My mom called lastnight.
Me..hello
Mom...whatcha doing?
Me...why? what's wrong?
Mom...(lil giggle)nothing is wrong. Everything there ok?
Me..uh huh
Mom...what are you doing tomorrow?
Me..... nothing really. Do you need me to do something?
Mom....well I spent the day shopping trying to find you and your sisters the perfect piece of jewelry...I really tried, but I couldn't find it so I wanted to bring over a little monetary gift.
Me....huh?
Mom....oh I didn't tell you! I won $5000.
Me....no way! how'd you do that?
Mom...your father and I went to the boat, and I won...and it was fun!
Me...what machine did you win it on?
Mom...some quarter machine. I was playing 5 quarters at a time.
Me...no way! did the lights blink and bells ring and stuff.
Mom.....actually it was pretty quiet. I think they had the sound turned down....they keep things pretty quiet there when people win.
Me...what did dad say when you won.
Mom...(laughs) ....he said "what's 5 divided by2." (laughs)......so will you be home tomorrow?
Me...mom, I don't want your money.
Mom...I wanted to do something for you and your sisters. I just couldn't find the perfect piece of jewelry. I'll stop over tomorrow, ok?
Me..ok mom.
Mom...if you talk to your sisters, don't say anything to them. I want it to be a surprise!
Me..okay!
Mom...all the kids okay?
Me..yes. Dad feeling alright?
Mom....He's fine! "E" (my oldest son) stopped over the other day to help dad move some furniture. He looked so handsome, Jane.
Me...He's a good person, mom.
Mom...yes. Well I'll see you tomorrow.
Me....okay mom, see you then..tell dad hi......I love you.
Mom...I love you!

If you don't want her dirty casino money, you can send it to me.
Jerry, Funny you should make that offer because
my first thought when mom gave me the money was "I can't spend this dirty casino money! Maybe I should just send it to one of the blogggers. Maybe I should send it to othurme."
But after careful thought and consideration, I've decided I can't run from my problems. So as much as it will pain me to buy myself a beautiful, sparkling piece of jewelry, I'll manage to get through it!........
Thanks for the offer. It was very thoughtful of you!
Thanks for thinking of me first.
