Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! My weekend was fantastic – 
got both sons together with a photographer for probably the last professional photos they’ll have made together, them moved the younger one out of the dorm and back home. I’m not the kind of mom or wife who has ever been into flowers, and have always told hubby if he’s ever in doubt, go with a gift card to Best Buy or a bookstore. There wasn’t really anything I wanted for Mother’s Day – I was just happy having both boys home.
But then Saturday, an idea popped into my head. Ziplining! A place just opened 10 minutes from our house, so hubby, the 
oldest son, and I went yesterday and had a blast! The younger one isn’t a fan of heights, so he took the photos and held all the cell phones. The first pic is after we finished the three runs (I’m the short one in the middle, in case you were wondering), and the other is me up on the platform – just not a very good shot. If you’ve never tried it, go now – so much fun!
Writing was going well last week – until I was rudely and unexpected attacked by some sort of pollen/allergy/sinus juggernaut. Thursday I was down for the count – couldn’t breathe, body chills, head splitting – I was convinced I left a trail of brain cells through the house. When I can’t even read, it’s bad. And the drugs weren’t working. Friday was much better, and I even managed to see a movie with the oldest son and meet friends for dinner. But the word count only totaled 1K last week. I’m not beating myself up over this, because the oldest son enters the real world in a couple of weeks, and I’m enjoying this time with him. I’ll make up the word count another time.
Have a great week!

Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend with your family. So happy for you.
And who cares about word count? Family first. Always.
Sorry about your allergy issue. We’re suffering, too. Hope you find relief soon.

Sounds fun! Well, other than the allergy attack. Hope your allergies are back under control again now.

So sorry you got hit with the allergy whammy. It sounds like it was a wretched one. So glad you’re on the mend now.
I have always wanted to try zip lining, but I’m petrified of heights and the two just don’t seem to go together, LOL. I’m sure I’d be the one on the ground taking photos. So glad you had fun and a wonderful time with family 🙂

It was my first time – the employees were very helpful and professional. I never felt unsafe. Hubby also has a heights issue, so I was surprised he tried it.

Zip-lining is not something I would do either. I would also hold the camera. What a great weekend. I also spent Mother’s Day with family.

The ziplining was so much fun, Mischenko! However, the mountains of clothes in my laundry room that found there way here from the dorm room are another story. Hope you had a great weekend!
