Today Is My Son's Brithday

Well today is my son John's 24th birthday.  It seems as though only yesterday he was born.

I called him this morning as soon as I got up.  He was up already because he was working early this morning.  I sang him Happy Birthday over the phone.  And I can imagine the rolling of the eyes.  BUT I srill sang in my off keyed voice.  He told me that his girldfriend and I were the only ones who wished him Happy Birthday.  (He lives with his father along with his sister and brother...he will be moving soon though).  I got tears in my eyes because that made me feel so sad inside.  Of course I would never forget his birthday..I am his mom  and hell I was there 24 years ago today.

After I hung up with him I called randomly till his birth hour was here and reminded him it was his birthday and I was (this many minutes) till he was born.

On one of my random calls he asked me what I was doing today.  It was my day off from work.  He said he had to come out my way (he lives a little distance from me), to pick something up for his father.  He asked me if I wanted to do lunch with him and Jamie (his girlfriend).  I told him I couldn't becauase I didn't have any money.  But I told him to come over anyway. 

Well quite a while went by and I didn't think he was coming over...that happens many times they say they are coming and there is no show.  So I took a nap on the couch.  And about 3:10 he knocked on the door. 7 minutes before he was born!...It was the first time since he moved out that I could share is BIRTH DAY with him.  I was so very happy!

We (John, Jamie and I) sat in the kitchen at the table and chatted for about an hour.  I was such a good afternoon.

I love my son with all my heart.  I almost lost him when he was 3 weeks old. He had meningitis.  He is my oldest and middle child.  He has such a talent in music,  He plays the guitar, and keyboard.  He writes some of his own music.  I love him so much...I think I said that already.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!~LOVE MOM

My Flickr Account

Well my new Flickr account is going pretty good.  I love going there and posting photos (of course most of them are about my ferrets.  I love seeing views and comments.  I have had quite a few views and not a lot of comments but enough that makes me feel good that people take the time to share their thoughts.  I love to hear what they have to say and it makes me feel good inside.  So attached is a link so you can go there and take a peek also.  Have a great day!

P.S.  at the bottom of my blog there is a link to get there....

Flickr

Well I started something new on the internet 3 days ago.  I got a Flickr account so I could post my photos of my ferrets.  It is amazing that people ACTUALLY leave comments on photos.  Unlike this blogger...I think I am doing something wrong, I must be.  Since I have had this blog only 1 person has left me a comment and that is someone I know.  I have to try to do something different.
