I’m SOOOOO excited! She’s going to come and stay with me for the third week in May - I’m totally pumped - I haven’t seen her since X-mas. I’ve been _ **REALLY** _ stressed lately and I felt like I needed some TLC - mom style, so I called her up and she’s coming! Horray! ---

Wow. I saw my mom for two days last September. Before that it had been about a year and a half. Haven’t seen Dad since July 2000. Nothing against them, but I’ve got my life and they’ve got theirs. Heck, last September when I saw Mom, it was at my brother’s wedding; while there I saw a sister I hadn’t seen in SIX YEARS. No big deal; she and I have absolutely nothing in common. ---

Humm - I’m really close with my family - we talk about twice a week on the phone, but it will be really nice to see mom in person. Dad will have to wait until I get out there in August - after he retired he decided he needed something to keep him busy so he got a job driving a school bus - he really likes it, but now he’s not retired anymore. 🙂 HORRAY! I get to see my MOM! Horray! ---

Good on you, alice! I live literally 5 minutes away from Mom. I see her _at least_ once a week. ---

My mom is possibly going to come visit me sometime around the same time as you’ll see yours…is that a coherent sentence…? Anyways, I can’t wait! And we’re moving into a new apartment in exactly one week, and if all goes well, I should have a job I like…things are looking pretty good, even though I miss home SO much! Give her a big hug! ---

Wow! I’m going to visit my daughters in MO and MN mid-May and also help my mom get ready to sell her house and move. May must be a “Mom” month. Hope you all have terrific visit with the one that loves you most! 😉
