{Special} Weekend

This past weekend was pretty good minus a few minor things. I got to do my FAVORITE hobby on Saturday with the hubs & Chloe-bug....and can I say "WE SCORED", we found community neighborhood sales one, right after another....Got some cool pieces...and Chloe did get another ride to add to her convoy of motorized vehicles....was just too cute pass up....
Sunday was really nice. Chloe, only 3 years old really put alot of thought into Mother's Day ( so wished I would have had a video camera rolling). She had gotten a plastic bag from Walmart and put her 'masterpieces' she had painted and drew for me and had it all tied up. I had heard her on Saturday night saying that she needed to hide a "surprise" in my Mothers Day card, either candy or make-up...*Too cute** Sunday as I read my cards from James and Chloe, I had tears of knowing how blessed I am....I got a nice new beach chair for our upcoming vacation, but the words expressed, as my hubby that never writes or says alot of mushy things, wrote a whole card full...and the tenderness of Chloe being sooooo...excited about her gifts ( she made a cute handprint butterfly @ school & a very cute & chic zebra-print flower pin)just meant so much...
Our whole sermon at church was about "MOTHERS" and what is says in the Bible about Christian mothers.....Later having lunch and supper with my extended families and celebrating the Wonderful day with my grandparents (both sets) meant sooooo very much to me....
So all-around Blessed Weekend..................................... :)

1} Chloe's Allergy Dr. -

Chloe has had breathing problems since she was about 6 weeks old. I was terrified when they 1st gave me a breathing machine to use on my little 6 lb. bundle of joy....I remember crying & crying. Breathing treatments were a natural around our house....we could only go a few days without doing them, countless nights of being up with a sick baby. I remember feeling so helpless! Finally about a year or so ago one of my friends from church mentioned her daughter having similar symptoms and how she took her the an allergy Dr. and now she is on the mend. I felt a lightbulb go off....worth a shot. I made Chloe an appt. with Dr.Maloney at NEGA Asthma & Allergy clinic ( very kid friendly & LOVE them).

Chloe was put on Singular 4mg. I didn't notice a difference at first, but after a few weeks I could tell of the in improvement. Rarely do we have to use any breathing treatments if she gets a really bad cold, but her last appt. there they gave her an aerochamber with an inhaler...instead of the machine, so much faster, easier. I am soooo....Totally Thankful to Jesus for leading us to this type Dr., truely an answered prayer.....


2} My Mom, Mama, Mother....FRIEND -

My Mom is such an Awesome supporter, confidone, caring, loving person that I am soooo...Thankful to call MY Mom!! I Love spending time with my Mom, we like to do alot of the same things....work in our flower gardens, crafts etc. She is a wonderful Christian example of what a Christian Mom is to be, she is always reading her Bible and is a faithful member at our local church, teaching the same 4 & 5 year old Sunday School class for the last 30+ years....

My Mom is strong as well, she has battled cancer a few years back, had surgery & took radiation....It was a very trying time in our family, but my Mom held her head high and ALWAYS looked to God for strength to overcome....
She is a Super Grandma (Nana) to Chloe as well...Chloe thinks the world of her "Nana" and am so glad at the example Chloe sees in My Mom....I could go on & on....Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be so forever blessed by such an Outstanding MOM!!!!!!!!

My new kick is planting hosta everywhere, a nice green plant that is very tolerable of different weather conditions. Greenery to my flower garden is a nice fill-in, with beautiful decorative foliage....Thanks to my husband for helping dig the holes for them....

Perfect WEEKEND....Extra $$$$ and all....& a touch of OCD....

This weekend was Beautiful....I did the much-dreaded task of having a Garage sale for 2 days....Friday & Saturday. I've been dragging out stuff for over 1 week, garage packed out....I usually try to have 1 per year just to clean out junk and to make some extra $$$ for vacation or home improvements.

Friday was great!!! I had tons of people, constantly stopping, Saturday wasn't as great but still pretty darn good for only working a couple of hours....I pretty much made enough to pay for our part of the beach house we are renting, so now just food money and gas money needed.

The weather was WONDERFUL.....I soaked up some rays, I absolutely LOVE sun-bathing ( know the negative effects, but it feels so good and I usually always have low Vitamin D, and that is one thing that helps with it). I got me a pretty good tan and Chloe did as well....Getting prepared for the beach!!

We did some much needed yard work as well....I am truely addicted to doing yardwork...another case that my OCD gets credit...house work inside, yard work outside...I'm constantly cutting grass, trimming scrubs, pulling weeds etc. Soooo..I pulled the lawnmower out again Friday, (2nd time in 1 week)...Have to admit I get a "big-head" on the compliments of how well the yard & my flower gardens look, I had numerous compliments on Fri&Sat. guess I did catch the "Green Thumb" that my Mom, Grandma & Great-Grandma had......It's in our Blood!!!!
