Oh, man. It seems like I cannot catch a break. It is a known fact that I have a slight affection for office supplies. Pens, ink, note pads, post-its, etc. Well, someone very sweet gave me an olive tree box complete with post-it notes. It is proudly setting on my desk. Alas, however, I will never be able to use the post-its in it. There is a perfectly logical explanation.
Why you ask? That is such a great question. The reason is because I cannot find anything to refill it should I use up all the post-its in it. I spent a few minutes this morning checking out the office supply sites and that size is not available. Now, why would they make such a beautiful box and then not have the size post-its available for refills? I have no earthly idea. The problem is, I CANNOT use it now. Because, you ask? Because I cannot possibly use it for fear of running out of the right sized post-it notes. You see my problem? I am completely unable to use them.
It sounds like a silly problem, but for someone with office supply OCD, I cannot control myself. I have tried. My children have been known to kid me about my note pads. I cannot use them because if I do, then they will be gone. Simple enough. I use scrap paper or the backs of old notes instead. I have lovely note pads, and if I have more than one, then I can use them. If not, then no. Not possible. I keep them in a box on my computer desk.
Just in case anyone reads this and can find them, the size of the post-it is 2 5/8 x 3 inches.
Help me.

Mother's Day
Today is Mother's Day. I had a great day. Good service at church. Blessed by that. Got to spend time with some very special ladies in the church nursery loving on those sweet little babies.
I feel completely valued and loved. My kids did pictures of the grandchildren specifically for me. They even dressed them in purple (my favorite color). I love them. I love the pictures. I am so honored to have been given these beautiful daughters from God. I am completely blown away by the wonderful women they have become. They are just so great.
Wayne hung my new light fixture over the table in the dining room -- I didn't think he was going to do that, but was pleasantly surprised that he did. He bought me a very thoughtful gift. He loves me. I am totally blessed.
I got a sweet text from my little sister wishing me a Happy Mother's Day.
We had a good cookout with Wayne's mom at his sister Amy's house. Was surprised with a very thoughtful gift from the Israeli family that Amy has been working with (made me all misty-eyed).
Such good times with family. Catching up. Watching the children play with such gusto and abandon. Taking pictures. Eating way too much fabulous food. Talking with sisters-in-law. Enjoying my beautiful nieces and their wonderful kids. Loving this special celebration. Savoring the time together. Love my family. Feeling very emotional and tender hearted today.
Even still--as good as the day was--I miss my mother. I just do.
