Happy Mother's Day! Happy Birthday Dad! Current mood: sleepy Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and moms to be in the world. May you raise your children with love, integrity, and the ability to laugh - at the world around them, and at themselves. It's harder than it sounds. Happy Birthday Dad! I'll see you soon to count your grey hairs myself. A good share of them are due to me, it's the least I can do to see how many I gave you... A longish weekend is made longer when the people around you don't feel so good. On Thursday Samantha started coming down with a cold... a slight fever that faded overnight but then kicked into a full chest cough on Friday. She (and I) didn't get much sleep Friday night, but the cough seems to be the worst of it for her. Saturday we were all up early so Sean and I could go to Georgia for the day and work a golf tournament. Beautiful day, although it did take me even more than usual to face it. By last night, Samantha and Sean were both coughing their way thru the night - not, of course, on a schedule that would keep them miserably together but on one that had a 15 minute gap in between. I got back to sleep around 4:30, and am very much groggy this morning. My Mother's Day may not be complete without a nap. My own present from Montgomery and Samantha (taken on Sean's phone / camea - not the best camera I've ever worked with to be sure) My coffee maker has gone on disability, so I'm off to find a cup of brew and a new machine this morning. Must have my coffee!
