There was?? (A 1990's remake with JG-L)
Sigh. My lounginess cost me a chance to see the Avengers today.
Also Happy Mother's Day.
I've been thinking about my BFF's mom who passed away 7 years ago.
I am also thinking about my father who would have been 78 today.
And my mother and how was it possible that two people who clearly loved each other could manage to just not communicate?
Who is JGL?
I overslept thanks to Benadryl, I have a headache from not eating all day until now, and I'm ditching all my plans for Getting Things Done today to go see Avengers again. Now I'm imagining taking my mom to see it. She'd be completely baffled. Think she'd like Captain America though. She'd like Natasha too. She always liked girls who could rescue themselves. Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
And my mother and how was it possible that two people who clearly loved each other could manage to just not communicate?
Seriously! My parents had been married about 30 years when they discovered that they each really both preferred the other side of the bed but suffered for their mate. I came home to visit and they had switched. When I asked what was up she told me that friends were discussing the preference and they made the discovery. Communication not a big thing with them.
"30 Years on the Wrong Side of the Bed" would be a great title.
Today is my mom's 65th birthday. We had a whole thing planned with my aunt and the kids and so on. But we got a call yesterday that my dad's mom is dying-kidney failure with maybe 48 hours left. She has been suffering dementia and other health issues for a while so its not a shock. But still, my mon is spending today driving from CO to MN and my dad is driving with her and not doing great. An I'm home alone with the kids because I had no chance to make other plans.
Still, Im grateful for my mom and all three of my children who made the day with a homemade vase (Ellie), a paper airplane he left at daddy's (Frisco), and Sammy (who has thrush which I just treated with the extremely intensely colored gentian violet).
I have a lot to do today, including work work. But I made breakfast, ate it, did those dishes, called my mom, put away clothes... and then I was hungry again. So I made cous cous with sauteed zucchini and canned black beans... and now I'm sleepy.
I think I'm going to take a nap. Somone call me in half an hour, make sure I'm up and functioning?
Xpost with Stephanie... that's one heck of a Sunday, let alone a Mother's Day. ~ma for your family, and I hope Sammy's better soon.
Happy Mother's day to all the other Buffista moms & their moms.
Peace and comfort to those Buffistas who have lost their mothers or their children.
Is this fourths? No better way to say it.
Thanks, smonster. I'm being optimistic and taking the kids to see Avengers. I think they will handle it okay. If not, I already saw it so I won't be mad if we leave.
