		<description><![CDATA[I knew what you were saying about Mother&#039;s day. And I know the totally unrealistic expectations we put on our husbands, oh do I ever! I was trying to send some relief, so you knew you weren&#039;t weird or oeverly selfish. But I can&#039;t top conviction! Ha!

Hey - no worries on my blog! Your life doesn&#039;t revolve around commenting at my place! Silly *smile*

Love ya!

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for the great song, my friend. :) 

Thanks for the thoughts on Mother&#039;s Day, too. I think it became personal for me because I realized I often have expectations for him that are too far out there. He does so much for me, and I was convicted about appreciating the gift my hubby is and all the things that he does so well rather than focusing on the tiny things I wish he would do. Hope that makes sense. :) And he definitely won&#039;t let the day go unnoticed.

I&#039;m not ignoring your blog, either. You&#039;ve had some great posts lately! I&#039;ll hop over soon and leave some words!

Love ya! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. And Happy Mother&#039;s Day to you, too!

(((hugs)))

		<description><![CDATA[Hiya!

Okay, first things first here.....because of your words about Don and his family, I just HAD to share this song.....be prepared girl.....you WILL cry!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSyN9IaoevI

I&#039;ve heard people say believers should rejoice, not grieve over a loss. I do not agree. Not 100% anyway. People grieved all over the Bible....even Jesus! There is a time for weeping. So weep. And one day, we will see them again.

Mel, sometimes you remind me of my brother. He&#039;s pretty hard on himself, to the point of not wanting to go to a resturaunt where you sit down because he doesn&#039;t want to be served. We have a pretty strict, religious background and since he&#039;s the oldest he got the brunt of it all. Wanting anything for yourself, no matter how simple was not just wrong but sinful. We carry a lot of junk with us, don&#039;t we. But anyway, it&#039;s human nature to want to be celebrated on Mother&#039;s day, don&#039;t be too hard on yourself. It&#039;s not bratty.....AT ALL!!! Our minds can fantastize about the wonderful breakfast they&#039;re going to make us, the gorgeous flower arrangement, the neck and shoulder massage while the baby is napping, the fun time together in the park and of course that splendid Pandora&#039;s charm bracelet. Ha ha ha! It gets bratty when there&#039;s no breakfast, a dandelion from the yard, no massage because he&#039;s too busy watching t.v., no park because the baby is sick and a gift? Not even a thought. And you get into a fight because you deserve better, he should have known all about what you wanted, blah, blah, blah. I said all of that (haha) to say.....go easy on yourself girl.

Sorry about the food fiascos. Sometimes people aren&#039;t meant to cook. Sometimes it&#039;s trial and error. 

Man, I&#039;ve talked up a storm here this week. Sorry! Over and out. Goodbye!

Oh, Wait. One more thing. Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Mother&#039;s day and ALL! It&#039;s your first! Hey Tobin.....it&#039;s her first Mother&#039;s day.....please don&#039;t allow it to go unnoticed. Ok. I&#039;m done!

HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey--I thought the purple scones were quite tasty!  I make a lot of food that falls in the &quot;looks bad-tastes good&quot; category--so when you need someone to evaluate food objectively just on taste, I&#039;m your girl.  Keep on baking!
