Blue Afternoon

I'm having a blue afternoon....Don't know why. We had Church at the Nursing home today. I was fine, I love the people and they love me. It started this afternoon when I had to start supper. Maybe that's it. I'm tired of trying to come up with ideas for meals...Maybe it was because I read Flip Flop's blog.The fun time she was having with family,or that my best friend and her hubby just left for Chicago and other places. I'm glad these friends are all taking trips,just wish we were taking one too. I really want to take a trip with Mike. We haven't had any get-a-ways since he came home from Iraq. He's always working or mowing. I worry about my sister,she hasn't started getting her FLMA checks yet.She's single, no other money coming in. I worry about my kids. Both of Joe's ( my Son) cars are down,I can't help them they live to far away. Being like his Dad he'll never pay over 1000.00 for a car....LOL these days. He just keep putting money into the old ones...He has a good job,nice home that is paid for,has money in the bank,girls have College fund and he is as tight as the bark on a tree...I think he's got the first dollar he ever made.Unlike his mother who is broke always. I guess I should be proud of both he and my daughter are very good with money.( Where their mother would give her last dollar away if you needed it ) I know they live in a small town and my DIL likes to walk....I think it's because I want better for her than I had it....I was either walking or trying to fix a car myself when my kids were young..My Ex had a ride to work,he didn't need the car. So this Old Mom just worries....and worries some more. Am I weird to worry, my kids are 44 & 38.


P.S. This morning I learned a classmate & friend of mine,got word her Cancer is back. There are some days I just feel like running away.....and if gas weren't so high I'd do just that....

Sweetie, you are not weird at all, just a loving mom with a precious heart. Saying a prayer for you, asking God to take your blues away.

Oh, Glo, I hope you are more upbeat today. We all get the blues at times, when things seem to be going wrong. And no matter how old our kids get, we will always worry about them. And I am sorry your friends cancer is back. I know you'll be praying on her behalf.

Even at the bluest of times, just count your blessings, and let God take care of the problems.

Love and Prayers,

Renie
