Sunday, May 14, 2006

My Mother's Day was very nice. Went out to breakfast... all the kids including the dog jumped on the bed to wake me up. Received a few nice things. Was sweet. Nicole has turned into one hell of an adult. Has a great sense of family and what is right. Is taking care of her health BIG TIME now. Makes me proud every day.

Spent some time with my Mom today. She is getting so tired these days. I need to try and visit her more. I just have to MAKE the time in my schedule for it. She is so lonely by herself. I wish I had a house with an extra room or an inlaw apartment on it for her. I know she would love to be with me at my house. She has told me that. I just don't have a room for her. Wish I could do it and afford to take care of her too.

I missed Melissa today. She was gone most of the day at work. She probably didn't even think twice about me the whole day. I miss her laugh, I miss her sense of humor and I miss hanging out with her. (sigh) When she went to sleep tonight, she didn't even say good night. I knocked on her door to hug her and say thanks for the gift she and her sister gave me and give her a kiss and a hug... she acted like it was the strangest thing in the world that I would do that. That kind of affection used to come so easy from her. Ah well. (sighs again) She has a "just biding my time til I can leave" attitude about life lately. Like I said, I miss her and pretty frequently the thought makes me cry.

Well, I need some sleep. Good night to anyone who reads this
