Friday Update

Yeah, it is Friday! I think Mao wanted to sleep in today, he must have thought it was Saturday. He tried to keep his eyes closed when I woke up and turned the light on. He did peak once. He was still on the bed when I left to go to the bathroom. But, when I got out of the bathroom he was in the dining room looking at me.

Not much happened yesterday. Doug and I went to KFC (gay) and had snackers, and potato wedges. Doug also had two pieces of chicken and a yummy biscuit. We saved one snacker for Basher when she got off work. We watched Joey. Then we watched a show about feral children. I can't believe what some so called parents will do to thier children. Why have a kid if you don't want to take care of it. After that Doug watched Project Greenlight. They are making a horror film that is supposed to be very good with some kind of monster that takes on the skin of what it eats.

Don't forget free Frosty Weekend at Wendy's. I love Frostys....

Thursday Update

I hope all of the kids had a wonderful time at the Greenday concert. I don't know yet because I went to bed before the concert was over. We had a very nice meal of barbecued pork chops, apple sauce, corn, rolls and salad. American Idol went just as it should have yesterday. Anthony is now gone. Thomas gave me a Mother's Day gift while he was home yesterday. I can now shop at Home Depot for some of the extra things that I need for my garden. Thank you Thomas.

Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? - Frank Zappa, Elvis Has Left The Building

Wednesday Update

I'm glad it is Wednesday, that means the week is almost half over. Today is the Greenday concert that all of the kids have been looking forward to. Thomas will be driving down with a friend to go to the concert. They will be arriving around 2:30 or 3:00. Doug is planning on grilling marinated pork chops for the starving college boys.

We are now on a basement flood watch. After last year we do not want to take any chances. When it rains, we watch the basement very close. Last night we checked to make sure that anything that was cardboard or could be damaged was moved to higher ground.

I am afraid to see what the American Idol results will be tonight. Anthony wasn't all that bad, which could upset things. I was happy that Uchenna and Joyce won the Amazing Race.

Free Frosty Weekend!

If you want to get laid, go to college, but if you want an education, go to the library.

Monday Update

Mother's Day was very quiet. No kids here most of the day. Ashley surprised me with a bouquet of flowers and some yummy Reese's Cookies. Doug helped me make some very delicious marinated chicken. We were going to grill it, but the weather decided not to co-operate. It was just as well, Doug was not feeling well all day and should not have been outside grilling anyway.

Sunday Update - Mother's Day

Here it is Mother's Day and I am setting at the computer by myself at 10 in the morning. I looks like it will be just another day. No gathering today because of it being Mother's Day. Doug is not feeling well. His shoulder and stomach are hurting. Ashley has to work today at 1:00 and does not know what time she will get off. Chloe is not here this weekend. However, she did call this morning to tell me she still has people from Prom at her house. Unfortunately, we did not make it to her grand march. And last of all Thomas is at school and working today. I will probably do some more gardening today, if the weather holds out. I planted some of the tomatoes that I still had in the kitchen to the garden last night.
