2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

Today is the anniversary of one of the days that I almost lost a sibling.
Today is the anniversary of a day that I would have ceased to exist.
What a tragedy it would have been for the world to loose such fine ass specimens. A line from her favorite cheeseball movie:"If the good Lord would've made anything better, he would've kept it for himself!" Which applies to all four of us, of course. We can't help it, it's in the genes.

Oh my goodness, I totally forgot what day it is! I haven't even gotten a sappy call from your mother yet. I feel crappy, migrane yesterday and today. Probably because I have been working late and staying up late in the Christmas crunch trying to get everything done. So that is my excuse for this post making me teary eyed. Wish you were home already. This MIGHT mean I have to come to the city sunday night despite work the next day.

Not only am I your MOTHER, but I am also the MOTHER of three other children, No SAPPY calls here. Guess WHO??

that day will be as real to me as the day it happened for the rest of my life. i hope that there are none like it ever again or the few months that followed it either.

But now...let me sappy. It was and remains the worst day of my life, the next worst day was 6-20-2002, If any one of you ever leaves me for the grave, you might as well put in with you. Don't think I could take the death of a child and survive myself. Thank God, for His help in her healing!

"Every dog has his day and good dogs have two!" The movie is Cadence.

Mouthfun? But I haven't even started posting about the online dating yet!

Sisters, your mother is going to have to lighten up. And suprise! I had a migraine all night and all day. Almost had a yak attack in my beans at lunch. Can we please stop sharing these?

Mother, no Jesus talk. It's the holidays for chrissakes. And it kinda defeats the purpose of saying "guess who?" when you tell us exactly who you are, woman!

Jadiebug, we miss you too. We'll toast you when we do our traditional celebrating next week.
