Morning, sisters of my heart...

I got rejected this morning. I don't take rejection very well. I went for my appt to give platelets and my iron count was too low. They took both platelets and whole blood last time and that always gets me low. Even when I take extra iron. Oh well, my next appt is in 2 weeks, we'll see what happens then.

I got a perm last Friday along with my nails done. Usually Bill will be off work and that is our day together, but he had to work. Time and a half, oh yeah. In fact, starting with 2 Fridays from now for about a month, he will be working 6 days a week. Big contract to get out.

Went shopping at Lowe's yesterday for some dirt. Pat (#2 son) gave me a half whiskey barrel barrel. Nooooooooooooooooo, the whiskey was all gone, darn it. Of course while there I just happened to see a pretty hanging basket that had the tiniest white flowers on it, yes, of course I got it. Also some (scheculed to get) plants. I just love to shop nurseries. I also got a pot to start my new cactus pot. When I got home from my rejection this morning, I fed all the gardens. That takes a while. Good thing Bill works where they make plant foods and such.

We had a quiet Mothers Day. Big family party was Saturday but didn't go to it. Bill's back has been acting up and not sitting in a comfortable chair, or standing would be too much, so he begged out. The next day, those few who didn't go, got together with Mom for lunch at my youngest sister's house. That was nice.

Oh yeah, I am so excited yet apprehensive. Mike called from Korea to wish me happy mothers day and said he would be here Tue, today; 3 weeks early. It will take him about 22-24 hrs with a couple of stops on the way. He left yesterday. He's really excited and so are we. He said he will go pick up Alex (his #1 dd) from school tomorrow and surprise her. Wish I could see that but it is a special moment for them so I'll wait till Mike comes here. Bill wants to have a family (our little one) bbq Sunday. Can't wait.

To all my friends out there, prayers to those who need them. I know there are many. BIG HUGS for all. ..Free

Morning Free sounds like you had a good day yesterday after all. I bet next time you go you will be able to give those platletts again.

How exciting that Mike will be home three weeks early. I am sure you will be soo happy to see him.

Have a great day my friend.

Love

Mary

Free,

A perm and your nails done?? Girl, you are too "elegant" to be out there puttering around in the dirt!! LOL!! Sounds like you had a fun day collecting plants etc.

How exciting to have ds surprising you with an early return. Alex will be so elated! it would be fun to be there and witness the reunion. Is this a vacation for him or is he being transferred somewhere else now?

Have a wonderful day! Many hugs!
