    Mag- sorry you are having a hard day. Like many other holidays, not everything is "rosie" for folks around these days as society tells us it should be. If your mother is gone, it can be a sad time. If you did not have a nurturing mom, it can be a time of void. If you lost a child (through death or adoption), that brings all kinds of feelings too. 

    Be gentle with yourself today and this weekend. There are a lot of emotions to deal with being newly diagnosed.

    On a brighter note, though, our new furniture was delivered. Here's a pic of it in place in the den. The pillows actually came with it. My spot is second from left.

    Thanks for the hugs & encouragement.

    Lily, I'm so sorry about your son. I hope he will have a change of heart. But it is so hard when family turns their back on you, I know.

    Sandy, I have known there were birthmothers out there like that but I cannot imagine such heartlessness. I often say I don't have the mom gene because I'm not like other moms I know (like my cousin) who see a child and coo over it, that's something that just got broken along the way. I never had another child, so I never had the experience of raising one, maybe that's it. But I loved my son enough to make sure he had two parents who could provide him a good education and every advantage that I couldn't. Maybe that's a mom gene after all.

    Happy Mothers Day, all of you who have mothered children (including those of the 4-footed variety).

    Magdeline I agree with Jazzy---this is an emotional time for so many for different reason, but just being DX with BC just adds to it. I'm happy that u have found u'r son and he will be close to u. And u did a wonderful act by wanting him to have a good home, I miss my mom too, I think that's what was so great about Mother's day, but like I said I told my DD's to spend it with their in-laws cuz it's absolutely fine with me--I see them all the time, well I live with one and my GS so we can all get together next week. I do wish u could feel better tho. Your furniture is great--I love it, I would be in every spot any chance I got. I kind of favor the right side of that sofa actually. LOL

    I hope whatever anyone is doing tomorrow it'll be a good day for all.

    Teka- I agree! I sometimes look in the mirror and often say "who put me in my mothers body" too! I look just like my mother and have many of her fine qualities. I have also come to understand the person she was as I grow older....

    Beautiful day here and enjoying some quiet time on the patio. I am taking it easy today, tired from the long go live week. I am going to stop over to see a friend who had surgery and is need of some help. As my sister says, you are going to "mother" someone who needs it today.

    Teka ... your post about talking like our mom is so true.  My son told me that he stopped the car one day when the kids were fighting and said, "We are not going on until you stop fighting."  Then he laughed because I had done that when he was little, and he swore he would never do it.

    Hi hermits- my friend I stopped to see who had surgery on Wednesday is doing much better. I had a good visit with her and her 3 year old son. He was so cute today, showing me all his little trains and then in the middle of it he looked up at me and said "I love you." Aww. Who could ask for more? 

    I heard there is snow up in Denver and Wyoming. Winter won't leave the west! It is warm and windy here today.

    Hope everybody is enjoying this spring day one way or another.

    Hi Ladies,

    Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day.  I had a great time with my little ones, the weather was perfect and we did our annual tradition of going to a beautiful nursery and bought my mom plants for her garden.  Tomorrow after school the girls will help her plant them.  We bought a bunch of plants for my container garden, living in NY doesn't really allow for much of a garden so I have containers around the yard and balcony.  

    waiting for the girls to fall asleep so I can watch Game of Thrones…good night ladies!

    I'm poppin in to say goodnight--I've been really busy today so I was keeping a low profile.  I'm really not fond of talking a lot on the phones so I've been doing a lot o that probably do to the weather---And I can't believe there is still snow around anywhere, but there is--we're getting rain with some big storms, don't like th storms, more scary than they used to be--So if it's just rain that's fine--But things aren't budding well yet so I'm sure soon we'll be in full leafy places like in one day. Oh well. Hope u all have a good nite.

    Hi hermits- chilly day here today only in the mid 50s. Freeze warnings around tonight. I have covered what I can once again and hope for the best. The valley areas are expected to freeze, up here on the mesa it is usually warmer and we may be okay. 

    It is going to be 87 by Saturday. Go figure! Loopy

    Good Morning all---

    Jazzy our weather is nuts too--a/c on one day heat the next so it's not a nice spring, I hope we at least have spring and not go directly to summer, but I would like to collect the 200.00 dollars---oh that' a board game. So confused.

    I hope everyone has a good day--I've been busy but I read during the day-

    Aw, Teka, so sweet of you to remember my son's visit. My cousin drove me the 3-1/2 hour trip to pick him up so he wouldn't have to rent a car. We are just so easy together, and he is so like me, and looks so much like my dad it's uncanny. We have the same hands & feet. But he has his birthfather's blue eyes.

    Happy (though hurting; no Celebrex for a week!)

    Mags trust me it is so cool for him to look like someone,  for me that is the best part of visiting with my father's family.
