On this my 100th blog, I would just like to say go me! I have to just tell you that I love blogging. I love hearing people tell me how much they enjoy my blog...love love love it! Thank you for reading and enjoying...kisses to you all...muah!
As I am dreading another week starting, and might I add long week, I am super excited about something that will be happening this week as well...Mama's coming home! That's right...Polly Ester (inside joke) AKA Joy Hicks is coming for almost a month long visit. We have not seen her for at least two years and I don't know about you but I need my mama!
There is something about a mother's love that warms your soul with just their presence alone. Just tonight I felt like I was needed by Ant when he came home from an overnight stay with his friends and I went in to talk to him and I started to scratch his back. Ant has always loved to have his back scratched and tonight it made me feel loved by him and we bonded in a silent way.
My kids are teenagers and I remember being a teen and not wanting to be around my parents. I had friends to hang out with, boys to be crazy for...so I get it. I understand when they have other priorities that do not include me. I felt that way then too but now is a different story. My mom lives in Texas and I miss her dearly. She is the only parent I have left and some days I wish that I could just drive to her house like I used to and just sit there with her and talk, laugh and even cry.
She reads my blogs every day and I am sure she will read this too. (Don't cry mom). I know that she is happy in her cute little house with little ol Pappy but truth be told...I want her here with me. I miss her so much and so does the rest of the family. But in the end, I know she is happy and content and her happiness means a lot to me.
So what are our plans for Mom? Well, I am sure we will bombard her with our presence the first few days and then due to school and work it may taper off a little. But I am making a vow to be at my sister's house where she is staying as much as I can. I'm going to bribe her to make me some of her famous chicken dumpling soup and I am going to take the kids to see her, they miss her a lot.
There's something comforting about coming home when you've been away for little while. I know my mom is excited and wil feel right at home once she's back. I can't wait! I love you mama...May God bless you with traveling mercies all the way here!
My next blog is number 101! Yay!!
