Today is Wednesday, May 12, 2009. Last night at supper I was talking to mother about daddy and I realized then that she really had no idea who he was. She has completely forgotten him and ever being married to him. But, she still laughs when you talk about BUT and anything about "men" or sleeping with men, makes her laugh. She is eating a huge bowl of ice cream every night and she thoroughly enjoys every bite. Last night when I was tucking her into bed, she said you are the best mother in the world. I really believe she thinks I am the mother and she is the baby girl. She's also having more trouble swallowing her pills and gets chocked more frequently. I don't know why that is happening, and it worries me. We rode around on the hill and by Aunt Joyce's old house. They tore it down today and the lot it was on is really a pretty lot. I don't know what they plan to do with it, but it's a lovely lot.
On another note, I have less than a month left at Dyersburg Middle School. Then I am back to Dyersburg High School to be the Director of Student Services. I am sad about leaving DMS because it's been a great six years, but I am also excited about going back to a new challenge at DHS. If everything lined up in the stars right, I could retire when this freshman class, The Class of 2013, the class I will follow graduates.
It has rained so much this spring. I hope we can get some this summer when we really need it. The farmers are probably pretty nervous. Today I helped Harold move his BIG screened in room to the hill. Lance also helped as the rear escort. He's getting ready for his birthday party there on the hill. His 70th birthday is May 16. Tommy mowed today, but the mower messed up and he had to take it to the shop. I sure hope it's not a costly venture.
