Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms in my life!  Have a fabulous day enjoying time with your family.  I'll be hitting the road with my husband and kids to spend the day with my parents, sister and her kids, and maybe even my brother and his wife. 

I'm on a pre-surgical diet to assist in shrinking my liver.  I'm cautiously aware of everything I eat, because I have a real understanding of the effect it could have on me.  At this point - it could make the difference between having the surgery done laparoscopically, or having to cut me open and deal with a much longer healing time.  I've got a healthy lunch planned; a turkey burger (no bun), grilled asparagus, and fresh fruit. 

Sounds like the kids are waking up.  It's time to start the day.
