Remember in April when I published this TO DO LIST? Well, I am happy to report that it is all done.
Well, except for the Oreo part. I am a user. Can't help myself.
Also, the part about the king-sized bed. We figured this wasn't a good time for me to try out mattresses considering every part of my body aches and I can't find a good position to lay in.
Other than that, it is finished.
OK, OK. The part about Loulabelle's baby book. I just put that on there for kicks. I really wasn't going to attempt that...yet.
But still. My list is done.
Today was the last part of the LIST. My mom and I had a massive cooking day. It started at 7 with a trip to the newest Walmarts. (Jen, it was heavenly!) We just finished cooking and cleaning at 4:30. It was such a blessing to have a helper today. I loved cooking with my mom.
It is not unusual for her to do this for me. She has always been there. As long as I can remember. If I am sick, she has food ready or she takes the kids. When I complained that my feet were too swollen she booked me a pedicure with her wonderful gal. She would do anything for her family. She has a pure servant's heart.
Mom, thank you for always being there. Thank you for how much you give to my family. I am blessed to have you in my life. I hope one day to follow in your generous footsteps as I care for my grandkids and their families.
Now I am going to kick back, heave my water-retentive legs up in the recliner and breathe. It's almost time...

Oh my goodness...how CUTE is that picture of you and your mom?!?! Love it! Good job on finishing the must do stuff on your to do list. :o)
Glad you finished your to-do list - that is always a relief. Your mom sounds like a wonderful person and your are two pretty ladies!
I'm Kellan, btw - nice to meet you. See you soon.
I am getting excited for you as I read the blog countdown. You will definately be in my prayers this week. By the way June baby's are great, mine will be 5 in about two weeks. I can't believe it, she's getting old on me.
I can't wait to be in those last few days where any day could be "the day".
I would love to hear further details on the freezing of those meals...maybe monday at gym.
What a blessing to have a wonderful mom! Isn't it such a gift...We have moms that have wonderful hearts!
You are very lucky to have a mom that is so good to you!!
Bless your sweet heart. Come over and post to win a little cloth bag. That's sure to be fun, even if it doesn't come anywhere near the joy of a backrub or a glass of cold iced tea.
Best I can do. lol
What a wonderful Mom! You are very blessed. :o)
Someday we can be that kind of mom for OUR kids! Won't that be fun!
I am so happy that you got through your list. And I can't beleive there's just a few more days!
Your sweet mom...just love her.
Also, "heave up my water retentive legs"...that is funny. It's also a memory you don't soon forget.
What a wonderful mom you have. I hope you can relax 100% until Wing-man comes home!! Can't wait to meet him in person.
What a nice tribute to your mom. What a blessing she is! Hang in there, Janelle... almost there! Praying for you.
