"Is It illegal to take my Cat's Valium?

It is one of those days.

I'm going to start out as wildly cautious as possible - Oxymoron? I'm thinking so.  

I'd be lying if I said the last few days have been pure bliss that had been filled with glittery winged unicorns burping candy rainbows and fluffy white clouds chucking pure gold coins from the sky. If only.

Because the past several days have been filled with endless anxiety and drama, then simmered nicely with love and affection, and topped with spontaneous excitement and surprises - this stuff just can't be written in a night. But I'll have you know, and you know me well by now, the truth is the best way to tell any story of reality that sometimes I can't help but wonder - Did God have a script, for me, already written on the number of different life challenges he was going to throw my way or did the Devil get a hold of my biography and rip out some pages without replacing them.

If there was ever a time in my life that I was wishing I was my cat - now is that time. Thank God for great friends, a loving family and my husband and boys. They can tell, what this mom is about to do, has been a long time coming - ROAD TRIP. What I'd like to do, is get these glorious mind numbing events down on paper, because seriously, I don't even believe it myself when I try to write how my last few days in the state of Maryland are seriously changing my life forever. So much so, before we begin our journey west, I am planning a quick trip within the month of May and I'm going back to my roots, and no not my real hair color, I'm headed back to New England to find the person I know I still am.

I will be keeping a journal and ask for a few days of patience, as I piece together why my blog title is perfect to describe this crazy ride I'm on.  I will be sharing my stories - as well as pictures I capture along the way - with you my readers. Hold on tight, you about to board one Hell of a ride and just when you think you can handle it - WOOSH! HOLD ON TIGHT!

Until then - Blog ya later.

"A Mom Just Knows"

It's been a busy week here at the Bolin home with preprations for our son's upcoming 18th Birthday. So in the meantime, here is a little something I found on the internet to put a smile on your face. Enjoy.

*****

Ben invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful Ben's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between Ben and his roommate and this only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Ben and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Ben volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Allison and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Allison came to Ben and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. "You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

Ben said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."

Several days later, Ben received a letter from his mother which read:

"Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Allison, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Allison. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"

For some reason this joke of the day, brought a song to mind. Funny what things will trigger in the brain. Have a great day!

ABBA - Does your mother know?

IT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN!

Our son in the Anne Arundel County Fair Demolition Derby tonight. Gates open at 4pm, there is food, fun, moon bounce, funnel cakes and the best Ice Tea this side of the Mason Dixon line. Event starts at 7pm. Make your sign, cheer on car #22. He is raising money for the Anne Arundel County Jr Fair board, and he has to pay his dad back. hahaaa. I am so nervous for him. This will be my biggest challenge yet. Letting my almost 18 year old, be his own man. I wonder, after the bumps and bruises will he need his mommy? I'll update you on the hightlights of the event. We are so proud. So here's to wishing him his first win.  Have a great weekend. Blog you later.
