Happy Mother’s Day

I talk about my momma allllllllllllllllllllllll the time.  I love that lady and I’m not afraid or ashamed to say it.  We’ve had some rough times when I was younger but she’s been my bff for the past 18 years.  I honor her today and to do so I’m borrowing some of the lyrics from a lyrical master — Mr. Tupac Shakur.  While his life circumstances don’t apply to me there are some of the things he experienced with his momma that all of us with good mommas did.

There’s no way I can pay you back
But the plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Lady…
Don’t cha know I love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated
Don’t cha know I love ya?

[…]

Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me

[…]

[…] cause through the drama
I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I’m hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there’s no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me

[…]I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel

[…]

And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me

And there’s no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Dear Momma ~ Tupac Shakur

Happy Mother’s Day “Kathey”.  My heart is overwhelmed with love for you!

And Happy Mother’s Day to all my mommy readers!  Cheers for a wonderful day for each of you!

19/52

I can’t believe the year is flying by so quickly.  We’re already moving out of the nineteenth week of 2013!  In the words of Frank Barone — “geezahlou”  :D

This week was another interesting one, but I’m seeing the light and I can’t wait to move through this tunnel!  Tomorrow’s “Spa Day” (yes, I give myself one of these every month), so I’m going to get to this week’s blessings, lessons, reasons for gratitude and gifts since I wouldn’t have a lot of time to be online tomorrow.

  • Being able to rest well was amazing for me this week.  I didn’t do any crafting at all.  My sweater is at the same place it was this time last week but I’m hoping to add some more to it this weekend.
  • Happy days are here again.  I just had a skein winding jamboree in preparation of casting on the rest of the W.I.Ps (works in progress for you non-knitters/crocheters  :P )  I want to work on for the next two months.  I was grateful that I’m growing in the skills that I’ve learned and it was something to wind yarn that I dyed.  Never expected that I would be here.   Experiencing this was a reminder that we really shouldn’t put limits on what we can achieve.

  • A summer dress from Target for the ridiculously low price of $6.26!  I was not going to leave that.
  • Being able to treat a co-worker to lunch.
  • Being able to stop myself from impulse yarn shopping after a crazy morning at work yesterday.

I hope you all are having a great start to your weekend and cheers for a great upcoming week.
