I was very into the whole "I was in Italy, then Malta, then ...." and when I got to the part about your boy friend having a cobra my mind went to the snake, not the car. LOL Man! I was confused there for a second.<BR/><BR/>As for the why are you here? My guess is for the same reason one of our best President's mom was here; your son. <BR/><BR/>"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world."-Abe LincolnS'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-1149123789339485352006-05-31T18:03:00.000-07:002006-05-31T18:03:00.000-07:00Thank you all!

I feel so lucky to have my mom her.<BR/><BR/>suburban princess, I do think I stay calm in dangerous situations...but wish I could realize what my BIGGER PURPOSE is meant to be? And hope that I am not just over looking it because I am too busy to see my life.<BR/><BR/>rachel: thank you about my kitchen, We remodeled it a couple of years ago and I am so happy with it. Of course all the door paint is all ready knicked and I need to repaint (ALL READY)<BR/><BR/>Rita, I love you, when are you coming to visit, ah, well, I guess I need to visit you first ;)<BR/><BR/>tricia: I am telling mom to update! (I tell her once a week about that). My life seems like a muddle sometimes, but it was fun. (especially Malta)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Cin, We do and I am glad we have each now, it seems to be the most important time to be close.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Linda and debr...that is the challenge, no more photos of my eyes and top of my head to avoid the double chin ;) I just said yesterday, I feel like I am meeting myself ... and thought I might be able to pull that one off. I think about something I can do all week, ususally with no results, except the eye/top of the head ')<BR/><BR/>Les, that is a great way to look at it. I can think of that day and think, that could have been so much worse, what happened? Why me? Why not me? It is weired isn't it. Although one night when my black cocker was a puppy, he ran out the front door. I had just said to my son, gosh, Scooter is outside, when I heard the screeching of tires, went bounding down 6 stairs in one jump. I was terrified that I would be a big, bloody mess, more than that, I was afraid my son would see it! There lie Scooter, just still. I knew he was dead, then he moved. I told my son to run get a big towel and my keys, and off we went to emergency. Somehow, he was spared. I could not apologize the driver enough, she felt so terrible, but it was my fault. A black puppy lose at night. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much mayseek life, such a wonderful commentary for my post. I feel energetic NOW with your kind words.Kim Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835737810295355817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-1149102957009030682006-05-31T12:15:00.000-07:002006-05-31T12:15:00.000-07:00just when i tell myself enough of blog checking......just when i tell myself enough of blog checking....i come across your piece and the phrase "that's what i'm talking about!"(which i have no idea why i keep hearing this-i know my kids say it)comes to mind. it's getting the feeling of connection and enjoying the creativity. love the energy.mayseek lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830273864854096872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-1149092448410976912006-05-31T09:20:00.000-07:002006-05-31T09:20:00.000-07:00Such incredible stories...I got goosebumps.
