Sheeps
It’s the insomnia sheep…. never failing to show up when you should be sleeping and have stuff you REALLY ought to be thinking about and/or doing…. try counting insomnia sheep, Randie, although I doubt it’ll help.
As a side note, MY Mom’s birthday is Randie’s Mom’s birthday… (so as to keep things straight) and two weeks later is Mom’s Day. It’s Mom Celebration time!!! (which is really all the time!)
I have work tomorrow and here it is, 00:30. Baaaaaaaaa
Not to be a downer, but a PSA for all of you:
Call your mother. Seriously.
Some of us have lost them way too soon, I did not reach my 30th birthday before mine was taken by cancer. I would give anything to still be able to call her up and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day.
Years ago I sheared the sheep, then had them “magically changed” into mutton, which I then sold for a bottle of Tylenol PM.
I sleep quite well at night. (Especially after a 2 mile walk or a one kilometer swim!) 🙂
Oh, and GreyWolf is absolutely right… stay close to Mom. When I was 23, my mom died from alcoholism at age 46. She was able to see our wedding, but none of our five sons. And they of course never met her. A wonderful mother when sober, and I miss her.
Shelby…Dang elusive sleep!
I have a fond “Sesame St. moment” (I have lots of those)… where Ernie is trying to sleep and counts sheep… keeping Burt awake. I think that’s where the “Insomnia Sheep” come from.
Grey & Pete… Thank you for your Mom PSI. Very much agreed. I still have my mom, but I lost my Dad six years ago. Don’t miss opportunities to talk, converse, thank, love or just be with your parentals. They could get struck by a bus tomorrow… or YOU could encounter the bus! This goes the same for spouses, friends, kids, siblings…etc.
… and my condolences fellas.
Pete… I love me some lambie skewers! I feel guilty when I eat them… but I feel the same way about ducks… why do they have to taste so yummy?!
My Mom’s birthday is May 19, so also very close to Mother’s Day. I’m with you, however… every day is worth celebrating my mom! She’s amazing. She has sacrificed endlessly for us, including being a wall between us and Dad until she was strong enough to leave him. She is a survivor, a great cook, and a better mom than she gives herself credit for.
I love when you have the guilt sheep, but I always feel bad for poor Randie!
TLK… Every day IS worth celebrating your mother… we just added a new mom to the family… after 36 hours of labor. Somehow, I’m not sure that baby will appreciate that act of love until much later. These sorts of acts continue… as evidenced by your mom and your situation. Hug yer Mom, y’all.
