It’s Friday night, my favorite night of the week. \u00a0I love coming to a clean house (usually), with groceries to make something yummy. \u00a0I must be getting old. \u00a0I seem to want to be home more than go out, that was never \u00a0me! \u00a0I don’t mind cooking, entertaining and being with our family and friends.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, this week I have been off, with \u00a0a head cold and that makes me feel off. \u00a0I hate being sick. \u00a0Life goes on, whether you’re sick or not. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I made this tonight, put it on the porch for tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n

I am not drinking it for the flat tummy but hey, if it’s a byproduct, sweet! \u00a0 I tend to drink a lot of water during the day\u2026 and figure maybe this may make drinking water more interesting. \u00a0I love cold water\u2026 I love lemon and ginger and the smell of mint\u2026 add cucumbers, with is kind of neutral and well\u2026 this is what I get. I’ll let you know if it is any good.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that \u00a0the super crazy deep freeze has let up. \u00a0Brrr\u2026 I was getting out of the truck yesterday and almost fell right smack on my head\u2026 it was one of those moments, if caught on tape, that would be hilarious, especially since I didn’t fall, but rather grabbed the handle and fumbled, totally freaked and prepared for the fall. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0There was ice under the snow\u2026 not impressed.<\/p>\n

I was thinking of how hard it must be to be mother to your boys and then when they are older and have a lady, to let go and cut that cord. \u00a0It must be hard \u00a0but definitely necessary. \u00a0I watch as grown men still rely so much on their mama and then wonder why their lady love has issues with it.<\/p>\n

It goes both ways, doesn’t it? \u00a0Moms need to let go of their sons so they grow up and sons need to let go of that mama and grow up.<\/p>\n

I try to look ahead and see myself as mama of my older boys with their ladies. \u00a0I mean, I think it’s so important for us to have lives of our own\u2026 so we aren’t twiddling our fingers, being busy bodies. \u00a0Yes? \u00a0And yet there is a fine balance to being parents that are their for the kids, to be able to have great relations with grandkids\u2026etc.<\/p>\n

Yikes. \u00a0Where is this coming from? \u00a0Just thankful that my husband is self sufficient. \u00a0He can have relationships with his family and yet functions well as a grown man.<\/p>\n

Phew.<\/p>\n
