Mega. Mom. Monday. Memories.

Like many of you, I've had a MEGA busy day.
Somewhere along the way I have lost my "To Do List".
Does that mean I don't have "to do" anything more???
Actually I'm trying to remember what else I should be doing.

We head to Tulsa tomorrow so I've got lots of packing & "remembering" what needs to be done.  We travel tomorrow and have dinner with our long time friends when we get to town.  Saturday will be Christmas with dh's side of Family and Sunday is my side of the Family.  I've really been missing my Mom; haven't seen her since August, so will be glad to see her on Sunday.  She is preparing for our family gathering and seems to be enjoying all the preparation.


We'll be back on Monday evening.
I'll shop for groceries on Tues, then Atlanta son will be here on Wed and stay through Sunday.  Lots of fun on the horizon.

Can't wait to see the Granddolls.
They are especially FUN at Christmas!!

Tomorrow is the 3 yr anniversary of my Dad's passing.
I miss him and think of him often and the memories make me smile.
I smile to remember the way he always said "Santy Claus" instead of "Santa".  I also can still hear him calling me "Sugarbabe"; he ALWAYS called me that.  Sweet memories for sure.


I'll probably have a couple of times I can read some posts during the weekend, so you never know when I'll be popping by!!

HUGS all!

Have a safe trip to Tulsa Deb...Angels on your bumpers as always.

Wow...it's been 3 years that your Dad has been gone already? I remember when he passed...where did the time go? My Dad will be gone 13 years on the 27th...I've been thinking of both he and, of course, Mom so much lately. The tears are just below the surface.

Love your Dad's nickname for you. My Dad called me, Jo. My middle name is Joelle so he just called me Jo.

My nephew "finally" called and asked me what I would be doing for Christmas. I had already made plans as I didn't want to be alone and he and Nikki always go to her cousin's house on Christmas Day. I guess they're not going this year or it's on a different day or something. He said, "well, I just didn't want you to be alone." That was nice...he just waited too long to ask me.

Check in when you can and gather up all the love you can from your family. They're a precious commodity.

Deb, hope all goes well despite the lost list. I'm sure you'll have it well in hand. Sounds like an awesome fun filled trip ahead.
