It's been a long day. Having your loved one in hospital, even for a simple procedure, is stressful. My son has been in considerable pain for awhile now, so hopefully this will give him the relief he needs. He came through the procedure very well and is doing fine, although he has post-surgical pain, of course. Tonight I offer up a prayer for his speedy recovery, and ask you, please, to do the same. Thank you!

So, I found a cute picture online and made a meme. Hope no one gets mad at me for it! (Nah, it's cute, I promise.) But, seriously--can I get in trouble for that? Because I really doubt that the memes that are already out there were made from people's own pictures...

And honestly, who hasn't felt this way about getting their pictures taken? (Cute baby, huh? Love her!)

It was a pretty nice day today, actually got into the 60's for the first time in awhile. Someone needs to give Mother Nature a nudge--she's forgotten it's May. We've had snow and rain and wind and cold this past week, and my bones are saying "Enough is enough!" So ready for some warmer weather.

(I'll be complaining about dry, hot weather soon enough, don't worry.)

I was revising a resume today, and had someone watching over my shoulder. I can't type worth a ding-dang in the first place, and I'm even worse if someone is watching me! Please don't be offended that I asked you not to watch--just laugh at me from a little distance, por favor! Ha ha!

Did anyone out there have a teacher who used to stand right behind you as you were trying to work? I  liked most of my teachers (actually, I guess I liked them all, because I couldn't name one I didn't like if someone asked) but that little stunt always drove me crazy. I would just stop whatever I was doing and turn around and stare at them until they left. I certainly couldn't have completed anything with them there, that's for sure! 

I guess some things never change--except I never had the nerve to just say "Please don't watch over my shoulder," to my teachers! Thank goodness I can say it to family! *grin*

Speaking of teachers and the little things they did, I just remembered one of my dear teachers, Mrs. Fox, and her uncanny ability to discern the presence of chewing gum, regardless of how sneakily one might chew it. She'd come and stand next to my desk and hold out her hand--never said a word, just waited there, palm up, until I deposited my gum therein. 

Ugh! She was a tough cookie, that lady. I could never let anyone else's germ-infested chewing gum touch my lily-white hands! *giggle*  

Yeah, right. I raised four kids--there's probably nothing I haven't had to touch at one time or another. 

Still...ugh! Someone else's gum! Yucky!

I think I might make an early night of it. I've been up since 5:00 a.m., which is about an hour later than my usual bedtime! I made myself go to bed before midnight last night and managed to sleep a bit before getting ready for my son's trip to the hospital this morning. Maybe I can do it again!

So, goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight! Voe doe dee doe doe...
