Sunday Dinner, May 10, 2009, Emmy's Birthday Party, & Happy Mother's Day!

I'm just gonna be honest here and tell you, I'm not sure what's going down for Sunday Dinner this week. There's a lot of things that are up in the air and quite a few "if-thens" so here's how I'm going to deal with Sunday Dinner this week.

I bought a big ham last week when I bought groceries. "If" we end up having Sunday Dinner here and don't go out to eat for Mother's Day, "then" we'll be having fried ham sandwiches and whatever anybody else drags in.

Thing is, Lamar is supposed to take his mother out for Mother's Day for lunch, and Jason "may" take Jessica out for Mother's Day lunch, and my sisters aren't sure what they're doing.

How's that for a lovely package of uncertainty?

So then - tell me your plans are a lot more concrete than mine and let us all know what you're doing for Sunday Dinner this week. Just let us have it in the comments if you'd like to share your plans or your menu this week.Continuing with the subject of Mother's Day, I want to wish all you Mamas, Mommies, Mothers and Mums, and all you Nanas, Grandmas and Grandmothers a wonderful and blessed Mother's Day.

This mother and grandma thing is a wild ride sometimes, but the blessings far outweigh the curses, don't you think, ladies?

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you and miss you.

Jessie Lue Cook
June 28, 1929--April 13th, 2005Friday, May 8th was Emmy's 2nd birthday, which is almost impossible for me to comprehend, but nevertheless, it's true.

From this, just born:To this, on her 1st birthday:To the present:As you can see, there was a full house, overflowing into the yard. Between Jessica's side of the family and Jason's we had a crowd, and we may have violated some fire codes for occupancy. Parking spaces were at a premium as well and I hope none of Jessica's neighbors were too put out with us.

Sponge Bob was the theme for the party and Emmy had a big cake with Sponge Bob on it, plus cupcakes and ice cream. Emmy received a lot of nice gifts, including toys, clothes, and some cards with money in them. Emmy already knows who George Washington is, from the $1 bill, and asks for "dollars".

Of course she doesn't know what you do with dollars yet, she just thinks it's this nice green paper you can play with right now. I'm sure the concept of cash given in exchange for stuff will dawn on her soon enough.I haven't been blogging much this past week because I've been busy with life and I've also become addicted to a game on Facebook called Farmtown. Several of my blogging buddies also play so they know what I mean about being addicted to the game.

I've had to do my grocery shopping this past week, had an appointment with my dietitian for a checkup on my diabetes, and had a class at church to attend, among many other things. Hopefully I'll be able to comment more and maybe post more on the blog this coming week.

For those who've been following me in my journey with diabetes, I'm happy to report that my Hgb A1C was great this time at an even 6! That calculates to an average of 126 and my doctor was very pleased.

My cholesterol was great at 170, and my good cholesterol was on the high end, and my bad cholesterol was on the low end.

Overall, a good report, praise the Lord. Y'all have a blessed Sunday and a fabulous Mother's Day. May God meet all your needs, and may you have enough to share.
