Running on Fumes

Before I start my post for today- I wanted to thank everyone for your suggestions for bachelorette items- I am going to look at all of those websites and report back on what I find and buy! Y'all are the best!!

I am definitely running on fumes this morning- I didn't get but about 2 hours sleep last night- just could not fall asleep! I have a donor meeting today, too, and my eyes are looking the part of my sleepless night- yikes! I just hope I make it through the day til 4:00 without falling asleep at my desk then it's home to Elloree for Mother's Day! I definitely just need a weekend to relax and hang out with my parents and go see my childhood best friend and her family- she has the cutest little boy and I'm his Aunt Em.

I'm also reallllly looking forward to eating some good ol' barbecue tonight from Orangeburg. You haven't lived until you'd have bbq with the "orange sauce"- not mustard, not vinegar, not ketchup, but a blend...mmm, it has spoiled me for all other bbq for the rest of my life, I think!!

I hope that everyone has a great Mother's Day and is able to celebrate with their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, or children. To those of you who are mothers, I tip my hat- I know it's often times a thankless job, but one day your children will appreciate all you have sacrificed for them.

Here's a picture of me with my mom on Easter 2 years ago (Man how my hair has grown!):

Who can find a virtuous woman? She is far more precious than jewels...Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her: Many women are capable, but you surpass them all! Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised. ~Proverbs 31:10, 25-30

Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!
