One of THOSE Days ...

Today I had one of those plunked-on-my-chair-in-my-nightgown days. It was bound to happen -- I guess it's a "hangover" of sorts after the busy-ness and excitement of the past couple of weeks. I was just tired and achy, so I vegetated on the chair and worked on my calendar of upcoming family events. Here's an overview:

May 2 - Oncologist appointment.
May 11 - Mother's Day (no plans yet, but need to do something special for Mom and Don's mother, plus the kids will want to plan something for all of us together).
May 23 - Autumn and Lacey graduate from high school.
June 7 - Daddy's birthday, which he and I actually celebrate with Father's Day, when we make our annual trek to Ashe County, North Carolina, where I was born and much as his family still lives. It's a wonderful chance to spend time together, see people that we love, and visit one of the most beautiful places in the world.
June 13 - 15 - Autumn's performance of Alice in "Alice in Wonderland" by the Rose Center Summer Players
June 15 - Father's Day (trip to NC!).
June 21 - Don's parents celebrate their 50th anniversary. We are hosting their anniversary dinner, followed by a fellowship after the Sunday evening service at church on Sunday, June 22.
June 28 - Leave for VACATION on the Outer Banks!!!!

I'm going to need a LOT of energy for all of those things, especially if I am managing chemo side effects at the same time. It will definitely require some careful planning, strategic delegation, and maybe a small miracle or two! It will also give me so many precious opportunities to make some memories with the people that I love.

It sounds like your spring is going to be filled with love, and great family moments! Congratulations on the girls graduating :) I hope you'll post their pictures of them all dressed to the nines in their gowns. That is always a major moment in the life of any girl. And Don's parents happy 50 wonderful years together! Wow, that's a major milestone we hope you'll get to enjoy one day. No one deserves it like you two. You're right about North Carolina. I had a wonderful, but brief time there, and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We drove through a horror of a snow storm in West Virginia, then as we came out of the mountains, and into NC, we pulled into a gas station and were overjoyed to pull our coats off. Incredible how different the climate change was.

Your oncologist appointment is tomorrow, and we'll be thinking of you!

Sharon! How did you know that the Outer Banks is one of the top places that I want to vacation? I finally got to visit Maine this past summer and LOVED it! Wow! I am envious that you will be enjoying it! Where are you going?

You have quite the busy schedule. I will be sending strength your way. You have many big events with graduations and opening nights. Things that sure do make a Momma proud. Be proud Sharon...you have done "good" with your children.

Take care & enjoy life!
Sharla
