thoughts

as I am sitting here at work waiting for the time to pass so I can go and get breakfast for the kids out of the way…..I am thinking of the past, and the future and what might be ahead of me.

As I have probably mentioned a time or two, there is nothing more important to me then God and my family.
And while I love life and love my family I often think of what the future holds.
What keeps a person committed?
What happens to a persons needs and wants?

I realize we all grow up and change…and what we want and need changes too, but I do wonder about people especially my own children and what the future holds for them when the choices they make will reflect the future as a whole?

I know I can’t  help them with the choices they make or what they do or don’t do with their lives.

still these thoughts go through my head……..

walking on Sunshine

It is Friday!!!
How I love this day.
My favorite day of the week!!
And while most people would think Saturday would be the favorite day, I love Friday’s because when I get up on Friday mornings I think to myself….
“Ahh…..two days to sleep later than 5 am, the next two mornings”

And with it being Friday, I have two days ahead of me that I don’t have to work.
On Saturday morning, there is only one day left after that day!

I know it sounds strange but it makes perfect sense to me.

I feel very blessed and I feel like I am walking on Sunshine just because of all the gifts my dear Heavenly Father has blessed me with.

Thank you Lord

baby girls

I have had my grand daughters since about nine pm last night.
They both were asleep by nine thirty and slept fitfully.

neither girl can just lay still, they both are all over the bed when they sleep so it makes it hard for me to sleep too.
I love them so very much but it is hard to sleep with them.

No plans for the day.
May go to the city to go out to eat.
nothing is certain yet.

Well happy Sunday one and all.

back pain

I am suffering horribly with back pain these last few days.
I may have to go to the doctor.

my oldest son Brian is off for work for a week with a pulled muscle in his lower back.
The doctor told him it could be a pinched nerve but they are treating it like a pulled muscle for right now.

and he has to go back in two weeks to have it checked again.

They didn’t do the MRI like I had done when they discovered the pinched nerve  and slipped disc but they still might if it keeps giving him problems

So much fun getting older.

Waking up to Sunday morning

My baby girls stayed the night last night.
Keira was asleep before eight pm due to the fact that she didn’t have a nap yesterday.
She slept all night long only waking up once talking in her sleep and crying a bit.
I patted her leg, told her I was here and she quieted right back down to sleep.

Kayla was asleep by nine and woke up at twelve (midnight) crying out.
I found her pacifier and gave it back to her and patted her butt until she quieted down.
She woke again at three ten, to the same ritual.
She woke up at six crying and wanting fed.
So we have all three been up since six.
Which is alright since I slept till nine yesterday morning (after not going to bed until midnight)
Keira went with grandpa to work (his every weekend ritual of reading meters) and then I will take a bath once they get back home.

The funny thing is, Miss Kayla refuses to crawl forward.
She literally gets up on her hands and feet to move.
She won’t crawl forward.
She will crawl back wards and scoot herself around

she can lay down and get herself sat back up too, and she tries very hard to pull herself to standing up completely although she hasn’t done it for me yet because the couch is too high for her.

She was nine months old yesterday.
Hard to believe….but I bet she is walking by her birthday in November.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love being Nana?

weekends how I love them

last night the kids (minus Paula) came over and we played cards until almost midnight.
So much fun to play games with them and watch them interact with each other.
The boys tend to pick on their baby sister and she sometimes gets upset but I can tell she enjoys it too, being the baby.

Today we will have my two youngest grandchildren until tomorrow afternoon.

It is suppose to be very hot and humid today and tomorrow so I am not sure how much time we will spend outside.
I hate hot and humid weather.

Anyway no plans for when the children go home tomorrow afternoon but by then I am sure I will find something to do.
Love my baby girls so much, but the peace and quiet is good too.

Happy Weekend!

kids over for supper

all of my kids, except Paula came over for supper tonight.
no occasion just they all were available to come over.

Grand children are wonderful as always and the kids love to tease each other and it is fun to just sit around and listen to them.

It is so wonderful being a part of a big family

Yes I miss Paula but it is her choice to live so far away.

grand daughters can’t get along

I have all three grand daughters tonight and the older two just can’t seem to get along.
They haven’t seen each other for five days but they just can’t get along.
I even told them that they hadn’t seen each other for five days so why couldn’t they play nice?
and then they do for a while and then they start fighting again.
ugh.

Kayla took a forty five minute nap and she seems in a good mood.
So it is nice to have one happy grand child.

65

I forgot to mention that my oldest sister turned 65 yesterday.
Ooops!
I did send her a birthday card but didn’t call her.
She tends to rambling on and while I enjoy visiting with her I am not a big talking on the phone kind of person.

Still she is seventeen years older then I am and she was a very big influence on me when I was a kid.

So happy late birthday Carolyn!

already a year

my son and his wife have been married a year ago today.
Granted the date is August 2nd which is tomorrow, but the day was Saturday so…technically it is a year ago today

Nothing much has changed in that year in our lives except Kayla was born, which is a wonderful addition to our family.

I wonder what the next year will bring?
