Why Do I Start My Day This Way?

I hate it when I get up in the morning being an emotional wreck.... and have no reason for it ... that I know of any way... maybe it is old age setting in....I got on line to read two of my niece's blogs ... one that her daughter's Sarah was going into High School come September and realized that there is so much of this young girl's life I have missed because they live away.... of course the tears started up then... Then the second blog of Monique's was about her mom Yvette and the changes that has come about with her from her trip with Danie to Houston... tears restarted to see how much of a wonderful time she was having with her girls... and then I realized that I am without two of my sisters... for some time now... hmmm should I dare say that I am missing them very much this morning...

I have been very lucky to be the youngest sister of this family because my two older sisters have been great friends to me and having them close by has been a blessing that I guess I have not said to them ever much... Yvette it seems to be gone for ever with her travelling in the last several weeks .. and Pat headed out on Sunday for summer camp for three weeks or so... with both of them gone there is a void in my life... no one to pick up and call and talk to ... make my life more understandable when things are not just going right here... just having a talk about nothing but laughing about it... just being there... so this message is to them... get your butts back here soon... you two have become a bad habit I can't break.... he he

It had been calling for rain for the whole week but something happened...the wind changed and the sun actually came out yesterday which put some kind of step into Carl... because he has been out working in the yard since yesterday morning... trimming everything in site... mowing the lawn... cleaning up... I actually got out yesterday afternoon to get some watering of the potted plants done... the deer flies are out like crazy by the way...I got part of the oat tree trimmed so we can mow under it.... and people that was driving by on their way home from work must of thought I was a bloody nut watering the veggie garden but in truth I was miracle growing it... and this morning I got up to Carl out once again... but this time he is working on the mower since something was making it sound really funny last night... maybe it was telling him it was time to stop ....this morning if I can get the tears in check and get my lazy backside out of this house... I am going to attack the Forsythia .... try to put some shape into it since it is really looking very sad at the moment.. actually Rebecca mentioned that it was very scary looking at night... maybe I should have done it sometime ago.... but better late then never...

Besides that I make sure I spent at least two hours of my day with the knitting needles ... I just finished up my three blanket for our Bean and started a 4th on last night... in between that I am making some booties carrying needles and yarn with me every where I go so if I have a moment a row or two can be done...

Well I should go make something for breakfast I see Carl is out of the garage and I know he has not taken the time to eat yet... a trip up to mom and dad's today is called for... one of the plants fell yesterday and I need to replant it...

Have a great one all... Joanne
