Alert and Oriented (x4)

The one WAYYyyyyyyyyyy up in the top of that tree?  The man-boy I've been missing so much for the past weeks.... Will be getting on about 3 of these Tomorrow. And in just about 15 hours I get to wrap my arms around him again.  I may just let go long enough to let Breanah hug first....but then he's mine. Rumor has it he looks a little like this now Not so much like this, which is what he looked like when he stepped onto that first plane: I don't think I'll care.  I just want to smell his head.  He's still one of my babies, you know..... By this time tomorrow we'll be replete with momma's homemade chicken fried steak, mashed potatos and gravy, green beans and Sister Shubert's rolls....unless he wants something else for supper.  Cuz tomorrow it's all about him.

I just got back from spending a week with 44 of the most incredible students and leaders on the planet. And then after making a shameless plea on facebook, got an invitation to the best Independence Day bbq with some friends, old and new.  We had an great time, and among other things too plentiful, delicious and fattening to mention, partook of this: (and yes, that is a brand, spanking new pedicure peeking out at the bottom, thank you very much.). I am a very blessed woman.
