The Kids Have Arrived!!!

Yeah for Samuel and Jordan, they have arrived! Oh, and yeah, their parents too. My son, Jonathan and his wife, Jessica. lol...I am excited for them too, but nothing beats having the granbabies around, n'est pas?

They have moved to our area. They just live a few miles down the road. So I plan on some major nibbling and babysitting in the near future. Today I am fighting a very bad headache. Nope, not the kiddies....lol...the weather is changing yet again. It can't decide if it wants to be cold or warm. So it decided to rain. It is wet, cold and damp, the wind is blowing and it's about 50* out, so that usually brings on the ole migraine attack. Had to go to the dr. and get a couple injections this time. So, off to bed now.

Just wanted to update my bloggy friends....I keep neglecting my space here. I am going to do a major overhaul here soon. Or get my special favorite sister to help, she is so creative...(hint, hint) I love her to pieces! (nope, not buttering her up, she knows I do!) Well, my pillow needs me to lay on it now....ciao for now! God bless!

Happy Birthday Mommy, I love you

Today is my mommy's birthday. She would be 89. Not a big milestone, but she died at such a young age, 67. She died of emphysema, such an ugly disease....takes away your every breath.

I miss her, I wish she could of seen her grandchildren grow up and get married. Then see her great grandchildren. She would of loved them so much. And if she were here, I would throw her a big party....so here's to long life with my kiddies, my grand kids, and hopefully their kids....I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Wow!! It's Been Awhile!

I can't believe it has been like over a month? Where has the time gone? Where have I been? What have I been doing? Did I get kidnapped by an alien and forget where I lived or something? It seems so. Well, since I have last posted.... I have gone to see my best sissy in Nebraska, you all know her as "C", Midwestern Mama With a New York Heart. I spent 2 weeks out there. I drove from North Carolina. Yup, it was snowing and stormy most of the way. And on top of that I was sick. I had my lil dachshund with me for protection. Just in case someone tried to murder me or worse rob me. She would bite there toenails off. Yup, she was my lil knight in brown armour.

Once we got there though, we found out that we picked up a few friends along the way. Well, not meaning to, and not wanting them, they just "jumped" on board. Them dang fleas!! And they hopped onto Bella, their beautiful Boxer! So, not only did I drive straight for 2 full days with no sleep, sick, medicated, with my lil Morgan in the blizzard, with a flea bag....lol, but when we got there, we had to fumigate the house and bathe the dogs and kennels and comb them over and over and go out in the storm to get all the stuff to do it!! Poor Chris and Di...we had sooo much to do those 1st few days. My other sister was there too, and she helped a bit too.

We had a really good visit though. Just hanging out and watching TV, movies, and just visiting. Played some games, EATING....lots of eating...sleeping, just relaxing...I had some major chilling to do. I had the best time with my sisters, all 3, I will never forget the things they did for me. I can't even begin to explain...It doesn't seem like a lot, but when I needed to go somewhere, they were there for me. I needed to leave for a time, and they are always willing to take me in. I love you Toone and Di, your the best, oh and Niece too, for always loving me, even when I am not so lovable!! Your the best!! May God bless you in all you do, love you so much!!

Hoping everyone had a joyful holiday and fabulous new year! Ours was kind of both, we had a death in the family...and lots of sickness. But....we had visitors....so it was somber, yet a blessing all the same. We really appreciated each other and caught up on some old times. A time of reflection, reacquainting with each other, but mostly, enjoying each other. The time of the season. Wishing we could all be together....well...at this time of year, family is what is important. Love is important. Without that, what have you? After all, that is what it is all about. So...take the time to go the extra steps and see those you have not seen in a long time. You will never regret it, nor will they! God Bless you!
