1. I’ve been long gone - haven’t even turned ON a computer in weeks.
2. I’d like to blame my mother for this.
3. Except that it is VERY tacky for a grown woman to blame her mother for her own actions.
4. But ya’ll! My MOM is here!
5. She lives in Australia, and comes to visit twice a year, and now is one of those times!
6. The shopping! The SHOES! The conversations and dreams she has that revolve primarily around handbags! LOVE THAT!
7. Mucho chocolate consumption.
8. We’re working off the calories with laughter.
9. Yeah, that’s what I’m telling myself.
10. Caden-4yr calls her ‘Fanmother,’ since ‘g’s are hard for him. I call her J-Mom, and you can too if you’d like.

We’ve missed you ’round these parts, but glad your absence is due to such a good thing. Enjoy your visit with the mom!

J-Mom is always a great reason to make yourself scarce. Enjoy the spoiling, laughing and loving that y’all will continue to do for her stay!

Just stumbled into your blog for the first time and I love it. You made me laugh and I’m only on my 2nd cup of coffee. So, therefore YOU ROCK!
Glad your Mom is there….have a great time eating chocolate!

Honestly I’ve missed you tons, but having J-Mom around has got to be way better than keeping your Far West TX friend updated.
Eat some chocolate for me. Better yet, send me the recipe for those delicious chocolate truffles you sent!
Hugs!

Glad to see you’re back and having a great time with J-Mom! May all her (and your) handbag dreams turn into fabulous handbag realities!
