Happy Mother's Day!!
To Start off... MY mother's day has been really nice. Brian, Fernando and Emily made me a really BIG Wonderfully fabulous breakfast. Blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs and BACON!!! SO yummy-especially Emily's FUNNY BREAKFAST she made me- A PANCAKE BUILDING Complete with a blackberry chimney and door!! TOO CUTE. THe idea came from a HENRY AND MUDGE book called, "Henry and Mudge and the funny LUNCH". (They are a really cute series of books for kids!!) Brian also got me flowers!! Emily made me a cute little Flower clip magnet at school and a beautiful card. I'm the LUCKIEST Mom EVER!! I've had a really great weekend in general.... Well except for THE BLISTERS on my feet!! But that's okay... I went and saw Rosie O'Donnell in NYC in NO NO NANETTE, It was really cute and Rosie was Awesome in it. SO FUN!! I went with Danielle, We had a lot of fun.... BUT I wore New shoes and we walked a bit and I have such BAD BLISTERS on my feet. When we were in Penn Station waiting for our train.... I Had to buy FLIP FLOPS..... plastic cheap looking $25 DOLLAR FLIP FLOPS!!! At the time, I didn't care... I would have paid $50!!! The relief, THE RELIEF... It was well worth it!!! ALSO, I know this sounds a little STALKER-ISH but I was SO excited because in the LOBBY was KELLI (Rosie's Wife) and their kids... OH MY GOD!! It was really cool. I didn't say anything to her or them but it was cool becuase I feel like I know them from Rosie's BLOG. SO it was NEAT to see them in person. She's really pretty and the kids were so CUTE. IT was a really fun day!! The play was really funny, it took place in I think the 1920's or 30's! It was really clean and a little OLD fashion but in a sweet fun innocent way. REFRESHING!! Anyway, like I said it was a very FUN weekend. I'm LUCKY, TRULY LUCKY to have such blessings in my life and I NEED TO REMIND MYSELF OF THEM SOMETIMES!!! Anyway, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE... Especially My neice, in which this is her first.. PEACE PEOPLE!!

MOM......
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY MOTHER....
Margaret Bory
born Nov. 19,1949

No time to celebrate the miracle
No time to become good friends
NO time to say enough
NO time to make amends
Your life was over in a moment
Even though it took several years
Fighting it was exhausting
Trying to hide the tears
LOVE WAS ALL AROUND...
BUT TINGED IN PAIN
KNOW,THAT YOU ARE HERE STILL
In just a different way
A spirit and connection
Thought of each and everyday

An Emily Dickinson Poem
A Poem by Emily Dickinson.....
I MEASURE every grief I meet
With analytic eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
Or has an easier size.
I wonder if they bore it long,
Or did it just begin?
I could not tell the date of mine,
It feels so old a pain.
I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.
I wonder if when years have piled—
Some thousands—on the cause
Of early hurt, if such a lapse
Could give them any pause;
Or would they go on aching still
Through centuries above,
Enlightened to a larger pain
By contrast with the love.
The grieved are many, I am told;
The reason deeper lies,—
Death is but one and comes but once,
And only nails the eyes.
There ’s grief of want, and grief of cold,—
A sort they call “despair”;
There ’s banishment from native eyes,
In sight of native air.
And though I may not guess the kind
Correctly, yet to me
A piercing comfort it affords
In passing Calvary,
To note the fashions of the cross,
Of those that stand alone,
Still fascinated to presume
That some are like my own.

MY ENDORSEMENT!!!
Okay, SO I'm not a celebrity or a high power player in Washington.....BUT I am ME and I would like BARACK OBAMA to be our next president. They say that Hillary is getting the WHITE WOMAN's vote, well not from this one. I only wish I lived in NC right now!!! I really think that Barack would make a terrific president. He represents everything that is right about America. His vision of America is the vision that we all should want as citizens of this country. That the dreams that we have as young children, are available to us. That it doesn't matter what your race, or gender, or circumstances are, that you can dream big and achieve. I think he has the intellegence and the heart to be a great president. For all of those that say he isn't experienced enough----He was a Illinois Senator from 1996 and a US Senator since 2004. SO I think he has plenty of experience and also I'm reminded of an OIL Man, BASEBALL OWNER, and someone who only had 5 YEARS experience as GOVERNOR of TEXAS who became our president. By my calculations Obama has MORE experience in life and work than our current President. It is my opinion that our current President got elected unfairly, and mostly based on his relationship to his father. And remember also THIS IS THE PRESIDENT WHO DECLARED "Mission Accomplished" 5 YEARS ago in Iraq and we are still there and our brave men are fighting and dying for a war that should have never been and according to our president is ACCOMPLISHED. OUR SOLDIERS are so brave and so good and they deserve SO MUCH MORE. I respect our soldiers immensely and they have fought long enough. SO it is with GREAT PRIDE and GREAT CONFIDENCE that I ANNOUNCE I AM THROWING MY SUPPORT TO BARACK OBAMA!!! SO, IF YOU COME ACCROSS my little BLOG AND ARE STILL UNSURE..... PLEASE VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!! OH YEAH and if you're STILL not convinced that Barack has ENOUGH experience.....HOW ABOUT THIS? Intellegence TRUMPS Experience always, there are alot of experienced people out there, that are really STUPID!! :) JUST MY THOUGHTS!!!
