Well Another Busy Week For Me Has Past\Another On The Way

Last week was very busy on me the girls were here and we had a great time I kept the busy. If they were not in the pool they were watching TV. The they would eat a lot which is normal with a lot of kids. Come bath time that was something else, I would think back at to how many towels we always had when had after the kids got finished. When Alissa came along that added more and more. But I love these little girls and enjoy spending time with them. I took my Dad to DayCare on Tuesday and Wed. that made it for a nice day for me and Mom. On Wed I did not fell well and then on Thursday I went for a hearing test and that was different on Monday I get the result from the test. I will get Alissa tonight for we are leaving for T'Hill on Tuesday and coming home on Friday. I can not wait to go I enjoy going and seeing my family and eating a lot of food. My Mom will not be able to go because her trailer is not in good shape. The weather has take care of it and done some harm to it. But my Dad is with Robin for a week are more so I do not have to worry about them while I am gone off. Then Kent and I will come back from T'Hill and go to Georgia he has to go and work. I am just going to be going my Dad will be back but Melissa will have to step in and help. She has he new wheels and when she takes them places they have to be so careful while riding in her new wheels and not spill anything are scratch it up. She is so bad that she will not take his wheele chair for my Mom to use it while they are out. So sometimes MOm just takes her truck are I drive I don't care. Because there is a way to take the wheel chair and not mess up your new wheels by puting a sheet are some towels in there and it will not mess up anything well enough is enough everyone have a great week and I know we are. May God Bless All. I am so proud of Bay that she said Dad and took a step.

Camp\Sign at Old Minor High School

Camp was great we had a wonderful group of kids and Staff. We had about ninety something people which was a good size group. The food as always was great the kids enjoyed the food like you would not belive. Breakfast one morning we had french toast,another morning we had olments my hubby made all these little extra it even got the ones on a diet off the diet for awhile. Susan always can fix some different things also she made fried pickles,peach cobbler and these were great. Another night we had pork chops,ribs and these were so tender and great my hubby grill these on the big grill at camp. We have a big shed to grill under now it is new and Kent was the first to use it. We had crafts one day and made magnets, and key chain's that was a lot of fun. Stunt night was a lot of fun because you got to see the kids use there talents and that was great. Ned was at camp and his sister Nettie Bell was at camp and she did an acdemy awards show. We had a Miss Hawain Tropic Pagent one night and Alex won for the guys but he had some more hair style and his lady act was unreal. The we had a little girl to win also and I like that because we need to let the other kids win to. When we had action acution we let some of the little ones win also it is only fair. One had one action title the best Gomer Pyle we had three guys Josh,Cassey, and a tall guy name David out of the three David won because he acted and sounded just like him. Lila was great at camp she smiled when you seen her and she ate real good. Malissa had Isbella with her and she was a good little camper. I hated to see camp end we enjoy camp so much. We had a news paper everyday call the Smoke Signal, and it always had something good in it I guess I will always be called the great spagetti person because my name made the paper about all the noodles I made. Well I can not wait until next year for camp. Well yesterday we had a message on the board the old Obie does and boy did it raise some eye brows I have never heard such. On the sign it said If Caught With A Hooker in Minor Your Picture Will Be Made And You will Be Arrested And Took To Jail. But it did not stay up long because a man on Lane Dr. complained and he had to take it down. I am happy someone beat me to it because I would have let him know myself how much I did not like the sign this time because that is something that does not need to be on the board. I had rather anything else be up there then something like that man is a nut in more then one way. Well I am going to have a busy week this week my Dad has a Dr appt Monday then Tuesday Kent and I have an eye appt. Then on Thursday I have to have my hearing checked because I have a ringing in my ears and it drives me nuts also they think it maybe getting my balance off. Well all take care and May God Bless All.

I am Pack Ready Set Go Sunday For ICYC\My Dad

Well I we are packed and ready to go to ICYC Sunday and I can not wait to leave. Camp is on of my best times of the summer. It is a very great place to be for a week you are gone from the Phone,TV,Compture and anything else that is around in my area of where I live. Well I can not wait to swim and watch the kids eat,play and the best part is Thursday night it is skit night and that is always funny. Oh on one night we have action where the kids and counciler get to show off there acting side or singing side which ever you have. Well while I am gone my Dad will be in Day Care everyday but Monday and Friday. A home care nurse came to Moms yesterday and I went up to the house. The nurse ask Dad some questions about what he use to do and he told him that he was an iron worker,he even told him about falling 31 years ago. He broke his arm and hit his head so this could have a part in his problem. They are sending a home health care nursing aide out to give him a bath 2 days a week. So this will help out a lot and Mom, I need all the help we can get. The Social Worker will be coming out when I get back from camp and we are going to talk with her about some things and even Nursing Home are Assistant Living Home for Dad. The nurse said Dad would not be able to live at home much longer and may not be around for maybe more then a year and two years at the most. The nurse said it is better to go ahead and have a place for the person to go and then when it comes time for them to be put in a place you are ready and don't have to wait on a place to put the person. Well everyone keep my family in your prayer's as we get ready to make so descision as what to do and that we do the right thing. May God Bless All Have a Great Week!

Camp is Getting Closer Kent\Some of My Memories of Camp

This a day to write in red because it means I am getting more and more happy about leaving for camp on Sunday. Well this is one of the most happy times that Kent and I look forward to every year. We have been going to camp since Joe was about 3 years old I think back the first couple of times that Joe went swiming at camp he loved it because he got to swim with me and the girls and also his Dad that was great for him. But later on down the road when he got older to stay in a cabin he miss all the time he got to siwm in the pool twice. Daniel and Joe would play under the big tree out in front of where we eat at. They would get so dirty but they had a good time and that is what camp is all about fun and learning about Jesus Christ at camp. One time I can not forget was the first time we went down to the creek. David was showing everyone how to get in the canoe. I just know he step in the the boat turned over just as soon as he got in. My thinking was you do not stand up in the canoe for sure. Then one time we chuckie hanging around that was Amy's idea and you know how that goes. Then we had a group of boys name Joey,Rodney and I think Daniel that sang the Hump Back Goat Song. Then Rodney thought he was always a chick magnet. Then there was my girls that I had Robin,April,Rachel Bilitz,Dana and others that I can not think of. I just know that I always got the girls to wear a towel to the bathhouse and back so they could get dress in the cabin that seem to be the easy way when they were little. But I had one little girl name Rachel whom cared more about her hair then her body. Yes she had her hair all wraped up in the towel and well you can just guess how the other part of her body was left. We had some good times and funny times to. Those were the days with out air and nothing but a fan going for cool air. Now Kent and I both work in the kitchen and we enjoy that so much. Sometimes Kent just has to tone all of us women out because we get to talking about women things. But we do have a good time we laugh a lot and talk alot about good times and bad. When I first work in the kitchen I wash dishes and what ever else I could do and that is what camp is all about helping one another and learning more about Christ while we are at camp. Games are great but the best night is skit night some are so cute and some are very funny. They sing are the act like someone from camp. So I am so ready to go to camp and my hubby is to he takes a week off from work. Well I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and next week to and I will get back on and tell you all about our week at camp. This is just some of the great times at camp.

Things Around The House

Here is a few things that are going on around here that are good for once. Well as most people know by now Joe got him a new truck Sat. he is loving that pretty red truck we now have two red trucks and one white van. So we are now an Alabama family now with these things to drive. I just need to get Joe a tag for his truck so he will look like the rest in the yard. Well we almost have our pool up and going all we like turning the pump on and getting in. It is so hot out I can not wait to get in the pool. Alissa will be back on Thursday and she and I will get in then and enjoy for sure. Alissa loves to swim I don't know to many kids that don't like swiming. When ours were little this is all they new in the summer was swiming in the pool. When we lived in Adamsville we had a pool and one night we had gotten out of the pool and heard two frogs out in the pool. Joe had a plastic boat out in the pool that he played with and they were in it for some reason we named them Herman and Elaine this has been funny to us for years now. Well I can not belive that we leave for camp on Sunday it has come around to fast. I can not wait to leave for camp we always look forward to camp every year. Alissa is going to her church camp this year it is the same week as our's and so she wanted to go there this year. So we will miss her this year at our camp. Joe will not get to go due to school and work,he might get to come down one night I don't know for sure. Well I called and talk with Becky today I told them how much they were missed yesterday. I told her I miss hearing Rachel very pretty vice singing Sunday morning and of course how much we missed them all. She said they miss us all very much but they would be back to visit soon. I ask about Ms Lizzy and she said she was in a six foot chained in back yard so she can not get out of the yard. Well also I talk with my Mom and Dad called her today not acting right at all on the phone he said he is coming home Tuesday we don't for sure yet. Well our garden is growing great and looks great so far I hope we get lot of things from the garden this year. Well I look over on the couch and cookie is sleeping very sound, Joe just got up out of his bed took a bath then he is off to school for a little while. Soon my hubby will be home from work for the day and that is always nice when he comes in. Well Everyone Have a Goodday and May God Bless All.

Kent and I Married for 33 Years Of Our Life

Well June the seventh I will be marred to the man of my life for 33 years. This has been the best 33 years anyone could ask for. Who would have thought that two people from the same neighborhood would have ended up together. We went to high school together and never once dated while in school. He brought newspapers to our house and we did not even look at one another. Before I meet him I was dating someone else but that ended and I was happy because he was one of those that had someone on the side. Kent said he would watch me get off from work everyday and he would tell the guys I sure would like to date her. So some friends of our's that we worked with fixed us up as they use to call it. Then it just went from this point on we dated for two years and we got married. I have been happy from this point on and I love this man so much. We have been bless with three great kids we have had our ups and downs but every family has that. We made it through all of it and we are still happy and our kids are to. So you could not ask for a better life. Husband and kids,my other son Jason,another daughter Rachel. Of course this little tiny blessing name Alissa and another tiny Blessing on the way. So I am so Happy with my life and the way it turned out. I married into a very loving and Bless Family a man with a great family and great parents whom I learned a lot from enjoyed every moment of them being here on this earth with us. Now have gone on to a better place and are happy I am sure. Well I just had to add this to my blog tonight because Sat I am going to be busy and we are going out to eat for our 33rd great and wonderful years together.

Hard and Stressful Pass Couple Of Days

This has been a hard and stressful pass couple of days as everyone knows my Dad is in the hospital at Princeton in room 207. We put him in because Mom had been having more problems with him not wanting to take his meds,not bathing and she just does not know how to handle things anymore. I am worried about all three of them my brother does not understand anything about none of this and I think my Mom is the same way. She thinks things should be like they have always been and they never will be. She wants him to help her and that just cause an unhappy ending because he just gets mad at her and she gets mad at him. Him not taking his meds gets to me because this is very important if he goes to sleep before he is suppose to she will not wake him and during the day she will not find him sometimes to get him to take them. Then she has her meds and my brothers. So this is becoming a problem with all of it. The other night he was just going to take all the meds and she told him I will hit you with this top to my crock pot if you touch any of these meds. So I talk with her on Wed and we went after supper and took him to the ER with my brother and younger sis. I wish she would have stayed at home all she did was give trouble about all of it. But I try to explain to her what was going on afterwards and she would not listen she just turned up the radio instead. This just made me mad so I just quit talking. She does not help out anyhow much with out complaning about what she has to do. She got a new suv and she does not like my brothers wheel chair in it what she does not know she could put something in her suv and take his wheel chair so we drove Moms truck instead. Well today Alissa and I took her and Dwight to the bank and pick up somethings from the store so she would not have to ask Melissa to do anything. My oldest sis does not even know unless Melissa told her I am not telling her. When she came to Trey's graduation they came over to Robin's house afterwards and did not get out until everyone had left so she just does not want to be around any of us. Which is fine with me at least I can say I do help as much as possible at that is all that matters to me. Well VBS was great the kids and adults had a great time,Alissa said Nana I love VBS. After all that is what is all about learning and having a good time. It is so important for the kids to stay in church now days so they can lead a good life all the time. Well all take care and keep my family and I in your prayers. May God Bless All!

The Past Couple of Days Have Been Ruff

The past couple of days have been ruff around the edge's for me. I had a block on Monday in my neck and have not wanted to do anything at all around the house are with Alissa but she has been so sweet about everything. That little girl is so special in so many ways and she is so loved and so will the next and so on how ever many there is to come around here. I will love them all and want to spend time with all of them. My neck is feeling better once I get a shot it takes me a couple of days to get over one. But I hope to be at Church Wed. night I don't like missing anything at church. But today I talk with my Mom and she is having some more bad times with Dad I told her she was going to have to make up her mind what she was going to do. I told her I was worried about her and my brother very much. My brother does not understand anything that is going on and I don't think she does because all she does is get mad at him and that does not help anything at all. But that seems to be so hard to get across to her. She is use to being in charge of everything an anything at that house. She still expect Dad to do what ever she ask and he will not do that anymore. I just wish I could make her understand what is going on with Dad and she needs to do for her health and my brothers. She just has to much on her to keep going like this for much longer. But then Melissa does not help things by taking up for Dad and saying you need to spank Dwight and make him mind. She told Mom I have not been around for two weeks and done anything up at the house. But what she does not understand I have a life and health problems to. Well enough is enough and I am going to live my life and help as much as I can and not worry about anyone else and when that times comes I can say I help my parents as much as I could. But what will the other two have to say when they are ask where were you both at when you were needed the most in our parents and brother's life? Then I want to here what they have to say. Well hope to see everyone the rest of the week at VBS. May God Bless All!
