Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I'm so sorry you had such a painful night, wishing your mom was there. That breaks my heart and I totally, completely understand it. The loss was smothering you right then and I know those gut-wrenching sobs. I'm so very, very sorry. I can imagine how much worse your head had to feel because it's like an anvil to the side of your head from the pressure. I hope you were able to go into a deep slumber somehow, but I know those are pipe dreams more often than not. I haven't slept in several weeks because I was taking care of our sweet pup during the night, and last night it was so still and quiet in the house I was wide awake. I didn't know what to do with myself with not being on high alert. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteNo weekend plans other than taking care of some hard stuff, working a bit tomorrow, and probably doing mindless, detached grief cleaning in that weird robotic way. I hope you guys can get through the stairs project relatively unscathed and you don't have the same aggravations as this whole week has been. DIY fairy indeed...wouldn't that be great! Come take all my junk, paint the walls, put in new flooring and countertops, and we're good to go. That's not asking too much (oh, and the big light fixtures I've had sitting in the kitchen for two years...that's be swell, too). =o)
Yeah it's been a week and I'm really sorry to hear about our friend going through that pain of losing a pet family member. Prayers go out to them for sure! Try to have a good weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteHome renovation is a nightmare. Been through it recently. Finally completed the work on the upstairs. Some interesting reading. As one who had no children I am often asked why not? Is something wrong with you? Unreal in this day and age! Maybe if those under 49 want our homes some kindness would help. After all it isn't like we have anyone to leave it to.😃 . Hope your weekend improves.
