My DS was here yesterday, and raring to go! He wanted to get to this, or that, and woo hoo! wow! he has my old pep. He sat down beside me on the couch while I was putting on my shoes, and said "you ok mom?" I smiled and said "sure! why?" and he said "dunno, its like you dont have that zip that I expect." Too funny that he would bring that up. I explained to him that I have just slowed down a bit, but have no fear, I am the same fun mom that he knows. He made a funny face, and got up to chase the cats.

I am off to no less than 3 picnics today. There are so many folks that are anxious to see us, and these 3 will give us the highlights, and hit the most folks. it was only supposed to be 2, but the son announced he is asking his g/f to marry him at their picnic today, and he would wait for me to come before asking.

I spent yesterday in the very slow lane to save as much energy as I could for today. I have my stay cool kit of a frozen wash cloth, frozen bottles of water, a change of clothes, and shoes in case I want to dunk myself. I just worry that all these folks are going to see that the old Dejibo is shuffling along and not up to speed. I hate that sympathetic head nod they do. Tilt their head to the side, and say "how ya doing hun?" GRRRR! DONT tilt your head at me! it means you feel sorry for me. its a non verbal judgement. So, I know in advance this day is gonna take a bite out of me, but I am wearing armoured undies, and I am ready for the day.

I hope you all have a great holiday.
