MOM IS HAVING SURGERY THIS WEEK!!!!

Mom was a little nervous this weekend!! She had a lot of restless energy!!So we cooked, shopped in Mt Home and had pedicures, she even came over and helped pack and IRONED all our clothes for our cruise(i cant stand to iron)

The Eagles awareness was a hit,,, mom took the tour on Bull Shoals Lake and saw a beautiful Eagle. The weather was beautiful!! a little cold but the sun was so nice!!

mom will be having surgery at brmc in Mt Home on Tuesday!! I trust that all will go well. When she comes home she will be a lady of leisure for sure,,she will have very strict restrictions for 6 weeks. can you imagine not doing anything for 6 weeks???? Carla is the one who is gonna take care of her the most,she even has her a little bell beside her bed to ring for help!! She is gonna be so spoiled!!

As a mother of a 16 year old daughter its hard to know when to hold on tight and when to allow her some space. With her being my baby its harder for me to let her grow up!! this year alone she has come to milestones in her life, driving, dating, her mother dealing with cancer. Yet she remains so steady and sure!! I find it so hard to allow her to do all the things that MOST 16 year old do..She has yet to break a promise or do anything that she shouldn't be doing.. I raised her with good christian values and I see her choose to abide by them.. Is it normal for me to worry so much about her?? I don't want to push her away or make her rebel.. Now the hardest part of all is giving her a little more freedom! I will always be here for her. She is my daughter. I pray for the guidance to know what to do. Iv always said the most important role that I have In life is being a mother, God clearly gave us instructions on raising children. I love her so much!!She is such a joy and blessing to me!! I think that part of me is not ready to share her with the world, I still want to protect her and keep her safe, this will probably never change.
I love to look at her photos and see the joy and MAGNIFICENT "spark" that she has!!

COZUMEL HERE WE COME!!

I'm very excited about a trip that we have coming up with a BIG group of our friends!!

This is a 5 day cruise full of sunshine and great friends!!We are gonna scuba dive while in Cozumel and who knows what else!! At this point were counting down the days!! Just started packing and getting everything ready, I usually take way to much stuff but a girl never knows what she might NEED!!!
