FROM ONE MEAN MOM

We had the meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast. When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches. And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had, too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She had to know who our friends were, and what we were doing with them. She insisted that if we said we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the Child Labor Laws by making us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds. Then, life was really tough! Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so she could meet them. Everyone else could date when they were 12 or 13….we had to wait until we were 16.

Because of our mother we missed out on lots of things other kids experienced. None of us have ever been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's property, or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault. We never got drunk, took up smoking, stayed out all night, or a million other things other kids did.

Sundays were reserved for church, and we never missed once. We knew better than to ask to spend the night with a friend on Saturdays. Now that we have left home, we are all God-fearing, educated, honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was. I think that is what's wrong with the world today...it just doesn't have enough mean moms anymore.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

I had a lesson this morning, but half of the band is in the Keys this weekend, so I will either play solo, or it will be just me and the drummer.

I don’t mind doing solo, as i only have to watch out for me.

How's your Mom doing, Kathy?

She’s feeling better today. The doc (old friend, and ready to retire and his office doesn’t take Medicare anymore) said it would be 4 to 6 weeks for all the swelling and inflammation to go down. Her knee is a candidate for a complete knee replacement, but her age is not. She would not have agreed to it anyway.

My sister will probably come up in late October to be here when I have her appointment with a new doctor that takes Medicare. Then we will shop for one of those recliners that stands you up...you don’t have to lever yourself out of the chair.

It takes her several tries to get to a standing position and then we see if the knees choose to function. I have the home care folks coming for an assessment early this coming week, and the medical alert pendant is ordered.

AND the doctor, YES the doctor, said that her cane is now part of her....I have been preaching this for weeks, but now I have backup...THE DOCTOR SAID!!! Hurrah!! The usual response I get is, “I’m only going here, I only have to go a little ways”, etc.
