my three day weekend…..starts….now……

I have a three day weekend coming up.
For my son’s wedding.
I am in the middle of peeling potatoes but my fingers kept cramping up so I thought I should take a break.
Tomorrow I will clean my house and do laundry and then around three go and help my soon to be daughter in law decorate the community center.
At five thirty we have the rehearsal and then my soon to be daughter in law is going to grill out at her and my son’s home.

Saturday is the wedding and that will be an all day thing.

Sunday I hope to have a day of doing not a damn thing unless I want to.

It is great to have three days off in a row, working two jobs.
After that I won’t get another day off until Labor Day.

Have a great weekend one and all.

feeling old and abused

I overworked myself today.
Physically exhausted and worn out.
Jesh…I hate feeling this way…..

moving furniture can do that to a person I guess because it has literally worn me out.
Hurts to walk, and that is quite sad isn’t it?
last few days I have been climbing up and down on a ladder at work and today with moving four classrooms of furniture my calves are really having fits.

this getting old is hell…….

same old same old…..

nothing note worthy to write about today.
Just the same old thing.
Work and home.
Three days after today until the wedding.
Hope it all goes well.

My youngest son took me out to lunch which was nice.
Other then that it is cleaning my life away at the job and just hanging out at home.
Had a lightening bolt that I swear was in our back yard about twenty minutes ago.
Really scared me.

I think we have had enough rain…..and yet it still rains….

Learning to say goodbye

how do I help you to say goodbye?
How do I teach you that it is best to let it all go?
how do I show you that although I will always care about you and yes even love you……I don’t want you in my life.
How do I tell you that you aren’t good for me and I am a happier person when I have nothing to do with you?
How do I help you to learn to say goodbye?

I honestly don’t know……

but it is still goodbye……..

I resent this…..

I was reading my brother’s blog earlier today and he was making a reference to Mr and Mrs Pitt and some magazine offering them millions for the first rights of pictures of  their twins.
First off, and no this isn’t the part I resent……. Brad and Angelina aren’t married

secondly and this is the part that I greatly resent….some woman made a comment on his blog about not even knowing that the twins were born and she said and I quote  “But I live in the real world”
Which is implying that those of us who know about Brad and Angelina’s twins  don’t.
I wanted to reach in to the computer screen and smack her.

Just because I think Brad Pitt is the sexiest man alive, and I happen to know that he and Angelina had twins means I don’t live in the real world?
Where do I live then?
The second class world?

Just rubbed me the wrong way.
That Miss  “I live in the real world”  thinks she is higher up or smarter then someone who might care about what is going on with a celebrity.

OR am I making more of this then I should?

a funny/ strange thing….or at least it is to me……

I often get together with co workers at my first job and we talk about our families.
I am as you already know (those of you who are faithful readers) know I am already a grandmother and LOVING IT!!!!
some of the guys I work with are older then I am and they have little kids.
Elementary or younger.
I find that odd, and or strange….

to think while I was having my kids and raising them they were out having a good old time.
And now that my kids are all raised and I’m enjoying grandmother hood….they are just now raising their kids.

Is it me or does that seem a bit odd?????

countdown to the wedding

here we are in less then a week and my oldest son will be getting married.
I hope it all goes smoothly and works out for him.
I have probably said in previous blogs that I’m not sure his soon to be wife is the best choice for him because she doesn’t want to give him a child of his own.
She wants him to adopt her child and help her raise her child but she doesn’t want to give him one of his own.
Therefore I am not sure she is the right woman for him.
She has a good heart and she seems nice enough but…..it wasn’t that long ago he told me he wanted to be a father (his own child) by the time he was thirty.
He is 27.

Marrying Tonyia may not get him that child.
I’m pretty sure it won’t.
And to me that just makes it wrong.

But I can’t live his life for him and only he can decide what is most important to him.

Still let’s hope the day goes well.

itching tear ducts

has anyone ever had this problem?
For the last twenty four hours my tear ducts are really itching.
My left eye was so bad I was constantly tearing up and wiping my eye.
Could this be allergies?
I have never had this problem this bad before.
It is crazy.
And frustrating.

sneezing on this Friday night

I have a cold and I have to tell you I’m quite sick of it already.
Jesh.
It is July for crying out loud!!!
Quite silly to have a cold in July!!!

My husband is 52 today and the kids are coming over for supper.
Take out Chinese.

Rick’s choice.

So we will have a house full here in a bit.

Other then that I have my darling grand daughter over night tonight and hopefully for the better part of tomorrow.

Happy Friday every one!!!
Ahhh chooo!

Brad on the mind

I can’t explain it, I wouldn’t even know how to begin to explain it… but all day long I have been thinking about Brad
What Brad may you ask?
Is there more then one?
Brad Pitt of course.
Can’t even tell you why other then I was reading the article in”People” about him and Angelina having the twins.
Old news right?
But I reread the article this morning and that must be the reason why he has been on my mind all day.

I mean just look at the man.
Hunk, hunk, hunk, hunk…..not to mention sexy.

The guy was born with the beauty charm that is for sure.

granted he is three year younger then I am but I can still admire can’t I?
I’m not dead yet.

There is a guy who lives in our town who is almost as hunky as Brad.
he is thirty or thirty one though….just a young pup yet but oh so cute.
He can’t quite compete with Brad but then again…..who can?
No one!!!!
