PRESENT

Back at home and the weather is beautiful. Trying to really work out for we leave on our cruise on the 28Th of this month. It will so nice to have Jenni, Jeff, Alex,Bobby, Greg and I all together enjoying the Caribbean. We have all had a tough year of dealing with our emotions and uncertainty. When I get back I will probably start packing for the move. I think I am going to give St. Louis a try regardless were Bobby may be playing. I love my family and I don't think I could bear living another year alone. Mike will always be with me were ever I chose to live.

Loved being back in St. Louis. Bobby skated hard this week, the compition was tough. There were a lot of great players out there this weekend. Now it's a waiting game. He did his best and that makes me proud. I am praying he does make this team, other wise he will probably go back to Canada. I would really like our family back together. I am in Greenville now. I had a nice visit with Mike's mom and in bed playing phone scrabble with Alex. Bobby and I are going to visit Mikes grave site tomorrow. That will be bitter sweet. It's just not the same anymore.

PRESENT

Up and getting ready to leave today. We don't leave until 6:30 pm so it gives me time to work out and take care of the last minute things I need to take care of. My daughter Alex just called to let me know she thinks she has strep throat. We need to stay clear of her until she gets better. I hate packing, because I am never sure what clothes to take. I think it is suppose to rain all week, but you never know. Bobby has to haul his hockey equipment and sticks thank god we're flying Southwest. Bags fly free. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. It will be a crunch but I will do my best. I get my lab results back today from my doctors appointment. They think my Thyroid might be a little off. He said it could be from the radiation in that area. I hope so because I keep gaining weight and medicine would control that. It is scary when you work out everyday and your jeans keep getting tighter. That is just not acceptable for any women. It also makes my packing harder. Time to run, have a great day.

PRESENT

I had my Doctors appointment yesterday and treatment. The nurses there are so nice. Thank God or I would really dread going. They always inquire about my whole family, wanting to make sure my kids are doing well. I noticed a women having treatment. I was so touched how her family rallied around her. Her sons looked to be 20 years old, they were there. One was talking to her and the other one was rubbing her shoulders. They all were smiling and joking. That is the best way to travel through this journey. Another young boy was covered in confetti he had just finished his course of Chemo. To young to be going through cancer, but he has good prognosis. Alex my daughter is finishing up her college finals this week and Bobby finished last week. That is a relief. I'm looking forward to leaving for St. Louis tomorrow. I hope I will be able to see all the people I would like to see, but it might be very hard. 5 days isn't very long. well I am off to work out, got to run.

Good morning to all the Mothers getting up and wondering were is my breakfast in bed? I am drinking my coffee quickly so I can get my walk in. Today is suppose to be 95 degrees. If you get going early it won't be to bad. I will call my Mom on my walk so I can talk to her for a while. She has a lot of people visiting right now and I'm sure she is busy. It has been really beautiful here in Arizona so I know the cool weather is going to change soon. My neighbor is so sweet, he has been working on my upstairs air conditioner for the last two days. That's what I call a good neighbor. Yesterday I went with Melinda (my friends) brother Glen to watch the Kentucky Derby. We went to a off track betting place to watch. It was fun but neither one of us won on any of the races. Betting is just not my thing. Mike would have said to me "Jeanette you think you would have learned by now!' Unfortunately I don't. It was fun anyway. Bobby and I are going to go to the movies today. He left a very dear Mothers Day card on the counter for me this morning. Ladies have a great day too.

PRESENT

Love having my friends over. My girlfriend Mimi came in from California with her husband Doug. I love cooking and we ate and had a wonderful visit. They spent the night and after a cappuccino they headed on their way back to LA. They had visited a lot of people over the past few days. I am also very excited about visiting St. Louis next week. One day I will head out to Greenville spend time with my Mother-in law. When I'm there I will go to visit Mike for the first time. That is not going to be easy, but It will be good. Hopefully Bobby will do good for his tryouts for hockey and we can move everything to St. Louis. I would love to spend more time around family.
