Carpe Diem - Seize the Day

Isn't this just the cutest!  Thanks Sazzy you are the best!  Check out all the other cute tags Dianna has for us J-Landers who don't have her talent to make them!

I am happy to see this week come to an end.  Not the best of weeks here in J-Land or in my day to day life. 

Please visit CarnivAOL for a special edition full of our tributes to Pam.

Also, please visit my friend, Karyl's Glimpses of Eternity--  Lupus and Life who has gotten some bad news and needs some support right now.  A new medical curve ball has just socked her in the gut.  And, it sucks.  Sorry for the baseball analogy...

Moving into day to day life, my son had a very tough baseball game last night thanks to an umpire situation.  I don't have the energy to recount it all here but I will say that it is the kind of thing that just takes away the joy of the game.  Fuzzy's team lost 9-4, but there were some good hits and great plays, and the loss is not the issue at all.  Although, winning would have been a just dessert. 

My daughter had a tough week, too.  For some odd reason, her teacher got cranky with her, and it really threw her through a loop.  It was unwarranted and handled by my hubby, but it sucked.

I have these awful mouth sores that are part and parcel with Lupus/RA and they are killing me.  It is making me very cranky.  Add, pms and then the arrival of cramps, and that rounded out my week.  LOL 

However, today is Friday!  Thank GOD it's Friday!  I am very hopeful that this will be a nice weekend and I am determined to put on a happy face and make it so!

My parents are going into NYC tonight with another couple to see 'Barefoot in the Park' on Broadway, a Neil Simon oldie but goodie.  They are having dinner in the city too, and it is a lovely 63 degrees and sunny.... perfect evening city weather!

Be well,
Dawn
