Being a Mom

I hate being sick! I have been sick for about a week. I've have a sever ear infection and have been fighting a nasty cough. I guess I am kind of a weinnie when it comes to getting sick because I hate it so much.

I have not been to the gymn since last Monday ( a week ago) but I am going back today and hopefully i'll get right back where I left off. I don't plan to slack off any longer than I have to. However I have not been doing well with driving much less in good enough shape to work out.

So other than being sick things are looking up. I am looing forward to the coming holiday. Mothers day has never really been to special for me and last year was the first time I was made to feel like I finally fit in to that catagory. You see I've only been a mom for about 2 years and I have always felt that this was a part of life I was missing out on. I love celebrating the fact that I've had TWO wonderful women that have raised me and given me the best chance at life they could. But there was just this underlying feeling that I would never get the privledge of being a mom.
I guess raising a child who never got the significance of Mother's day because she grew up a Jehovah's Witness, doesn't help. And my husband is NOT the planner in our marriage. He doesn't often supprise me because I have learned to expect nothing from him,,, that way I don't get disapointed!
It took him 5 years of an 8 year marriage to figure out that it wouldn't kill him to buy me something on Valentines day!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my husband, but some men were never taught how the small things are what really counts! He is much better at it now and I am grateful that there are times durring the year when there is no holiday at all that he brings me home something he knows I like. For instance, on his route (he's a milk man) there is a doughnut shop that makes blueberry cinnamon rolls, he brings me 2 when I least expect it! I love them and he knows it so it is always a special treat!

I try to do things for him that I know he likes and this year I am going to make it a point to make Father's Day special for him. Last year she ( DD) made a bigger deal of father's day which was not to big of a deal but they have had a rough year this year and I want to encourage her to do something with her daddy.

Well my internet at home is still down so I'm at the library once again. I guess I should hop off here and do some work.
Please pray for Elise's friend with Cancer... she is receiving chemo and it is making her very Ill. also please pray that Elise will concentrate on her relationship with Chirst! There are some issues we are struggling with and I really need prayer support!
Thanks and God Bless!
