My Dad,Ready for Nashville\ Got Block to In My Back Today

2009-04-07T16:09:00.008-05:00

Well my Dad went back to Cherry Hill today and this was good I was hoping that he would go back before I went out of town. When they put him in on Saturday he had fluid built up on his heart this was not good. So they were able to clear all of that and sent him out today. Well I have some things ready for our trip now I can get the rest done and be ready to go on Thursday. I am looking forward to getting away for a couple of days. Any time I can get away I take it no matter how long it is. Alissa told me last night she was ready to go and do puppets this year she has practice hard. So if you can get a chance and I will find out the time I would love for everyone to see her in the show. She is going to be a dolphin he most loved sea creature. This will be Brody first long trip. I know Alissa was 2yrs when she went on her first trip she had so much fun riding on the church bus with everyone in her car seat. I remember that just like it was yesterday it is funny how time flies by when you watch them grow up just like you watch your own. Well today I went and got a block in my back so I am hoping that I can walk around with out hurting at convention. We have to drive the truck this year because my van is acting up on us so we can not take it this year and that will be different but I like to ride in the truck just as much if not even more. Well everyone have a Bless Day on Wed. and I will see you all in Nashville.

Up Date On My Dad

2009-03-30T13:39:00.002-05:00

He did not get to leave the hospital today. He is back on oxygen and he is swollen again so they did not let him go home today. My Sister's call my Mom last night and told her they did not want him to go back to the nursing home. But there is no way my Mom can take care of herself,Dwight or Dad. My oldest sister went as far as saying he is not going to live much longer. But I do not know how she knows that. She told Mom if he went back to the nursing home they would kill him out at the nursing home. That is the same thing that the other two said but I have never heard of that happening at Cherry Hill. But I will keep everyone updated with everything and when my Dad goes back to the nursing home. Brody is not longer a sleep so I have to go and get him. Well all take care and keep us in Your Prayers.

It Has Been A While I Know

2009-03-28T21:54:00.002-05:00

Well I know it has been awhile since I Bloged I have been busy but then I stay on facebook more now instead of Bloging. Well let me start with first the family is still the same nothing has changed with anyone if anything it has gotten worse for me and Mom. None of the other girls will have anything to do with us as it has been for awhile. But my saying is I do what I have to and take care of my Mom,Dad, and Brother that is what matter's plus take care of myself. Then my Dad had to have open heart surgery and he is doing good they are walking him around now. When me and my Mom go to see him he does not talk much to us at all. But you let someone else beside us go visit and he talks to them. But that is ok I still talk to him and try to make him talk to me and he does. That is all that matters to me is that he does talk to me. He will be going back to Cherry Hill on Monday to room 206. I have a wonderful Hubby that has be by my side through all of this and I love him so much I would not know what to do with out him. I also would love to say thanks to the people I go to church with for all the prayers through all of this. Thanks to all who was at the hospital when Dad had surgery it is a blessing to have friends and family around at this time. On the other had there is Brody he is growing so much he weighs 19 pounds now and looks every bit of it and more. He eats well milk wise and food wise also. He will soon be 5 months old and that is hard to believe. Alissa has a b-day coming up and she will be ten years old and that does not seem right either. I enjoy going to there house and stay the night so I can watch both the kids at the house. I sleep on the bottom bunk bed and Alissa sleeps on the top bunk. One night she made her a bed on the floor by me she wanted to be close she said. Brody now sleeps in his on bed and has the biggest smile you have ever seen on his face. Alissa if doing great in school. Joe does not have much longer in school thank goodness. Well I guess this is enough we are going to watch Bolt the movie. Well all take care and May God Bless.

The Past Three Days

2009-02-15T15:35:00.002-06:00

We have had a great time here at the park. We went into the cave on Saturday and that was so neat on the inside they had a light and music show for V-Day yesterday. We had so much fun walking around and checking things out. After the cave walk Kent,Alissa and Jason got on this thing that went around and around in circles. But before they could finish they had to stop and let Jason get off. Then April got on with her Dad and Alissa I watch The Little Man and Alissa had a great time. Then she later got on a ride called the hamster ride that went around in circle and she screamed loud when she was on that ride. We all have had a lot of fun they have been bike riding also. Brody has done well on his first camping trip if I may say so. The first night was kinda hard but I think he was just tired. We made it through it all the trailer has bee so nice and we all have enjoyed it very much. More even so at night not having to get up and go to bath house at night just to use the restroom that has been one of the most improvement in our camping life. It rained one night and last night it was cold and we had to use the heater it kept us all warm. This just like our little home away from home and we all love it so very much. There will be more trips to come I am sure. Well I hope everyone had a good Sunday and the Marty is getting better also I have been thinking about him. May God Bless All We are having fun and I am Loving It very much and I do not want to leave on Monday.

Has Been Awhile I Know Since I Did Anything

2009-02-13T10:55:00.002-06:00

Well let me see what I can come up with. First myself I have had a lot going on just under to much stress. Stress can do a lot to you in ways you do not know of. But things are getting better they made some changes in my meds and I am getting better now. I don't spend as much time on the road as I did. I go up to Aprils and stay and keep the kids for her and I love it all. One night this week when I was at the house April was feeding the baby on the couch and spit up and Jason got up set a little. He told April why did you let him do that on the couch. Then he told her got sit in the other chair. Which is leather and not as bad when they spit up. I was in the chair and just laughing so hard I could not stand it. I said poor Brody don't do that again. It was just to funny Jason was laughing some to. Then you have Alissa and she came walking through and started acting like her Mom at work and she mad us all laugh. Brody is getting to be such a chubby little thing and he is trying to laugh and coo at you. Well today we are taking the trailer and going on our first trip and I can not wait. We are going to DeSota Caverns and staying until Monday we are looking forward to getting away. This is our little home away from home. Then in March Kent is going to work in Georgia for the week and we are taking the trailer and staying in it while he works. This will bed much cheaper for the company to because it does not cost as much to camp as it does to stay in a hotel. Well everyone take care and May God Bless See you all when we get back.

Up Date on Me

2009-01-24T13:55:00.002-06:00

Well Wednesday started out great I was at Aprils house taking care of the kids and who could ask for anything better but taking care of your grand kids. Alissa was out of school sick on that day but everything else was normal for me. Feeding the little Man and taking care of both of them and trying to spend time with Alissa also. They both are just as sweet as they can be when I am with them but then that is the way it is suppose to be with your grand kids the when the parents get home things change sometimes. That little Brody is getting to be some more baby of course he trys to talk and boy he has the biggest smile on his little face. Then I gave him a bath and when the cold air hit of course if you know a little boy you know what happen and it happen twice once it was so funny it hit the floor and I just laugh so hard because it was just that funny. So you get you little laugh and memories this way also. So we finished the bath and then he was hungry I feed him and he went to sleep for about four hours and that was great it gave me time to do other things. Then when Jason got home I left and came to the house and I felt pretty good when I got home. Later I took a bath and took my meds went to lay down I started feeling dizzy and light headed. Joe came in and took my blood pressure and it was low so he left where he went I do not know. Kent came out of the shower and we were talking I told him to take my blood pressure and he did it was 108 over 80 which was not to low. Then Joe came back in and took it again and it had dropped again back down to 83 over 33 so he started an IV then I passed out on them . Joe called the fire dept. they came and I finally came to they told me I was going to the hospital. I could not talk my mouth was dry and that was weird to me. So they put me in the ambulance and on the way to the hospital it happen again also I went into V-tack with them. When I came to real good I was at the hospital and could not tell them what happen. So they did some test work on my heart which was a tilt table test and a EPI test on my heart it was great. So they said I had a seizure the Dr came in and changed my med up some that I was already on and told me to keep in touch with him and let him know if it happen again. Well yesterday before I left it happen again they went ahead and let me come home. On Monday I am going to call Dr Fennell and Dr Barr to let them know what happen before I left. So Keep me in your prayers that things will get better for Me. May God Bless All

My Monday

2009-01-12T22:28:00.002-06:00

This was a good Monday for me I had the Little Man all day long at my house. This was different for me around here today. Even the Cook Cook was messed up today. She was so funny when I let he back in from the outside this morning. She did not know what to think about the Little Man being here all day long. She watch him all the time I had him at the house. When he would cry she would look at me funny and then she would whipper are if he moved she would look at me funny. When I would hold the Little Man to feed him she would put her paw on the chair and just whipper. She never offered to hurt him are bark at him,but she did lick his leg and hand. But Joe and his partner came over to the house for awhile so that was neat again. Then they had to go on a call but not to long after that he came back. The only thing he came back for was to get the Wii controls because they got a Wii at where he is based at in Adamsville. Well also Ben called me and told me that his friend Shawn Mom had to have surgery today. They found a tumor on her knee also a mass on her kidney and a tumor on her gland. So they did surgery on her knee today and they can fix the kidney but they are not sure about the gland yet. Also they do not know what kind of cancer it is yet. They should find out sometime this week and then they will go from there. So keep Shawn Autry and his family in your prayers. Also we sure did enjoy David and Susan company on Sunday night and eating with them at the house. Then tonight Myra and Tim came by to see the Trailer and they had supper with us it was great to see the also. Well everyone take care and May God Bless I am in the process of fixing my Blog again also well Kent is.

A New Blog From Me

2009-01-09T14:41:00.004-06:00

Well it has been has been several weeks since I have wrote a blog. I just have now had sometime to set down and do one. It has been busy around my house since after Christmas just when I thought things were slowing down. After Christmas I went to Exposure and this was great I had a lot of fun while I was gone. Mia and I were room mates we had so much fun one day we went shopping and had a great time. We had two great girls in our room with us and they were Brianna,Kerri. They always kept in touch with us on our cell phone and that was great. This is always a great time for everyone that goes we all benefit from it somehow are another. Then I come home and it is the same old thing going on in my family no one would help Mom while I was gone so I had to take her to get her med's and what ever else she needed done. Melissa told her that she could get me to do what ever needed to be done when I got back. So it is the same old thing when I am gone never a dull moment. But on the following Saturday Kent and I went out and brought us a Travel Trailer. It sleeps eight and my best part of it all you don't have to cook outside if you don't won't to. The next best part is it has a bathroom inside so we don't have to get up in the middle of the night and walk to the bathhouse. We will still have to take a bath at the bathhouse because the hot water heater in the trailer does not last long when you are taking a shower. So yes Emily and Alissa still get to go to the bathhouse and have fun taking a shower. Alissa has already lay ed claims to the top bunk in the trailer and she Emily could have the bottom bunk. So that was one of the best things that happen to us after Christmas. Oh my younger sister told my Mom that me and her were not welcomed at her wedding and that is OK because we have not even seen the man of her dreams either so it does not matter to me. Because after the way she treated April and them at Christmas I had already made up my mind not to be around her no more then I had to. Well I am at April house watching the baby while she is at work and he is working on wakening up so I guess I had better stop while I am ahead. Also Alissa is fixing to come in from school and I will have to let her in the house also. Well take care all and May God Bless All in this New Year.

Christmas Day 2008

2008-12-25T17:35:00.002-06:00

Yesterday started out the Christmas for us we went to Cherry Hill to Dad's Christmas party. Me Joe,Alissa went and he was happy to see us. Then we brought him home for Christmas after the party and Dwight was loving every minute on that. Dwight got to talking about having Christmas at home with Daddy for a long time now. So he is home until Sat after lunch Mom wants to get him back to Cherry Hill before I leave so that she will not have to deal with him while I am gone. After we got back home we went to April and Jason house for supper and to let Alissa open our gifts from us. We stayed until about ten o'clock and then we came home. After we got home we let Joe open his and we ope ours because he had to work Christmas Day. Well we got Joe some clothes which he needed and new coat for Christmas. Kent got some clothes and a remote control chopper which he wanted for Christmas. Then he got me some Ruby and diamond ear rings and Joe got me a neckles and I loved them both. Together he got us a GPS which we wanted to get well I am not good at direction. Christmas Day we went to Mom's house we got her and Dad both a photo frame. April brought the kids by to see Mom,Dad and Dwight loved seeing them both. Dwight wanted to hold the baby and April let him hold Brody and Jason took his picture with him. Of course April had to help Dwight hold the little man. Robin and them were at Mom's along with Melissa. Robin held the little man and loved on him and talk about him. But Melissa did not even look at them she watch court TV while they were at Mom's and then when she got ready to leave she went out the back door to avoid going by them are even seeing them. She did not have a lot to say to me either. But you know that hurts me so much when they do me and my family that way. She does Mom the same way but yet she goes and eats supper with her after work so go figure that one out. Well enough I could go on but it is Christmas and I don't won't to get on that subject. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. May God Bless

Last Night and Tonight\My Day at The Dr.

2008-12-10T18:58:00.002-06:00

Last night was some more night as far as weather,me hurting,the dog. The weather was crazy last night I have to say. I was up and down all night long because I was hurting and the weather was not helping me. My legs and my back we hurting then Cookie got upset with the lighting, thunder, of yes the sever weather bell went off at the fire station which was fine. That made Cookie worse and I could not sleep for all of that plus the leg's and pain. When the weather changes like rain or cold it makes the hurt worse. So today I went in to see my Dr and sent me over to the hospital to get shot's in my leg's. So I have fell even worse tonight then I did last night. When get home and later this after noon I heard we may have some snow tonight so that does not help either. But just maybe I can sleep better since it will not be thundering or lighting tonight and Cookie will sleep better to. The Dr told me today this can only be treated with the shot's and medication because the back is pressing on a main nerve and you can not do surgery on this at all. Well Everyone take care and Keep Me in your Prayers.

Things around The Garrison House

2008-12-09T21:05:00.002-06:00

Well over the weekend we watch the SEC game we did not want to see the Tide lose the game against the Gator's but we did. Miles came over and watch it with use I ask him when he called if he was sure he wanted to watch it with us because I can get loud when I watch an Alabama game and he said yes. He told me that was part of watching the game with me because I get excited about the game and I do get loud he said be that made it more of a game he said. So we lost but that is OK we are going to the Sugar Bowl and that is OK with me. Then on Sunday night we had a good time at the Courington's. The party was a lot of fun as always and the food, company was the best as always a christian party is the best. April,Jason and the kids showed up and everyone was happy to see them they all fell in love with Brody. Everyone one said that he was a cutie. Well I think he looks like his Nana HA!HA! I know. It was great to see Mary Mary at the party to she is looking good. Joe and his partner had a great time to she enjoyed all the good food we had on hand to. They don't get the chance to have good home cooked food very often because they have to eat out all the time at work. So it makes it nice when they can get some good food instead of take out food. Well I heard on the news at six o'clock that a 70 year old woman from India had a baby I thought everyone might want to know this. I myself can not imagine having a child at seventy years of age. Well take care everyone and May God Bless All.

Brody Update/Other Things

2008-12-04T19:57:00.003-06:00

Well April took the Little Man to the Dr today he gained up to 8lb 1oz he got his first shot. Alissa went with April to help and I talk with her on the phone and she said he cried real tear's when he got his shot. She said they ran down his cheeks his face got all red to. I told her that she cried real bad to when so got her shots. So I wanted to spread the good word of the Little Man and let you all know he is getting fat. He will not be a month old until next Friday so he is doing great as far as getting to be a little chunky boy. Also I went to my Mom's on Tuesday to take my brother his tree he wanted a blue Christmas tree so I found him one. When we got to her house my youngest sis was at Mom's. She seen me coming I went in the front door and she ran out the back door to keep from seeing me she is mad at me for some reason. I don't know why she is acting the way she is toward me. But that is OK she can stay that way if she wants to. Tonight her and my older sis went and put a tree in Dad's room which is fine but they never as me to do anything with them. Robin does not have anything to do with me either and I think it all has to do with Dad and other things that I am not sure about. But I could go on and on about things but I do not need to do that. So I will end on a good note that is I hope that Alabama Win's the game Saturday. I do feel for the Auburn fans they get to feel what the Tide had to feel the past couple of years. Well Roll Tide Roll

Well I have This To Say About The Game

2008-11-30T14:19:00.002-06:00

We won the game number seven and I am so HAPPY HAPPY that we did because we do not have to listen to we beat you seven in a row. We don't have to see the seven in a row shirts are finger's. But the one thing we can say is we won and can brag about it for one year also that the Tiger's lost seven in a row this year and no bowl game for the Tiger's. But then as I have heard one team has to win and the other has to loose. I am so Happy Happy that The Tide won this and goes on the to the SEC game with Florida next Saturday. But it feels great to beat the Auburn Tiger's as always. So as my Hubby said oh face book there is a good Christmas song out there for the POOR TIGER'S and the is I'll Be Home For Christmas that fits those Tiger's well this year. Well all you Tiger fans I hope you get better soon while the TIDE FAN get to be a lot Happier this year and I can not wait to see some of the new T-I that will be out. I am going to get me one when I see it. This Tide Fan is very Happy Happy. Well I hope everyone had a great Turkey Dad and that you all were blessed on this Day with Family Being together.

Turkey Day Was Different

2008-11-28T20:41:00.002-06:00

This year Turkey Day was different around the house. I have never had to cook a full meal here at my house before.Instead on Turkey the boy's wanted fried chicken so I did that and made homemade gravy,sweet potato casserole,corn,green beans,mash potatoes,rolls. Joseph wanted the mash potatoes. So that was something new for me around here and I got sad because there was someone special missing this year. Then my Mom was sick so she did not fix lunch at all so that was also different.While I was cooking Robin called me to wish us a happy Turkey Day and she was mad because Mom had let me get him out and she could not. She said enjoy the time you get to spend with Dad at least she let you get him. But this is one thing I am able to do that no one else can do anymore get Dad out of the nursing home. Joe went and got him for me and that made me feel so good because Mom let me get him out and no one else. She does not trust any of the other girl's because they have been so rude to her and this is a nice way of putting it. I am the only one she trust anymore with Dad and just about anything else that goes on around her house. Well when Joe got to the house with Dad he was so happy to see us. Then about an hour are so later here came April and them. When those great great grand kids walk in he had the biggest smile to come on his face. Alissa gave him a big hug then April,Jason shook his hand. Then she ask him if he wanted to hold the baby and he said yea I hold him. He ask April what is the baby? She said what color does he have on he said pink April said no he has on blue and he is a boy not a girl. This is the only two great great grand kids he has ever seen and will see as long as he lives. My kids and Robin two boys are the only grand kids he will ever see because the others do not come around and see him at all. This is so sad to because it should not be this way but it is and I know I can not do anything about it either. I took Dad to see Mom before I got Ben to take him back to Cherry Hill. After Dad went back I put my Christmas tree up and put my other Christmas things up inside my house. Today we went and put Mom and Dwight tree up and made him happy. Then we fixed supper for Ben and now we are watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. Saturday is the big day Iron Bowl Day I hope that Alabama wins the game so when we go play Florida we will have not lost a game. So ROLL TIDE ROLL BEAT THE TIGER"S SO THEY CAN NOT SAY SEVEN IN A ROW PLEASE PLEASE BEAT THE TIGER'S!

Well The First Post in Couple Weeks

2008-11-25T19:56:00.002-06:00

Well it has been awhile since I posted anything because I have been so busy. When April and Brody came home I went to spend sometime with them and boy did I love every minute of it. I stayed until Wed. then I had to leave. But I did not want to leave I was enjoying my time with my daughter,son, and grand kids. I had to leave Wed because I had to get a shot in my leg's on Thursday morning so if it had not been for that I would have stayed the whole week. The time you spend with your kids and there families I think is so important. I love kids so much I miss sometimes having little ones around the house. When I went to leave last Wed we were playing a game of Apples to Apples and April told Jason Moms has to leave tomorrow and he put on a sad face. I thought that was so funny when he did that I think he likes me. Alissa is loves Brody so much and you can tell. But I think she is having a hard time sharing her Mom and Dad with Brody. But I know in time it will all work out for her and she will understand. Then on Saturday the Garrison Gang got together for Turkey day and we all had a great time. The little one and they family got to come also and that everyone loved seeing them. Then on Sunday after church I had to get ready and go back and stay until today with April and them. Monday Emily came over and we all enjoyed that we had so much fun. Emily and Alissa also I guess you could say me we are something else when we get together. I love to have fun with those little girl's I do things and they just laugh at me sometimes but what can I say that is just me. Then today I had to come home and check on Mom because she is sick and also I had to go and check on Dad. My Dad was OK he just needed a shave and just wanted to know how Mom was. Well I guess I better stop I could go on and on. I know I will be back up at April's and them house pretty soon because I can not stay away. May God Bless All. Have a great Thanksgiving and Roll Tide Roll on Saturday.

Great News for the Family

2008-11-12T11:26:00.002-06:00

Well last night about ll:30 Alissa called and said we are on the way to the hospital. I called Jason back and he said she was going to have the baby. So we got dressed and left the house and ahead to St. Vincent. When we got to the hospital she was in very good labor and she was ready for the I don't care stuff that they get. So they tired to let her have him but he just would not do what they wanted him to. So they ended up doing a c-section on her after all. He was born at 3:50 this morning and he weighed 7lbs and 6oz twenty inches long. He is so cute and they both are doing good. She is at ST.Vincent in room 339. We just got home about 11:00 this morning and we are going back this afternoon. We are so happy and Alissa,Jason are doing great and they are happy to. We have been blessed so far with two grand children and hope and pray to have many more to enjoy. We love our kids and there families so much we also love those grand kids so we can spoil them rotten and then send them home. Well take care and May God Bless I just had to let everyone know about our blessing we had today.

The Day That Will Make History and a Little More

2008-11-04T20:23:00.002-06:00

Well today I got rather slow then my Mom called and we went to vote. This is a very important day in our nation history. This could be a good election and then it could be a bad on and I think it is going to be bad. Then it can only go down hill from here if Obama gets to be President I do not look forward to this at all. It is bad enough as is and we do not need anymore high prices or taxes. Well on with my day after we went to vote. Dad had to have blood work done so I had all three of my older kids with me today and that was a lot of fun. For once I had no fussing and that was great because that made the day a lot better. Then after the blood work we went to the Dollar General store as Dwight says we brought his groceries while we were out. He will tell you he pays for the grocery's . He loves banana pudding and that is all he talk about was that pudding. Then we took Dad back to Cherry Hill and he told Mom before she left give me a kiss and kept saying I want another kiss. So I said let me go out of the room where he can give you a good old kiss good bye. Then we get out in the hall away and he told Mom he wanted another kiss and a nurse was standing at the desk and said he is so sweet give him a kiss so she did. I can not help but laugh at them when he starts saying give me a kiss. Well while I was at Walgreen with Mom picking her medicine up I got a call from April. She was on her way to the Dr for her apt. she said that she could tell the baby had dropped. When she got to the Dr and they check her out they could feel his head and her feet were swollen real good. She said I waddle real bad now worse then I did. So she goes back next Tuesday and they do an Ultra Sound and check her again it does not sound like she has long to go at all. She says she does not have but four weeks to go. Well everyone take care and see you Wednesday night and May God Bless All.

A Little Short Update on Me

2008-10-30T15:37:00.002-05:00

Well I went to the ER last night with my leg and they did a CT Scan,blood work and check out the leg and said that I did not have a clot in my right leg where I had the Atria Gram done last week. That was great so Dr Sibley told the Dr to tell me come in and see him today and they gave me a script for some strong pain med. Then today I went to see Dr Sibley and they did an ultra sound on my leg and did not find any clots in my leg said that I just had a hemotoma on my leg. If it was not any better by next week to call him and talk with him they would have to send me to a vascular surgeon to let them check things out. I am going to stay off of my leg for a couple of days and take my pain me when I need it because it is very painful to move are sit. So keep me in your prayers that it will get better and they will not have to do anything further with my leg. May God Bless All

A Little This and That

2008-10-28T11:51:00.002-05:00

The Baby Shower was great on Sunday and April got some wonderful gifts. We all had fun with everything when we got it to her house. I have never seen so many cute things from outfits to blanket's. Home made things oh so cute and special you can hold on to those forever so they can use them with there on children when they have some. April has a blanket that Miss Pool made that is Myra mother and I used it with all three of mine Alissa and now Brody will get to use it. Well April called Jo on the Beach and told him to get her the stroller she wanted from Babies R US so I am going to go with him if he does get it for I think he will. This little boy does not stand a chance around here. Well Jo came home yesterday from his trip and he had a great time he said the beach was very nice and pretty to. Today I have to take my Dad to the Dr so I will be busy this afternoon with him he is doing OK but I think he is getting worse all the time. Well Ben called me this morning and told me that Rachel Grandfather passed away this morning at l:30. So keep her and the family in your prayer's as they go through this sad time. I don't when Ben and Rachel are leaving but I sure it will be sometime this week. Well everyone have a great week and May God Bless all see everyone Wednesday night. I am so happy about Mary Mary getting stronger all the time. She has done so great during all of this and May God Bless her more and more each day as she gets better.

A Little More From Yesterday

2008-10-24T11:58:00.003-05:00

Well I forgot to tell this yesterday in my blog when I got into the room where they did the test on my Heart. They had a radio on and it was playing one of Carrie Underwood song's and the song was Jesus Take The Wheel I was like wow what a song to be playing when I was having this test done. I was like what a more perfect song to be playing when you are having a test done it's like Jesus is at the wheel when you are going through things that you are not sure about. This was just something I had to add because this is a song that I like very much. The song even brought tears to my eyes. Well just had to add this on since I was not thinking very clear last night and left this off. Today is a better day I fell some better it still hurts to move around. I have to get out Saturday and get somethings for the shower and try to find something to wear also. Well hope to see everyone on Sunday.

Update On Me and April

2008-10-23T19:15:00.002-05:00

Well I had my Atria Gram done today and everything look great and normal like it should. Of course I got headache because I was stressed,worried and you name it. So I got two shot's before I left the hospital . I got to come home around two o'clock and boy I sure do feel bad. I just wanted to set up for awhile I choice to write on my blog. My left arm looks like someone beat it up and my right arm has two places on it. The IV and blood work came out of my right arm. The left arm they try ed and the veins just did not want to work. My right leg looks like it has been in a battle and the leg lost. But the thigh is where they stuck me in order to do the test on my heart. Well I am at home and still just moving slowly,I have to stay home for two days. I can not lift any thing over ten Pound's. Well I will be at the baby shower on Sunday and I am so happy about that. I can not wait until I see that little baby it sure will be nice. April went to the Dr and he said about six more weeks. So anytime after the first of November we will be looking for the baby to come or Mr. Brody Jackson. We are watching between Survivor and the Football game. Well take care and I will see you all Sunday. May God Bless and Take Care.

Things Going On

2008-10-21T13:36:00.002-05:00

Well Friday night I had Emily to come over for the weekend and that was great I always enjoy her coming to the house. Then on Saturday I meet April at Target in Fulton dale and got Alissa then I took them shopping for a little while. Not long because I got tired of walking and we left and came home. Then when I got home we cooked supper Kent and I did because we had Taco's the most simple thing I could think of. After that Kent went to clean the Bldg. then I cleaned up and started to work on lunch for Sunday. Then on Sunday morning it come time to get Alissa and Emily up Joseph took the Trumpet up stairs and got the girl's up. Then when we got finished eating at church Brianna came over to the house with Emily and they kept me laughing all day long. Well on Monday I had Dr apt's with my parent's and brother so that made me tired and just not feeling well when I got home. We thought my Mom's car had caught on fire so Mom said call the fire dept so I did and the guy that fixed Mom's air in her car had got some on the motor of the car and it started smoking but it look like the care was on fire. So when Kent got home he had to go and check on her car for her so she could do some things today so I would not have to get back out again today. Because I will be gone most the day on Wed. I have a Dr's apt and then an MRI,X-ray on my neck so Wed is going to be busy for me. Then on Thursday I will have an Artier Gram done on my Heart. So keep me in your prayer's Thursday that things will go well. May God Bless All. Oh by the way Denise is my Brother's OPT and she told my Mom today that she got a new grandson last night and she would be going to see him in T'Town this weekend. She told Mom that gave her ten grand kids five girl's and five boy's. Well see everyone tonight at church for another good lesson from Kerry.

What is Going on With Me

2008-10-16T12:07:00.002-05:00

Well I went back to see Dr. Johnson about my legs again and he told me I had peripheral neuropathy in my legs and boy does it hurt. Yesterday I could not hardly walk or drive over to the Dr's Office as I was waiting on the ride up to his office well my legs got weak on me. So when I got back to see him he sent me to have a block done in my legs. I was hurting so bad they gave me something to make me sleep also something for pain. When they were done I still was in alto of pain so they gave me three shot's of Demerol and before I left they gave me two darvecet. I am one of those that just can not take a lot pain and takes a lot to make the pain go away. When we got home it was about five o'clock I think. I just know I did not care what was going on around the house last night. I keep on having shortness of breath and dizziness,light headed, so they are going to do an Artial Gram next Thursday just to make sure that I have nothing else going on with my heart. I have to get myself back together because I have a lot to look forward too in the next month are so. I also have to get an MRI,X-ray on my neck on the 22nd of this month because it is giving me trouble. So next week I have a busy week not with just myself but my brother has to have lab work Dad has a Dr's apt so it just does not stop sometimes. Well take care and May God Bless All.

He is at Mom's this weekend because he got a three day pass. It is going ok he has to be back at three on Sunday thank goodness for that. Well I am so happy for my friend Mary Mary that she is doing so good after her liver transplant. She is already in a room and this is great news because at first they said it would be awhile. You just never know how things are going to be until things are all over with. Well we had to get a new dish washer my went out on me and Kent could not fix it. So we went to Mazer's and got one while we were at Mazer's I found an over the stove Microwave and we got one of those to. So out of the two the dish washer went fine but Kent is having to work harder on the microwave oven. He has been cutting on my cabinest so it will fit but it will look nice when he get's it in. I have always wanted one so I can have some more counter space and we needed to update because we are talking about selling our house. I want to move closer to my grand kid's so I can help take care of them. Today my leg's are killing me when I stand up on them so I have been sitting alot today and just doing what I have to.

The Baby's Name

2008-10-04T19:49:00.002-05:00

Well this is as close as you will get to the name BJC which is not the name all the way. But if you know baby names at all this will be very easy for you to guess. I have to make it all little fun for me don't won't to make it to easy for you. We went to a place today which was fun called Painted by You over by T'RUS. I went with April and some of the ladies that she goes to church with and then we went to eat. While we were eating one of the girl's spoke up and said she was having another baby she has one I think 2 1/2, the other one is not eighteen mos. old yet she is due in May. While we were eating April told them she was going to have another one this was not going to be her last. I did not get to watch the Alabama game but I do know they won and hurt themselves with pen tiles. Then when I finally get home in time to see the Auburn Tiger's fighting to win and I do know that Vandy is going to beat those Tiger's fourteen to thirteen. I know Bama did not play that well but at least we did win. But I have to say there has to be a winner and a looser. Well see everyone tommorrow. May Bod Bless.

A Little From The Garrison House

2008-10-03T13:33:00.002-05:00

Well things have been better around here the past couple of day's. Monday and Tuesday went well around here I went to see my Dad on Tuesday and I walk in the room Dad said where have you been. I told him I have not been feeling well and in the hospital then came out and had to have some test done. Then he told me that right I remember now that what's someone one told me. The next question was where is your Mom and brother why did they not come with you? I told him that Dwight can not walk yet and Mom is still recovering from staying with him while he was in the hospital. We got on another subject I told him about the kid's and how they were doing. I told him that April was getting bigger and that baby was so sweet on the four D he just smiled when I said something about the baby. Then he got quite and did not talk anymore so I said I am going to go I got somethings to do. He told me to tell Mom and Dwight that he loved them. I said I will then he said I love you and take care. Well on Wed. Mom ask me to come and help wash Dwight hair so I went up to the house to be an assistant in the washing. When we got through eating supper me and Mom got to work on his hair. This turned out to be very funny he started getting sick and Mom said go ahead I just take you to the hospital and let the Dr's take care of you when I get finished. Well when she finished he was OK mad but done with Mom for the rest of the night. On Thursday he had to go to the Dr and Kent came and help us get him in the van to go to the Dr. While we were riding he told me that he was going to tell the Dr on Mom for washing his hair that was so funny. I talk with April today and she is doing fine her shower is 10-26 at 2:00 until 4:00 in the afternoon. She has seven and half weeks to go she says but I think he will be here before Dec. 2ND. Alissa is doing good she is taking violin lessons at school and she is enjoying this very much. Alissa is a AB student in school and she loves her teacher this year. Well my other kid's are doing great as far as I know. I talk with my sister today she still has to do chemo once month for six more months, but other then that she is doing OK. Joe went to eat with Daniel for lunch today that saves me having to listen to him what are we going to do for lunch.

My Dr.'s Sec. Called with My Test Report

2008-09-29T15:12:00.002-05:00

Well she called and said that the test came back good,Dr. Sibley is going to see me again on 10-13 at 9:00 in the morning. I a happy with all of the out come of the test. But what I don't understand is why did the Dr. at the other hospital told me what he did about my heart. But I know that you don't ask why things happen you just take all the good news's you can get and go on about your life. I just don't won't what happened to me about 3 week's ago to happen again. I just have to much to look forward to their is a new grand baby coming plus my very pretty grand daughter that I already have. I love my family so much and I want to be here for them so it just scares me to think that it could happen again. So I have to think about what I am doing and take very good care of myself so I can do all the things that I want to in the future. We have a new truck and we are going to buy use a Travel Trailer and then we are going to start traveling when ever we can. My Mom has her car fixed now and she can drive herself anywhere her and my brother want to go once he gets his straight back. They are working on that now with a PT coming to the house so this is good for my brother. Well just wanted to let everyone know just pass it all around. May God Bless All!

Today and My Test

2008-09-26T20:45:00.003-05:00

Today I got up at 5:30 to be at the hospital for my Thilluim Test at 7:00 this was early for me because I don't get up until around nine thirty so this was early for me. Well when I got to where they did the test I had to reg. first the they started an IV so they could put some medicine in when they took a picture of my heart. Then the other was put in when I ran on treadmill and boy was the ruff. Kent went up and stated to work but he left his number in case they needed him. Well I started getting a headache because I had nothing to eat and I could not get anything for my head. I was so tired after all the work and the X-Ray on my heart with the stuff that makes your heart glow. So after all the test work was done I did not find out anything so we left and went to eat thinking that might help me some. It did not help my head got to hurting worse we came home to see if it would stop. It just kept on hurting so we ended back over at then hospital for me to get a shot for my head. I am still very tired and I can not wait until Monday to find out what is going on with me. Kent thinks I will have to have a stint put in because something is making me get out of breath and tired all the time and I just don't feel like doing anything at all. Well everyone take care and keep me in your prayer's that everything is all right for me.

Short Up Date On Me

2008-09-25T21:46:00.002-05:00

Well I went to see Dr. Sibley today and he had all my test that I had done over at Trinity Medical . He told me that I did have a Small stroke and also that I had a blockage somewhere in my heart. So on Friday they are going to do a Thallium Stress Test on me to see what they need to do for me. I trust Dr. Sibley he is a very good Cari do Dr he takes care of my Dad and took care of Grandmother. I told him I would feel alto better with him running the test then the Dr that did all the other test when I was in the other hospital. So I just wanted to give a little update on myself. So keep me in you prayer's on Friday. I Will see everyone on Sunday and will update everyone at that time.

Today was A Happy Day

2008-09-23T18:57:00.002-05:00

I went with April to the Dr. again they did a four-D CD and picture's on the baby. We got to see the little guy before he was born. They measured April and said she was 34 week's I better not tell you how much she weighs because she Read's my blog. Well this was the sweetest thing I have ever seen with this 4-D picture you could tell every little detail about him. Yes this is a little boy after today there is no doubt in our minds this is a boy. He is so cute we saw his hands all the time because he kept them in front of his face just about all the time. Well we kept looking at him and he gave us a smile twice and that is on the picture's and the CD. The smile was just to sweet it was like he heard my voice oh did I say my voice I meant April's voice. At one time he had his feet and hand's in face he so much wanted that girl to leave him alone. Alissa loved seeing it all until it came to where he was showing his bottom off and she said that is gross. So we for sure know it is a little boy. Well I for once had to pass along some Happy News instead of the same old thing all the time. It is nice to talk about Happy News when you are going to be a grand parent and maybe it will be before December. Well Everyone Take Care and May God Bless

Up Date Around Here\ A BIG ROLL TIDE ALSO!

2008-09-22T11:33:00.002-05:00

Well my brother went back in the hospital on Saturday because he had another blockage but he is getting to come home again today. Yesterday I stayed with my brother while my Mom came home for awhile. Then my oldest sister showed up and she did not say one word to me while she was in the room. She act like I was not in the room she just talk with Dwight and that was it,she did not ask me any question about what the Dr's had said. But she was only in the room for and hour thank goodness for that. Who knows what her problem is with me as guess it is because I am with Mom on whatever she wants to do. But that is OK I don't care what the other three think this is me and it is how I am going to be for the rest of my life. So this is good for my brother and they are going to send a Physical Therapist out for my brother so that they can help him build back up his strength to walk again. Because he is so weak after laying in the bed for so long he has little are no strentght. When Joseph and I left the hospital yesterday we went to church with April and them we enjoyed that very much. Kent then showed up and that made Alissa even more happier. April,Joe started was talking to me and telling me Mom you need to take care of yourself and I know that. But sometimes you just don't know how things are going until something happens and then it scares you half to death. I would have never thought of anything like what happen to me would have happened when it did. You just never know what can happen to you when you have alto going on in your life. I go to the Dr on Thursday to see what did happen to me the Dr is getting all my test that I had done in the hospital. I trust Dr. Sibley more then I do the Dr's I seen at the other hospital. Well I have alto to look forward to I am getting a new grandson in not to many more month's. Alissa is growing up so fast I don't know what to do with her but I think she will be a big help with her baby brother. Kent has been my rock for me with everything that I have had going on. I love this man so much he is very understanding and very helpful and supporting husband. Well everyone keep me in your prayer's that everything will be all right with me. May God Bless All!

Things Around My House

2008-09-16T15:50:00.002-05:00

Well my brother is still in the hospital we thought he was coming today. But they did some more blood work so he has not got to come home yet. Then on Friday I went to PT and after that I started feeling bad. Joe and I stop by to get us something to eat and I thought I was going to pass out. Then when I got home I took my blood pressure and it was high the I started getting weak. Joe called his buddies at the fire station and they came to the house and check me out blood pressure and sugar. Blood pressure was still high and my sugar was low. Then I started sluring my speech and I new that was not good. They had to pick me up and put me on the bed to carring me out of the house to the ambulance. We had to go over to Montclair because Princeton was very busy. So when I got over to the hospital they did an MRI,Cat Scan and Blood Work. After all the test the Dr. in the ER said I had a Mini Stroke. So they put me in the hospital to watch me for a couple of days and did some more test work. About 12:00 in the night they came and go me for another Cat Scan with the stuff in it the makes you glow like a light blub also they did a MRI on me so I did not get to go to sleep until late and then it took me forever to go to sleep. I did not sleep good at all because they kept leaving my door open and the man across the hall called out for the nurse about the time I would get to sleep. I kept a headache until Sunday and it finally went away thank goodness. I had blood work all night long on Friday night even into Saturday morning. Then on Monday they did a test on my heart where they had to put me to sleep to look at my heart and my arties. I found out before I left that I had some blockage in left artire,and my heart was not pumping like it was suppose to. So next week I am going to see Dr Sibley with these problems. Get another opinnion it never hurts to get more advice from someone else that you know real well. Well keep me in your prayers while I am going through all of this to see what it going on with me. I have to admit I was scared about everything that was going with me. Well the one thing that did Cheer Me Up Some was That Alabama Won Their Gama. But I watch Auburn play and I felt like I was watching a Base Ball game instead a Football game. Well May God Bless All and Have a Blessed Day.

How Things Are Going

2008-09-03T21:09:00.002-05:00

Well I started out over the weekend Saturday I spent the day with my brother so my Mom could come home and do somethings and take care of her bills. Also so she could just get away from the hospital for a while. We got her car fixed so she now has a way to get around. When she ask anyone else they tell her this is Phyllis job. Same way with taking care of her pet's and anything else that needs to be done for her. So being me I just do it and think nothing of it but one day things will come back and haunt them. So I stayed at the hospital until 6:oo on Saturday and made it home to see a great game on TV that watch Alabama win their first game and that was great. We thought Dwight was coming home today but he got sick again so he will be in the hospital a little while longer. On Monday we work out in the yard and Kent grilled some ribs on the grill. April,Jason,Alissa,Miles came over and ate with us and Joe was even off from work we had a great meal and a great time. Then we saw the old Tennessee get beat by UCLA and boy was I happy to see them get beat. Today I heard that Alabama is number number seventeen which is better then were we started off at. Joe went to school last night and they were using it has a shelter for the Hurrican people and he had to come back because they were not having class. I went to the nursing home today to see Dad and he was in there church service so I did not talk with him today because he does not come out of his room much. I have to take care of his clothes because just like everything else no one else will help with that either. Well Dwight has a birthday coming up on the 7th he will be 50 years old. Kent has a birthday on the eight and he will be 55 years old then on the 20th Dad has a birthday and he will be 78 years old. April and Jason anniversary is on the 14th of this month. Mom and Dad's 60th Anniversary was on Monday that is hard to believe that they have been married for 60 years.

Things Around Here

2008-08-26T12:27:00.002-05:00

Well things are here have been good some days and others were not so good. The ringing in my ears is much better and that is great for me my back is some better but I have alot of pain in my leg's still and I do not like that at all. It just hurt's across the front of them I think there is something elso going on with my leg's. I go see Dr Fennel on Thursday and I am going to talk with him about my leg's. I have been feeling tired,blood pressure has been up and my sugar has to so I think something else is going on I just don't know what. I went to April's on Saturday and help her and Becky with the babies room and it looks so cute. Becky made curtains out of some little receving blanket's she just hung them over the rod and they look so cute. Then she took two of the blanket's and made a dust ruffle for the bed and took saftey pins a fasten it to the matters frame. It looks so cute and then they made a bulletin board for the room also so that took all day long to do that. But we had so much fun together working on the project the colors are Dark Brown sort of a sky blue mabe a little darker. The baby bed is white now we like a little chess/changeing table,rocker with foot stoll that moves then she will be ready for that little Tater. Then while I was at April's Kent had to go out to Cherry Hill and see Dad because they called the house. When I got home they called me that night and they had to add another med for Dad and he seems to doing better and not as confused also they put a bracelet on his ankle to keep him from getting out without them knowing. Well my brother is doing so better but he will be in the hospital for awhile until he eats a good meal to see if he can keep food down. Then they have already talk to Mom about getting some help in until he gets stronger. Which my Mom can use the help until he gets strong enough for her to take care of. Robin told her he needed to go in a nursing home but that will never happen so long as my Mom can take care of him. Melissa has not help any since he has been in the hospital take a guess who has done all the work. I had to go Sunday because she said I could do it she had other things to do beside set at the hospital. So I went and help out of course I will do whatever to help my Mom. I am not like the other three. Well everyone take care and I can not wait until 9-06-08 for ladies day. My brother will be 50 years old on the 7th of this month he has live longer than they said he would. May God Bless All Keep us in you Prayer's.

When I Thought Things Were Getting Better

2008-08-18T21:18:00.002-05:00

It was not a goodday yesterday after I left the nursing home at 4:3o I thought things were fine. Robin was their with the boys and Kent and I droped of some clean clothes and got the dirty duds. It was so hot we did not stay long I was putting things up so I kept getting hotter. Well while we were their Dad said are you taking me home I said no you are at home this is what I always say to him. I told him this is the best place for you. But I could see out of the corner of my eye that Robin did not like what I said. Then she said Chase are you going to play a game with you Papa but Chase never did he kept on talking to Trey. Then I check with the nurse at the desk about his appt. on Monday and she said they would have him ready. Robin kept on asking me about the time and I would never tell her because when she goes she does nothing but in when you are trying to talk with Dr. But other then that I don't know what went wrong after I left. Because when I got in from church my Mom called me and said what happened at the nursing home I told her I don't know what you are talking about everything was fine when I left. She said Melissa came in and told her that I upset her while I was out at the nursing home. Then I told her what happen and she said I figured that but Melissa said it was Mom fault to. She said how could you take her Dad away from her knowing she has cancer. Mom told her said I had an blood clot on my brain how do you think I felt. Melissa was eleven when this happen to Mom so she does not remmber any of the heart ache we went through with Mom,plus she had a stroke at the same time so she has been through alot and more. But I know what Robin has is bad don't get me wrong I feel for her all the time. But they are going to have to let up on me and Mom both. But today he went to the Dr and he is doing great expect he has gained some weight. So they will find out as little as possible from me and no more they just need to leave Mom alone. So I guess if someone how are things going I will say OK because I don't know when things are going to go wrong. So enough of that,April,Alissa and Jason worked on Tater's room painted got the bed up. Then we still have the toy box,rocking chair,shelf,Chest and what ever else there needs to be. Well take care and May God Bless Keep us all in your Prayers.

Well My Day Today\By Myself Not Normal

2008-08-12T19:14:00.002-05:00

Today was this first time I went to the Dr by myself most of the time someone is with me either Dad are the other 2. So this was different and this is good for me. The first Dr visit I had to go to the hearing Dr and get my hearing ads. Not that I can not hear it is the ringing in my ears that is driving me nuts. They told me that these hearing ads would help the ringing in my ears boy I could tell a difference the minute they got put in and the adjustments made. I no longer so far hear a ringing in my ears. This is great because it was driving me crazy and that does not take me to far to get their these days. I go back next week to have more adjustments made and to see if they have been helping. I have to take them out at night,taking a shower or swiming they can not go in that much water. So keep me in your prayers that this helps me with the ringing. The next stop was to have my neck and shoulder and had check out on the left arm. The Dr said he was going to start with PT. Before he did anything else which I will do what ever it takes for it to get better. Well on Thursday I am having a block done on my back I have not had one in my back since January and this is good for me. So maybe I will start getting a good nights rest and moving around better. Also pray for me on Thursday that everything goes well for when they do the block. Well Dad is still doing good at Cherry Hill he is doing great in PT twice a day. He called Mom the other day and said come get me and that was it then he hung up. Kent work in Mom's yard yesterday again trying to get it to look better. The back yard is going to be a big project he is going to have to get some help doing it because it is in such a mess. Well I hope I will see everyone Wed. night if I get a good nights sleep. May God Bless All.

How Things Are Going Around My House

2008-08-11T21:49:00.002-05:00

Well since we got back from the Beach it has still been busy for me but I think things are slowing down a bit for me now. Last week was Dr. Appt's for my Dad and they all three were due for a hair cut so we got that done. I tell you it is just like being out with three kids when I take all three of them off some where. I have to get Dad from his room and put him in and put the seat belt on just like you would a kid. Then I get in and off we go to the Dr. Dad does not say a whole lot at all when he is Mom and I. It use to be a fight and fuss just to get them all in the van and all the way to where ever we were going at the time. When we get to where we are going I have to open the back of the van get the walker out for Dad the wheel chair out for Dwight. Thank goodness Mom does not use anything that she has to walk with. I get Dwight out and put him in the wheel chair,give Dad his walker and off we go to the Dr. When we come out it is put Dwight in and put Dad in make sure they both have their seat belt's on. Off we go if it is lunch time we have to stop at McDonalds because Dwight loves the Fish Sandwhiches so that is where we do lunch ever time we are out at lunch time. Then we go back Cherry Hill and take Dad back in to his room he tells me and Mom that he wants to go home. I tell him this is your home now and this is where you stay from now on. This is the best thing for Dad he gets excerise twice a day and this is great for him because his walking is getting better all the time. My Mom and my brother are doing much better now and so am I. The other three are mad but who cares they did not help out anyhow so they do not matter. Well Tuesday I have two Dr appt's and one Thursday. The one on Thursday I will be getting a block in my back so I can stop hurting so bad and get some sleep at night. On Friday Robin get's the results on her MRI that she had done while we were out of town. Keep her and all my family in your prayers as we go through all these things together. Well April is getting more rounder by each passing day that goes by and Alissa starts to school on Wed and she has a man teacher this year so this will be different for her. Well Joe starts back to school on the 26th of this month and he is going to Daniel and Mandie's Friday. Well enough for now everyone take care and have a Bless Week and May God Bless All.

A Little Here and A Little From The Beach Vacation

2008-08-03T22:44:00.002-05:00

I write in blue because of the little Tater that is on the way and we can not wait until he gets here so we can hold him instead of April holding him all the time. But he needs to cook a little longer. Well before i went to the Beach we had to put Dad in Cherry Hill Nursing Home where he is in room 215 and he is doing good out at Cherry Hill. If you are ever out their stop by and see him he would enjoy the visit. It was the hardest thing to do but it was best for him and this is a weight off of me and my Mom I can go off and not worry about things when I am gone. But we have problems with the other 3 but that is ok they just don't want to understand things and that is there problem. Well on to another subject that is much happier I had a birthday on the Saturday we left for the beach my hubby gave me some mone which I brought a neckles with while we were on vacation. Before we left April took me for a spa treatment and that felt great and then we had our toe nails painted and we just had a girls day out and that was fun. Well back to the beach it was alot of fun we had a great house it was on the bay side which was fine with us. We were not to far from the beach at all. On Saturday night we went out to eat at the Warf Resturant I think was the name of it for my B-day and April told them it was my B-Day and before we left they brought a cake to the table and sang Happy Birthday to me. Then one night we ate at our most wanted to eat at place which was Lambert's and it was great it will fill you up so if you are ever in Gulf Shores go to eat there but go hungery. One day we went to the beach and had to leave because of the Jelly Fish they were bad. Alissa caught a very nice size crab in her sand bucket. We swim at the pool where we stayed and that was nice we kept the girls busy all the time are April and Jason did. Katlyn went with us that was Jason brother's little girl. One night they went and played putt putt and we stayed at the house and watch a move. We had some funny times while we were gone and enjoyed the time away. April look so funny out in the water on a float with the tummy in the air. We took picture's one evening on the beach and we got some good ones. Went shopping also can not go to the beach with out doing that I got the baby somethings and brought Alissa an outfit. Well on Saturday we came home but we did not want to but all things must come to an End as they say. Well at church on Sunday morning Ben told me he had my birthday present for me and wanted to give it to me after church. Well he did and I was suprised at what he gave me it was an Angel off of the plant that his office had sent to his Grandmother and that was so touching to me. He just does not know how much that means to me. He said well Mom I know you like Angels which I do and this is why he gave me the Angel but it was just the fact that it came off of Grandmothers flower that made me cry and it was a sweet of him to give it to me. You just never know what your kids are going to give you. Well take care and May God Bless All. Keep my family in your prayers as we are still having family problems.

A Short One for Today

2008-07-21T09:13:00.002-05:00

Well today is going to be a busy one for me again I will be happy when they slow down. Maybe today we will find out if Dad is going to Cherry Hill. He is doing fine so long as he is not at home with Mom. Robin went to see him Saturday and said he had no clean clothes but I know he did because Mom and I took him some on Friday. Robin told Mom she went to JC Pennys and got him some things from there because she did not want him wearing Walmart things while he was in the hospital. She has been so bad during this whole thing she does not want him to go to Cherry Hill at all. Robin has gotten where she use her cancer as a pitty card,she will start crying just to get her way about things. Robin told me this herself that she starts crying around Mom so she can get her way about things. I told Mom what she was doing and she said that is not right and I dont' like it either. I hate that she has cancer but she should not use it anyway to get things done her way my Mom said that was not going to work. Because she has to do this for Dad and he is been wanting to go for along time. Well I am going to do what ever to help my Mom and I am for what she want's to do. well I am leaving Saturday for vacation and I can not wait. Well take care everyone and keep us all in your prayers.

A Little Here and There

2008-07-14T16:52:00.002-05:00

Well another week has started and it got off to to a ruff one. It all started Saturday with Dad running of from Mom's and coming to my house. Then when he got here he had a wild look on his face told me to call Robin and tell her to come and get him. Because he was not going back home and stay anymore so she came and got him and took him home with her. But we had to go and get his med's before he could leave and go with her. Well he had already pack his clothes in a trash bag, all he had was t-shirts,underwear,socks and that is all he had. So we had to go up to Mom's and get his things together so he could leave with Bill and Robin. While we were in the house Bill went out to check and see if he had to use the bathroom and he said no, but in the mean while Bill came back in he got out of the SUV and used the bathroom outside the door. When Bill ask him why did you do that he said I did not wait to go inside and face her as in my Mom. So now she has to make a decesion as what she want's to do so she is going to put him in at Lakeshore for 21 days so they can work with him on his walking. So he will be there while we are on vacation I hope if the Dr approves the stay. But he will be home Tuesday and I am very worried because I am afraide someone is going to get hurt at home and I don't want that happening. None of us do as far as that goes. Well Alissa is going to camp Sunday Billy Hayes will be there at ICYC next Sunday. Then when she comes home we will be going to the beach for 7 days and we all can not wait. But Joe will be at home again going to work and school which he will be happy when school is all over with which will be next August. Then he will be finished and on his way to doing the thing he loves to do contiue saving lives. One night he work in the ER At Walker and he stuck 4 people in a row. So he is very busy person and does not have a whole lot of time for much of anyting. Well I have Alissa here today we have try to play but the phone won't quit ringing because I have had to make so many calls. So now I am going to fix supper for use so we can eat talk more maybe Tuesday I don't know. So keep my family and I in your prayers. May God Bless All

Going Home\The Week

2008-07-11T10:28:00.002-05:00

Well we are going home today it has been some more week. Kent went to class and during the day I would get up and eat breakfast the go to the mall. I have never seen a tunnel go under the road that leads you to the mall. That was neat because I could get out and walk everyday. I got me some things,Alissa and Little Tater some things. For you that don't know Kent,Joe and I call the baby Tater that is until we get a name. Kent said this may become it is nick name even when we get a game. The people around here drive worse then they do at home and that is very scary. But cops are just around every corner and they always catch someone and then there is those camers above the red lights that will always catch you. Those little strip malls are everywhere that you look around here but most of the stores are not open. You have no signs up high like we do at home so you can see where things are they are down low on a brick wall,even the lowes around here is made out of brick unlike the one at home. People around here walk the sidewalks a lot and ride bikes,when you enter a houseing area are apartment area they all have names and listed on a brick wall. You can not see the houseing area from the road because of the trees and bushes around them it is fixed up so nice. It remind me of when we went to West Palm Beach it was the same way. Last night by the way it took us an hour and half just to get to the Olive Garden the traffic was just that bad worst then home. On the way back to the hotel I called April to see what they were up to and about that time I went Oh No! this Lady almost hit us on the driver's side. April said what is going on Mom I said Oh we almost got hit by this lady. I ask her if she was feeding Tater and what they were eating she said they were at Outback I told she better feed Tater,herself and tell Jason to also. Well Alissa was at Nannie's house and she is going to our camp on the sevententh with Malissa and her girl's so I think that is good for her. Well I guess I had better go Kent will be here in a few and he will be packing and ready to go so am I. May God Bless All,have a great weekend.

One From Georgia\Last Week and This Week

2008-07-07T08:46:00.002-05:00

Well I never new how busy a person could be going from one place to another until now. Last week we were at T'Hill for a couple of days. It was nice but it sure got hot some days. Myra and Tim camp across the way from us. Gayla and Kevin the kids Keith camped behind us it sure made for a very wild stay. But we all had a good time the girls played in the water with Dalton they watch movies and had a great time. We ate together on Thursday night and that was fun grilling out camping seems to taste different. One day Alissa was in the water playing and she came running up to her Papa and said I got a fish can we cook it. We both looked at and that fish is dead and we can not cook him so I told her to put him back in the water. We also each had a bike and we rode the bikes alot while we were at T'Hill. On the fourth we went and ate with my family we did not have a whole lot of people this year I think it was just to hot. I know that me and April both got to hot because we both went in our trailer and went to sleep. Well April took a ride on the bike and then I found out she had also went for a ride on the four wheeler. Well I guess now days things are different. Well we came home Sat. and I started washing clothes and packing again to come to Georgia. First I had to go and get a few things from the store, well I could not keep myself from buying some things for the little boy are as we call him (Tater). I got 3 little ones which one of them said What happens at Grandmas stays at Grandmas house, the other one said Born in 2008, the last one said I love my Mommie. I also got some socks on sell and a jacket to so I thought that was good. Then I got Alissa some folders and pencils for school One had HSM on it and the other had Hannah Montanna , then I found some pencils with Hannah Montanna on them. Alissa like them when I talk with her even if they were for school. Well Kent and I are here in Georgia he is at work and I am well you know. It is a nice area and we have a Mall across the street and next to the Hotel. Well more later everyone have a nice week and May God Bless Everyone.

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

2008-06-29T17:08:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-22T15:57:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-14T15:12:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-11T11:59:00.003-05:00

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

2008-06-09T13:46:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-06T20:24:00.003-05:00

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

2008-06-06T20:03:00.002-05:00

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

2008-06-03T21:16:00.002-05:00

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!

A little Something From Alissa

2008-05-30T20:30:00.002-05:00

She had to write a story about a sport she like to do which was Softball. She had to make a table of contents and she had to write something about herself. Then a short story about the sport and why she like it. This is just a couple of things that was in the short little story that she wrote. What she wrote was funny because she is still learning how to spell words. Which I am not the greatest speller in the world. Well here we go I hope you enjoy this little bit of cheer from her.
The First One is called Just A Kid Sometimes I feel like a softball hard and mean. Sometimes I feel like a coch(Coach) feels in charg(charge) and in place. Sometimes I feel like the coke sweet and good. And last but not least I feel like a kid. The second part I like was this one The Dug out Softball is a game for girls onley(only) exsept(expect) for coches(coaches). If your a boy and play softball. Us girls will chase you out. And if your cute well (will) tackle you down and keep you for bait. I hope you all enjoy these little saying that she did all on her own we are so proud of her and she is growing up so fast because next year she will be in the 4th grade which is hard to think about. She will be a big sis soon and she is very happy about that she said if it is a boy she is going to call him stinkey. Joseph told her that he will call her stinker if it was a boy. We all can not wait until the new babie gets here. Well take care and May God Bless.

I have never seen it so full like this and I have been their a lot. Kids were every where down their and riding bikes all over the place. One day I was driving up to the bathroom and one little boy just pulled over in front of me and I almost hit him. I have never been so mad at a child he needed adult supervison with which he did not have. Kevin,Gayla,Keith and the kids were there also and we grilled out together and we enjoyed our time together because we do not see them that much. Alissa,Emily was with us as always which we love having them very much and they road bikes all the time. On Sat. April,Jason,Myra,Tim,Gayla,Kevin we all got together and grilled chicken. We had a lot of fun doing this together and watching the kids play. Well we came home on Monday and Kent got ready to go to Mississippi and work then I came to Aprils house to keep Alissa at home for the week it is so peaceful around here. When we got home we found out that our neighbor had pass away she had lung cancer she had been in bad shape for weeks now. I went in the house to see her daughter and she was in the room with her Mom and I wish I had not walk in the room. She was in bad shape she had lost a lot of weight and did not look like the person I new. I would like for everyone to keep the Snider family in you prayer while they go through this.

But I told her that the ultra sound they do in 8 weeks will tell the even better. I don't know what Alissa thought about all of this I have not had a chance to talk with her. But I don't care what it is so long as it is healthy I will take what the Lord bless us with. She needs one of each anyhow that is the best way to do it. I will just be happy when the baby gets here so I will have another one to love and spoil. Today was a busy day for me I had to take Mom and Dad to the Dr they had to go and see the skin Dr today.

My Trip and My Day Today

2008-05-19T12:55:00.002-05:00

Well the trip I took was to short and not long enough because it was to busy for me. When we got to Tennessee we had to wait on our room for awhile so my sis had to go to work. That left me having to go to the mall and look around for awhile,because my sis had to go to work. She work until 12:30 Friday night I fell asleep on the couch she had to call me on my cell so she could get in the room. Then she was so keyed up that we talk for awhile and before we new it she had to she had to get up and go back into work. So sleep I did not get because it was to busy for me and I not use to this busy. Then when I did get up out of the bed I found out that I was going to have to leave the hotel when she did so I end up eating breakfast and going back to the shopping mall and was at the mall until 2:oo and I got so tired because you could not sit down anywhere at this mall I even went to Lowes which was close by and look around. Well when she pick me up we went to eat and then left to come home. We had a nice trip there and back but it was just to much for me. Then yesterday whe I got up I could not hardly move I was so sore all over and my back legs just did not want to move. But I was happy I got to feeling better because last night who would have thought that Emily would have came forward and ask to be baptized. This was the greatest night I have had in a long time. To see someone that has grown in so many ways from a little girl to almost a teen and I know that is next year. She is such a sweetheart to me I think of her as a daughter she is special to me in so many ways I can not name them all. I was talking with her on Sat and it is hard for me to belive she is twelve years old, and going to be in the 7th grade next year. But Sunday night makes Emily's life complete it is a big part of her furture. I know that her Grandmother and Papa would have been so proud of her because that love all there grandkids so much and always proud of everyone of them. Well then we hear later that Shayla was baptizied to at the sametime so this was a great night of great blessing for both familes. Then today around my block they had to take two of the older ladies on my block to the hospital one with chest pains and the other passed out. Their is one lady that lives beside me that has two weeks to live she has lung cancer real bad. Her daughter told me her lungs were 40% full of fluide and she is on oxygen. We need to keep the family in our prayers. Well today I have to go up the street and help Mom with my Dad he has not bath are wash his hair since I was gone. I told her today she was going to have to do something this can not go on for much longer we are not going to make it ourselves. Well enough is enough everyone take care and May God Bless All Very Much.

Today was a good day I took Dad to Day Care and Mom,myself had a great day. I went by Fred's on my way home and looked around. Then I came home for awhile left after lunch went to April house and wanted on Alissa to come home. Boy they live in a very quite area of town you can only hear the birds and dogs when they barked not often did they bark. I went out on the front poarch and watch Alissa come in on the school bus. When she came up on the bus she was so happy to see me at her house. We stayed out on the poarch for a while a talk about her day and then we came in the house. She watch TV for short time then we went outside again she got in her pool. I told her it was to cold but she said it is not to cold I have already been getting in. So she got in and played for awhile then she got out and jumped on the Trampline and I sat on it while she jumped on it. It was so funny watching her jump with me on sitting on it. Then April came in and I had to leave but I did not want to leave but I had to. I told everyone bye and gave a hug and April said have a good trip. So I am going out of town with my sister to Tennesse over the weekend she has to work and I am going to shop around while she is at work. Melissa got a new ride and we are going to take her new ride and I can not wait to go with her. Everyone knows me I love to travel and leave town anytime I can. It is nice to get away from things sometimes I know things will still be here but I do get away from it for a couple of days and that is nice. Well everyone take care and May God Bless all.

Our Students Who Finsihed School

2008-05-10T21:37:00.002-05:00

Well it is hard for me to believe that Rachel and Jazz have finished High School it. It seems like yesterday and they were so little and could not speak are anything and now they are out of school and onto another step into life. I remmeber when Rachel was born it seems like yesterday when she was running around dressing up in dress up clothes. She was so cute and chubby which I think was oh so cute she also had this cute little smile which would get you every time. I took her on her first trip to ICYC she stayed with me and the older girls she enjoyed that very much. I let her get as dirty as she wanted I know Becky came to see about her at camp one day and boy was Rachel dirty. Becky said when you get home those things will have to go in the trash because they are just to dirty to wear any more. She also went camping with my family and I she enjoyed camping so much. I miss her going with us but I know she is all grown up now and she will be going to college to be a nurse and I know she will make a good one because she cares for people in the way you need to in order to be a nurse it takes a lot to be a nurse. Well she is a very special person to us and she will always be special to us. We love and think of Rachel as our on daughter because she spent a lot of time with us. Oh Stephen I do not want to leave out you better treat Rachel good are you will have to answer to ME. I know you will Stephen I was just kidding of course. Well then there is this young lady that I like to call Jazz and she is just as sweet and loving as she can be. I won't forget the first day I saw her with all the curls in her hair I always thought man I wish I had some of those curls. Because my hair has always been straight,she has a very pretty smile,and a very pretty young lady. I know one time at camp I remmeber her and Alex buring a lizzard that he had caught they even made a little grave for it. Jazz has a great smile and I know she will go far in life no matter what she does in the future. She has a great boy friend name Zack and he better treat her right are he will answer to her other Mom Me. I know Zack will treat Jazz right to. Well we come to Joseph Glenn I have not know you long but I feel like I have. You are a great person and know you are going to do good in the furture. I will never forget the first play I seen you in it was so good and I know you knew I was there because of my laughter. But what can I say you made me laugh and you did do a good job in the show. The food was great tonight as always and the people that served did a good job. Rachel cake's were great and I thought the little cakes were neat the kids took those home with them. The movie was great of the three young adults to boy this is hard to say young adults. We all had a great time Thanks to Josh and Katie and everyone else who helped.

Well Today is My 100th Post and My Dr Trip

2008-05-09T12:13:00.002-05:00

Well today is my 100th post which I never thought I would to but I did. I guess when you have a lot going on your life it does not take long to do that. If your like and you like to talk a lot about this and that you can do it before you know it. So today I had to go to see the Dr and get the packing out of my nose boy was that a nasty site to see. When it happens right in front of your face it is kind of not hard to miss. That was even bad for Joseph to see he said and I told him I am sure you have seen worse. This so bad it made me sick I thought the nurse was never going to get through pulling it out of my nose. Now my nose is killing me it hurts so bad I can hardly stand my nose on my face. I know it will get better in time I can not wait for it to get all healed up inside and out. It sounds like I have a cold when I talk I guess talk I feel like I have one also. After we got finished at the Dr we had to take the pump to April so she could get the rest of the water out of her pool. When I seen her I told Joe I said look at that pregant lady walking down the side walk. Then Joe goes over to her and bends down and says to her tummy Hey Baby Hey Baby,she said Mom make him stop I told her that he just wanted to say hi to the baby. Joe does that everytime he sees her,I told her well when you had Alissa he was only 16 and did not know as much as he does now. He told her that he hoped he was on rounds at St Vincent when she has the baby and he could help with the delivery. That is if she had to come to the ER first, we will have to wait and see. Well everyone take care and have a goodday and May God Bless.

2008-05-08T10:00:00.002-05:00

Well Wed was tuff the surgery it self went well and my nose was worse then want he thought it was. So I have been in a lot of pain I have packing in my nose so I have to breath through my mouth and that is hard to do. My mouth gets dry and I have been drinking a lot also a lot of pain medicition because it is bad. I had to sleep in Kents chair because that was the only way I could rest. I would wake up hurting and getting something to drink and then I would watch some TV. Friday I go to the Dr and he is going to take the packing out then the breathing will be much better of for me. Well I was up at six oclock and Joe was going out the door to a real bad accident on 269 this morning and I have not seen him come back in yet. He has been off from work since Tuesday and I think he feels much better. I will be gald when he finds out what he made on his final. I think he pass the test because he doing well so far with school. That is why I spent the day with my girls so I would not have to listen him complain because that is hard for me to do sometimes because I have so many other things going on. Well I have to go now and get something for my head everyone take care and May God Bless All.

Update On The Nana\What I got Today at The Thrift Store

2008-05-05T18:48:00.002-05:00

Well today started out at the Dentist for a check up this went well I do not have to go back for six months unless something stats hurting me from my fall. Because the dentist said it could have done some damage to my teeth on top. So I was not happy with that report for the furture. So after that I went to Big Lots,Peebles,then to eat at Subway from their I went to the Mission Thrift Store and found me two skirts and a little fold and play set for the baby to lay in outside and play in. Well from that point on it was on to see the sinus Dr Real he told me my nose was broke and he was going to have to do surgery on it Wed. because if he did it now while it was broke it would not be so bad. So here I go again it seems like I just can not get things fixed until something else happens. But I guess I need to learn how to act 52 instead 8yrs old again but that is hard for me no matter what I am doing. I think April put bad luck out there when she said Mom watch out your going to fall and she had no longer said that until I hit the ground after she had said that only did I hit the ground. Well I am trying to get my hubby to fix supper I don't feel so good but I think he is waiting on me to fix supper but he is going to do it for me. It is the very best HUBBY I COULD ASK FOR I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH. Well take care and May God Bless Keep Me in Your Prayers Wed while I am having surgery. Thanks Phyllis

TODAY WAS A BLESSING

2008-05-02T20:23:00.002-05:00

Robin got a great report today on her 2nd MRI everything had healed just like they thought from the 1st MRI. So we were so bless today and greatful for everything that took place for her. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts from everyone through out this whole thing. But she has to go back in 3mos for another MRI and to the Dr once a month for a check up also she has to start another round of Cemo for another week are so. So she can go on with her life now and be with us forever. Maybe it was all the healing services she went to are all the Blue Birds she saw. Whatever we will take it all so long as we have her here. She will be here with me to help out as much as possible with Mom and Dad. Tell help me spoil the little one that we have on the way. Well May God Bless All See Everyone Sunday. I am feeling better also I will be happy to get my glasses so I can see better.

I am Feeling Better Some What\ And Other Things

2008-04-29T19:50:00.002-05:00

Well I am feeling so what better today,I think as the week goes it will get better. My face is still brused up but not swallon up like it was. I am going to come to church Wed night I can not see much because I need my glasses. Daryl is working on that for me and he knows how bad I need them. My Mom told me today I was going to have to get my glasses were I can help her take the car back to the garage and be work on again. My younger Sis will not help Mom at all with anything not even getting the meds that they need and this is not good. So my Mom has to wait on me to come up to her house and call the meds in. So I am going to walk up to her house Wed. and call them in for her. Kent had to get them some milk yesterday because Melissa would not go and get it for them. They have done so much for her I don't understand why she is like she is. I had to call several Dr's yesterday and cancel appts' and make new ones. But this is one of those things I am going to have to put this some where in my heart are in the back of my mind with all the rest of my worries. Robin will hear from her MRI on Friday that she had done on Monday. I hope and pray that things go well for her. So keep use in your prayers that things will go well. I went to this shop out in Pleasant Grove across from CVS last week and brought a pack play, and a bouncer seat. April seen it before we left to go down to Oak Mt. she said Mom is this mine and I told her no this stays at Nana's house for when the baby comes over. She said the baby is not going to stay all night and I said I know. But she was just kidding when she said that I hope. Then today she said what I am going to do with Alissa when she gets out of school I said she can stay with Nana she said no not all the time on count of gas. So I guess I will just have to wait and see how things work out. Gas is getting unreal for everyone I don't know what people are going to do between gas and food. Things keep going up but your pay check stay's the same so it makes it hard to live. WE are having a garden to help us out on our food and if we could get a cow we would be doing great. Well take cae everyone and May God Bless.

Thursday night when we got most of the things set up we were all tired so when we got things to where we could take a shower and go to bed,we went and got one. On Friday morning Kent went to work and Alissa and I were at Oak Mt. by our selves. We ate braeakfast and went to the store and paid for the next two nights. While we were at the store we got a icecream and they were very good. We walke around for a little bit and then we went back to the trail and rested for awhile. A coupel hours later we went back for another walk to find the park for Alissa to play on the swing set, slide,and a couple of other things.

I had to go to the Er at Shelby and they check me out and said everything is ok expect for bruies. I had a fractured nose and a cut on my noise . Things could have been worse for me ,thye aslo said I mighht have to have surgery But other wise everything was good May God Bless All

Hush-a-by-Baby A poem I found in the Highlights Book

2008-04-24T17:33:00.002-05:00

When the Baby Arrived
With its soft Baby Toys
and its Bottles and Diapers
The Rule was-No Noise

Speak in a Whisper
Tiptoe Around
Turn down the Music
Don't Make a Sound

Shoes Clipping-Clopping?
Just Wear Your Socks
Don't Slam the Screen Door
Don't Spill The Blocks

Stifle Those Giggles
Don't Bang The Drum
Be Quite! Be Quite!
The Baby Has Come.

But................................
No One's Told The Baby
No Noise Is Allowed
'Cause Baby's the Noisiest
One In The Crowd Is The Baby

Well I thought this was a cute poem to add to my blog because everyone else you try to get quite and then the baby does get noisey. Well I am leaving as soon as we get loaded up in the van and I can not wait this will give so of those crazy people a chance to get off the road. Well Joe will be home by his self he has finals this week so he will be here. Joe is leaving for school and Kent said are you going to get Educated now that sounds like a southern person are someone who never went to school at all. Well today my Mom got her car back from the shop and when she got it home she could not get it to go in drive so I called Joe and they finally got it in her yard. Now she has to take it back because it was not like that when she took it in so they mess up the gears when they moved it. Well everyone take care see you all Sunday Night. May God Bless

Well Today We Found Out When the Baby Is DUE

2008-04-22T16:42:00.002-05:00

We know now when the baby is coming it is due Dec. 2nd that means she is 2mos. When she goes back at 20 weeks we will find out what the baby is. I am happy now at lest we have a date now I can tell people when they ask me when she is due. Then I took my Mom today to take her car to the shop and we went back to get it and it was not ready. So we went to the pig in Forestdale to gets some hambuger buns and meat for supper to girl out. While we were in the store a black man came up to us and ask for some money and all I had was my debt card and Mom said no. Then I watch him because I did not trust the look on his face after we said no. We check out and went to my van and her keys were missing,she kept them hooked on the side of her purse with a little bear and the keys hang inside her purse. So when we got to the van her keys were gone we think the black man took them off her purse because she looked every where for them. I watch the man and he would ask white women for money and a couple of black men for money. Then he went back to his car where their was a black man setting in the car wating on him he was working the outside people for money I watch him do it. While the other man went into family dollar and started working people. So it made me nerves so I called the county and they came and talk with them and searched the car and sent them on there way down then road. So be careful when you are out in Forestdale are anywhere. You never know what people are up to when they ask you for money. My brother loves riding in my van he calls it Kents van,he want to go with us to Oak Mt. but I know Mom won't let him. Well we will be leaving on Thursday and coming back on Sunday I am going to enjoy getting away for a couple of days I think Kent will to. Well take care and May God Bless Everyone.

It was neat riding and looking out and seeing things Kent got to ring the bell on the fire truck and he enjoyed that very much. We left about two and came home Kent worked of Aprils car for awhile I work in my house finish cleaning up in my house. Before I knew it was six o'clock and we went to eat at Marlins and then we cleaned the church bldg and came home.

Things are getting So Better and Back to Normal Somewhat

2008-04-15T12:57:00.002-05:00

We are getting back to Normal around here slowly but surely. Kent is back at work after being off for a couple of days. I told him it was hard being home without him I was so use to wakeing up with him here. Joe went back to school and work so it has been just me and the Cookie Monster here around the house. The phone has started ringing again like normal with things that Dad is doing are not doing. Yesterday I had to go to Moms and get him to take a bath,shave and I had to wash his hair,cut his finger nails for him. But today he is at Day Care Joe took him for me so we have a nice day going on today. The rest of my week is not going to be to busy I have to take Dad to the Dr Thursday. I at first thought I was going to be busy the rest of the week with Dr appts and my parents so the Dr office cancled some of the appts and made them for another day so that was good for me. I talk with Gayla today and they are doing ok we are talking about going camping next Thursday at Oak Mountain and I hope the weather plays out good for us so we can. Then April called me form work and they are all doing good. Joe is so funny when he gets around April he will bend down and start talking to her tummy and she will say Mom make him stop. It is just to funny watching all of this take place I can not help but laugh. Well I have not heard from Ben yet but he stays so busy and out where there is no cell towers and that does not help him either. Well everyone taka care and May God Bless you all.

Poem By Grandmother She will Be Missed Very Much

2008-04-13T19:42:00.002-05:00

I Even had to write Her Poem in Her Favorite Team Color Crimson and White For The Roll Tide Team. So if you are an Auburn Fan It might hurt your eyes to read this. But read it anyhow because you will love every word or this poem.

Side by Side By Betty Garrison

I know no what tomorrow holds
Or what your fate may be
But what so ever life brings
Let's meet it face to face

If for me time should come
To bid this would goodbye
I'll wait for you inside the gate
To lead you safe inside

Should God call you first to come
To that home up on high
Walk very slowly dear
I'll not be far behind

I'll gladly give up all I own
And Meet God with a smile
If we could enter heaven's gate
Walking side by side

Sequel by David Courington
Side by side we now can walk
In a far and better land
Our cares and troubles lade aside
By sweet Jesus we can stand

With outstretched arms he greets us there
More love than tongue can explain
To a life of constant bliss and care
No sorrow grief nor pain

To those of you we've left behind
I bid you fond farewell
Until one day soon you to0 can live
In that land of the golden bells

"Can't you hear those bells a ringing
Can't you hear the angels singing
Tis a glory hallelujah Jubilee
In that far off sweet forever
Just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells
For You and Me."

We had a great and wonderful Grandmother whom everyone loved very much she will be missed by all. But she is where she has wanted to be for a long time in heaven under neath that shade tree with Papa singing those old songs again and again. She is with old friends and family that have gone on before her. Well this is my last goodbye to the person whom I loved and shared a lot with while she was with us. It will take me awhile to get use to her not being across the street from us and being able to just walk over and see her also talk with her. Well I will close because I have said enough May God Bless all and we all would like to say thanks for all the help,prayers,food and thoughts during our time of need.

We Love Our Grandmother Very Much and She Will be Missed

2008-04-10T21:47:00.003-05:00

Well the past couple of days have been tuff for all but we are doing ok. Last night Kent was taking music of of cassett tape that his Dad was singing on and I just could not take it the music and hearing Papa voice sing the song made me sad and I just cried. Then he found one where his Mom and Dad were singing together and that was not any better. Then we had to do the picture frame and that was even worse just seeing the old pictures of them. Kent and them parents met so much to me they both were very special to me I loved them so much. I always called her Grandmother and him Papa I never called them by name. I still can see the smile on Papa face and Grandmother's they were very special. Today Alissa came to the house because when April told her about her Grandmother she could not sleep so she came to the house instead of going to school. While she was at the house we went outside and she got to talking to me and she said Nana will I ever see Grandmother again I said yes when you get to Heaven you will see her again. She said I feel sorry for Papa because he does not have a Mom are Dad. Then she said I want to make her a card she went to her room and made a card for Grandmother. She wrote in it and said Grandmother I will miss you and your smile then she wrote other things in it to she took a picture of herself in it and laid it with her Grandmother. Then Joseph wanted to put some of his badges in with her it was his EMT from Bevill State she was so proud of Joe. He went to see her the other day and she told Miles I had this good looking young man to come and see me and it was Joseph she had not seen him in awhile he has lost a lot of weight. We had a lot of friend and family to come tonight and see Grandmother she was so well loved and thought of. She will be missed very much. It is going to be hard living in my house and waking up everyday and looking across the street and seeing her house. It will always be Grandmother's house to me but I will miss seeing her there all the time. But she is in a better place then we are and she is up in Heaven with that wonderful man name Papa. Well all take care and May God Bless.

Today is a Sad Day at My House

2008-04-09T10:44:00.002-05:00

Grandmother went to the hospital last night at 11:00 last night she was not feeling well. Well about 3:00 Kent called me and said it is not good at all. Well Daryl came by to get me and before we got to St Vincent she had passed away. I could not belive this or I did not want to because Sunday she was in a good mood talking about how she could not wait to get out of the nursing home and go to her house. I told her that is what we want you to do is come home so we can come over to your house instead of the nursing home. Well I know that she will be missed greatly by everyone she was such a good person. We all loved her so much I wanted her to around for ever. Two of the sports she liked most of all was Braves baseball,Alabama football, Kent alwasy made her a Braves sheet with the games on it so she would not miss a one. She loved all her kids and grandkis,great great grandkids to. I wsh she could have stayed with us forever I did not want her to go and no one else did either. But she is Heaven with that great man that she was married to that Papa I can just see her smiling at him now saying Teamus here I am I have been waiting to see you for a long time. We don't have to worry about her being sick anymore because in Heaven there is no more sickness. Now there is the arragments that have to be made next to someone dying I think this is another hard thing to do because this makes things so final. So keep us all in your prayers as we go through this. We love all of you very much. The hardest thing in life is to give someone up are it is for me.

The Past Couple of Days \ With a Little More

2008-04-04T11:25:00.002-05:00

Well the past two days have been good for me and Mom Dad has been at day care and that has been great for us. Wed night I had to go to Mom's to get Dad to take a bath he would not take one for Mom. When I got up to Moms she had his clothes together for him so we got him to shave first. Then after we ate supper I had him to get a bath I had to get his boxer's and tshirt put them in the bathroom so he would not come out with nothing on,he has come out with nothing on before and that is some more site. Well it took him about an hour an half to get his bath that is with my Mom telling him how to bath himself. Well Thursday Me and my Mom ,Dwight went to Freds and the new grocery store that opened up beside Freds. My brother enjoyed his self so much he talked all the way through both stores. My Mom would tell him to be quite and he would for a few minutes then he would start talking again. Dwight enjoyed getting out of the house we had to look at everything on each shelf he would tell Mom what he wanted. I could not help but laugh at him. Then we went and got Dad from Day Care and then Dwight started with Dad saying he hit me I told him I see Dad he did not touch you. It is like two little kids when they are in the car together neither one can look at the other. But looking at my Dad he is here but just in another world and it is sad when you see one of your parents like this. It just breaks my heart because I know that is not my Dad. I told him April was going to have him another Great Great Grandchild and he said that is good. Well April goes to the Dr next week and finds out when she is due and I can not wait. I have been looking at baby stuff already I can not wait until I can buy somethings. Well the weather is suppose to get bad after while I am not looking forward to that if it would just rain that would be ok but the other stuff could stay away. Well Rachel is going out of town with her Mother this weekend and Ben is coming over Sat. I am going to get Kent to fix some ribs. Well April if you read this you all can come over for ribs to. Well everyone take care and May God Bless All. I love all my kids and their familes so much and I am proud of each of my kids. Alissa Nana Loves you to.

So Great and Wonderful News

2008-03-28T21:44:00.002-05:00

Well this one will not be long at all I have some great news to share with everyone. Kent and I are going to be grand-parents again. We found out tonight when we went out to eat with April and them. Alissa came through door and said Nana look at my test that I have. So I took the paper from her and looked at it and she did not give me time to read the paper. She said Nana I am getting a brother,sister for Christmas. I said you are I am so happy that I am going to be Nana again. April sat down I gave her a hug and she said she had took a test at home and she did not belive it. So today at work she went and had blood work done and it confirmed the news for her. She does not know now far along she is so I think she has a Dr's appt. next week to find out when for sure. Alissa had to call Ben and Joe to tell them and they were happy to. April called Robin she called me and said your going to be Nana again. I am so happy that we will have another baby around to hug and spoil again. If it is Christmas I know where I am going to spend my Christmas at. So I just had to spread the good news,this is just what we needed. I just had to start getting the news out to everyone.

Today Was a Great Day

2008-03-27T20:02:00.002-05:00

Well our family could have not ask for a better day. We went to the Dr with Robin today and we got good news from the MRI. Her blood work was good to it always has been through out the process. But Robin will have to go back in a month for another MRI and more blood work,she will have to cemo in a pill form for a week and then she is off of it goes back in four weeks for another MRI. They will check her again and this will tell them for sure if everything is the way they want it to be. The Dr. did say that they had two other people they had to do like this and everything turned out fine all the way around for them. But in the mean time we can think good thoughts. We are so thankfull,happy that everything turned out good for her. So now we have to 4 weeks to weight on another MRI,then she has to go back to the Dr's again. But right now we will take the good news and not think about the other MRI until that point in time. Mom was not sure about things but then that is just the way my Mom is sometimes. Robin would like to say BIG THANKS for all the prayer's that was said for her. Things could not have turned any better then they did for her and the whole family. I guess all of us will think about the other MRI when it comes in four weeks right now we are going to enjoy the good news we got today.

We are Back

2008-03-23T18:31:00.003-05:00

Well we are back and our kids did well on the awards this is what it is all about the kids winning plus learning more about God. There was a lot of walking to do from one area to another but that is another part of being at Convetion if you go you will always do some walking. The rooms we had were nice they had new beds in the rooms and the beds were king. Kent and I were ok with that but everyone else had to get a roll away bed for someone to sleep on. We did not have any room with two queen beds in them. Next to our room some group used it as a break room where they could come and eat that room was always smelling good. On Friday we wore our church shrits and so did everyone else. On Friday night Landon and Thomas brought the Banner in Friday night and so did the other Churches. We had so much fun when all of that took place you could yell,scream and clap for you church banner. Once that is done they start with art,poster,photo,media. We had several that won in these areas and we cheered them on. Then on Sat was when all the song leading,speech,Bible and other events took place we had several kids to when in these areas. This is the night that everyone is very tired because we have been so busy all day long. Today we got up and went to church before we pack to get ready to leave. They also had adution for Nahivlle Star this weekend this like American Idle except it is the country version. So we seen a lot of people walking around in boots and holding a guitar,the way some were dressed was hard to belive. We saw a girl that had blonde hair she was dressed in black long pants and a top that tied around her neck and back it was low cut in the front. She look so out of place their, because everyone else was dress so nice and neat. I did not want to come home when you are away time goes by to fast. But I guess all good things have to come to an end, then you have to come back to reality. Please keep my sis in your prayers she gets the results of her MRI on the 27th next week. Well take care and May God Bless All.

We Are in Nashville

2008-03-21T12:17:00.002-05:00

Well everyone got here safe and sound we went to the mall when we got here Thursday. We stayed at the Mall until our rooms were ready. It is nice to go to the Mall but you can only do so much in the Mall. There is a lot of people here at the hotel beside all of us they are trying out to Nashville Star. So this place is buzzing with all kind of people. We seen this one girl that looked out of place,her dress was very eye catching. She had blonde hair it was put up,dressed in this black outfit that looked like it was for a street walker. She got a lot of looks from everyone when she walked by. Next door to our room one group rented a room to sever food to the ones they were with. So that room stay's busy most all the time the kids are very noisey as usually but when they get through it does get quite. Well the rooms were a big goof this year a lot of the people ended up with a king size bed in the room for the whole family and that has never happened before. So they had to bring in some cots for the family's that needed them. All the art work,scrapbooks,photo got turned in today. Today not much is going on it will be Saturday when the cmpention starts up. Today the kids can get all the engery out and be ready at 8:00 to get started for the day. Well this is all for right now I need to take a nap I did not sleep well at all last night. May God Bless

Little This and That 3 More Days Until We Leave

2008-03-17T11:49:00.002-05:00

Well today I called the Dr to get something for my cold because it is not getting any better. Last night Kent told me he did not care how I was he we had to go to Conv. I for one would not miss going any how. I have a feeling I wll get some get medicine because I always do. I have a bad cough it is worse at night when I lay down but that is the way it goes. I have already got some things pack for Conv. I have had them pack since last week. The only thing I have left is packing clothes. That will not take me long once I get started,Kent thinks I am a fast packer. I can be when I want to go out of town. I love getting away for awhile and leaving things behind it sure does make it nice. Kent and I enjoy going watching the kids we have some great kids and they do so well with things. I think it is good for them I wish we would have had this program when my kids were younger it helps in so many ways. It teach them how to speak ,sing,debt and many other things that they might need in the furture. On the night that the kids walk in with the banners from there churches it is something else you can just feel the happiness and loundness in the air. Everyone is yelling for there church and the kids hold the banner even higher and higher you can just see the eyes sparkling from the stage. Even the adults laughter and smileing and yelling for them. The art work,group scrapbook, speech,song leading is a great and wonderfull work for young kids. When you judge things it is so much fun to hear young people talk and sing. Our kids work so hard during the year and it is worth it all because in the end you can see it all come out at the Convention. The other night at Mary Mary party Addie sat down beside me and said Ms Phyllis will you listen to me sing my song and I did she sang God is So God and she did a great job and just to think in the up coming years she has such a great furture ahead of her. Addie is a sweet little girl and she has a great family and Grand-parents also. She also told me that she would start to kindergarden in 5 months,she showed me where she had lost two teeth. I love little things like this about kids they are so smart. Alissa will soon be nine that is hard for me to belive I remember when she would chace after Emily all the time. Then I remeber when Addie would do Alissa like that. Addie will sometime ask me where is Alissa? Well the kids have to grow up but sometimes I wish they could stay little because of this big old bad world that they have to deal with. Well everyone have a good week I will in Nashville and will try to keep an update from the Hotel so you all can know how we are doing. May God Bless All! Keep my sis in you prayers she has her MRI done on Friday.

Last Night Was Fun\This One For You Mary

2008-03-16T10:41:00.003-05:00

Well last night was so much fun we need to get together more often.Last night we gave Mary Mary a party and it was a lot of fun. Becky left her house to go and get Mary while we waited at her house for them to return. When Becky got close to her house she called Rachel and said would you bring me two bottles of water and some medicine for her head and meet her outside. So when Rachel got off the phone with Becky we all went outside and waited on them to come around the corner. When they came around the corner and pullled in the drive way the look on Mary Mary face was worth a thousand words. Because she could not belive what she was seeing. She got out and said this is for me I can not belive this is for me. We went in the house she saw the food and said this is for me and someone said there is gifts to she said all this is for me. She said I have such good friends and she would not know what to do without us. We did this for Mary because we love her and will miss her next week when we are at Nashville and she is not their. Mary is a great person who needs a liver real bad and I wish it would come her way real soon. After we ate she opend her gifts and she got some real nice things that she will need for her long stay in the hospital. She even got a colors and coloring book,puzzle book,candy,PJ' and other things. The food was great as always we have good cooks, Rachel made the cake it was very good to. I have a daughter-in-law that is a wonderful cake artist that is a good name for that I think. We all had a great time I would love to do this more often because I think it is real important for us to do things like this. I enjoy the good Christian company and talking,laughter time we have to share together. Mary Mary is going to be fine I can not wait until it is all over for her so her life can get back to normal for her. She is a great person and friend even when she does call me Sally I still answer her when she does that. Well Mary Mary Take care and May God Bless you Soon with that new Liver I can not imagine how tuff this is. You have great kids and a great Husband in your life and I know that everything is going to turn out OK with God's Help. WE ALL YOU MUCH! We will all be around for you through it all and when you come home and need help we all can be there for you.

Today is a Better Day\ Watch What I Say

2008-03-14T14:26:00.003-05:00

Dad is at Day Care so that is great for me and Mom. I went to the bank and then to Walmart all by myself which is not often that I get to go to Walmart without my parents. But today was different and I enjoyed it. I got some things to go to Nashville with. So that makes me happy just thinking about it. The only thing was my Van started acting up and I had to call Kent and he came to Walmart and took my van and I drove the truck home. When I got home Kent was here and I got him to get the stuff out of the truck before he went back to work. So that helped me out a bunch. Then I talked to my sweet daughter whom I needed to say I am sorry for bring up something I should have not done. Sometimes I get to rambling and don't realize what I have said or wrote until I have said it. I need to watch my writing and my mouth because some things just do not need to be said again. Well enough about that before I go to far again. I love all my kids with all my heart. I have a great grandaughter whom I love very much and know that we will have more in the furture they will be loved just as much. Grandkids are very special little ones they brighten up your life so much. I can see that in the eyes of everyone that has grand kids. With the grandkids you let them get away with more then your own kids did with in reason of course. I don't like to spank are get on th them at all but you have to let them know sometimes who the boss is. Alissa just about gets away with anything most of the time all I have to do is just get own to her and she minds me. It is hard for me to belive that she will be nine years old next month. Nine years has gone by to fast I still remmember when she called me Nana and said I love you. Then I remmember when she started kindergarden it seems like only yesterday. Well my extra special moment was when she called Kent Papa which was what the kids called Kent's Dad and that is a special name to be called. That Man was a special person to everyone. I wish that everyone could have met that man. Well enough of the memories for right now next month is when I need to do this with Alissa's Birthday in mind. Well take care and May God Bless All.

My Day on Tuesday

2008-03-12T14:00:00.002-05:00

Well Tuesday I got up and took my Dad to Day Care like always he is sick but he still wanted to go to Dad Care and that was great. Because my brother was not feeling well either, so that made it hard on my Mom. After I got back from Day Care I started feeling bad I was dizzy,had a headache and then I took my blood pressure and it was 155 over 87 so I went to the fire station and it was up to two hundred and two by the time they took it. They took it about 20 minutes later and it was 175 over 87 so I ended up going to the ER they started and IV,oxygen, and on the way over to the St. Vincent it went down low. So I got over there and Iwas feeling worse my head was killing me and my chest was hurting me some,I was also sick at my stomach. So they got me all hooked up to the montors,drew blood work,x-ray,CT scan. Then I got two shots for headache and sick stomack. Then they finally came in the room and told me everything was fine expect for my blood pressure so they gave me some more of my blood pressure med and it finally got better so they let me come home. Well Thursday I have to go to my Dr. and get some more blood work done and my blood pressure checked again. I have to deal with my Dad so I have to be carefull Thursday that I don't let things get to me again. I know also the fact that Robin called me and told me she had to go to the Dr fast the day before did not help me either so I think things went down hill from that point because that was on Monday. Today she had to go to the Dr again but I did not take her because of the stress it would put on me again today and I needed to rest after yesterday. But I have not heard from her yet so I wish she would hurry up and call me. Joseph and Kent both have called several times today to make sure I am at home and not out anywhere today. Joe Joe said last night he would take my keys if I did not stay at home he said Mom take care of yourself are you are going to have a stroke are a heart attack. I did not want either of them. Well see everyone later Take Care and May God Bless All.

My Day Today was Tuff

2008-03-10T21:44:00.002-05:00

Well to start out with I had to go get my Mom and Dad out of trouble Dad being like a kid and not wanting to get out of her way. She had to call the Dr about my brother and we had to take him in at ll:00 so she was trying to get a bath but Dad would not stay out of the way for her to get one. By the time we did get him out it was to late then for Mom to take a bath. So I told him to get trash cans out of the way so we could leave when I got back but he did not do that. When I got back to the house Mom and my brother were coming out of the house and Dad was on his way out. So I made him move the trash cans out of the way I opened the gate and Mom shut the gate then we left. We got to the Dr,Dad and I parked the car and walked back to the Dr office all he could do was spit so I had to get on to him I know you have to spit he just does it anywhere. So I had to watch him and make sure he spit on the grass and not the side walk. When we got up to the Dr office Mom did not have to sit long thank goodness for small favors. I had to take Dad to the bathroom he kept sneezing and coughing he is sick to he goes to the Dr Thursday with me. I have to have a blood fasting and blood pressure checked the time we have to be there is nine thirty because of me and the blood work. So by the time I deal with him my blood pressure will be real good. Because today when I got home it was 149 0ver 77 which is to high for me. But going what I went through today beside my Mom and Dad was Robin called she had another seizure so she called me I had to get April to take her to the Dr and when I got home with Mom and them I left,ate then went to let April go back to work for the rest of the day. After we left the Dr Robin wanted to get Bill somethings for his B-day this week so we did that and then we went to her house. When I got to her house Bill was asleep because he was sick and we opened the door to Trey's I was shooked because Trey and his new girlfriend was asleep in his bedroom on the bed. The girl raised up and she was clothed and but Trey had his shirt off. I thought to myself this is not right it is all wrong this is where it all starts. But when you have been there once it makes you think about alot of things. But I my way home Robin called and I have to take her to the Dr again because of her seizure med the level is to high. She has her MRI done on the 21st so please keep me and my family in your prayers on this day that everything will be OK for her. May God Bless All, I also have a Great and Wonderful Husband whom I Love Very Much I would not kno What to do Without Him.

Then she will look at Gayla's tummy hunting for the baby. Cassie and Keith went to say with someone for a couple of days. I told Gayla to get all the rest she can while in the hospital because I have a feeling when she gets home she will not get much. Then she told me that Cassie still wakes up at night to so she will have her hands full when they all get home together. She still has two in diapers and that is not good I would have had Ms Cassie out of diapers. But she did not I guess some are ok with that. Emily and Becky were up at the hospital to when we were there and Emily did not want to leave the baby. April,Jason and Alissa went up to see the baby last night and Alissa said he was so cute Nana I told her she would make a good big sister when she got a new brother are sister.

Well last night we got a call from Kevin and he told us Gayal was in the hospital that her water broke. I got so excited because I was going to be a great Aunt again I wanted to go up to the hospital but I did not feel like going and Kent had to go to work.,so we did not go. But this morning I had to go and get my block in my neck to help me feel better. I feel real sleepy because they gave me a pain shot,bendryal for itching plus I was put to sleep,so all combined I just feel so bad right now. It will take me a couple of days to get over the shot and begin put to sleep. When we got back home Kent went to work and I went to bed and sleep for awhile. Then I get a call from Tim later after lunch and he said he was here that Andrew weighed 6lb and 7oz. I ask about the lenght and how much hair who he looked like and he had not seen him yet. I hope I get to see him Friday night I can not belive I am a great aunt again. If only they lived closer that would be nice I could see them a lot. My Mom is feeling better today she had to go off and had to take my Dad with her he always wants to tell you how to drive. Well we are watching CSI now and I love this show it is a good show to watch. Jo Jo is at school right now and it is quite right now around here. The dog is asleep on the couch which this is her thing most of the time OH she does eat. Well all take care and May God Bless Everyone.

I changed my name also to what Alissa calls her Nana a lot when I do get kinda silly with her. But Alissa still loves her Nana no matter how silly are Goofy I might be that is just me what can I say. I had rather be silly then an old grouch all the time are not laugh a little are in my case I like to laugh a lot. Today is a good day for me and my Mom Dad is at Day Care today and Wed. Jo Jo is at work today he had a big test last night but he does not know what he made yet but he has made good grades so far.

Well Today What Ever Day/JoJo and his Accident

2008-03-01T22:52:00.003-06:00

Well today we got up and ate breakfast talked about what we were going to do after wards. We went and got Kent a new toy that is a new mower I was not going to say anything about it I was going to let him talk first. When men get something new they want to talk about it before a woman does because we usually don't know what we are talking about when it comes to a lawn mower and I dont know anything about them other then where the gas goes and how to start one. I like this one because I can drive the lawn mower myself and that makes it nice. How often this will happen I do not know. It is a nice mower you can let the seat forward for short people to drive and that makes it nice for me when I drive it. Well speaking of driving I did get to drive the lawn mower until Jo JO came in and he wanted to drive so I let him drive. But it does make it nice to have one that will drive all the time now. Well JO JO had a date tonight with a girl he went to High School with he met her at Bevill last week at school one night. But he is not to sure about her at all. Well the week before he had a wreck while he was driving a patient to the hospital the person that hit him thought he could out run him but instead they hit. But everybody was alright thank goodness. So he had to work last week in Pelly City for two days and today he worked in Hoover. Maybe this week he will be back at Jasper to work. He had to go to driving school again and then he ended in these other station as part of his accident because it was his fault. They don't always have the right away when driving but still it don't make since to me since they have all the lights on and horns blowing. Well Alissa is sick with strip throat this weekend so she did not get to stay the night with us. Well I can not wait until tommorrow because we will be working on things for Nashivlle. I am getting tired and I am going to bed now see everyone Sunday May God Bless.

A Little This and That On Me,Other Stuff Too

2008-02-28T16:06:00.004-06:00

Well with me you never know what is going to be going on with me. I am having trouble with my neck,arms and I was suppose to have gotten a shot today and I had dental work done yesterday. I have to take an antbotic when I go for my MVP and since I took that I could not have the shot done today. So next week I will get some relief when on Thursday I get my shot. The arms hurts so bad it makes it hard to do anything. I was trying to cook and nearly drop some glass ware on me last night when I was cooking I had to get Kent to do it for me. Sleep is even hard to get because I get to hurting during the night. Well I talk to Kent and he went back to the Dr today to see what he could find out because he is still hurting. The Dr said he might have to do and ultra sound to find out what is going on with him. Today Joe is studying for a big test tonight he has been working hard the past week. I think he has been working to hard he does not take to many breaks. Last night when he started home the truck he had drove broke down on him before he left work last night. So he had to wait until it got fixed are got another one to drive back to the office in Admasville he was all the way in Pell City. Tonight we are eating at Moms Robin and them are bring food to Moms house so I guess we are eating up at her house tonight. Next week I will be busy with my Mom she has to take my brother to the Dr again for his 4 week check up after being in the hospital. Then on Tuesday and Wed I have to take Dad to Day Care. I have been trying to take care of myself here latley my blood pressure has been quite as high as it has been. So that is great! Oh Kim I love Addie's Blog that is so cute sounds just like her.

Well I am Trying to Get A New Look On My BLOG

2008-02-26T22:36:00.002-06:00

Well I am trying to fix my blog up,well not me but my Sweet Hubby is doing it for me it will take awhile for him to finish. He is not feeling that great yet,he is calling the Dr. again tommorrow. He thinks it is his gallbladder. The Dr told him if it was not better by Wed. to give him a call back and they would set him up for an ultra sound and check him out. Well I just wanted to let you all know about Kent because if he gets to active he starts to hurt more and if he eats to much the same thing happens he hurts on his left side and it is tender to the touch. Well Wed I will have a filling done and Thursday I will get a shot in my neck it is hurting me again all down in my arms. I can hardly drive they hurt that bad. To day I had to take Dad and get his blood work done and when I got back home I check my blood pressure and it was up higher then the Dr wants it to be. But my Mom was in a bad mood because my younger sister got ugly with again about Dad and said that we treat him mean all the time and that is not true. She just needs to be around more and see some of the things he does to me and more so Mom because she is with him all the time. I am going to like my blog when Kent gets done with I love polar bears,I had a post card when I worked with three polar bears on it and one was Ben,April and Joseph. There is a ploar bear at the bottom I called it Alissa. She was over here tonight and Kent had to help her with her homework to get it done before her Dad got here and we did get it all done so she did not have to do her homework when she got home. Well Joe is studing he has a test Thursday night and he got done with his papere that he was working and think he has turned it in already. Well I a going to bed now I have wrote enough take care and have a great day and May God Bless.

Today Lunch and After Lunch,After Night Service

2008-02-24T22:18:00.001-06:00

I always enjoy going out to eat after church at night with everyone and it is different and that is good. Different is nice because the group of people you go out with like to have fun and it is good fun. You can have a good time out with people and not drink in order to have so fun and laughter. Well little Miss Hannah was with her Mom and Dad she is a cute little girl that is full of engery I wish I could bottle it up and take a bottle of her engery every day. I could sell it to and make a lot of money off her engery. We even go out after church on Sunday morning and eat also and we enjoy that to. We went with Becky,Daryl,Emily,Rachel and Kent,myself all went to eat after church this morning I rode with Rachel,Emily went with Kent. I had not got to ride with Rachel in her new car and that was fun. Rachel is very pretty,also very smart if I may say so myself not just because I am her aunt but she is. I love to talk to her she is so understanding and a very good listener also. She has a great boyfriend his name is Stephen and he is a nice young man also he goes to UAB. Emily of course you can not forget her she is a sweetheart also and I love her she always like to hear her Uncle Kent say that she is his favorite neice. But Kent loves them all. Kent has such a loving family and a very understanding family they try to help as much as they can when things go wrong in life. I am so thankful for my husband and his family but they all come by this honest because of the kind of parents that they have. His Dad was a great man and we all miss him very much. I wish Grandmother would get back to her old self because we all miss her so much just being herself. We went to see her today but she would never wake up enough to say anything are even smile at us. So we did not stay long at all when we left she did not know we had gone. Then at five oclock we went back to church I heard the girls speak and they did a great job the more I hear them each year the better and better they get. Then at church time we heard the guys and they are getting better each year also all of our young kids are going so fast soon we will be starting over. We have little 0nes that will be growing up in the furture to take these kids place some day. Well it is time to shut down and go to bed but first we have to finish watching Dirty Jobs. This guy does do some dirty jobs that only he can do because I could not do them but someone has to do them. So why not let it be Mike Rowe. Well everyone have a good day and don't work to hard if you have to go to work.

Update on Me and Kent

2008-02-21T22:10:00.002-06:00

Well Wed night Kent and I were not feeling well I had a root canel,Kent was sick. Well today I went to the Dr and my blood pressure was still up and I had lost five more pounds. They also put me on med for my potussim and chang my MVP med and put me on a water pill also. My jaw is still hurting I go back to the Dr in three weeks for blood work and recheck on the blood pressure. Kent has that stomach flu that is going around and he got some med. the sick feeling in his stomach I thought he was going to get something else but he did not get anything else. I just hope I do not get it. That is all I need with everything else I have going on. The Dr told me I was going to have to be careful are I was going to find myself in the hospital with either a heart attack or stroke. I do not want either one of them so I am going to have to take care of myself better. Sometimes it is hard with everthing I have to deal with sometimes. Robin goes to her Dr.s Friday and she will fine out when they will do the MRI the first of next month. Well keep her in you prayers. Grandmother is back at the nursing home in Hueytown so this is good. Well everyone take care and May God Bless All.

Something a Little Funny Which is Not Often for Me

2008-02-19T19:28:00.002-06:00

I have something a little funny for everyone this is a change for me. Well the other day I was in JoJo room helping him clean up somewhat if that is possible to do. Well he pulled out of his closet a old foam head that Ben gave to him I think. But any how he told me what happen to the nose on the face. He told me that when Alissa was little she got it and bit off the end of the nose. I thought that this was funny. He told me she said it has no nose, he said no nose and she said yes. Joe looked at her and she had the end of the nose in her mouth. So he still has this because it holds some memories for him about her. Then yesterday while she was at the house she was eating her lunch and lost a tooth. She said Nana I lost my tooth and Mom will be so happy that I finally lost the tooth. Then we were playing a game and it was a search and find game I ask her if she sees the pineapple and she said pinapple and told her no Alissa pineapple so we had a good laugh over that and loved our time together as we always do. She always said Nana you are so silly just like my Mom is.

Today was a Nice Day

2008-02-18T20:47:00.002-06:00

I had Alissa today and we played games the biggest time of the day. They put Grandmother in a room today so that was good news for all of us she is on the 3rd floor and doing good. I did not have to go to Moms so that made it nice because I did not want to drive are go anywhere if I did not have to. I was tired after our trip but it sure was nice to get away for a couple of days. Anytime I can get away is good for me. Today when Alissa and I were playing a game where you had to find hidden objects and it was neat. We had to find a pineapple and Alissa said what is a pineapple and I just laughed. I told her it was a pineapple and not a pinapple. So it made the game that much more fun. But she is learning so much and growing up so fast. The other day on Valentines day April gave her the same birthday card that I did.But she drew some stick people and put there pictures on the people. Alissa said this is so cute but it would look better if their was another person in the picture and told April see I did not have to say anything she came up with that all on her own. Well Tuesday I have to go to Moms and shave Dad he has not shaved are washed his hair since last week. So I have to go tommorrow and do it for him. Wed I have to go to the dentist and Thursday I have to go to the Dr. So the next couple of days I will be busy with myself. So everyone have a good week and May God Bless. I would also like to say I am thinking about David and his Mom,Dad. Mary I am thinking about you also I hope and pray you get a liver real soon also I hope your Dad gets better soon also.

A little Short One Guess Where I AM?

2008-02-15T20:29:00.002-06:00

Guess where we are and having a blast to. Well I am in my favorite place that I always like to go and get away. It would be good old Tennessee in the Mountains that is where I love to go and get away from it all. Kent brought me here to get away from things since I have been going so strong for the past month or so. Today we went to Rock City and Ruby Falls so things have changed and some have not we walked I guess 2 and half miles today. But we had fun it did us both some good to walk. Now I am tired because I have walked to much my legs are not like they use to be. We seen a bunch of people out today at Rock City and Ruby Falls. Their was a lot of young people up around here also today it must have been some kind of competion because there was just to many young people. We went down in the falls and it was very pretty and the guide we had was great.He told us back in 1975 they some people get stuck down in the falls because the elevator stop working. They had no food,water until the next morning and they had breakfast waiting on them gave them the money back for the tickets and a year pass back to the falls. HA! HA! I don't think I would want to come back if I had go stuck down in the falls. Well that is all for now see you all later take care and May God Bless. Kent will put some pictures on next week Maybe you all know how Kent is about his Blog.

The Past Three Days for Me and My Valentine Day

2008-02-14T12:16:00.002-06:00

Well the past three days have been tuff for me with the old blood pressure it went all crazy on me. It got real low and then I got cold,sweaty,weak I thought I was having a stroke. My face even had a funny feeling so Kent and I went to the ER. We left at midnight and go home at 3:30 Wedensday morning. They did and xray,CT scan,blood work and two shots. Then the Dr whom I did not like came in and said he could not find anything wrong. So we left and came home then Kent said I played around in the closet before he told me you need to go to bed. I told hime something had to be going on because I have never felt like this. Yesterday all day long my blood presure was still going crazy. So I called my Dr and left a message about what was going on and they called me this morning and told me to take half tablet of my blood pressure medicine and come in next week . So I have been taking my blood pressure all morning long to make sure things are going ok. So far it is all going well this morning. Then Kent told me we were going to the mountains for Valentines Day so I am happy about that anytime we can get away these days is good. Joe came in and said he had a ruff night at work so he ate and went to bed. The April called to see how I was and she told me I needed to take time for myself. But when you have to help your parents it is so hard to do. Dad did not go to Day Care today because Mom said it was to cold for him to get out. He is already being bad toady I just hope he does not get to bad if he does he will go to the hospital. Melissa told Mom if he went to Day Care she would not pick him because that was not her job so it is better he is not at Day Care. Ben is coming home from Mississippi today he had to go their and work for a couple of days. Everyone have a good cupid day and don't let him hit to hard. May God Bless Everyone

A little this and that and More

2008-02-12T13:38:00.000-06:00

I thought I knew what a normal life would be like when my brother got home but it is not normal. I don't think it ever will be because there is always something going on if it is not my self it someone else. My brother is getting better but he still can not move around well. Today me and Mom have to take him to the Dr because he has swelling in his right leg. But one good thing is that Dad is at Day Care. I still don't know what a normal life is because I thought Sunday was going to be normal but Sunday after church I had to go off with Mom and help her. Then I had to get Dad to take a bath so I did not get to come to church Sunday night. Then I had to help with Meds so that took some time to do. Well today I went to the Dentist and I have to have some work done on my tooth on Thursday morning so I am not looking forward to that. I think Kent and I are going to go somewhere for a couple of days so we can get our thoughts together so say. We just want to get away for some our time together are put as alone time. Joe has been doing good in school and that is great for him. April is doing good she is having to learn somethings all over again since she started to Nursing School. I know she can do good and make a good nurse some day. I came up with an idea for the ladies at church I think we need to have a girls night out and go eat and out shopping let me know what you think about this anyone that is older then the younger girls. Since they already have a night for girls that are young. Don't won't to hurt anyone feelings at all. This is a way to just get away for a couple of hours at a time every so often. Well I found out today that I was going to an Aunt again and get another baby boy. My niece Angie is have a little boy but she did not tell me my Mom did. She is still mad at me and does not claim me as an Aunt but that is ok if that is the way she wants to be. She called Mom but did not ask how Dwight was at all are anyone for that matter. She did mention April and Rachle but I think that was just her way seeing if they were having a baby. She has not liked April since she had Alissa because she had the first Grand child April did. She does not have anything to do with Alissa either. But that is ok she will pay one day for all on this and it won't be with me,but the good Lord above. Well I need to get off that subject and get off this computer to go help my Mom and my brother to go to Dr. May God Bless All, been is in Jackson Mississsippi he will be back Thursday night keep him in your prayers when he starts back home.

Something a Little Funny for Once

2008-02-06T12:30:00.000-06:00

Well I on Friday night Alissa came over to the house and we went out to eat and to Walmart for a little while which was nice to do. Alissa got a new game for her Ninetdo DS,2 shirts and a new gown with Hannah Montanna on it. Then we were getting ready to leave and April called and said we are picking her up she is spending the day with her friend Emery. I said we will be at the house in a few minutes and they met us here. So getting to the funny part of the story April and Jason got to the house before we did. They tired to let cookie go out and she would not go out for them. So she called me and said cookie will not come out from the table. So I ask her if the door was open and she said yes. She put the phone to cookies ear and I said go outside waggy tale and she went out the door April said. I thought that was so funny they could not get her to go out and she heard my voice and went right out. April said you this dog spoiled and I never thought I would see you take up with a dog like this. Well to make this story even more funny she also sleep with me when Kent leaves the house for work. We brought her dogie DO,some good smelling dog shmpoo to. She is very special to us we treat her just like she is family and she get's pretty much anything and she is also an Alabama Pup to. During the day she sleeps on my couch on her on Blanket. Cookie knows what a chew is all you have to say is cookie do you want a chewey and she starts wagging her tale big time. The chewy is her stack that she get's during the day are anytime we ask her if she wants one.

Dwight Came and Grandmother is going to Wed. May Be

2008-02-05T21:42:00.000-06:00

Well Dwight came home yesterday,after he ate his supper the Dr wanted to see if he could keep it down and he did so we left a little bit before six oclock. When he got home Kent had to help and get him in because he can not walk good yet. When he got in he put his hands together and said yea Dwight is home. He let out a big laugh because he was that happy to be back at home and in his on bed,room. He was not at home long until he started picking on Dad but that is the way it goes at Mom's house now. Then Kent and I ate supper with them Melissa had supper ready so that made it nice for Mom most of all. Dad had been at Day Care that day thank goodness for Day Care. Today he was at and a Major pain he was he did not want to do anything but that is his natural thing now he has rather sit then move. But I went up to the house and got him to moving while Mom went to get some money and some of Dwight Medicine. I made him pick up the paper that the little dogs go out on, his smell does not work so that was good,then I made him shave. After Mom got back I left and went and picked some things up for her that she need also. When I got back he was asleep and I made him wake up and go back in the kitchen with Mom and sit until she got supper done,I told him not to go back to his room because I new he would go back to sleep. But before I left I had to help Mom get Dwight to the bathroom and that was hard for us both. She said Dad would not help her with Dwight while I was gone he told he that he could move by hisself. I told him that he could not move without two people helping because he just got home from the hospital yesterday. I told him the next time she ask for help he better help her are I will get on to him again but it does not matter what you say he will do what he want's to. We think Grandmother is going to the nursing home Wed. if everything is still going ok with her tommorrow. I hope so it will be much better for her and everyone and she can also get some well needed Rehab. She can have her flat screen TV in the nursing home,she will be at Self Nursing Home in Hueytown. Robin goes the first of March and has her MRI done and I hope and pray things go well for her as she has this done to see how things are.
