Birthdays, Anniversarys and Mother's Day
The first part of May is always a bit over the top for us as our anniversary is May 7th, my birthday is May 9th and Mother's Day is always thrown into the mix as well. This year I'm doing things I haven't done before or haven't done for a really long time. First thing is I've started this blog. I don't really know why, just seems like fun and a challenge. Next thing is I've cut my hair OFF! Yep, its shorter than I've ever worn it EVER! I've gone from being a red-head to being more of my natural deep brown with all the gray covered up of course. I'm not sure who was the most worried about cutting off my hair, me or Heather - it looks great and it's fun to have a new look. The next thing I'm doing this month is getting some rose bushes for the front yard and maybe a lilac tree or a spirea bush. Maybe not all at once but the front needs some work and I got some great new garden gloves for my birthday - Thanks mom!

We are looking for a car. My poor car has lost it's ability to back up. The boys and I went out last week to go to school and we couldn't back out of the driveway! I didn't know what I was running over but it had to be bad. Got out to look and nothing was there. Ok, what's going on? I found that I could roll back about a foot each time I tried to go in reverse so I made multiple 3 point turns and finally, actually, turned the car around in the drive and went out head first. The boys thought it was great fun since every time we were backing up, when it got as far as it would go it slammed us to a stop. I'm sure if the neighbors were watching they got quite a laugh. We have to park on the street now because we can't back anywhere. My thinking has changed to accomodate parking in a parking lot so I don't have to back, you know, just pull straight through. Ah, the joys of life. I'm thankful it still is getting us where we need to be.

Mother's Day tomorrow. Wonder what that will bring?
