Still under the weather, but slowly getting back to normal. Today is the last day I will have Tyshonda to babysit, so I'd better be ready to take over tomorrow. I did recover enough to help India plant the marigold she grew from seed at school (M is for marigold). She is so excited and plans to water it and love it to oblivion, I'm sure. It's very cute how motherly she feels towards this flower, and a lot of fun to watch. It's also a skill I hope to nurture; with over 3 acres of ground we have plenty of plants to tend to, and I will need lots of help as these girls grow!

I'm hoping to start having some energy again. We have a very full weekend and I want to enjoy it after so many days of feeling miserable! Friday is the first meeting of the "Friday Night Club". The Shore is such a small area that most of my friends get their hair cut at the same salon, and the owner is about my age. She likes our little group, and has offered to close the salon for us one Friday a month for haircuts or whatever other girly stuff and we can bring FOOD AND WINE! Should be fun. Smart of the owner; she can sell a lot of expensive products to drunken stay at home moms by promising them it will make them look younger and thinner! Since I'm taking all of this medicine I won't really drink so I am the DD. Saturday there is a Birthday party for India's friend Nicole and then a grown-up party Saturday night. Sunday is Mother's Day and I am hoping we will have good weather and can head to the beach for a few hours to celebrate.
