I just cleaned up the kitchen and put a pot roast with onions, green peppers, and red potatoes in the crock pot. It will make the house smell so good.
Yesterday I left the house around 9 a.m. to run to the bank, and to buy some stamps. I met boyfriend at the high school and we went to the WalMart and then to the mall. Daughter asked for some Ed Hardy perfume for Christmas and a Ed Hardy back pack style purse. I searched online for the back pack but couldn't fine one anywhere. So I went ahead and bought the perfume set and with my purchase I got a free gift. Guess what it was? That's right. I got the backpack purse free. Yay!
I also bought most of what I wanted to get for sons for Christmas. So I put a good dent in my Christmas shopping.
I think son closes on his condo tomorrow. I'm not for sure cause neither is he. But yesterday I bought for each of their bathrooms all the personal hygiene products they'll need for a month. And I also got for them all the house cleaning products they'll need for awhile. So that's what I'll give them for a house warming gift along with the Halloween/Scary basket that I won from the work raffle.
Oldest son lived on his own for a couple of years before moving back home for a minute. So they have all the furniture, and appliances etc. that they need.
I still haven't finished the Senior Night collage. I'll get that done today.
I've been missing my mom a lot lately. Flashes of myself as a little girl kept coming to me. Me standing in the kitchen, the counter top at about eye level....I was all snotty and congested..feeling sick......I woke mom....she took me by the hand in her bedroom and walked me to the kitchen ...my mom was in the medicine cabinet in the kitchen getting out the Vick's Vapor rub then rubbed it on my chest, and spoke soothing words to me....................and I was thinking about her tucking me in, again for the night on the living room couch, making me feel cared for and loved.. It is a very vivid memory, and it made me miss her.............so boyfriend and I went to mom and dads house last evening. We just chit chatted awhile. But it was nice.......and I got to hug my mom and tell her I love her......and 1 more thing. I just remembered. Me and 2 of my sisters, because we were younger than our 2 older sisters.....so it was kind of like 2 different sets of children.................but I remember us 3 pretending to be asleep in the living room some of the time around bedtime so that dad would carry us up the stairs to our bedroom............he'd go along with our game and say to mom "well mom, I guess the girls are sleeping and I'll have to carry them upstairs." He'd pick up each of us. Two of us over one shoulder, one over the other, and up the stairs we'd go.......giggling. He'd act shocked that we were really awake, and like he'd been tricked...............made us giggle even more. Thanks mom and dad. :O)

Hi Jane, don't you love it when a plan comes together like the perfume and pack. You sure know how to take care of folks girl. With you around they don't have anything to worry about. See your mom every chance you get because you never know when you might loose her. I miss mine that died in 02. Have a great rest of the day.
Odie
I never missed my mom when she was alive, she was a pain in the butt.
I've decided I like to bake hamburger rather than fry it, it just seems to cook up better that way, four or five pounds at once.
Now I think I'll boil up a bunch of spuds and mash them, and some carrots also.
Break up the burger, and stir everything together and I got meals in the freezer for some time.
Bout time I made some cornbread I think.
I like cornbread.
you have a great day too, Odie.
