Catching Up

 I have been busy doing nothing. I wore myself out! As in to pooped to pop or some other dumb expression.

 If I could only manage to ingrain two words into my thick skull. PACE MYSELF.

 Good thing most everything around here is on automatic pilot. No babies to tend.

 These two are at the age where they come up with their own plans, like making signs for mom.

 Very cute I might add.

This was my present to my daughter, our first Mother's Day together in over 10 years! 

I fixed a little dinner party. She had to work. BOO! But we had surprises ready when she came home. Flowers courtesy of my back yard.

 Miss Lindsey Boo made a 100% sugar free chocolate confection that would do a person in. Oreo cookie crust (yep sugar fee) and crushed up Butterfingers candy inside with drizzled melted chocolate and walnuts on top with dollops of whipped cream. She made the chocolate pie filling with whipped cream and pudding so it was like moose and I wanted to eat it all. I could have. I could have eaten the whole thing.

 Jennifer could eat the whole thing too, but since there was only one pie neither of us did. Don't you want some? For some reason this sugar free desert did not have explosive side effects.

Lindsey took several pictures of us and this was the best of the worst.

None of the pictures were good, and I am not proud. Which is saying they were positively ghastly.

We enjoyed our dinner and toasted happy mother's day to each other.

We also laughed our heads off.

 The day before we went garage sale shopping. Once a year one of our finer southern subdivisions hosts a huge neighborhood sale. This year 70 homes participated. I have not shopped till I dropped for over 10 years, but my daughter is here now. One or the other would say..."just one more house," for 6 hours.

Needless to say I will be recovering from that for another couple of weeks. Please excuse me while I fall behind on everything. This is my pile. Yes I totally scored. Gold king size sheets with 4 pillow cases never used $10. A rust colored suede type fabric sofa cover from Sure fit for $20. Beautiful clothes that is a turquoise dress for $2, fully lined linen. GORGEOUS. Queen size sheet set for $3. Pottery Barn kids quilt for $1.75 and HUGE collection of Thomas and Friends train stuff....huge. I have been messing around with trains for 3 days... I may never get up off the floor again. I may never be able to get up off the floor again...somebody help me please.
