Courtney and Crew Present: Mother's Day Merriment
Today at 05:16 PM
Most Mother's Days are fairly uneventful. Maybe Wayne (known as Papa to Murphy, Tabby, and Mr. Meow) will make breakfast in bed for me. Usually he tries to get cards that they can all write a nice sentiment in. (With his help of course.) Once in a while he gets flowers.

Lyn recently wrote an article examining spouses and support. She was wondering about times when life throws us some whopper dodge balls that sting like mad because we absolutely cannot avoid getting hit by them. They're defining times.

09 May 2008 02:59 PM
The spooky incident with my neighbor's fire yesterday got me to thinking about emergency evacuation plans. Namely, how I don't have one. Which was something I'd never really considered before. Have you? Sure, I had thought about how to help Murph and the cats if I wasn't there by posting an I.C.

09 May 2008 05:55 AM

08 May 2008 07:38 PM
My mom had her stroke on Tuesday, but reflecting on it now I'm wondering if Tabby knew something was up on Monday. Ever since my mom moved here, Tabby's been her girl.
