thought came with the deal.. Fell down hard, got herself up and came back s...
