Mommy Day Care

This morning when I took my mom to her Adult Day Care, I experienced what I imagine all mother's experience when their kids go off to school for the first time.  A bit of apprehension loaded with excitment.  I loved the feeling of turning out of the parking lot and driving away with just me in the truck...

Weeeeeeee!

I did my mom's hair for her this morning.  She was always a stickler for having well kept hair; losing it was really horrible for her mentally and emotionally.  Finding her a fiber powder to sprinkle on her head atleast stops the bald shine we often see on folks who are bald.  She loves this bald fix, it works for her.  Today, she told me that I did an exceptional job, she smiled and checked herself out in the mirror for a good time before leaving for the day.

Coat on, hat resting on her hair, we went for our 5 mile drive to the nursing home where she is spending the day and will spend everyday while I work.

I am excited.  Did I tell you that?

A couple of months ago I wrote a post about writing ones obituary and creating a new movie script for the life you want to have.

I follow my own advice. 

I wrote a new movie script for my next phase of life.  I lived with the goal in mind, not thinking how I was going to get there.  Life happened around me and like dominos, everything lined up perfectly.  Everything that we want in life or have, including children, begins with a thought. 

Thoughts are real, they create our future happiness or sadness.

My new movie included having a computer job, working from home, no travel and my mom going to an Adult Day Care during the day.  In my script, I cook all meals fresh from scratch with no preservatives, real health food.  Recipes that my family enjoys, flow freely from my mind.  My mom's health is stable and she likes going to her new "club" ...  

This is all that I can tell you from my movie script, it's the stuff that is manifesting into reality.  I want my readers to know that this exercise REALLY works.  Give it a shot, you have everything to gain. 

The power of our mind holds the key to our ultimate happiness in everything, where forgiveness is easy and love rules.

I love Mommy Day Care!!!

Now what do I do?

Donna has come and gone with my mom. Off to Bingo!

My sister has a poor sense of direction and where we live is tucked away, very difficult to find, let alone find the highway to take them to the bingo hall. I gave her my cellphone to take along because I have the navigation option with the phone that I've got. It used to come in handy when I was traveling in different states for my job.

I packed them a lunch. I cooked up a few slices of turkey bacon. I prepared the Romaine Lettuce leaf so that it would roll with out breaking. Inside the lettuce wrap I put a 1/2 slice of bacon, a few shaved pieces of fine Irish Cheddar Cheese, thinly sliced red onion, a little organic mayo and a few pieces of pea sprouts.

I put everything at the light colored end of the lettuce and rolled it up like I did when I make sandwiches with Lavash wraps.

To help keep it together in the little lunch baggies, I tied a piece of green onion around the center of the wrap to keep it from unrolling.

Also in the lunch I put 2 apples and a couple of pieces of 70% cocoa chocolate that I got at Trader Joe's for 2 bucks. It's amazing chocolate that's made with beet sugar. Mmmmmmm!

Brian took his mom out for the Sunday papers. For the first time ever, I have the house to my self. It's a strange feeling to be alone. I'm so accustomed to having to be somewhere in the house helping someone (usually my mom.) Ahhh... this is nice. Quiet. Peace.

Today, even though it's raining outside, it's a sunny day for me. I've got 5 hours before my mom comes back home. Brian is taking me anywhere that I want to go today.

Wow... a date with my husband! I don't even have to think about my mom, she's with Donna. Rachel, she's fine on her own. I'll set her up with a nice lunch before we leave for the afternoon.

Today is a GREAT day! I think we'll go to the Mexican Restaurant and have a couple of nachos with those Margaretta's!
