Still no paycheck from T. That business is sucking the life out of me financially. I don't want to put pressure on him because it will result in an ulcer -- he has enough pressure already. I have got to pay bills and tuition tonight. I hate the late fees that hit us because the cash flow is as it is right now. I'm freaking out about summer as the cost of our sitter will kill me if T isn't being paid consistently. Living on less is one thing... Going deeper into debt is another.

Today would have been my parent's 41 anniversary. Or would you say that it IS their 41st anniversary? Dad brought her flowers to the cemetery. He did 41 yellow roses and one red rose. Yellow was her favorite and each year he got them for her -- one for each year they were married. The red rose was always for his love. He always signed it "All my love, forever. B." He had the florist make a ribbon for the arrangement that said that. My father is a wonderful romantic man. I told my husband T about it and he agreed it was so sweet it breaks your heart.

41 years ago today he put the ring on her finger. What a wonderful example of a marriage. What a blessing for them and for us.
