    Gosh no - I could never be so lyrical or creative- that's Mr G's territory!

    It's the opening lines of a song by Sanford and Townsend:
    YouTube

    I used to sing it to my kids as a lullaby (and now they're singing it to the new grandbabe)

    As my MWO name suggests, in the struggle between optimism and pessimism I have a natural tendency towards the latter, so I have to keep reminding myself it's all a matter of perspective.

    There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes
    You can dig the ventilation... or you can sing the blues

    I didn't come this far to only come this far.

      Good Morning!

      Nora-thanks for the pics! So lively and cheerful!

      Liz-I am envisioning the fanfare at the firehouse and the merriment of the shower. Thank you for sharing the details with us.

      AG-so glad you are doing better...:-)

      Glassie-yes, I am studying for a class I am taking next week in my career field. It's vital to my consulting business but it requires me to do A LOT of reading beforehand.

      Waves to all! Back to the books. :-)

        Good morning all!

        Rusty, I admire your dedication. I so don't enjoy studying.

        Glassie, hiw is grand bebe? I am so excited for mine, I think I may burst! Hubby is going over today to paint the baby's furniture. It's Erin's old dresser and they are just revamping it. Dan is so busy with grad school and work and Erin can't be around the fumes. Anyway, I'm glad your back and posting!

        Nora, whatever happened with you kids apartment search?

        I've got a busy day ahead. Tonight I have an awards dinner from the hospital for 15 years of service! Dinner and dancing . I am going with another coworker of mine. Of course, the weather isn't great which is ashame because it's a beautiful venue with outdoor space. That little black dress isn't going to do much in the way of keeping me warm!

        Wishing you all a great AF Thursday.

              Hey there Steppers! Thanks for all the well wishes. Yes, Rusty, it is MADDENING. Perfect word. But, I guess, so is diabetes or chronic pain or . . . fill in the blank.

              Pauly, I've always loved your signature line. I overthink everything! Power through is right.

              Nora, you got me thinking. I'll probably start posting in the Newbies Roll Call again as that seemed to help me stay focused.

              Liz, hubs leaves a week from Saturday. He will probably return by mid-June, we never quite know for sure. I promise you will all get mighty sick of me as being the sole adult in the household will be a major trigger for me.

              Have a great Thursday! Its a great day for baseball!!! :love:

                AG - if roll call helps then go for it. I say that anything that helps, grab on and use it. :heartbeat:

                    Hope everyone has had a wonderful day.
                    Mom is not feeling well. Not sure what it is. She just tells me that she is old - she can't communicate what is wrong. Talked to my brother yesterday and we both are feeling like she is not going to be with us for much longer. :sad: Of course, we don't know that. I'm not dwelling on that, we are just enjoying every moment.
                    Kids are having no luck finding a place. I don't know which one of us is going to go insane first. :sighbubble:
                    Think I'm going to just kickback tonight. I've been sitting here staring at mom sleep and she's woken up a couple of times. I'm going to end up scaring the shit out of her when she wakes up with the crazy lady staring at her. :rotlf:

                      Glassie - I've got to listen to that. I had totally forgot about that band. Blast from the past. I remember Smoke from a Distant Fire.

                        I still have it on vinyl.

                        Records are becoming popular again here - is that happening in the states?

                          Awww... It is such an exciting time. My little one is just adorable and we already can't remember life without her.

                            So I drank last night at the party. I don't know why. I'm pretty upset, but well you know how that goes

                              Oh Liz - please don't feel bad. Did you do anything awful? If not and all you did was have a few drinks then it's all OK. And worst case - if you did do something awful then fess up, shake it off and start today as a new day. .
