Happy Mothers Day to Lori and to all the other mothers out there. It’s a well deserved day as mothers do have the toughest job. Not only do they have to do most of the dirty work, you know, diapers, to laundry to dishes and cleaning and more, but they also have to handle the emotional and mental stress of their children. I’m not discounting dads but Moms just seem to not only care more, but carry it more. I think the difference is they put more on themselves. Often they second guess how they raised their kids and are blinded by momentary lapses of judgement by their offspring which takes away from the overall amazing job they do just by unconditionally being there and loving their children. They always put their kids ahead of themselves and all others and that can take a toll on anyone. God had a master plan when he made mothers and like anything he does, it just works. So today, do something special for your mom. Call her or if she’s no longer physically with you, talk to her and thank her and say a prayer for her, she deserves it and much more.
At 10am yesterday we headed to Dixie’s to meet Rick, Dixie’s nephew and his son Dan who drove up for a visit. They stayed 2 hours and it was a really good visit. Dixie did really well. Her long term memory is much better than her short term.
Later in the afternoon Jagger showed up! We unloaded him and started more laundry. I’ll bet between the two of them, we’ll do 20 loads in the next few days, maybe more. I went to James around 4 for a few hours to hang out as he’s leaving for Paris today and will be back probably around June 20th as his last show over seas is in Sweden on June 18th. They have 8 shows over there in four cities. I headed home around 7 and Ty, Jack and Sonny were about 30 minutes behind me. Once they arrived we unloaded Jacks truck and started more laundry. The boys then all hung out, threw back a couple twelve packs of beer and played Play Station all night. This morning Jack will head back to Denver and Sonny will head home to his house in East Vail. Hard to believe they’re all 19 and 20 years old.
Lori has a massage at noon at the Westin and then we’ll hang out at home. She planted half a dozen plants yesterday afternoon and then we watched a movie between the boys arrival and laundry. It’s nice outside right now with blue skies and patchy clouds but no rain. Tomorrow am Jagger and I will head to Boulder to get the last of his stuff out of his apartment.
Lori and I are headed to the gym right now. Happy Mothers Day mom! Although a little grainy, this is one of my favorite pictures! She’s like a movie star who was caught off guard, sure miss her! I like the jeans hanging behind her on a hanger too, mom always hung our jeans so she wouldn’t shrink them, ha. Enjoy the day and God Bless.
