Parties

 

Good Morning,

To all the Moms in all the ways someone can be a mom, Happy Mother's Day. 

You guys, I had a great night last night.

I literally never go out at night anymore and so this was something different. My daughter had a birthday party out at her mother inlaw's place, where she and her husband live.

My son inlaw grilled hot dogs and there was fruit and potato salad and pasta salad and chips and dip and all that good stuff.

There was music. 

And it was...marvelous.

My sister came out to, she picked my youngest and I up and we all went together.

I can't even tell you how much fun it was. My son inlaw's mom? So obviously I've met her before and we talked but last night, my sister and I got to know her better and she is so beautiful and funny and has a great laugh and the three of us? I'm sorry, we were the life of the party. We were trying to school these "kids" on how to party. We were dancing and laughing and I just can't tell you how much I needed a carefree, fun night like that.

It's one not to forget.

I've always been more fun sober. I'm obnoxious when I drink, or I want to leave and go on to the next thing or I get all Debbie Downer. No one was drunk. It didn't bother me at all that I wasn't drinking, it rarely does. 

I'm just better sober.

And I had fun. 

I think everyone there had a good time. There was a bonfire and it kept us warm as the sun set. The property is gorgeous, it's off a really large pond and there are swans and my sister and I saw what we think was most likely a beaver, we saw some large birds settling in across the water...eagles maybe? The moon is almost full and was shining brightly down on us.

I needed that. It made me realize how much of my life is spent inside...not really doing to much of anything but sitting there thinking about all I want to be doing...oh Denise.

I have no plans for Mother's Day. My youngest works at 11:30 and she said she'd like to do something when she's done working.

I think I might see my birthday girl today at some point.

When they grow up, you have to share them with everyone else.

It's their day too, my kids, because they made it possible for me to be a mom.

The full moon approaching is affecting me. I've been crying all morning. My mom called me early this morning and we chatted but I got off the phone and man...cry, cry, cry.

Even when I'm happy, I cry.

But...the sun is out today too. It's gorgeous out.

So, let's get on with it. One great night under my belt this weekend and hopefully, a great day today.

I hope you enjoy yours.

Be Blessed.

Love & Light,

Neecie
