Hi kiddo!  Sure hope today is bein' good to you!!  Things are going good here, just in a whole lotta pain today. Don't know what's kicked it into high gear, but it can let it rest anytime as far as I'm concerned.  Am doing my best to keep focused on other stuff and not let it get to me though.  In about a ½ hour I'm going to leave to go to a birthday party for a little 3 yr. old dude that owns a piece of my heart.  He's the son of the maint. super. here at this complex and one of the ladies that lives here babysits him.  He is 3 yrs. old today and he's quite a ball of energy.  Very intelligent too.  All of his brothers and sisters are either in high school or college so he's grown up with no baby talk or other stuff that's sometimes hard for little ones to master.  He's the apple of everyones eye that lives here.  He likes riding around in my lap when I'm using my power chair.  I've promised him a ride to his birthday paty in it today.  LOL!!  I just hope he sits really still this time.  Otherwise I'm gonna be hurtin' big time while he's in my lap, but I can't disappoint the little sweetie pie.  He's just a little darlin'.  One time when my legs were killin' me his babysitter and I were talking about the medications I have to help deal with some of the pain and he figured out that my legs were hurting and he came over and kissed each of my knees and said "OK brammaw Moker!  Now they're all better!"  Little chit made me cry.  Then we had to try and make him understand why I was crying because he thought he had hurt me.  Soooo, how's your day goin' anyway?  You're probably sewing up a storm by now.  LOL!!  I was in Wal-Mart a few days ago and picked-up 5 different pieces of tropical print cotton that I'm going to make some sun dresses with.  They're really lush, tropical prints so they will look nice.  I've got a pattern that I made for sundresses several years ago.  I just keep changing it a little bit each time...LOL!  I think a couple of them I'm going to fix them so that they look more like long cotton blouses -- with a nice collar and buttons down the front.  That way I would have a couple of comfy cotton dresses to go out in too.  When the temps get into the 100's and above, everybody wear's cotton because it's the most comfy in that kind of heat.  The rest of them I'll probably just make them pull over sun dresses with the small shoulder straps and a flouncy-trouncy effect to them.  That way the breeze will flow through them and help keep me cooler.  I may just open up my sewing machine and put one together after I get home from Morgan's birthday party.  They only take about an hour to put together.  I'm going to buy some lightweight seersucker too and make myself a few pair of capri pants and blouses too.  It's close to the time of year out here where you want to wear as little a possible.  LOL!  During the intense heat each summer out here we're usually either in sun dresses or our swimsuits!  It's just too hot to wear much else.   My son and his girlfriend came by for a short visit last night.  It was good to see them again and I sure wish they could have stayed a little bit longer, but she needed to get home so she could get to bed because she had to go into work early this morning.  We had a good time while they were here though.  I baked up some pizza rolls and we just kinda sat around eating pizza rolls and talking about the house they're planning on building in 3-4 yrs. from now.  They'll have their property paid off by then and will be able to afford to build then without getting to deep into debt.  They're planning on getting married in about 1½ yrs. and live in an apartment until the house is built.  Then they will start thinking about starting a family.  They're determined to build a small cabin for me on the back 5 acres of the property they've bought.  It would be soooo wonderful to have my own little place out in the country again.  I've been trying to save every last nickel and dime I can so that I can help them out because I know it's far from cheap to build homes nowadays.  They keep telling me that they won't accept any money from me, but that won't stop me from just taking it to the bank and having a banker apply it to there loan...LOL!!  (sneaky mom here). Well, I suppose I'd best get my power chair out, go get Morgan and head to his birthday party.  You take care today, ok?  Will be back later. Love youzzz, Moki
