CREATIVE THOUGHTS?

2009-11-08T17:46:00.003-05:00

Today I pulled out my Christmas Clothes! It's moving closer isn't it?

Also today was the funeral for a church member, Curtis Wilson, Les is working and so I didn't go. He was blessed to have another church member be his patient sitter and spend his last weeks with someone who cared that he was comfortable.

CONGRATS to my nephew who won a Band award this week end.

HERE'S THE SCRIPTURE CHALLENGE

We're starting a new theme this week based on ABUNDANCE. So, our scripture verse for Week 33 comes from Jeremiah 33:6b which says:
“I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.”

This is my MIL receiving the flag at the funeral, I think it's a great picture!
Waiting for my grapes on Farmville, they will be ready very shortly, Les is having as much fun at this as I am! He and Gina want to do colored fences around theirs I like the white one best, LOL!
Got some great buys yard saling today! Plenty of glass and windchime stuff. I also sold some jewelry at my Dr.'s office yesterday and my Mom sold 2 pairs of earrings just by wearing hers yesterday to work! I had to go by and get some beads to make them and got some to make some Christmas, ones too.
Les has to work Again tomrrow! That's 3 in a row! He has a new boss and I really thought he would get off! I just don't like to drive at night when it's cool, I cough so much and can't see well at all so I usually don't go. I already have my missions meeting Monday, I was hoping he would be off to drive me. No such luch, he works next 3 nights!

Grand babies are so awesome! I missed Charli so I stopped by Debbie's to see her and we had a good time, she cried because she thought I was going to take her. I did go to Kindermusik and play with her, she was sleepy, I guess she has not got used to the time change.
Mason's new IE came today, I am glad she is going to help him!

Time Out!

2009-11-04T17:39:00.002-05:00

Charli has a book she likes to pull out of her Mommy's shelf and when she did I gave her a Time Out. She goes right into her room to sit on the carpet. We always talk to her about what she did wrong and she does understand. I am very proud of her!
I was feeling very bad and had a low fever but thanks to Tylenol and a nap I feel much better now.
Zaroga, you were right about Farmville, it becomes an Obsession! I am waiting for my Watermelons to grow, they have been 99% for quite awhile! I don't like farm Town, though, I have a pile of Fuel tanks I have been gifted but nothing to run on fuel. Les is also hooked!

2009-11-03T06:29:00.001-05:00

Isn't this adorable? Jeremy and Seth singing at church, he sings and hums a lot, too, maybe both my babies with be musical!

2009-11-02T22:28:00.000-05:00

Juli put some pictures of Seth in his Halloween costume so I wanted to share.

Halloween was Rainy so instead of going Trick or Treating like they planned Gina called and asked me to ride to visit Charli's Grandmothers, she had a great time and so did they! We went to Mama's, my MIL and Trey's Mom's house and she enjoyed the attention!

2009-10-30T20:38:00.003-04:00

My sweet little Plex Robot! We had our Fall Carnival tonight and Charli had a blast! She is very funny, didn't want Gina to paint her face so I had to do it, I Did have to get Gina to fix it though as it was hard both holding her and painting her face too!

2009-10-30T20:37:00.000-04:00

Les and I didn't make good time coming home from Atlanta, got home at 11:20
Seth is a very good traveler!

2009-10-28T21:38:00.004-04:00

I have had the worst time getting pictures of my babies together! Saturday Charli didn't go to Emerald Farms with us and it rained so much lately and today we went to feed the ducks, Charli decided she didn't want to give up the rolls to the ducks and ate them, LOL, the bread was still ok just what we had left from all the bread from the funeral.
I get off early tomorrow and we head to Atlanta, oh, I dread the drive!

2009-10-27T22:28:00.001-04:00

We ate supper with the kids, looks like Les and I are going to have to take them to Atlanta as soon as I get off Thursday, not looking forward to the drive. Les has an infection in his back and will be miserable!
Charli Loves her Uncle Jeremy!

Today we went to Anderson with Tim and L.A. to go to Sam's to get some things for the church and ate at Fuddrucker's then took Seth and Eli to the Goat farm, Charli was supposed to go and I was sad she didn't but that's the way it went.
Then we went to see Grandmama, I got some pictures but they are Bad, I wish Twila had been there of someone who could have got them...
Trey put my exhaust fan in, too, it will help my breathing in that small bathroom!

2009-10-23T17:46:00.001-04:00

OK, ZAROGA, I HAVE YOU AND GINA TO BLAME!
I said I wouldn't do Farmville because I have such an addictive personality but there I did it anyway! I am waiting for my crops to grow!!

2009-10-21T22:28:00.000-04:00

Les and I are busy rolling on the floor with the kids...

My Grandkids

2009-10-20T20:37:00.009-04:00

I told you I would post pictures of my babies and here they are! You may can tell Charli is taller than Seth, he is so much like Jeremy was!
I hope to get back to 'normal' soon. I went back to work today then kept Charli until 6:00. We were going to eat over at Gina's but Seth hurt his shoulder so we stayed home. There are 2 places Jeremy wants to eat while here, a Mexican restaurant I took him to when he was a kid and Rick's Uptown Deli which has some good southern vegetables! He loves collards, beans and cornbread all mixed together, He doesn't get that kind of cooking in Washington. The family wants to take him out to dinner before he leaves, I wish they would agree to take him to a place HE wants but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. We used to go to Rick's after church and when he came home on a leave when he joined the Army. I will make sure he gets to visit his favorite places any way.
Les spent time helping his Mom trying to see what she has and needs to do. We are upset about that situation but I won't say anything about that.

2009-10-19T22:24:00.001-04:00

Just got in and am too tired to post anything but this one picture I caught of Les and Jeremy after funeral...

Been with family all day, got few pictures but too tired to post, I will say Seth is a cutie and loved his meme, I spent a lot of time with him. Many of our church came to the funeral home and they really brought in the food!

Update

2009-10-17T08:46:00.004-04:00

Gina and Trey went to Atlanta and got Jeremy's family and they got in at 3:00 this AM. They were all tired but it was cute when they put their stuff in the spare room (her Daddy's office) Charli said "NO!" and crossed her little arms, she is not allowed to play in there and thought they shouldn't be there either, LOL! She took right to Alexis and let Seth play in her car and tried to get him to play blocks with her.
She, Les and I had all taken a long nap so when they got home she was feeling good, Les has not gotten much sleep in days. The bad thing is after I ate I got so sick! I started with my stomach at Gina's and when we got home slept a few minutes and got up and Les was in bathroom and I got sick all in the hall! He cleaned it up for me, he has always been good about that kind of thing. I am starting to feel better now, didn't want to take my meds and throw them up but I think I can go take a cool bath and take them now.
Will post pictures later of the kids.

Papa's Gone

2009-10-16T06:04:00.001-04:00

Les got the call a few minutes ago, his Dad is dead. Jeremy is coming in tonight and Gina is going to get him. I am just praying Les's sister will behave....

A waiting game

2009-10-15T19:53:00.002-04:00

Here is Charli tonight at Kindermusic with the bells. While I was there I was playing phone tag with Jeremy, I still have not talked to him but Les said he is coming home, I don't expect he will see his Papa, the Dr does not think he will make it through the night, Les has be there all day and will probably stay if he can until the end. I am hoping "J" can bring Seth but I don't know if that is possible or not. Les's Mom put a DNR so an IV is the only thing he has now. The biopsy came up cancer and Les said it is bad. Now we are waiting...

2009-10-14T18:12:00.003-04:00

It has been a lazy rainy day, I ran out of coffee so I drank hot chocolate this morning, I wasn't as good. Charli took a good long nap and then we played blocks.
My FIL has now had 2 close calls, it is looking like liver cancer, Les was off and stayed with his Mom part of the day. Preacher Bud stopped by, we both are too worn out to go to church tonight.
