A Load of Happy Birthdays!!

Well today is March 24, and today Lauren is 6 weeks old! I can't believe how fast she is growing. I saw her yesterday and she is really filling out, she is watching as you talk to her and following with her eyes with movement. Before we know it she will be grown. So here's a shout out to Lauren...Happy 6 weeks birthday!

Well on to older people.....as most of you know tomorrow is MY Birthday!! I am not going to tell how old I will be....let's just say old enough! I actually remember when I though the age I am going to be was OLD! Now thats a different story...it is a very young age!! So Happy Birthday to myself!!

Now, My only brother who is 4 years and 1 day younger than I...his birthday is on Thursday...So Happy Birthday to Rusty!! I bet you thought I was going to say how old he would be....ha ha...no such luck! I know he is feeling old...he says it all the time! I say age is just a number its all in how young you act!

I hope that the next few days are good ones, it has rained here most all day. When it does that it makes for a dreary old day. But I did go get my hair cut off today....it is short..and I love it. Makes me feel younger, Friday I am going back to get hi-lights. It is amazing to me that taking the time to get a fresh new look will make you feel so much better. Now if I could get back to getting this weight off....however I have started my walking CD's again...if I can just make it the 21 days that makes a habit I will be doing good!

Guess I better get off and get something done around this house...Obama is on and I really don't care to watch him tonight...tired of all this mess!

Happy Birthday to all!!

I am awake...really I am!

So on fri night I got a text...with Lauren's photo wide awake....James & Scarlet are always telling me that she doesn't sleep much at night I am not convinced! (LOL) Everytime I am there she is sleeping.

This morning Scarlet called me at 10:45 to tell me that Lauren was wide awake if I wanted to come see her...she had let them sleep in this morning. What a sweet little girl to think of her parents needing all that sleep! Of course, Grancie put on some clothes and headed out to see her. She is so precious, loveable and kissable. She would look at me and grin, as I was talking to her. She now weighs 10# 5 oz. She is a growing little girl! Oh and did I mention how precious and beautiful she is!

Here she is in her little jeans....isn't she the sweetest little one!

Work, work, work...NOT

I know I haven't been here much lately, with Mom, the business and to top it off I have not felt well the last week. This past week was the first that I have actually worked since the first week in Feb. But I have made it back into the shop, with new rules.....we are only to work 5 days a week and with decent hours..this last week I worked M-F, actually took a lunch hour to watch my soaps and quit between 5-6 each night. Wow that is a big step for me! But I have realized that work is all we were doing and we must take time to enjoy each other and our family!

I know there will be times we will have to work much harder but Lets just wait and see how long this lasts....

Coming or Going?

Well...that is a good question, one I am asking myself a lot lately. Folks it really seems as if my life is being pulled in so many directions, I don't know which way I am going!! This is why I haven't been here and posted lately!

BUS RIDE!!
You see Stoney and I drove to the other side of Orlando, FL to help dad get mom back home to TEXAS! It was 1054 miles-0ne way...and we did it in about 17 hours driving straight through. When she made her recovery out of ICU-she did it in fast forward. They released her from the hosp 2 days out of ICU. We got there Sun night around 7:30and left the next day to head home, pulled out around noonish. Stoney followed dad in the motorhome or bus as Mallie calls it! Stoney pulled the dogs and four wheeler with our truck. I rode in the bus...to take care of mom. I couldnt sleep as I was worried much about mom, she was so weak. I wanted to be there for her every little whimper. I know we drove her crazy, but we wanted to make sure she was taken care of. We finally got home on Tues afternoon around 4:30 pm. LONG TRIP, LONG RIDE
